Tried to make this song as stripped down as possible so it could work with more instruments. I realize it's pretty repetitive, but I also had a pretty strong sense of urgency in my wanting to share this. YEAH, I KNOW THE MIDI STRINGS SOUND AWFUL, BUT I WAS JUST LAYING DOWN THE MELODY SO I WOULDNT FORGET IT FUCK OFF

lyrics:

Find me lying on the lawn waiting for my dogs 
to come carry me, to drag me on,
to pull me by my sleeve.
I believe that you were meant for me,
but we claimed ownership far too early,
and if only we had been younger still. 
Shared our bare skin: the embarassing, naked nature of love.

I wonder how it felt to be under and on your back.

I want to know why I try 
I want to feel something right now
You're here, near me 
So why cant it just be you?

There's a secret buried in your hometown.
There's a light on in the window of your abuser's home.
It says, "Come inside; stay for a while. 
It could be like the first time again."
We're marching in the same iterant line
We sang our anthems for satisfaction, 
of which we deny ourselves.

On your spine I found hope: that I was wasted on wasting time.
I was alive, but you were broken--breaking with the morning light.
We were tired and I was careful not to upset balance, but
Gravity and entropy rarely intersect. 
I don't believe that you need to be saved--not even for a second.

Honestly, Same

Lyrics: 

The word, it had traveled far, you were in disbelief
He couldn't have meant no harm, 
must have had a good reason...

...for it....
...he swears....
...you buy....
....no second.....
....thought of it.....

(vouches for him,
pushes me down,
fragile boy he just slipped up this once
raises him up,
gently pats head,
only strangers can commit such crimes)

The man he had set the bar, you'd expect nothing less,
If anyone shows the same,
they'll receive all your blessing
"What if it's true?" she asks, "I just cannot conceive"
"Please don't be alarmed" he says, "I'm still the same old me"

this does ....
...not change...
...a thing...
...i'm still....
...family...
he grins...
...you shrug...

what makes you think I would like to hear that name?
tyrant gets your blessing, now he gets free reign
should we all bend down and kiss his ugly feet?
take back the accusations, admit defeat?
"anyone in the man's shoes would do the same,
lower your guns there ain't no one here to blame
if I knew you before the news, it's okay
we all sin a bit at the end of the day"

the body it has been maimed, but we can just pretend that
it has remained the same, and no use fussing over it
lick all your wounds and pray that he has judged you kindly
dreadfully await the day where you come in and raid my...

...island,
our space to hide in,
inside my island,
our space to hide in,

we braved the storm, pushing through everything pouring down hard,
only to find that you hold the culprit in high regard
there ain't no peace, ain't no harmony like you so insist,
I called out wolf, but you told me such a thing don't exist

I don't give a damn if it's not what you want to hear,
you don't give a damn if I finish my sentences

Coffee Breath

Find me lying on the lawn 
Caught sight of the black dog
Jackal, odds are the rags they wear are just for show

Come clean 
disappear
Melt with me
into summer air

While I just wait for you in the darkest corners of rooms we poured too many nights into

I know I'm never coming home

Is this really who I am:
a street rat
with alleycat bravery?

In the gutter or on the altar 
where I may be received

And I'm sure it's much too soon to call it in the air, 
but I've felt this way before, so
exsanguinate my lore
exterminate my love 
let my blood trickle down
into their trough 

I'm not waiting anymore

Lust For Loss

Growing Pains

c u l t u r e

The seductive tune chronicles a night of partying, giving a glimpse into the excesses of the rock star lifestyle. The night starts with a backstage encounter between Apache and a woman looking to escape the pressures of conventional life. By the end of the song, a choice is presented to surrender to indulgence or to retreat to society's expectations.

The song builds from a lightly-picked, arpeggiated chord progression to an anthemic riff paired with a sing-along chorus. Apache's breathy verses lead the listener down the rabbit hole before eventually reaching the other side, as the song concludes with a Deadly Habits guitar solo. The track fades away with some hints of more to come, establishing the deadly pair as a duo to pay attention to.
