Foxing - Won't Drown

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Mouth open
For rain pinching
Your nose pinching
To wake yourself from hell
But your knees are
Glued to the floor
Anchored in fear
Roots in the wolves that spilt their
Life into you
Nativity of the botched pact boon
Screaming at your shoes
Cemented and accused
But they don't want you to know that

{Chorus 1}
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

{Verse 2}
Mouth open
For days
Waiting for rain
Screaming to wake yourself from hell
But the sleep
So deep that it's real
Your punches so weak
They miss when they land
And so you give
Until all that's left
Are desperate cries
That fall on the deaf
But if you feel love
The hot molten trust
Rise up and wipe
That sleep from your eyes
And

{Chorus 2}
Hold back your tears
Wax the pain
Pressure on the wound
If you fall
Caught like trout see that
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

And hold back the blood
Flowing through your nose
Pressure on the wound
If you fall
Caught like trout see that
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

{Chorus 1}
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

{Instrumental bridge}

{Chorus 2}
Hold back your tears
Wax the pain
Pressure on the wound
If you fall
Caught like trout see that
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

And hold back the blood
Flowing through your nose
Pressure on the wound
If you fall
Caught like trout see that
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

{Chorus 1}
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running
Bravery won't drown
So you keep the water running

Biography

edit bio

Foxing is an eminent presence in the indie music scene, hailing from St. Louis, Missouri. Often veering into alternative and math-rock territories, the band has uniquely characterized their sound as "post-good." The ensemble consists of the talented musicians Conor Murphy, Josh Coll, Ricky Sampson, Jon Hellwig, and Eric Hudson. Although in December 2017, fans felt a poignant shift when founding member and bass guitarist Josh Coll parted ways with the band to delve into the realm of filmmaking.

The band's journey in the music world began to take shape in 2012 with the release of an EP entitled "Old Songs." Demonstrating their collaborative spirit, Foxing expanded their discography in 2013 with two split EPs. One was a creative intertwinement with Japanese Breakfast, a solo musical project of Michelle Zauner, and the other was in conjunction with Send Away Stranger, carving out a unique sound space in the indie music tapestry.

November 12, 2013, marked a significant milestone for Foxing with the release of their first full-length album, "The Albatross," which solidified their place in the indie music world. Continuing their musical expedition, "Dealer," their second record, graced the ears of their eager audience on October 30, 2015. Foxing continued to evolve and challenge the bounds of their genre with their third record, "Nearer My God," which was unveiled on August 10, 2018.

Each record unfolds a new chapter in Foxing's artistic saga, drawing listeners into intimate lyrical narratives and complex soundscapes. With each strum, beat, and melody, Foxing pens their biography, defined by poignant exits, prodigious collaborations, and a relentless pursuit to create music that resonates beyond the conventional limits of genre labels.
