Amelia (the Proxy) 04:03
lyrics
buy track
The war is never over The eyes of the world are opening up Every day a newborn soldier And a bloodstained memorial Amelia, do you remember the time You ran so close to the edge Amelia, you burned out so bright I'll never let them forget Hooray hooray for the cavalry New assembly for the old machine Systematic failure gone unchecked Raise new soldiers, fuck the rest Amelia, do you remember the time You ran so close to the edge Amelia, you burned out so bright I'll never let them forget Do you know what you're fighting for? Do you know your enemy? Do you know the end game? Have you seen the blood of the regime? Strong hearts on the front line Manipulated by design A soldier first, a martyr last Those kids, they grow up so fast Amelia, do you remember the time You ran so close to the edge Amelia, you burned out so bright I'll never let them forget Do you know what you're fighting for? Do you know your enemy? Do you know the end game? Have you seen the blood of the regime?

Please don't patronize My strength is wearing thin Lovesick and poisoned The death of romance setting in The scratch of nails Vacancy in your eyes You see me dying And never sympathize Compulsive memory Stay near to me Don't go to someone else's dream Master and servant I don't think I deserve this The games you like to play The hurt I seem to crave My pincushion heart Takes all your cruelty You watch me crumble And die for your sympathy Compulsive memory Stay near to me Don't go to someone else's dream This is a love story And one day you will love me Compulsive memory Stay near to me Don't go to someone else's dream

The telephone stopped ringing And I don't know where you are My mind can't let the darkness go All the miserable scenarios The clock marches against me I cannot shake the fear The witching hours come and gone I scream against the coming dawn Darling, did you lose your way? Are you walking with the ghosts? Are you at the bottom of the lake? Are you ever coming home? The roads are slick with rain And the clouds are black and sick The morning brings new agonies New visions of catastrophe I hold on to strands of hope But I'm a slave to time The crushing blow has come I scream against the setting sun Darling, did you lose your way? Are you walking with the ghosts? Are you at the bottom of the lake? Are you ever coming home? Darling, did you lose your way? Are you walking with the ghosts? Are you at the bottom of the lake? Are you ever coming home?

Strawberry Wolves Forever 03:48
lyrics

Torn pages of diaries I'm dying to forget Mind can't find the harmony Only the punishment Measure for measure Pay for a broken heart Harvest, cull the souls Never find a way back home Forgotten halycon days Make way for digging graves And out come the wolves Nothing goes the way it should Long day for heathens I haven't got a prayer I sing the sorrow But no one seems to care Falling to my knees In consecrated earth I know all that I've done God knows I'm not the only one Forgotten halycon days Make way for digging graves And out come the wolves In the blood, there's nothing good I know I'm not going to heaven Forgotten halycon days Make way for digging graves And out come the wolves I didn't have to be so cruel Nothing goes the way it should In the blood, there's nothing good I didn't have to be so cruel Nothing goes the way it should

small talk 03:35
lyrics

No one knows the cautionary tales We tread along the darkest path I am the blind leading the blind Gone too far to turn back Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze You have nothing to say Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze I have nothing to say Marching in your sad parade Let the trail of dead lead the way Home is wherever i roam I have never felt so alone Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze You have nothing to say Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze I have nothing to say You don't know me anymore But you drag me to the depths I am no longer anyone But you still call me your friend You don't know me anymore But we share the same abyss Our lives in disarray We have nothing to say Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze You have nothing to say Day after mindless day Deeper into the maze I have nothing to say

Self Care (is not for everyone) 02:44
lyrics
buy track
I've been called names that I dare not say I've been brought up to feel my weight in shame The mirror shows me the face of a threat My mind rewinds a copy of Faces of Death Split right down to my molecular structure Struggle to find my universal function I do not know the place where I belong I don't recall a time where I ever felt strong I've been bruised in places you can't see I'm a survivor but I don't know what that means I cry for help but no one has solutions I wish I had a better outlook on my future

The Body 04:41
lyrics

There's a body at the bottom of the stairs Someone I never knew There's a body at the bottom of the stairs Somehow looks a little like you Spirtits in this material world Wail and gnash their teeth I stopped caring long ago Means nothing to me It's a mad mad mad mad world And I don't know who to call It's a quiet day outside Maybe there's no one at all Spirtits in this material world Wail and gnash their teeth I stopped caring long ago Means nothing to me Last night I saw a comet And believed in greater things Watched it pass me by Felt the weight of everything The hurt and all the pain The things I cannot change Made a hurting in my chest That will never fade There's a body at the bottom of the stairs Someone I never knew There's a body at the bottom of the stairs Someone looks a little like you Spirtits in this material world Wail and gnash their teeth I stopped caring long ago Means nothing to me

about

Pure Filth is an experiment.

I found myself having a tough time. I was unhappy about a lot of things and having trouble sleeping. I decided to do something for myself, which is a bit of a foreign concept to me.

I set out to make an album in a weekend. I went in with no lyrics written, no music composed and set out to make seven songs. Along the way, I experimented with things. I used weird chords, played instruments through odd pedal combinations... It's not perfect. It's not meant to be. Parts are uncomfortable. Parts are pretty.

Pure Filth is an experiment and I'm happier for having done it. It may not be for everyone, but it certainly is for me.
