about

Written in the wake of personal triumphs and tragedies, “Name,” encapsulates the the ups and downs of life through bruising lyrics and ragged instrumentation. The verses are tightly coiled with arpeggiated guitars bouncing off of one another. The tension continues to build in the bridge until finally exploding in the chorus.

lyrics

A slow poison takes hold
Oldest story ever told
Anyone could see it coming
Hand to mouth always running

Can I come inside
Remind myself I’m alive
I am burning up tonight
Come bath in my fire light

Bridge
After all is said
And after all is done
Nothing can end til it’s begun

Chorus
I named death
To understand why we’re left
Why life’s beauty is fleeting
And so full of meaning

Cover me in ash
A gray mask
Paint me for the war
Before I sing into the storm



I end where I’m lead
Violent visions rushing through my head
Now I’m left with a hole
A dark void that will never close

I need something to grow
Something I can hold
To fill in this empty land
Make it vibrant again

Bridge
After all is said
And after all is done
Nothing can end til it’s begun

Chorus
I named death
To understand why we’re left
Why life’s beauty is fleeting
And so full of meaning

Cover me in ash
A gray mask
Paint me for the war
Before I sing into the storm



A creeping darkness begins
Along the edge of my vision
For years I couldn’t trust my eyes
Now I’ll close them one more time

Out of darkness a light
A new dawn to break the night
So that I may proclaim
A new name

Bridge
After all is said
And after all is done
Nothing can end til it’s begun

Chorus
I named death
To understand why we’re left
Why life’s beauty is fleeting
And so full of meaning

Cover me in ash
A gray mask
Paint me for the war
Before I sing into the storm
