Castaways 03:13
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Pure plated gold, prancing to her own beat Crackles to life, painting our cobbled streets Azure ocean hair, parading cascade Stranding us on shore, she sailed away Into the night dancing and swaying Whimsy hypnosis, charming castaways Intoxicated lungs fill with air Sweeter than smoke displacing all despair Saturated winds pervades our heads Drenching every thought, numbing all our dread Into the night we dance and sway Whimsy hypnosis, charming castaways Into the night trapped in a daze Easing all our dysphoria Ah! Our scattered ashes line the halls Burst into flames in a heavy rainfall Into the night we dance and sway Whimsy hypnosis, charming castaways Into the night trapped in a daze Chasing dreams of euphoria

I’ll admit I’m just a mess Angered, beat down, endless stress Of a life I can’t control From the things I won’t let go Locked down, now I’m bustin’ loose Run amok with no excuse I’ve got a name to make I’ll give less than I take Run me through and take me under Drop this shit that’s led to nowhere Take me back to the streets! To the city lights and skyline scenes Take me back to the streets! It holds my highs and beliefs Held this dog down long enough Dragged around by the scruff Bred from hate, name unknown Got no place to call my home Blaspheme now and bite the hand Pushing back on all demands Clear the path my right of way Purpose-led empowered stray We’re a pedigree A special breed Once in a lifetime oddity Purge ourselves of old medicine Break free from inhibitions Take me back to the streets! (To the streets) To the city lights and skyline scenes Take me back to the streets! (To the streets) It holds my highs and beliefs Take me back to the streets! (To the streets) Where vagabonds and nomads meet Take me back to the streets! (To the streets) Gutter beds and alley suites Ah! Ah! Ah!

I’ve had enough today I’ve got to get away From a self inflicted benign mass Growing from a dark and distant past Crowded thoughts love company They invite misery Demons do what they do best Terrors ripping through my chest Emaciated dystrophy Double tongued, gives me the creeps We fall forever into blinding fog Further down the void with no control Symbiotic apathy Takes the night and drowns the day Shadows run up all the walls Answering a devil’s call Weeping hands, no air to breathe Suffocating empathy Body embalmed, lashes from their claws We fall forever into blinding fog Further down the void with no control We fall forever into blinding fog Further down the void with no control We fall forever into blinding fog Further down the void with no control

I read a book on apathy Then gave away all of my things It seemed a simple price to pay So that everything won’t mean a god damn thing to me I’m giving up on listening Bite my tongue, let it bleed Down my throat it’s hard to breathe Now everything’s a god damn catastrophe You better take it with a grain of salt Letting go of the things we want Unraveling we come undone With nothing left we decay and rot Everything don’t mean a god damn thing to me Everything don’t mean a god damn thing

Rotten 03:01
I’m not mad, I’m barely sad All my guts have turned black Rotten on the inside Flies and flesh, horrid stench and putrified I won’t last, I’m metastasized I’m nothing, you’re nothing Not destined for something No, nothing at all, not anything at all I’ve come to my senses That we’re all just senseless Letting myself fall helps nobody at all I won’t be forgotten Face down in a coffin It’s been said that when we’re dead The flame we held inside Consumes those still alive I’ve come to my senses That we’re all just senseless Letting myself fall helps nobody at all I’ve come to my senses Dropped useless defenses Letting myself fall helps nobody at all Letting myself fall helped nobody at all

about

We did it! We released 'Flies'.

A monumental thanks to everyone who helped and contributed to 'Flies', especially our friends and family who were patient with us while we were out writing, recording, and playing.

This record represents who we are as Distortions. It means a lot to us and we hope you fall in love with it just as we have.

We hope to see you at a show soon!
