about

what is it worth to you?

selfless and scared

can we grow out of it? or are we destined to continue until there's nothing left?

lyrics

Battlefield

I’m sorry, but I have to go
I know that you’re scared
Would it help you if I told you that I was scared too
But you know that it’s necessary
To check out the view
I just hope that you’ll miss me as much as I know I’ll miss you

And I’m coming home on my shield
Carry me home from the battlefield
There wasn’t a war that needed to be won
There wasn’t a war, but still I’m gone

I’m restless, but I don’t know why
Maybe I should
But a million miles seems like a long way to go just to die
Maybe I’ll be a martyr
A cause to revere
While you’re left with the rest of the voiceless ones living in fear

And I’m coming home on my shield
Carry me home from the battlefield
There wasn’t a war that needed to be won
There wasn’t a war, but still I’m gone

And I knew
What I’d signed up for
From day one
I didn’t ask you to come, but you came
If you’d asked me to stay, I’d have stayed
And I know it’s a little to late just to say
That I’m sorry it ended this way

Don’t panic, it won’t get you far
And I’ve got a feeling
By the time you’ve forgotten my face you’ll be ready to start
Start a new story
With somebody new
Well, the last time I left you swore to me that’s what you’d do

And now I’ve come home like a meteor storm
And there’s nothing much left for my family to mourn
There might be a war and I fear for those left
There’s gonna be war, in whose interests

Gorman image

Gorman Glasgow, UK

Dark moods with soaring vocals - fierce but fragile, harrowing but hopeful. From solitary piano and voice with delay-laden textures to sizzling guitars with anthemic hooks, Gorman are the long, silent fall through darkness AND the fiery, reverberating impact at the end. ... more
