LYRICS:

Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers
Take a number where the blood just barely dried

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go

Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning
Acclimatize but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot
Take a number Jackie
Where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
You gotta be stronger than the story
Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
This feeling wont go

And the sky is full of dreams
But you don't know how to fly
I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Something better
This feeling won't go
Wait for it...

I love the way you showcase Anathema's determination, so visible starting with the first clip of her barreling ahead on her bike. The song is a great choice, all around a really enjoyable vid!

Thank you so much! She's just so unapologetically herself, it's delightful.

Aaaaah this is GREAT! I love how well you show both Anathama's steely resolve and competence, and also her vulnerability. 'You gotta be stronger than the story' is such a good line for her. I love the crossfade between the fire and Agnes' smile at the end :)

Thank you! That lyric was what made me decide to make an Anathema vid, it was inevitable.
