DESCRIPTION:
I wrote this song in Vancouver during a rough break up.

Instead - Words and Music by Derek Brans

What makes rain makes thunder
What makes love makes hunger
From a single seed
Grows the root, grows the leaf

What makes sound makes silence
What makes strength makes violence
And inside of you
A tree that almost grew

I am I am a savior and a damned
Your light your sleep your word I keep
I've kept like vengeance in my head
You go to sleep I die instead

What makes size makes smallness
What makes one makes all of us
Have you forsaken me?
Where is your heart to be found

I am I am a savior and a damned
Your light your sleep your word I keep
I've kept like vengeance in my head
You go to sleep I die instead

Instead of healing we run a bath of harm
Instead of smiling it's just a false alarm
