KEY - Blacktide

BLACKTIDE — KEY From the album LIVES. He gave her a key with no conditions. Then quietly began to hope she would stay. Her freedom never promised to lead back to him. An emotional alternative metal reflection on refuge, unspoken expectations and learning to let go. Someone offers shelter to a woman escaping abuse, then mistakes her recovery for a future together. KEY follows the painful realization that helping someone leave does not make you the home they must choose. Read the lyrics booklet: https://www.calameo.com/read/00831655...
