Permanent Scar
I wrote this song as part of a secret album in early 2024 that was put up as an incentive for donators during our annual fundraising event Chasing Butterflies: Fight Against Cancer.
We released it to the world in 2025 and it's hosted some of our fanbase's favourite tracks so far.
This specific song is one called Permanent Scar a song that doesn't hold back on using the words we cower from when talking about Mental Health.
If you need Mental Health support please check out CALM an incredible charity in the UK: https://www.thecalmzone.netmore
