about

This is our first new release since 2017. The years since then have been tough for everyone - for different reasons. It's easy to feel numb to it all. This song is a letter to everyone who needs a reminder to keep on living for yourself and to keep fighting for love... whatever it takes.

If you're still with us after all of these years, this song is for you.

lyrics

What's left to say
We've had this conversation a million ways
I'm stepping out of the fray
I need to catch my breath and walk away
Tonight, I tell myself the same old lie
That everything will be just fine
That I still could feel alive, alive, alive

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)

No one's to blame
What can you do when the passion fades to gray
If we can't reignite the flame
I need to find a way to set fire, set fire

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
(Tonight)
(Tonight)

I try to fill the empty space
So tight the floorboards collapse under the weight
(Tonight)
I tell myself the same old lie
Everything will be just fine
(Tonight)
I tell myself the same old lie
That I still could feel alive

So I'm gonna go chase that high
Embracing all my demons just to find it
Even if it takes all night
'Cuz time keeps moving
But nothing seems to change
In my life
And I've been numb so long
I just can't go on
But I have to try
I'll do whatever it takes just to feel something
Tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
Just to feel something tonight
(Tonight)
(Tonight)
