New Album, “Dormant”, out September 1, 2023!
Pre-Order “Dormant” here: https://lnk.to/SILENTSKIES-Dormant
With “Churches,” we invite you to take a further step into the universe of Dormant. “Churches” showcases further shades of color and texture in our sonic palette that have developed during the last year and half of creation. As always, the subject of the lyrics is open to interpretation: but whether you view it as a love song between two parties, a dialogue with your inner self, or something else entirely, we welcome you to approach the idea of “Churches” in a metaphorical and poetic sense. We hope this song inspires introspection and encourages a quest for inner truth.
Filmed by Patric Ullaeus and Paul Moore

Close your eyes and remember
Do you see me there by your side?
Do you feel your heart beat the same as that time you first looked into my eyes?
Do you feel you can defend this?
Do you still feel alive?
Because I feel we’re just pretending
Pretending we’re just fine
And maybe I was hunting high and low
Maybe I was hurt but acted strong
And when we were drifting back and forth
Didn’t know I hurt you all along
Dark nights of September
It was me and my pride
I felt my heart change its ways
When you told me your first lie
When we reached our last December
I knew our time had run out
Cause when I looked myself in the mirror
I knew pretending was all I got
Maybe I was hunting high and low
Maybe I was hurt and acted strong
And when we were drifting back and forth
Didn’t know I hurt you all along
Maybe I was hunting high and low
Maybe I was drifting back and forth
Maybe I was all too high
And maybe you were all too low
I don’t believe in a forever
Because I’ve known things to change
I don’t believe in any heaven
Because the sky has an end
Maybe I was hunting high and low
Maybe I was hurt and acted strong
And when we were drifting back and forth
I didn’t know I hurt you all along
Maybe I was hunting high and low
Maybe I was drifting back and forth
Maybe I was all too high
And maybe you were all too low
I don’t believe there’s a forever
All that I’ve ever known has changed
I don’t believe there is a heaven
All my skies seem to end
