A written and recorded instantly on a voice memo which was funneled into a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder. Built around it with multiple takes of guitar, double tracked drums, and bass with a big muff pedal.
lyrics
Denial
Whys it so hard to face me?
She said with a lying smile
Sistine had her trumpets
That were playing all the while
In a dream theres no one else
Who you can be
In a dream you go far
But you never really leave
Walking a crooked mile
you’re walking a crooked mile
Why am I so shy?
Just can’t explain
Why I see so many believers
But I can’t believe in my brain
I can take your advice
Turning tricks in my mind
I can fast escape
But I don’t really have the time
Walking a crooked mile
Walking a crooked mile
You’re walking a crooked mile
walking a crooked mile
All the time you’re in denial
