lyrics You came on scared I came on cold And we took a step Back Nothing happened and I stayed awake for nights Nothing happened and I wanted to say so much I got so hurt and tired and dead on the Inside We played it cool But all I wanted was To tear you Apart Nothing happened and I stayed awake for nights Nothing happened and I wanted to say so much I got so hurt and tired and dead on the Inside Nothing happened and I stayed awake for nights Nothing happened and I wanted to say so much I got so hurt and tired and dead on the Inside It was worse than I thought It was worse than I thought It was worse than I thought It was worse than I thought

about

*ALL SALES OF THESE SONGS ON BANDCAMP, UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2020, will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through their Virginia Beach Chapter.*

These two tracks are a continuation from the album The Purge produced in the Summer of 2017. The story so far has been "Carried Away," "Is He Alive," "Hurt You," and "Damaged If I Don't Broken If I Do."

There are nine songs on this "lost album" in total. When all of the songs have been released, there will be a remastering of the old tracks before an album release.

The Purge has recently associated with their local chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and will be donating all proceeds earned from this release until the end of the year to the AFSP. Remember that sometimes there’s a lot to say, we are social animals, and, if you are feeling overwhelmed with life or feel like there is no one who will listen, there are people who want to hear from you and you are not alone.

This album moved me to tears when I first heard it. Happy to say that I've become friends with this artist and Ms. Leventhal is as kind and insightful in person as her music might have you believe. The Purge
