about

A track I recorded most of the parts to shortly after Sci-Fi Fantasy, in early 2021. It sat around until late 2022 when I decided to try my best to finish it up and kick it out the door by adding the lead guitar parts.

I wanted to try doing less screamy vocals for once, but wound up absolutely shredding my voice to pieces during the choruses, which I left in, since there was no way I could get a better take than that, and it kind of felt fitting to have the song fall apart at the end anyway.

lyrics

Wasting away, before the darkness comes
Street lights will fade before the morning dawn
Feel led astray, from what I could become
I guess that's okay, I'm done with acting dumb

Come slip away into a normal rut!
Monotony until you come undone!
Come slip away into a normal rut!
Repeat these steps until you're one of us!

Day after day, we watch the setting sun
Glisten away, before the day is done
A loose thread will fray, and only lose so much
That's the price to pay, when the dam starts to rust.

Come slip away into a normal rut!
Monotony until you come undone!
Come slip away into a normal rut!
Repeat these steps until you're one of us!
