After a weird period of writer's block / distractions / major and minor inconveniences of everyday life / lethargy / half written stubbornly unfinished songs - it looks like the gears on the musical machine might be ever so slowly grinding their way into motion for us again (we hope!!) as a few new things seem to be tentatively rolling off the production line....
This is the first new thing we've written in a while and I joked to Gina that it sounds like it belongs on a horror movie soundtrack - ironic in that the original demo was a cute little piano thing that morphed into this......

Lyrics:

I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close enough

I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain

Cut out the dark parts and let you out
Cut out the dark parts and let you out

I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close.

Lyrics:
Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

The ancients, now buried
Believed themselves as gods

Their deafening silence
proves that they were wrong

Gentle bravery preserves
While hubris destroys

We’ve forgotten ourselves
Consumed by our toys

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall
Again and again
And again

Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

A mighty army lies vanquished
The snake consumes itself

The one who kills
destroys themselves

Subtle perseverance
steers us to the way

Our collective madness 
has chosen – has chosen --
Another fate

True words may be ugly
While the beautiful may be false

Have respect for everyone
don’t exalt yourself

The great are laid low
The soft and gentle remain

This world could be a paradise
But we have initiated the fall

Flumina (Brian Butts Feat. Cosmic Keanu)

TAFFETA | 113

Get ready for something you’ve never heard — or felt — before.

You could call this album a horror opera. Or maybe an audio horror movie. It’s an ecstatic mix… a soaking wet nightmare.

You might feel uneasy. Maybe even terrified. Possibly… watched. Or possessed.

We’ve had some of the strangest reactions from people lucky (or unlucky) enough to get an early listen. We just call it music. And hey — tastes vary. You might hate it. You might fall in love with it.

Either way, we can proudly say this is our absolute favorite album we’ve ever made.

Oh, and here’s the weird part — there’s no mastering on this record. What you hear is raw and unfiltered. Untouched. Unpolished. Not separated from reality in any way.

Maybe that’s what makes some people squirm.

So… enjoy the ride into the land of nightmares. And let The Witch seduce you.

P.S.
After listening, you might not only be possessed… but also pregnant — and your firstborn might already be sold straight to the Devil.

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
