A GOODNIGHT STOKER Story

This song was originally written for the album but I never quite finished it in time so I had to hold it back. With the album out I finally managed to get it together and really wanted to push it out to finally finish the STOKER story. thank u :))

lyrics:
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

I think we've seen too much 
And when we talk it's like another loss
So dark and it's hard to find you 
We can't seem to find a way through 
And I wish that it was different 
Lies don't know how to spin them 
Loud it's so loud
I'm breaking down
You'll come around 

Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you
 
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling 
Oh my god what's wrong with me 
Yeah I asked for this but I can't be seen 
With this dry mouth red eyed silicon face 
And this new devil singing in my ear 
There's no space for me to breathe me to grieve 
Wanna bleed on this track 
Take my eyes I'll be fine 
Please just never give 'em back

Children are wicked and the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 
Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
(Victim)
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
(To you)

Ay 
Be your victim 
(To you)
Ugh Ugh 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling

SAVAGE MANSION LIVE:
THU, FEB 15 @ SUMMERHALL, EDINBURGH
SAT, FEB 17 @ RUM SHACK, GLASGOW

STREAM 'Present Tense' / PRE-ORDER ALBUM: https://li.sten.to/savagemansion-presenttense

A dark true-life tale wrapped in a dissonant jangle that imagines Richard Thompson playing the Velvet Underground, ‘Present Tense’ is the latest new track from Glasgow-based slanted indie-rock five-piece Savage Mansion. Released as part of Lost Map’s PostMap Club subscription service in the month of December (b/w ‘Night School’), it’s the latest taste of the band’s forthcoming fourth album The Shakes, which will be released on limited-edition 12” vinyl and digital services on February 16, 2024. It’s Savage Mansion’s most exciting record yet – a set of 11 songs which better than ever capture the explosive live energy of a band whose best gig is always their next gig, rooted in a deep well of emotion, and the rigorously thought-through reasoning of writers thoroughly in love with their influences.
 
“This is a band favourite,” says Craig about ‘Present Tense’. “I didn’t think much of it at the time, but the minute Andy and I started playing it together it felt like a keeper. It’s about my high school English teacher who had an affair with a kid. It was messy and horrible, and registering it as a 13/14-year-old you didn’t really take it in properly. I remember bringing it up at the pub and everyone had a similar story, at least one. The themes of the record are varied but I suppose it’s reckoning with the animal inside us. This is the extremity of that thematic idea. That sort of impulse… I don’t have to cast judgement on it. What is there to say? Some things are inexcusable.”

Savage Mansion - 'Present Tense'

I'm falling like quicksand
Trapped in this wasteland
Can you understand
Could you lend a hand

I'm trying my best
Efforts prove worthless
What did I do to deserve this

I can't escape I'm clawing at the walls
I'm bound to break I ascend and then I fall
How much can I take want to end it all
My world has caved I feel so hollow

My body aches I hate tomorrows
Filled up with sorrow
I'm falling apart
Fucked from the start

Never stood a chance
An empty heart
I feel so dead
Only thing I look forward to is my death

Then I'll finally be able to rest
Rest in peace in knowing that I'm mother fucking dead
No more pain no more stress no more mother fucking dread
When I'm dead just know I tried my best
