  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Deluxe double LP of "Decreation" pressed on nice quality, heavyweight 180g black vinyl, housed in a 350gsm deluxe gatefold jacket, hand-numbered and limited to 50 copies. This is internally the same vinyl as the 1st pressing; the pressing plant alerted me of an accidental overage and sold me the remaining records at cost, which allows me to offer them to people at a more affordable pricepoint. Externally, these records will be numbered from #51–100 in silver ink, to distinguish them from the gold ink of the 1st pressing. They will also not include prints or stickers, because I ran out :(

    Includes unlimited streaming of Decreation via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I’ve wound these wounds across my body
as reminders of our history and promises.
while bathing yourself in the lies you weave,
that acrimonious night we spent in the rose garden.

paint me like the villain in your fiction,
but you can’t mask the unsettling truth.
your paroxysms of paranoia carry no weight here, dear,
in the rose garden.

mollified for now, I can breathe a sigh
while you caress me, undress me, possess me with discarnate vows.
broken bones and forced smiles.
string me up or cut me loose.

a twilit temple graveyard.
a storm of moonlit petals
and desaturated luminance blankets the tall grass.
you couldn’t bury me deep enough.

buried in the rose garden,
we intertwine our hands.
under the dome of stars,
only in death do we relent;
in death.

I’ve worn these scars across the country.
your words scatter on the wind like fallen leaves.
may these memories fade with ignominy
in the sagacious acumen of the rose garden.
