about

A grandiose, heavy as hell head banger of a collaboration between myself, Molly Daisy on bestial, scorching vocals and Alyson Montez on beautiful, haunting violins.

Features various guest epic choir by Melody Schoenfeld, Monica Farris and Emma Michaelsen, drummer-nator Aren Hacobian, grand synth by Nick Viola, and imperial bass by Brett Thomas.

lyrics

FRIGID HEART, HATE WRAPPED IN LATEX
WHITE KNUCKLE GRIPPING TO FLESH & BONE
BLIND SPIRAL IN THE DUST OF THE WRECKAGE
DENY THE TRUTH OF WHAT YOU’VE BECOME
YOU REAR YOUR SECOND HEAD
FIX ITS GAZE ON YOUR LIVING HELL
TURN YOUR BACK TO A TRAIL OF DEAD
A CLARITY MADE WILLINGLY DEAF

HAVE YOU NOT HEARD A GODDAMN WORD I’VE SAID?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK INTO YOUR HEAD?
HAVE YOU NOT HEARD A GODDAMN WORD?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?

POUNDING
TONGUE LIKE A NOOSE
MOUTH LIKE A HAMMER

YOUR DEVIL’S CAPE IS THE CLOAK OF A COWARD
RED FLAG DRAPING DOWN YOUR BACK
FRAUDULENT, SELF HATING & SOUR
POOR YOU, SELF CRIPPLING HACK

WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK INTO YOUR HEAD?
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
POUNDING
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
POUNDING
WHAT’S IT GONNA TAKE TO BREAK?
POUNDING
A CLARITY MADE WILLINGLY DEAF

HAVE YOU NOT HEARD A GODDAMN WORD I’VE SAID?
