“Contorted in the Faille” is the fourth track on Knocked Loose’s EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021).
The track highlights the narrator’s descent into madness, as he hears the agonic voice of his partner who has passed away. Eventually, he becomes convinced that he needs to dig up her corpse so...
(Abandoned by light)
(Swaying beneath the veil)
(Beyond the doubt of remission)
(Contorted in the faille)
Whispering sweet nothings
Beneath a daze, mind consumed
Pulling me, your infectious hum
Asleep at the foot of your tomb
Dust settles on a broken frame
Inside our house, I haven't touched a thing
Focused on corners where lights now fade
Watching shadows float on broken wings
Sirens pull me to you
Ringing through my ears
Months have passed but the winter stays
Cold embraced by fear
Poison trails down my throat like gasoline
Plants deep in my blood like roots
Sets fire to my memory
Burns all
Left destitute
I rot
Figures dancing in the blur
(Seeing doubles, I focus in)
(Feel the warm embrace of skin)
(Twist tongues, feel you in my throat)
(Collapse in the bed)
Held by your ghost
Caged by the thought of devotion
Solidified by the touch of death
In the dawn, I hear you crooning
Could this all be in my head?
Whispering sweet nothings
Beneath a daze, mind consumed
Pulling me, your infectious hum
Awaken at the foot of your tomb
Now all that is left
Is to remove the weight of the earth
Now all that is left
Is to remove the dirt that holds your ghost
I am with you now
