A cover of Trent Reznor's 'Hurt', to celebrate the 27th anniversary of The Downward Spiral.

Hurt

A single from our project, 'Strange City'.
All vocals performed and recorded by Don Levasseur,
all instruments performed and recorded by Ryan Morren.

We kings of our weathered shrines.
Houses like holes.
We can't keep overflowing.

Rough hands are running down the rope again,
this place just feels so haunted. 
Sometimes we try to make the wheels turn again.
Most days you know,
I just like to watch it burn.

Is there any hope for this place,
for failed designs?
We all got left behind.
Is there any space left this time?
Are we all slaves by design?

Falling through the cracks,
in the concrete.
We're dissolving with the urns.
I tried try to turn the engine again,
but the engine doesn't turn.

Crystals falling from the sky,
turn us all into seas of fire.
I want to waste with the earth.
Bury us beneath the dirt,
bury us all alive. 

Running down the road again,
this place just feels so haunted.
Sometimes we try to make the wheels turn again.

Rough hands are running down the rope again,
this place just feels so haunted.
Sometimes we try to make the wheels turn again.
Most days you know,
I just like to watch it burn.

Walk On Water - The Mercy Beat

It's chemical, not just someting
I cooked up in my head, 
I'm in love and I fear 
I've always been 

In my head, five years down
The road, we'll be married
With kids of our own 

And it's thinking like that 
That's gonna get me hurt 
And it's thinking like that
That's gonna get me lost 
And it's thinking like that
It's going to have a cost 

Thinking like that demo

I can still feel you in the air

Where giants once stood
Lay only broken crowns
Beneath their feet

So we tried and tried to touch the sky
But we never left the ground
No we never left the ground

What do we need 
to feel alive again
And is it even worth the fight anymore

What do we see
When it's all gone again
Hoping someday we'll carry it the shore

Things are never what they seem

Now there's a strange distance made
When push comes to shove
These words pouring off the page
We are all the scars we tried to let go of

What do we need 
to feel alive again
And is it even worth the fight anymore

What do we see
When it's all gone again
Hoping someday we'll carry it the shore

I can still feel you in the air
I can still see you everywhere

Things are never what they seem
When you're living on this side of town

What do we need 
to feel alive again
And is it even worth the fight anymore

What do we see
When it's all gone again
Hoping someday we'll carry it the shore

Things are never what they seem

Strange City - Disingenuous

burning at both ends
No room left to try again
pry away
before we both run out of air

so wash it down tonight
with poisons again

no room left to pry away
connected at the roots again
i feel it crawling inside of me
im loosing touch with myself

losing touch again its even harder to breathe
i can feel it crawling inside of me

the sleeplessness awaits
i am baring the weight again
compromised
so its harder to keep this pace
when we black out all the days
i dont need to watch them all erase

like a virus 
we are all just here to stay

loosing touch again from everything
loosing touch again its even harder to breathe
its in my head i hear everything
taring from the inside i know its here to stay

no room left to pry away
connected at the roots again
i feel it crawling inside of me
im loosing touch with myself

im loosing everything again 
i can feel it on the inside

i am loosing again 

losing touch again its even harder to breathe
i can feel it crawling inside of me
