lyrics

Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.

Verse 1
I'm feeling beaten;
I'm feeling caustic with the way
that I was always looking out for you,
and you acted like I wasn’t there.
You heard what I said,
but ignored all the warnings;
and now you have unrest,
I never wanted that.

Pre Chorus
With hindsight, a contrite mind
incessant, and sleep deprived
reminds us, our plans entwined
I tried to be a net for you,
but you wanted to hit the ground.

Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else.
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.

Verse 2
A pyrrhic odyssey,
distancing from the monotony.
In the same condition,
caused by absence of ambition.
Unaware of the consequence,
because you never had the confidence.
Threading neutrally,
to sustain an opportunity.

Pre Chorus
With hindsight, a contrite mind
incessant, and sleep deprived
reminds us, our plans entwined
I tried to be a net for you,
but you wanted to hit the ground.

Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else.
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.

Bridge
Something I'll never quite understand
Is how you refuse a helping hand.
You can never say I wasn't there for you
when you ignored me in the end.
All alone, in your comfort zone;
you took security for granted,
and the friends you claim to love were stepping stones.
I'm sorry…

about

Hechael Detroit, Michigan

As you’ve heard plenty of times before, we’re Hechael — pronounced ‘Heckle’. We’re nothing but two friends geographically scattered, coming together every few months to create art that imitates our lives, or whatever versa. Every ‘what if’ we’ve thrown into our conversations has lead to plans we couldn’t have anticipated — like starting this project as a whole.
