lyrics
Mike Indest - lyrics, music
Interpreted by-STRAIGHTENERS & FASTENERS
Maybe it's the weight of the world
On my shoulders
Maybe it's the crushing hand of God
Maybe it's the fact that I'm getting older
And every second ticks away closer to the end
CHORUS
And there's something more than gravity
Bringing me down, down, down
Maybe it's the lies that you told me
Maybe it's the way I don't forget
Maybe it's the troubled times we had before
That in my mind I always relive
Well I try to walk upright
It gets harder every day
Is it me or my surroundings that
Bring me to my knees

On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
The Italian label Raw Culture is a force to be reckoned with & this album is proof of its powers, packed with subterranean industrial heat. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2023
