about

I wrote Heartquake during a period I suffered from panic attacks. Writing the song gave me the opportunity to give words to the destructive thoughts I was having and putting them into perspective. I hope the song will give solace to those having similar thoughts. You are not alone.

lyrics

Cover the silence, it isn’t easy for you to come forward
In all of your kindness, try to ignore that you live within borders
Noiseless staring at the dangerous, the dangerous

Boiling in winter, black hands of jealousy caught you in plain sight
Slipped through your fingers, feverishly taking in all of the wrong signs
Deafened healing with the poisonous, the poisonous
You’re letting go


I’m watching while you vanish in your heartquake
I’m leaning in to look upon the earth shake
Will you ever tell somebody
Will you ever tell somebody

Darkened by the shadows of a mistake
Your words became an echo of your soul ache
Will you ever speak about me let them know I am here

The stillness will get more oppressive if you let me
I’ll eagerly blow your house down
You and I share the same revery oh we
Wish to make an end to the sound

I’m quietly stealing the color out of your world
Then I’ll invite you in mine
You and I share the same revery oh we
Wish we could turn off the lights
You’re letting go


I’m watching while you vanish in your heartquake
I’m leaning in to look upon the earth shake
Will you ever tell somebody
Will you ever tell somebody

You’re falling in a loop while trying to negate
That I must be the essence of your soul ache
Will you ever speak about me tell me I am here
