[STATE OF SOUND] is a bimonthly feature focusing on artists of Facebook and Soundcloud followers < 10,000. It’s high quality  all wrapped into an emotional thematic. This time: when the person you need to save you is an ocean away and you’ve got to pull yourself up out of the darkness and make a home. To me South America was almost a home, but is also a state of mind that I call upon when I want to remember potential good, when someone believed in me.

I DIDN’T WRITE BACK
I COULDN’T SPEAK
I REALLY WONDER
WHAT’D HAVE HAPPENED
IF I’D COME, YOU’D NOT STAYED
I’M COMING HOME
TO SOUTH AMERICA

I SAY I’LL NEVER HURT YOU
HOLD ME IN THE WATER
I NEVER LET MY GUARD DOWN
BUT YOU MESSED ME UP
WHEN YOU CAME AROUND
WHEN THE HIGH WORE OFF
I KNOW YOU NEEDED SPACE

FEW THOUSAND MILES, AND AN OCEAN AWAY
BUT I SEE THE SUNRISE
OH JUST THE LIKE THE OTHER DAY
TELL MYSELF IT’S ALRIGHT
AS THE TEARS ROLL BY

I’VE SEEN THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES
IN A DISTANT PLACE
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

SO SAVE THAT HEART FOR ME
SOMETIMES THE DREAMERS WAKE UP
DON’T WAKE ME, I’M NOT DREAMING

HOPE
/FIN
