1.
you've gone so far and i'm too far gone (again, again, again, again)
2.
i was lied to today i don't understand why everyone is lying to me i'll see you i'll see you i'll see you soon
3.
this rage i feel, it's endless i blame you all i tried to help; i tried to keep myself sane but now i'll explode wasted, over, wasted, forget it i blame you i blame myself i'll stay in this cycle it's never ending kill me before i do
4.
i'll manipulate myself i'll lie to myself i've got nothing left to give i'm empty, inside i'm trying to find, what i need too much has been taken from me i'm trying to find, what i need too much has been taken from me sifting through my head i can't seem to think i would do anything to not be here anymore i'm trying to find what i need too much has been taken from me i'm trying to find what i need too much has been taken from me too much as been taken from me (i'll give up)
5.
i'm at death's door and my hands are bloody from trying to get in please let me in please let me in please let me in i'm at death's door begging to be let in i can no longer take this pain
6.
i'm becoming more alone losing everyone around me i'm left here, all to myself no one needs me anymore i deserve nothing i will suffer i'll rot on my own that's what my life will be (that's what my life will be)
7.
8.
when tenderness is lost we rely on memory. residues weep off bulldozered walls. are we fated to end up as scents? as scars? as the falling book that jarred me awake? what might we hope to become?
9.
10.
to end the aching ritual we must open the circle. mend torn cloth. heal ashen wounds. as bereavement succumbs to recollections that muddy and weaken, lightning forms from grief-stricken cells that make way for the new.
11.
these bodies are only temporary and my bitter jokes reflect this understanding. i do my best to forget the date, yet can't help but weep at ceremonies. we had the talk again. you asked to be burned. you said i live in preparation. i know no other way of existing.
12.
to the boy with the torn infest shirt. i won't mourn embraces lost. my tribute to you greys as i do. to the boy with the morrissey patch. ashtray kisses were all we had. old addictions die hard. you have gone from this realm. still i sense you. you have moved beyond experience. still i invoke you.

about

LCK030: Diploid & Lytta - Prosopopoeia

A musical representation of human grief, loss and longing split between two acts from each side of the lucky country, Australia. Human emotion is a different experience betwixt and between subjects of all kinds; and within these 12 tracks we are given an opportunity to see through the window into the minds of these musicians; with their varying levels of tenacity providing us with an opportunity to glimpse into their psyche: raw, cathartic, and almost suffocating in their differing respective intensities.

This split came together wonderfully, and a big thank you is necessary to everyone involved, especially Diploid & Lytta through the long wait in getting this ready to release. hopefully everyone enjoys this record as much as me!
