Obsidian Swing – “The One Who Stayed”
One of the most emotional songs from our upcoming acoustic album.
It’s a quiet reflection on love, loss, and the moments we never really leave behind.
Let the words sit with you - and if they echo something you've felt too, we're glad it found you.
All future tracks from this record will be posted in our TikTok with full lyrics.

____Verse 1____
What do you see when you think of me?
That fight we had on the balcony?
The night you left without a sound -
And I stayed there, breaking down.
____Verse 2____
What do you feel when you think of "us"?
A paper love that turned to dust?
Did I hold tight when I should’ve let go,
Or were we lost before we knew how to grow?
____Chorus____
You slipped beneath my skin so deep,
A quiet wound I couldn’t keep.
You're the ache I’ve never lost,
The breath I hold, whatever the cost.
____Verse 3____
What do you feel when you think of him?
Does he calm the storms you kept within?
Was I the noise you tried to drown -
Or a home you couldn’t settle down?
____Verse 4____
What do you see when you dream of home?
Do I still haunt it on my own?
I know you never learned to stay -
But I sleep where we broke that day.
____Chorus____
You slipped beneath my skin so deep,
A quiet wound I couldn’t keep.
You're the ache I’ve never lost,
The breath I hold, whatever the cost.more
