lyrics
FRAGILE
{ the witness }
The sun is crying, not shining no more
It feels like dying faster than before
The candle ain’t burning and won’t burn anymore
Is this why we’re living? How will we score?
A stab in the heart, i’ve got no more time
It was meant from the start that you would commit that crime
How can you be so cruel? How can you be yourself?
How can you decide the end of someone else’s life?
{ the victim }
SO INNOCENT… SO FRAGILE
I COULD HAVE BEEN A WOMAN BUT I DIED A CHILD
SO PURE… SO STRONG
I COULD HAVE BEEN A WOMAN BUT I DIED A CHILD
{ the guilty }
I made what I was meant to do
I’m sick of kids playin’round like fools
I have the power on my hands and I’ll use it once again
Let me bring you to pain, let me taste you - insane!
{ the witness }
Have you ever been a child? Were you born already old?
I’ll make justice by my hands. Another story untold.
Her body was a temple, her mind is now a prison
You’re low…the lowest of the low…a treason with no reason.
{ the victim }
SO INNOCENT… SO FRAGILE
I COULD HAVE BEEN A WOMAN BUT I DIED A CHILD
SO PURE… SO STRONG
I COULD HAVE BEEN A WOMAN BUT I DIED A CHILD
SO LONELY… SO DESPISED
SO FORGOTTEN… SO DENIED

Sticky-sweet hooks collide with glitter-coated, glammy guitars on the righteous, raucous new LP from this Auckland band. Bandcamp New & Notable May 21, 2023
