Totally unexpected, bomb ass collab of @SkankyMojo and yours truly. It all started in December with one guitar lick and the permission to go completely insane!
The process has shocked us both multiple times over with how well we work together. It came as I was going through a bit of a slump after my work on a HUGE remix of Can You See The Clouds Divide, meanwhile SkankyMojo was chipping away at an album. That's actually how we linked up and got inspired!
Besides pulling out all the stops on the track, we decided whatever we did, we wanted to drop some fire bars and solos. Somehow it turned from Drum & Bass to the Frankenstein genre of electronic rap metal you hear today, and neither of us is sorry.
Track deets below.
Lyrics:
I have loved and I lost humanity
I have learned as I watched it fall away
Far away from me
Nobody knows how to read
Nobody knows who to be
Shouldn't believe what I see, but who's telling me
We fall apart at the seams
And we don't know what it means
Think I forgot how to breathe as we lay dying
From depression of reflection how nobody really needs us
Harder than admitting that we really needed Jesus
Haven't really noticed that we act like he beneath us
Holier than thou to anybody who can see us
You are no exception to the human condition
To think your vision efficient to say that you are not sinning
When you are living to fit in with all the fucking division
And I am tired of giving attention to your opinion about
Gunfights late nights sleeping in the streets
Lil baby dodging bullets that was never meant for me
White kid in the hood shooting dice with the Gs
Grown up chasing paper knowing nothing is for free
I have loved and I watched it fall away
Do you remember when this started?
Before the light first parted the darkness
Back when Eden was starless
Until the bearer he dared to charm us
Three seraphim forgot to sing
And as they fell from heaven they broke all six wings
From the 9 quires, to the depth of sin
We're infinite without, we're one within
Gun fights late nights sleeping in the streets
Lil baby dodging bullets that was never meant for me
Kid in the hood shooting dice with the Gs
Grown up chasing paper knowing nothing is for free
Roll up with the freaks higher than the seven seas
On the first day of college act like knowledge a disease
But I seen to many lives cut short by the steez
Mo money mo problems buying stones to relieve

Special thanks to @Troisnyx, @LD-W and their respective communities for helping bring us together musically, @TaintedLogic and @ChronoNomad for the multiple competitions you've run through the years. Without those we probably never would have known who each other were. It's been a great ride. Happy to see it through together!
