about
This is a new version of the song Dead on the Inside, which originally appeared as the opening track on our debut album "We Are A Curse", released Spring 2017.
This song has been through many iterations but this version is closest to the original demo, which was sort of a T. Rex rip-off with sliding, snaky vocals.
For "We Are A Curse", the song was slowed down and transformed into more of a slow building, orchestral choir arrangement.
We wanted people that like the song to have either option so we've now recorded this version, which is much closer to the way we play it live.
To hear the original version of the song, listen to our album "We Are A Curse" on Spotify, Apple Music, or at thedreameaters.com

lyrics
Dead on The Inside
Walking the wastelands,
sinking in the quicksand.
Making surreal plans,
trying to get through.
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
Ever more sour,
slowly losing power.
Sinking ever downward
gasping for air.
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
Oh i forgot another secret,
so lost forever in my mind
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
Walking the wastelands,
sinking in the quicksand.
Making surreal plans,
trying to get through.
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
Ever more sour,
slowly losing power.
Sinking ever downward
gasping for air.
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
Oh i forgot another secret,
so lost forever in my mind
Dead on the inside.
Stepping on landmines.
I get so fried
trying to get through
