about

began as a word exercise, and ended in a curse
making life easy by making life worse
my mask is my master, the trumpeter weeps

lyrics

the sheik of chic she kissed my cheek
staring down my sleek physique
skiffs row down her secret creek of chardonnay and hennessy

she opens up her woolen cloak and
buries me inside
welcomes me into her flight of fancy on a sequin kite

but do i deserve the gift of her light
what have i done to earn it
besides infatuation at first sight

ive barely moved at all
from this computer chair
but that look in her eyes
like some burly mama bear

she grabs my hair
pulls it hard
drags me on the floor
my soul is in shards
do not touch
for there is blood
in passion’s clutch

she says i am not cut
i say okay thats great i like it uncut, but
i have so many wasted años lying in a bloody bucket
it is not my gift to take your heart
or take your girth
god’s greatest mistake
was my birth

do i deserve the gift of your light
what have i done to earn it
besides infatuation at first sight

ive barely moved at all
from this computer chair
but that look in your eyes
like some burly mama bear

she grabs my hair
pulls it hard
drags me on the floor
my soul is in shards
do not touch
for there is blood
in passion’s clutch

she grabs my hair
pulls it hard
drags me on the floor
my soul is in shards
do not touch
for there is blood
in passion’s clutch

its a crutch
my taste for it
the smell of leather belts
so sliding on my tit

loves not in my language to the self
if i could take your love for me and my self hate and make some kind of meld
maybe
maybe

continuing from FIYH, this is blackpilled as all fuck; written and delivered with the raw candidness and self-mocking bitterness of a high-schoolers journal, and set to beats that are laser-focused to keep my distractable mind topped up on angry dopamine. A tight 21 minutes of weaponised disgust. Tom Colquhoun

I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES
by Backxwash

supported by 5 fans who also own “In Passion's Clutch”

Each line on this album is delivered with malice, and each word hits like a mace to the skull. Backxwash uses raw aggression to vent frustration and anguish in a way that evokes an anger with the world rather than a pity for her. Luke Warmwater
