about

'Unsafe' is the first single from Gentle Party's upcoming sophomore album 'God Complex'.

With layers of lush strings and haunting vocals, Unsafe takes you from dream to waking nightmare. All at once the temperance of the Harp’s momentum and ticking clock ask a simple question, ‘Why?’

Three women walk through the seemingly normal routines of their lives revealing daily coping strategies. Whether it’s walking home alone from a late shift, navigating professional relationships or simply having a drink...
It can feel like we’re on the stand as our own defense. People believing survivors’ stories is important.

lyrics

May your crimes follow you
Hollow you
May you pay in solitude
Like I do
May you have no voice
But if you manage to
May no one take one word
Of yours as truth

Hear me now hear me loud
Suffer this curse as your own cloud
A couple of drops every day
And you still wonʼt know what itʼs like
‘cause youʼve never really felt the rain

Will you choke and cry
While perfect strangers bat their eyes
Will you wonder why
Oh why oh why, oh why did I
But of course you will
And I hope itʼs alright
That as I cast this spell
You cannot see or speak or fight

Hear me now hear me loud
Suffer this curse as your own cloud
A couple of drops every day
And you still wonʼt know what itʼs like
‘cause youʼve never really felt the rain

Hear me now hear me loud
Hear me now hear me loud
Hear me now hear me loud
Suffer this curse as your own cloud
Hear me now hear me loud
A couple of drops every day
Hear me now hear me loud
Suffer this curse as your own cloud
And you still wonʼt know what itʼs like
‘cause youʼve never really felt the rain
