It\u2019s about all the things you don\u2019t say, and how heavy that becomes over time. Writing it made me realise how painful silence can be, and how easy it is to hide behind a smile instead of letting people see what\u2019s really going on. At the same time, it reminded me not to take everything so seriously, sometimes it\u2019s the small stuff you bottle up that ends up feeling way bigger than it ever needed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the music video above, stream the new single here, and keep track of the band here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zox-post-body left zoxrel zox100\"><strong>Want More Metal?
