about

This is the first single from With Stones' forthcoming album 'Missives', due out on the 21st February, 2023.

It's one of the earliest songs on the album. I demoed it around 2014. The lyrics were rewritten for the album. It's a song about changing for the better, but being too late to escape the consequences of your past behaviour.

I really hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

I immediately trust you
It's just a shame I never grew
It's 'cause my heart is closed
This is the terrible thing I know

Now you'll never see
That you never knew me like I knew you
You let me in but I never let myself
This was a great talk about terrible things

Give us more mystery
Ask yourself how can this be
A grim continuum?
Where there is nothing to, nothing to learn
We go

This was a great talk about terrible things

When possessed by the mind of a villain
No wonder I could never find another way
With no self control but obsessed by the outcome
The people I've lost
But the feeling remains
Oh, and the shame

Now you'll never see
That you never knew me like I knew you
You let me in but I never let myself
This was a great talk about terrible things

Oh, here it comes
The punchline at the end of all our lives/lies
It's hilarious
How at the end of us
We destroy our own world
