Lyrics:
Once more you try to blame me
And you can’t undo how you made me
Our blood does not define us
Cause you choose only to deny us

Maybe I pulled us under
Drowning in all my fear
But maybe you made this monster
And it looks too much like a mirror

Do you regret it
Cause I can’t forget it

Repent, get on your knees and beg
Somewhere in there, you remember
You know what you did
Repent, get on your knees and beg

You said you tried to love me
Well your love has battered and scarred me

Maybe I pulled us under
Drowning in all my fear
But maybe you made this monster
And it looks too much like a mirror

Do you regret it
Cause I can’t forget it

Repent, get on your knees and beg
Somewhere in there, you remember
You know what you did
Repent, get on your knees and beg

And the worst part is (worst part is)
I forgive (I forgive)
Say it’s fine (Say it’s fine)
But not this time (oh)

Do you regret it?
Why?

Repent, get on your knees and beg
Somewhere in there, you remember
You know what you did
Repent, get on your knees and beg

[Halocene]

My mom is a survivor of sexual, physical, and mental abuse. She was molested by various family members as a child, and was called a liar when trying to speak up about it. I wrote "Repent" for her, and for others out there who have experienced abuse. I hope that this song gives you some kind of comfort in knowing you are not alone. #WeBelieveYou

[jamestorres]

Oh my God . My father was a horrible man . 20 plus yrs after he passed away he had power over me . I remember everything to the T . This hit home big time and until we were old enough to defend ourselves and our mother he never laid a hand on us again but still abused us mentally n spiritually . I know it's over but still . Every day I'm healing and taking the power back .

[bulldogbhd]

As the Husband of a survivor i thank you and your Mom for having the guts to share the Truth behind the song

[laurenbabic]

such a powerful chorus. chilling video. <3 love you

[MARISALA-SS]

I'm crying. My father was abusive in many ways so I had to leave the nest before I was ready to, and now I fear for my mum everyday she's still there - because she lies to protect him and tries to brush it under the rug. This song Addie, so powerful. Kudos to the actors and director who captured living this hell so accurately.

[alucardian]

As a male victim of sexual, physical and emotional violence throughout his life, it's a damned good song already without the context which only adds gravity to the power of the vocal lyric. Remarkable talent, remarkable stories all around. You're not alone, you're not twisted or damaged goods, your demons become chains that drag you down. Release yourself through whatever method you feel is right as long as the cycle of abuse ends with yourself. I refuse to become a link in someone else's chains, mine weigh heavily enough on my soul as is.

[cheylahagensen]

This song is so powerful and resonates so strongly with me, and I don’t think I’m the only one. This is my new favorite Halocene original. Excellent work guys!

[EhrineAshbark]

I'm not sure I have the right words to describe how hard this hits home. That echoing fade of the scream at the end just makes it hit home all the harder.

[VersaFilms]

It was an honour creating this video and telling this story with you guys. ❤

[WinterRose]

It doesn't matter how many times I listen to this song: I still feel the overwhelming need to cry. The lyrics in this song...they definitely hit home. I was raped at 18 and even now at age 33, I still have majority of it blacked out. I'm so sorry about what happened to your mom, Addie. <3 Thank you for putting this song out there!

[NeganMOX]

this song is great. it also reminded me of something that happened a long time ago. I had a very abusive ex, who thought violence was a way to express love for someone and she broke the very fabric of me. to this day I still feel those effects. but what hit the hardest was "and the worst part is I forgive, say its fine" as that was exactly how I felt at the time, that it was normal for a relationship to be like that. this is a very powerful song and between this & the mirror I feel very connected to these songs.

[SkarletKelly]

This gave me chills and goosebumps. People forget these days that music is about storytelling and expressing emotions. They just make stupid, meaningless songs that you forget in a few days. This song is amazing, the message is amazing, the vocals from Addie and Brad are amazing. Well done guys👏🏼

[karleabramow]

This song draws so many emotions, I grew up with abuse, my parents refuse to acknowledge it. I feel power and anger from this song. After 27 years I finally stood up for myself and my world shattered (not in a bad way) now I'm slowly rebuilding that world brick by brick. I've learned what family really is, I've learned strength and bravery. I love this song

[katrinapaton]

Reading Addie's story about her mum had me in tears. I wish it didn't strike so close to home, especially how she was considered to be the one in the wrong. Absolutely gorgious song, so strong, and a video to match. You knocked it out of the park with this one guys and I appreciate that so much.

[zachmiller]

I went through that exact situation as a young boy. One of the hardest decisions A child should never have to make is one to defend his siblings and mom from their father. I was maybe middle school age. It’s the reason I chose to do what I do today. There will always be a piece of me lost in the chaos of the worst night of my life. If I can save someone from not loosing a piece of them on theirs then I accomplish the mission

[nova]

God damn addies voice is so good. And Brad's screams just mix in really well. I'm glad he does some of the vocals as well because his voice fits really well with hers, ultimate goals.

[brentwesley]

My mother survived 27 years of abuse at the hands of my father Unit she finally found the strength to stand up and left. I watched on a s kid and young man like in this video regretting not standing up to him. Than you for making this video. You have show sides to abuse that people don't realise. Not to mention this is an amazing song and video in's own right. There is a reason why Halocene is my number 1 artist on spotify,

[CakeMaybe]

I really like the story in this one. How it shows punishment by law instead of by vengeance. Feels good to be reminded you don't *need* to become a monster to stop one.

[tchninja_official]

When a song hits you, it hits hard. Reminds me of my childhood. So glad I broke the cycle and am not repeating what my dad did to my mom, brothers and myself. Alcoholism and physical abuse are no joke when you've witnessed and experienced it first hand. I made it my goal in life to be a better influence to my kids. I'm proud of where I am today. The scars are there to remind us how far we've come.

[neilvarma]

For all the women and men who’ve been abused 🙏
