about

(Thank you to all of those in my life that endured the recording process of this track, for being there for song writing critique and listening to me spout unintelligible music shit)

We're super happy to present withdrawal's debut single 'Strokes'

lyrics

Awkwardly the strokes fell
Inexperienced attempts
To carve you from your shell

Wouldn't it be more common place to view
To merely observe
Rather than to
Influence, sculpt - review?

Dare I venture outward
Let my thumb somehow find the paper
To smudge the details I vehemently
Laboured to divine
To blur the form that held us captive

You're an image that won't focus
And I'll obsess over the details
Until it's fully grown
Then I can step back to present the whole
To myself
Maybe finally there will come clarity

Confidently now my strokes fall
I'm discerning an aura - crafting a spirit
A rougher, more human representation
Still clandestine shall my efforts remain

You're an image that wont focus
You're an image that wont focus
And I'll obsess over the details
Until it's fully grown
And I can step back to present the whole
To myself
