[verse 1]
It's your fault
I can't contain myself
Not my fault
I must scratch the itch
[verse 2]
I was led astray yet I have no regret
How can I be guilty, be perceived as a threat ?
How is it depraved to give in when enticed ?
Lines can't be crossed when nothing is confined.
You justified all things
that have come to pass.
I was scandalized into reproaching my acts,
left to count the days until eventual payback.
[intermezzo]
You should know better than to provoke
to willingly instigate.
You should know better than to provoke
and give rise to what you condemn.
[outro]
Because of you,
I am seen as one of them.
Because of you,
I was made one of them.
Because of you,
I became one of them.
Because of you,
I am one of them.

[verse 1]
My memories, held together by staples
My identity is replicated on paper
I study and I repeat and I relive just to remember
[bridge]
My worries are on paper
Just so I can
remember
[verse 2]
My memories, held together by staples
My identity is replicated on paper
I study and I repeat and I relive just to remember
[bridge]
My worries are on paper
Just so I can
remember
[verse 3]
The hoarder is crying
'cause his attic is leaking
[verse 4]
I'll keep amending
I'll fill the blanks
I am forgetful
I'll keep reclaiming
as I wear myself down
'cause I'm fearful.
[verse 5]
The hoarder is dying
as his membranes are breaching
[outro]
So I remember
So I remember
So I remember
So I remember
So I remember...
So I am.
So I was.

[intro]
You have to whisper when you meet them
You have to whisper when among them
Find me among them
[verse 1]
We scream our demands
and we spit them out at you
our words will connect
before relaying them onto...
We scream our demands
and you'll spread them out at them
and you'll have them reflect
on what we’re saying
We love to point at others
to blame is so much better than to suffer
You'll propagate these words
spread them at our behest
as you'd only protest
if you'd be winning
[chorus 1]
Rising up
gaining traction
persuasive words
instill great pleasures
as our voice
is growing louder
you're left splintered
and devoured
[verse 2]
You feared the stigma
so you censored yourself
Society became fully sterile
We scream our demands
as we spit them at you
and you'll spit them right back
without listening to (us)
We scream our demands
and you’ll spit them out at them
and you’ll have them reflect
on what you’re saying
We love to point at others
to blame is so much better than to suffer
You'll propagate these words
every syllable stressed
by request of an
unknown benefactor
As our numbers grow larger
we are sure to be seen
you can only profess
because you're willing
[chorus 2]
Rising up
gaining traction
Persuasive words
instill great pleasures
And their cries
now fully muted
Left diced and divided

Drosophelia Amsterdam, Netherlands
A painted world in which memory, decay and industrialist tones meet science fiction; a eulogy for the what-has-been and that what-will-never-come-to-be.
Drosophelia recommends:
Kadonneet maat
by Kadonneet maat
A wonderfully ambitious effort with great sound design and unexpected twists. Guaranteed to hook you by the time the opener reaches its halfway point.
