| Lyrics: | You are not my protector You threw me to the wolves Turned your head while I faced the evil I lost my red hood for good Now you want me to have pity For the bed that you have made It gets so cold at night Without the cover of innocence I’ve got a rage inside (x3) And it started with a lie You think that you’re a victim You’ll make sure that I know Count the ways that you’ve been mistreated You’ll take the shame, but not the blame This white heat purifies me It makes it clear to see I can’t rescue you from drowning ‘Cause you’re anchored by the weight of your negativity Chorus Written by Dave Tough, Elle Bijet, Chris Ray |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
