about

The 5th of 5 releases from the Rooz & Gun Factory sessions, this track was the first written and final to be unleashed. Like a mood swing, it delves into the lightest indie and heaviest rock influences of Desert Dusk. An indie melody dances around the swaggering heavy rock, as if Primal Scream and Muse made the incredibly unlikely step of forming a desert rock band. Which is why we made it instead.

lyrics

OPEN UP

Got to / If you open up
If you fill your cup
When you let them in
Then you get the love

When / If you open up
If you feel your gut
When you lift the lid
Then you get the love

The way that you wanted
Where no one holds out
And no one knows how
But it's a shame when your fear shouts down

I won't fall now
I won't fall now

Will you open up
If you fill your cup
When you let them in
Then you get the love

Got to / If you open up
If you can feel your blood
When the moment comes
Then you get the love

It’s there if you want it
Get up and reach out
Leave nothing toned down
So it’s a shame, they’re waiting for the gun, they’re just waiting for the gun

I won't fall now
I won't fall now
