Cripple And Casino - …And Gentlemen
from With High Regards by CRIPPLE AND CASINO
lyrics
Savages nobles we are born
In a screaming mess, to mothers torn
Bloody loafs of freedom then
Passed into the grip of trained women
They were schooled to clean us up
Wrap us firmly, silent our shout
Plug us into mommy's chest
She will teach us, she will know what's best
Our fathers are taxidermists
Our mothers assistants
To make us all pretty flasks to hold emptiness
Which dress should I wear to the funeral of my soul?
I've chosen this blank stare
Does it fit my role?
Sometimes we're the binders of our chains
To our Abels, often, we're the Cains
Will we rid our daughters of our pain
Or spend our lives taking breaths in vain?
In a screaming mess, to mothers torn
Bloody loafs of freedom then
Passed into the grip of trained women
They were schooled to clean us up
Wrap us firmly, silent our shout
Plug us into mommy's chest
She will teach us, she will know what's best
Our fathers are taxidermists
Our mothers assistants
To make us all pretty flasks to hold emptiness
Which dress should I wear to the funeral of my soul?
I've chosen this blank stare
Does it fit my role?
Sometimes we're the binders of our chains
To our Abels, often, we're the Cains
Will we rid our daughters of our pain
Or spend our lives taking breaths in vain?

Proti kapitulaciji
by BorghesiaFree-floating retrofuturist industrial art rock epic. Imagine alternative soundtrack of Blade Runner, uncanny ambience of Coil, melancholy of Berlin era David Bowie and immediacy of Nine Inch Nails.

Monster Truck Mondays
by The Empty ThreatsTightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals.
