SAFETY is the latest single from Australian progressive metal band, Reliqa, featuring Sean Harmanis of Make Them Suffer. Available now: Taken from the forthcoming EP, 'I Don't Know What I Am', available everywhere September 16th, 2022. Music Video by Colin Jeffs (Ten of Swords Media) Produced by Chris Blancato Find Reliqa everywhere: @reliqaband ––– More hours pass - I’m listening for the other side A steady rhythm, I hear it from the bottom of the river tonight No expectations, no delusions, no pride With nothing left to lose I think I’m learning what it feels like To question (No hesitation with the answers) To live, to learn, to find (Or to turn your back to death and never know?) I’ve found my fear, it lives under a microscope Not the beast I thought I knew but quiet, clever, fuelled on hope I’ve seen the devil and they don’t believe me With every move I make it’s harder to see Round and round it goes “Just once more and then I promise you can go” Peeling stickers off of plastic bottles and covering my eyes (‘Cause one more second of this shit will send me blind) Maybe somewhere I’ve never been They’d let me fill up my lungs with fire ‘Cause I’ve broke my inhibition, I’m over the decisions Won’t you take me to walk the wire? I have found my body, found my soul but it’s not me Got me thinking I’m better off sippin’ on medicine instead of coffee What kinda warning label, safety first, pin cushion, experimentation, hyperfixating, panic button brain have I created?! Running through a hall of mirrors just to find new identity Spinnin’ round in circles - flip a coin to decide on a paranoia this week I’ve seen the devil and they don’t believe me With every move I make it’s harder to see Round and round it goes “Just once more and then I promise you can go” Peeling stickers off of plastic bottles and covering my eyes (‘Cause one more second of this shit will send me blind!) Maybe somewhere I’ve never been They’d let me fill up my lungs with fire ‘Cause I’ve broke my inhibition, I’m over the decisions Won’t you take me to walk the wire? Oh, Mother, can you hear me when I say That I’m afraid to die, but less than I’m afraid to stay The “someone” I could be is fuckin’ waiting in a shell But if I crack it I could break and I’d be in a worse hell To be afraid of my own shadow Is worse than any fate that I could run from Counting back slow Closest thing to stopping time I’ll ever know A fleeting high that sends me lower even still So still I’ll sit, until I’m nothing but an afterglow Maybe somewhere I’ve never been They’d let me fill up my lungs with fire ‘Cause I’ve broke my inhibition, I’m all out of decisions Won’t you take me to walk the wire? Yeah, take me to my resting place And let me dance on the grave all night I thought I’d live forever if I wore a warning sign ––– #Reliqa #Safety #MusicVideo #MakeThemSuffer
