about

My partner Dallas de Brabander wrote a poem from a dark place. Years later she made a tune for it. The same process was applied to a much more upbeat song called Hold On which acts as the antidote to this one.

lyrics

My ship's run aground, to dark depths it's sliding
Emerging never, I'm not around
Forget me now, the way is winding
Secret and clever, I'll not be found

Darkness is near, silence will follow
You won't hear from me, I've gone to ground
My way is clear, farewell is hollow
Leave me here, I've gone to ground

Discovering how to stay in hiding
For now and forever I make no sound
Mutely I bow, my sacrifice is binding
To lonely endeavour. Cross on the mound

I'm solitude bound, our destinies dividing
All ties I sever, all search confound
I'll never allow my wilful deciding
To change what must ever in sorrow be drowned

Believe me dear, I've gone to ground
