Gold replaces God. This track bleeds arrogance — fast riffs, metallic heartbeat, and a desperate sax solo that screams over the clatter of falling empires. In GREED, everyone’s a king of ashes.

Tick...
Clang...
Greed in motion —
Heart corrosion.

[Verse 1]
Gears are grinding, faith is sold,
Every dream — a bar of gold.
Pulse in wires, skin of chrome,
We built this cage, we call it home.

Steel breath, iron veins,
Cash runs hot inside my chains.
Every lie feels clean, divine —
God is debt, and gold is mine.

[Bridge I]
MACHINE OF GOLD — BLEED IT DRY!
YOUR GOD IS GREED — YOUR SOUL A LIE!
TURN AND TURN — UNTIL YOU BREAK!
THE CROWN YOU WEAR — A FUCKING FAKE!

[Chorus]
Feed the fire — feed the need!
Gold is hunger — we all bleed!
Hands of power, hearts of stone,
This machine will take your throne!

(HEY! HEY! HEY!)

Feed the fire — feed the need!
Gold is hunger — we all bleed!
Born in chains, we die the same,
Greed’s the game — remember the name!

[Verse 2]
Hands of glass, hearts of lead,
We trade the living for the dead.
Money sings — a lullaby,
We sleep inside a golden lie.

[Bridge II]
EAT THE METAL — DRINK THE RUST!
EVERY DEAL BETRAYS YOUR TRUST!
WE ARE RICH — WE ARE DEAD!
COINS REPLACE THE BLOOD WE SHED!

[Chorus]
Feed the fire — feed the need!
Gold is hunger — we all bleed!
Born in chains, we die the same,
Greed’s the game — REMEMBER THE NAME!

[Outro]
Tick… tick… tick…
The gold machine still breathes.

Pioneers of Colorado’s electronic music explosion, Break Science soars ahead of the curve, with a decade-plus trendsetting the game. Steeped in filial traditions of East Coast hip hop, and futuristic soundwaves of the now, the Denver-based duo continues to scale creative mountains. Comprised of keyboardist/producer/jazz pianist Borahm Lee (Pretty Lights Live Band) and funk/hip-hop drummer extraordinaire Adam Deitch (Lettuce), Break Science traces roots to the embryonic seeds that flowered the electro-soul movement. The pair have consistently ascended the cutting edge of live dance music culture with an array of blistering live performances in any number of settings or configurations.

Borahm Lee’s masterful use of Ableton Live and prowess atop an assortment of analog synths, Fender Rhodes, and digital plug-ins propel Break Science’s towards the new frontier. Lee has worked with cultural icons like Kanye West and The Fugees, he is well versed in reggae/dub vibrations. Adam Deitch keeps it thorough with classic boom-bap, and inventive patterns that employ his rhythmic wizardry, be it electronic drum programming or a traditional trap-kit. Deitch has worked with hip-hop legends like Redman, Pharoahe Monch and members of the Wu-Tang Clan, he’s manned the drum seat for jazz luminaries like John Scofield (Uberjam). Both members of Break Science bring classic hip-hop, dub, drum n’ bass, dancehall, jazz, funk, and genre-defying elements to coalesce in modern electronic soundscapes.

The sum of these parts has evolved Break Science into an amalgam of styles authentic, and an artistic aesthetic wholly their own, heard in the highest of definition on their titanic 2018 full-length LP Grid of Souls. For ever-further explorations in sound, the duo will form like Voltron, combining with several members of Lettuce for the wildly-kinetic Break Science Live Band. Whether the essential dynamic duo or a full-fledged ensemble, they continue to break down the science & move the arena, one gridlocked soul at a time.
