lyrics

1: loving mother, we've rooted ourselves in the shallowest of soil only to be dug up and hollowed out again. with branches running thinner towards their brittle ends, these rotten leaves will fall even further; spreading a mile, a thousand acres from where we are standing. "we'll salt the earth with what's left of us!", i cried out. "it's only a matter of time, son. i'll have to leave you soon; but not until you grow up and until i see you bloom. i don't want you to miss me and i don't want you to be scared, just look into your heart and i will always be there.", you said.

i am the son and you have sunken for i am the sun and you are the sunset. for every breath you've left me with, i'll send forth a hundred thousand heartbeats; into a tomorrow without fear for we're rooted, not in soil but in these moments. we're rooted to each other; we're rooted in our time.

2: the warm comfort of your nurturing hands reassures me, as a seed planted to the ground, gently raised up by the earth’s perpetual fecundity. pouring down on a dry spell like the sky opening its coffers, satiating an existential drought. and you satiate me.

about

Caitlyn Bailey

The band came together in the first quarter of 2007 (until 2011) with hopes of bringing something new to the Davao City music scene both musically and ideologically in the spirit of mid-90s and early 00s emotive hardcore.
