about

As the second single and title track of the record. 'hidden in plain sight (walked away)" summarizes and explores many of the themes of loss, growing up and moving past destructive behaviors and pressure of substance abuse and addiction. This theme and sound is central to the record with tinges of grunge and post-punk

lyrics

these days
fucked up
no sleep
not now
you tip-toe
around
the truth
you don’t make a sound

these days you show me inside
were your skeletons lie
behind the doors of your closet
you say that, “all this will change."

I’ll change
I’ll change

so I walk away
oh what did you say?
a promise you gave
I’d take to my grave

like flies
they swarm
this shit
to their demise
the same
refrain
they’ll get your back
on some other day

can’t put a dog in the fight
if he just don’t see
that a threat is in sight
you fed him a pill
it’s trick as treat
and the loneliest boys
always come back

to feed
to feed

so I walk away
oh what did you say?
the promise you gave
I take to my grave
despite all I’d do
can’t take the
pain away from you
you cry and you cry
I know when it’s just a lie

here’s our slouch
laid out on the couch
hidden in plain sight
can’t talk about what
you did that night
here’s to the slouch
accused of takin’ the pouch
but it was
hidden in plain sight
can’t stand
to see your friends fight

when I walk away
don’t beg me to stay

oh what did you say?
the fuck did you say?
the promise you gave
I take to my grave
the promise you break
I’ll never mistake
so I walk away
yeah I walk away
