BODIES GET BORED Life at the end of a fist Pucker up and shake it The parasite Is as good as its host The fruit is ripe Let's dictate its cost The parasite Is as good as its host Our bodies, they get bored They'll grow new limbs Just to touch some more, more Trusting little things From trunks of cars Refined sweetnesses All singled out For their main parts The parasite Is as good as its host The fruit is ripe Let's dictate its cost And everything gets put together All the time All the time Our bodies, they get bored They'll grow new limbs Just to touch some more, more More, more, more, more

OUR SPECIAL TOUCH Where do we go when the machines eventually turn off? For how long should we wait before fault line meets flatline? Neither too much Nor a lot, but This is ours It's what we've got Our special touch Worming its way in Our special touch Get used to see us in x-ray slides All light, no spark Our special touch Worming its way in Our special touch Neither too much Nor a lot, but This is ours It's what we've got Our special touch Worming its way in Our special touch Get used to see us in x-ray slides All light, no spark Get used to see us in x-ray slides All light, no spark 'Cause we're not givers, we're takers You should know better Not to seek comfort in strangers Our special touch Demanding and gnawing Our special touch Get used to see us in x-ray slides All light, no spark Get used to see us in x-ray slides All light, no spark Our special touch Our special touch Worming its way in

MINIATURE GARDENS Lower your shoulders All the way to the ground It's waiting, just waiting It's waiting, downtown Lower your shoulders All the way to the ground It's waiting, death's waiting It's waiting, downtown Not enough time Never enough time Not enough time Not enough Enough Enough Enough Lower your shoulders All the way to the ground It's waiting, just waiting It's waiting, downtown Lower your shoulders All the way to the ground It's waiting, death's waiting It's waiting, downtown Miniature gardens Lawn rolls out Leisure and comfort Bed doubles as a couch Miniature gardens And the lawn rolls out Leisure and comfort Bed doubles as a couch Not enough time Never enough time Not enough time Not enough Enough Enough Will we go there by candlelight? Will they scrub off our lies? Will loved ones be waiting? Or wave us goodbyes? Goodbye, goodbye Miniature gardens Lawn rolls out Leisure and comfort Bed doubles as a couch Miniature gardens And the lawn rolls out Leisure and comfort Bed doubles as a couch

IT’S CLOSING TIME It’s closing time Get back to your coffins Follow the paper trail Back to your tomb Go through the digits You can close the lid now We’ll still see you For what you are We’ll still see you For what you are It’s closing time Get back to your coffins What’s left to need For inherited sins? An updated mold? A new melting pot? Your eyes will adjust To this new light Oh, your eyes, We’ll still see you For what you are Your eyes will adjust To this new light We’ll still see you For what you are Your eyes will adjust To this new light We’ll still see you Get back to your coffins Did you read the fine print We sent you this memo Our calculated approach Based on: collective grief This is not hot shit, sincerely: Your latest market group Sold on kindness as a pose Almost certain… Your eyes will adjust To this new light Oh, your eyes, We’ll still see you For what you are Your eyes will adjust To this new light We’ll still see you For what you are Your eyes will adjust To this new light We’ll still see you It’s closing time Get back to your coffins It’s closing time Get back to your coffins

NIGHTS COME ALIVE Grow up to be thieves To be liars In an adult world Burnouts and enablers In an adult world To be more fuel for the fire more bones for the pyre To be Grow up to be thieves To be liars In an adult world Burnouts and enablers wear those ashes for when nights come alive play dress-up for the shadows flesh up from dirt Strap the pig onto the scaffold now tighten thospecse knots These nights give birth To new days dawning Split this skull and split this view Split this mouth To see something pure Split this skull and split this view Split this mouth To see something pure For when nights Come alive nights come alive shadows in your comfort zone nights come alive Nights come alive Split this skull and split this view Split this mouth To see something pure Split this skull and split this view Split this mouth To see something pure For when nights Come alive nights come alive shadows in your comfort zone nights come alive This place ain’t no seventh wonder It drags and pulls us under

DEAD DON’T CARE You can carry a world on your shoulders bear burdens heavier than boulders And you can channel Tears from each border You can carry the world on your shoulders You can take it all in You can have it your way You can wash your wounds With tears of self-pity Goodbye grief, And goodbye sorrow Looking forward To no tomorrows And all I know, is that these burial mounds are here to stay and that the dead, they don’t care they’re just gone they’re not here the dead they don’t care Descend to ascend Vessels gone Devoid of shame Lifted from sin Goodbye grief, And goodbye sorrow Looking forward To no tomorrows And all I know, is that these burial mounds are here to stay and that the dead, they don’t care And all I know, is that these burial mounds are here to stay and that the dead, they don’t care they’re just gone they’re not here the dead they don’t care they’re just gone they’re not here the dead they don’t care they’re just gone they’re not here the dead they don’t care

MS. MISANTHROPY All this misanthropy Did you miss it? Did you miss it? Oh miss misanthropy Did you miss it? Did you miss it? Haven't got your fill? We can see You're already lost But! What's in its belly Will be on our plates With pleasant cheering These shards of blues Are shattering inbetweens and demons That we keep in check for truth Got enough cynics To go around We can name each poison Before it leaves a mouth And all these white walls serve In a sanitated room Where a grief merchant Monitors our screens These shards of blues Are shattering inbetweens and demons That we keep in check for truth These shards of blues Are shattering inbetweens and demons That we keep to stay in line Get in line Get in line Why don’t you Get in line Why won’t you Get in line Get in line Why won’t you Get in line All the zeroes gotta stick together All the losers, we belong together All us failures gotta stick together Together, forever

about

Damokles Oslo, Norway

DAMOKLES, from Oslo, Norway, was founded late 2019, and has since its inception had a manic songwriting energy. Main inspirations stem from emotional 90s post-hardcore and related indie rock, mixed with dystopian 80s post-punk. Ferocious intensity, equal focus on toxic hooks and creative madness. DAMOKLES: Kristian Liljan, Ronny Flissundet, Gøran Karlsvik, Fredrik Ryberg, Jonatan Eikum. ... more
