about

The first track collaboration between Philip and Dana, born out of our love of music. Every love every relationship that is real starts because of that feeling of finding and hoping to hold on to something special. It's too easy to find ourselves taking for granted the amazing things and people that surround us focusing on the negative. This song is a meditation on those feelings and how they can turn what is so sweet, so incredible what and so precious into something venomous.

lyrics

Just when you had given up
that's when she comes
The pearl hidden in the sea
Hesitate and it's too late
to reach for what is undeserved

Moving on so why go back to more of the same
Old pipe dreams down this gutter drain
You're still nothing good for me
but some heartache some loneliness some promises that I know you won't keep
So why do I believe

Wasted time like it was never ending
Lived your life like it was all a game
You let this moment pass you by
You let this fire lose its flame
you want the pleasure not the pain you
You're the one that's left to blame,
You don't know what it's like to dream
You never look beyond what's seen
to the pearl hidden in the sea

You are the honey jar smashed in front of me
You taste so sweet, but you're causing me to bleed.
