about

Cold Shoulder is dark and moody song that weaves together two contrasting sonic textures: mystical, dreamy guitars and ethereal vocals transition into explosive distortion and guttural screams that reflect the tension of love and loss in a pandemic era romance.

lyrics

It was the end of the summer and you,
You were a bad idea
Your daddy's light started flickering out
All I wanted was to heal

Then you called and I opened up
Haven't felt this way in years
Being alone started getting old
But the loss swallowed your heart whole

Now my shoulders are freezing
You're not making it out
I'm stoned on the couch
Exposed, my skin's so fucking hungry
Just wanted one night
To step back in to my old life

It was the dawn of the winter
You borrowed your sister's car
Your face is more worn than I remember
But your eyes and mouth set me on fire

Now my shoulders are trembling
Hearts pound while we make out
Unraveled on the couch
My skin, your lips they are devouring
There's only tonight
You're touching me back to life

My skin, so hungry
Your lips devour me
Devour me

Ooh, you taste like smoke
This time
My feeble lungs can't get enough
I breathe you in
And you, you spit me out
(You spit me out)
