lyrics
Escape
This is a step against forgetting
This is a word against the gentle voice of sleep
That sings to kill so easily
I want to wake the rusty clockwork
I’ll pick the clenching lock that swallowed its own key
And the caves will laugh and the clouds will see
You break in two the ground beneath my towering fear
That sometimes things really do just disappear
You are the shackles gone tarnished
You are at last the unharnessed
You’re an escape artist
You’re an escape
You find the world that’s lost to me
You rise in reciprocity
This is escape velocity
This is escape
And when I step into the daylight
The sun is crying at the funeral performed
In memory of the night before
And if I drink away a brain cell
There’s one less unexpected rhyme I might reveal
A dimming of the empyreal
But if a bronze age hunter freezes in the ice
Is it too much to ask to live twice?
And if our broadcast waves bounce off of Andromeda and back
I know in you the signal stays intact
Every book at Alexandria
Each tiger of Tasmania
The love in leper colonies
The dreams that fly away from me
And every last of every tribe
Each language known by none alive
The paintings burned in World War Two
They all escape oblivion in you
This is a step against forgetting
This is a word against the gentle voice of sleep
That sings to kill so easily
I want to wake the rusty clockwork
I’ll pick the clenching lock that swallowed its own key
And the caves will laugh and the clouds will see
You break in two the ground beneath my towering fear
That sometimes things really do just disappear
You are the shackles gone tarnished
You are at last the unharnessed
You’re an escape artist
You’re an escape
You find the world that’s lost to me
You rise in reciprocity
This is escape velocity
This is escape
And when I step into the daylight
The sun is crying at the funeral performed
In memory of the night before
And if I drink away a brain cell
There’s one less unexpected rhyme I might reveal
A dimming of the empyreal
But if a bronze age hunter freezes in the ice
Is it too much to ask to live twice?
And if our broadcast waves bounce off of Andromeda and back
I know in you the signal stays intact
Every book at Alexandria
Each tiger of Tasmania
The love in leper colonies
The dreams that fly away from me
And every last of every tribe
Each language known by none alive
The paintings burned in World War Two
They all escape oblivion in you

Eyes On Backwards
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 143 fans who also own “Escape (Abandoned demo)”
This album should be ranked very high in ranks of latest industrial albums, because it just crushes the competition. THIS is how it's done people. Menacing vocals, pounding drums and haunting electronics have no mercy on your ears and leave you with not one second of peace. Play this loud and do people around you a service.

All The Way Down
by Dead When I Found Hersupported by 131 fans who also own “Escape (Abandoned demo)”
That devastating and frightening atmosphere is mesmerizing. Probably the only DWIFH album I fell in love with. Expiring Time, The Unclean, Threadbare, Downpour, At Rest - these all are my favorites.

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 129 fans who also own “Escape (Abandoned demo)”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
