All Alone 02:40
All alone, I've been living alone Next to the family that robbed your home They dance around in your jewelry Talk about all your fondest memories... yeah Laying down in my underwear On a filthy couch with no reason To ever want to leave this place again All alone, I've been living alone Next to the family that robbed your home While I'm stuck here chanting: I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it I told my dad to go to hell For poisoning a nearby well Lies I usually tell myself Have kept me from screaming for help I nailed shut all of the doors The window barricaded by boards Smashed the locks and broke the keys Chained my legs so I can't flee I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it I paid the price I pushed the limit I had a dream No one was in it

I'm so glad I met you It's freezing cold outside, The Fiesta's dead. Let's light another cigarette Feel the Love Buzz, So kill. Glowing skin turns red And our lips our wet Let's wipe the floor With our regrets Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight! Foggy windows, Fogged up heads. Time cuts and it peels, Bleeding hearts And bleeding heels. Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight. Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight. I'm so glad I found you. Snow is fallin' 'round Your silhouette… Let's wipe the floor with our regrets! Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight! Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight! Hey! Hey! Hey! Bury the ratchet tonight!

When I woke up this morning My mind all black and blue Time to stand and deliver Nothing left, nothing to lose I go and bathe in the river It's all dried out I still shiver Caught my hand in a cave on the hill Counting pennies from the till Well I gave you my secrets Under lock and key But you took a sledge hammer Smashed it open for the world to see You're holding hands with your mother Your only choice there's no other Says you're standing when you're falling Switches over when you calling Judging flowers as they wither away Leaving 'cause you won't ask to stay Just stand and deliver hey, hey Just stand Just stand and deliver hey, hey Just stand and deliver hey, hey Just stand and deliver Just stand and deliver hey, hey Just stand and deliver Just stand and deliver hey, hey Just stand and deliver

An open mind But your hands are tied Tonight's the night We steal our freedom So take a dive And shield those sun-soaked eyes 'Cause the truth don't care About your feelings There's no need for you to speak We're just tumbling dice in here! Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun, yeah!!! Now's the time We've come to free the mine Knowledge is weak And so are reasons Is it truth that makes you bleed? We're just tumbling dice in here. Through the haze, it's you I seek Is this laughing gas, my dear? Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun!!! Blot out the sun, yeah!!! 1-2-3 murder on the scene. And there's nothing in between. I swear, that's all I know! This dream isn't what it seems. Why is there a bullet in my teeth, As my heart explodes?

about

In october of 2020, after the red skies cleared and the powers that be allowed a crease for social interaction, we descended upon the studio to lay down these four vignettes on solitude, madness, dissolution of trust, and ignorance.

Trying to stay true to our DIy roots, we made the effort to mix and master these songs ourselves. 18 months passed and nothing sounded as good as we knew the songs could.

Serendipity stepped in to place Reade Wilcott in our paths. She lifted these songs out of the mud with yoda-like skill, sprinkled magical care, clarity, and precision all over the songs like stardust.
