about

Security Blankets, woven in fabrications.
They are surprisingly effective.
Comforting.
We clutch them with a death grip knowing our very sanity and survival depends on them.
Wrapping ourselves tight, we hide under them. Pulling them over your eyes to protect and shield us
from the brutality of reality, the chill of actuality and the horror of absurdity.
We hiss and spit at anyone or anything that tries to take it away from us.
Let the tug of war between sanity and reality begin!

To capture the mood of this song SuckerTrap ventures into the dark corners of experimental Art Rock
while maintaining an overall nouveau retro, edgy energy with poetic delivery and aesthetics.

lyrics

Tried to dig a grave just to see if I could,
They make it look so easy in Hollywood
Tried to shed my skin and start anew
But the mark of Cain keeps coming through

And this rock keeps whirling and hurling around
As we look to the heavens and pray to be found
Web of Lies keeps spinning, Round and Round
As the plot gets thicker and less profound

You can’t take it away, can’t take it away
All the promises of bliss, that keep me sane
You can’t take it away, can’t take it away
All the magical trinkets that ward off sin
You can’t take it away, can’t take it away
All the myth and the fiction I can’t explain
You can’t take it away, can’t take it away
All the bullshit and Crap I tell myself!!!!!
