about

The building across the alley from my bedroom window was spitting flames as people down below screamed and hurled rocks to wake up the people who were still sleeping inside. It was the middle of the night. I wasn't sure if the heat I felt was from the tongues of violence or the summer heat.

lyrics

AFTER THE WAR
Song & lyrics: Vina Nguyen (May 26, 2019)


The burning room now
gutted black and you
said you were
holding back, and we saw the

flames that
whipped the
sky,
tongues of violence holding lies.

Was it just the
alcohol, the
broken mirrors and
empty malls, or the

afternoon
nightmares
after the war that
left you quiet and small?

Meet broody trip-hop x contemporary pop.
