'The Destroyer' is from a soundtrack created for the launch of the final installment of the 'Obernewtyn chronicles' by Isobelle Carmody. Each song was created based on the ideas, themes, characters and relationships within the series. 

I enjoyed creating this soundtrack so much, because the ideas explored within the series are so rich. It was often hard to sit down and try to focus on just one, when interesting concepts kept relentlessly flinging themselves at me from their pages.

🌼 lyrics: 

I'm a lifeline cutter
dropped a past in the gutter
when it rains and washes it away into the storm drain
silent trails, pains
pounding in my veins
the painted faces of the sewage
her den is meticulous, her desk is empty 
save for draws of stolen pens 

nothing lost is ever quite remembered right 
the water fades and bleeds his drawings out of the picture
and maybe it's missing a limb or two
an arm drops off on the way to the supermarket
hair falls down between seconds

and hey maybe I'm even half convinced that it's not my fault
that it's not my fault
but bearing it alone is the only virtue I know I can uphold 
cause all it requires is me to shut up and fold
shut up and fold

and maybe it's missing a limb or two
an arm drops off on the way to the supermarket
hair falls down between seconds

threes and twos are all I hold
I'm no card counter 
I just accept the dice I've rolled
forget the glint of gold
I'm no card counter 

I'm a lifeline cutter
when it comes to it I stutter
tremors down my soul ohhh
tremors down my soul for what I do 
for what I do

Lifeline Cutter

🌼 lyrics:

If I'd only done it

If I'd only done it three years ago
I'd be a better person now
If I'd only done it 
If I'd only done it 
If I'd only

if you sit here watching me
You're gonna see someone you don't wanna see

If I were you the way I'm me 
I'd bite down on that wire in my mouth and be shocked I'm not dizzied by your champagne thoughts and tv minutes 
Ohhh

I'd scream and echo through the empty lots
The empty days
The empty way you  
speak to me and look at me 

But if I'd only done it 
If I'd only done it
If I'd only  
But if I'd only done it 
If I'd only done it

If I were you the way I'm me 
I'd bite down on that wire in my mouth

Erase this time 
between this breath and the next
Erase this time
Between your breath and mine
Between your breath and mine    
I wanna undo you, cut into you 
I wanna leave only the exceptional inside 
Only the exceptional inside

If I'd only

Waiting for friends

🌼 lyrics:

As violent as the air we breathe
It's the fire you seek
To light the words you draw from this sheath

Wrenched into reality
I was a women of lead and charcoal
Lead down a dark road
Yellow feathers stained by the sallow dole, dole

As violent as the air we breathe
As the alter at which we kneel to believe
to deceive
to deceive
deceive

Violent as the air

Dim Side

waiting for the sunrise
it's more on the dim side inside 
megalith standing
Mnemosyne bending, dancing
in and out of the shadows 
see the light and the truth I've allowed 

I'm so sorry to obfuscate, obfuscate
and plant mistrust in the the alluvium 
in the the alluvium
in the the alluvium

heirloom in a heavy frame, 
the painted simulacrum

can I drink you like the diamond sky? 
reify this music in my thoughts
I feel bliss and verisimilitude in this movement away
away

turbid waters 
the simoom comes to visit her in her quarters 

grey shapes milling silently past the carriage 
bearing Cassandra's curse
one sits next to me
she tells me stories
just true words spoken backwards
true words spoken backwards

this sublunary temple is where I seek the path under the silver light
between sharp teeth 
there is the pale trail 
there awaits the bloodied grail 
drinking from the blood well
if you lift your mask out here
I swear I won't tell no one
no one
no one

out here in the green
in the ancient cell where I've always been
where I've always been

it's more on the dim side
more on the dim side
inside

Dim Side

🌼 Lyrics:

Lay in a dark room for several days
Until you shook me awake
And in the air soft music hung
And I could almost believe 
Nothing was at stake
Nothing was at stake

But on the bed side table a gun
And to your side an angel clung
Unlace my thoughts 
And pry open my back
Is there an ocean in there
Thundering and spilling from me 
to consume what I lack 
Spilling from me
Spilling from the cracks

I’m anxious to be someone
and desperate to be no one
I’d like to be the equation between the small and the immense 
But I’d for it to make even less sense
Even less sense
But it’s summer time when we laugh together 
and it’s winter time when I come to my end
So things are often more black and white than ever than ever
And the grey a back drop on which they depend

In a dark room

🌼 Lyrics:

I cried last night into my pillow
I know it’s not the same
I close my door so you wouldn’t know
but I was begging him to make me better

cause when the engine catches fire
we all believe in someone higher 

but I’ll read all the books
and hope for an answer
note down a challenge in the margin
hope for an answer again
seems there’s a different type of cancer every week
in the ground beneath our feet
I’ll board the plane to anywhere but here
I’ll watch the clouds rush past me
and this country disappear
I’ll be in New York 
I’ll walk away from the shame

I’ll meet destiny walking fast
I’ll walk right past
and Lana’s been my saviour 
when night closes in
her voice a perfect sin
my defences wearing thin
wearing thin
my defences wearing thin
wearing thin

I don’t know how to write about it
never felt right with the people I know
just the people in my head
and the things they said to me
and the places I been 
and the places I wanna be
places I been 
and the stuff for therapy 

I don’t know how to write about it
never felt right with the people I know
just the people in my head
and the things they said
and the places I’ve been 
and the stuff for therapy

Stuff for therapy

🌼 Lyrics:

I had so much more to say
Over the trumpets
Over the sea receding 
for the angels to see 
what's become of you and me
Over the years
Didn't you hear me, hear me
Over the churches 
with their heavy bells
Over the swords gleaming
And the  ghosts and ghouls of politics that steal us away
And stray and stray and stray 

I'd fall in with the beasts
If they'd let me
Death would not cease but I'd be more honest at least 3x's

If I were still
And your tongue went wild
There's time to kill
Just as we've all been defiled  
A crime given to fulfil
It's a tired story 
So I won't tell it again
Over the sea and the sun in the morning
It's beyond your or my ken 
Just a question of when
Of nothing or something until the end
And it's more than I can defend

Over The Years

🌼 Lyrics:

it was raining
I was taller than you for once
I sacrificed getting rained on
for my self worth

the music is beautiful
where we don’t belong
there’s an old TV
where something begun

I wonder if Im special
are any of these secrets secret
are you gonna give me something
and tell me to keep it

maybe it really is
all in the dark from here
these thoughts came from something
these patterns are disarming
the messages you try to send
were coded in the passing

god’s been sent to the embalming 
we can keep him in a shrine
this body isn’t even mine

it’s been stolen so many times
but that ain’t what I wanna talk about
cause caring is scary
let’s get high
save the questions
for some other time

the art is terrible where we don’t belong
there are homeless thieves 
where something went wrong
where something wen’t wrong

these thoughts came from something
these patterns are disarming
the messages you try to send
were coded in the passing

satan’s been floating on a cloud
we can beat him till it’s fine
this soul isn’t even mine

it’s been stolen  so many times
but that ain’t what I wanna talk about
cause caring is scary
let’s get high
save the questions
for some other...

it’s been stolen  so many times
but that ain’t what I wanna talk about
cause caring is scary
let’s get high
save the questions
for some other time

it was raining
I was shorter than a saint for once
I sacrificed getting high 
for half a bottle of wine
half a bottle of wine
