From the recording SPIRAL
𝐈𝐈𝐈/𝐈𝐈𝐈 - 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃
Taken from “SPIRAL”, a 3-part concept album that expresses the vicious/virtuous cycle (Spiral?) of relationships and our search for companionship.
After our indulgences on the Playground we realize that too much fun always leads to someone crying. The mirrors start to fade, revealing our true selves (and our intentions). Our commitment is put to the test as we enter a phase of conflict and challenge filled with dashed hopes, resentment and new realizations. “BATTLEGROUND” tells this part of the story.
Lyrics
Ain’t it funny now
feel the need to feel you, only anyhow
heading off to meet your eyes
world keeps slowly turning
now I’m falling down
but I’m on my feet
in a filthy backstreet
hear me calling
ever evolving
You’re right
(Battleground)
There you go again
found a secret tunnel to the other side
deadly fire in your eyes
keep this sorry world turn like a hurricane
guess you will decide
stay on the wild side
hear me calling?
and see me crawling?
You find me on the other side
I’m on the ground
I feel you breathing down my neck
I made a mess
I feel you clawing at my eyes
I’m breaking
This is a battleground
now it’s just us around
is this the time for us?
is this what you call trust?
think I’ll leave
(Battleground)
Ain’t it funny how
feel the need to see you, only god-knows-how
off again to meet your eyes
world keeps turning, turning, I’m not falling down
stand here, head held high
look up at the night sky
hear me calling
ever evolving
I’m right
(Battleground)
I find you on the other side
you’re on the ground
you feel me breathing down your neck
we made a mess
you feel me clawing at your eyes
Your broken
this is my battleground
now it’s just us around
is this the time for us?
is this what you call trust?
think I’ll leave
You’re better on your own
We’re not each other’s home
Just let it turn to stone
Awake, I’ll rise again
Just need a moment to mend
I’ll fight until there’s nothing left
(Battleground)
