about

Balancing the beautiful sparsity of solitude with the choking density of its woe, Sadness weaves delicate bliss into torturous melancholy in this compelling take on night-veiled loneliness and fragile deathkissed wishes for comfort.

Sadness will also be released on Haunted's upcoming EP - 'Under Stars And Waves' - due out this spring.

lyrics

I
I wish you were the wind caressing me
I wish you could hold me like my sadness

II
Earth feels so cold and dark
Blanketed ‘neath pale moonlight
or hanging like the stars

III
(These nights feel so alone…)
Hearing the rainfall and lamenting for you
To listen to your hushed breath instead of the emptiness

IV
Freezing solitude’s deathly lullaby
I wish there was someone to cover me in love

V
I wish you were the shroud of midnight cradling my bones
The shades of warm dusk, lilac mist, thick with comfort
I wish you were the ocean filling my lungs
Or the powdered hues of springtime spilt from cold horizons

VI
To hold you in sadness
and lie like we were dead
For hours till the loneliness drowns in us
I wish you were the wind caressing me
I wish you could hold me like my sadness
