This is a quite different kindof song for me - I laid down a type of beat I wouldn't usually do, and have tried to blend together layers of vocals that build and increase throughout the song - in a way that is supposed to represent an angry mob gathering in strength and number. Would be interesting to get views on if those elements are working for you and if its coming across as intended.
Lyrics-wise this is some sensitive subject matter; I hope nobody takes offence.
These pressures were building, containing the tide
Wearing our shame like a cloak we did hide
You gave us each day daily indecency
Carved in stone, unholy imagery
In our hearts, in our minds
Innocence left behind
All your disciples were holding their piece
Rinsing their hands as theyre turning their cheeks
Did you scour your stain so the world wouldn’t see?
Nothing wipes this graven imagery
From our hearts, from our minds
Broken and left behind
Did you hide your confessions, and think we would never reveal?
Did you really think no one would speak of your trespasses, now bow your heads and kneel
Your foundation is crumbling, rot from within
Big secrets too small to hide all of your sin
Now we’re casting our stones, it’s your turn to endure
This shame wasn’t ours to wear, always been yours
Frees our hearts frees our minds
Healing, past left behind
