Spiritbox Lyrics

"Constance"

Dying sun burns in the night
I watch it glow and it's so hard for me
Speaking darkness out of spite
Coercion and then caving in
Wrap me in my bitterness

Give it up I'm complacent
Just enough to escape it
Heretics wouldn't faze me

Lucid trust I don't want it
Palms are rough when you promise
Fire lies when you're honest

It's hard to lose and wonder why

You pressure in increments
Like a slow moving coup
Memories dissident
When I am holding you

If my sun won't set tonight
I'll look around but it's so hard for me
Like a shadow passing by
Crashing into shapes and then
Fading with my innocence

Give it up I'm complacent
Just enough to escape it
Heretics wouldn't faze me

Lucid trust I don't want it
Palms are rough when you promise
Fire lies when you're honest

It's hard to lose and wonder why
I have been waiting my whole life

For pressure in increments
Like a slow moving coup
Memories dissident
When I am holding you

This song is named after Dylan Hryciuk's grandmother Constance. Hryciuk directed the video for the song which is also dedicated to vocalist Courtney LaPlante's grandmother Phyllis. LaPlante explained, "When 'Holy Roller' took off, we knew that we wanted to use the follow-up single as a statement to show that we are not just going to put out the same thing over and over. We wrote the music for this song at the same time as 'Blessed Be' and 'Rule Of Nines', but I hadn't ever committed to lyrics. I came to our director Dylan with a proposition: 'Let's create the music video and the lyrical content of the song at the same time.' We both felt compelled for the song and story to reflect the sorrow we both feel about our grandmothers passing away recently."

"Constance" is the first by Spiritbox since they signed to Rise Records.
