lyrics

Used to tear me wide open
And now it barely leaves a dent
Ever since I quit gauging my days
By how well the nights were spent

Went to work on the removal
Of attaching my self-worth to other people’s approval
In the midst of a deep dive
I deconstructed the assumptions of this life

Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll is what you’ve come to think
It looks more like a two-star motel, pissing in the sink
Forget everything you think you know
Baby, I just wanna Rock 'n Roll

I used to place all my hopes in
The fallacy of one narrative arc
Turns out you don’t need to be immersed in misery
Just to make good art

I felt free to finally let go
As soon as I lifted the veil of my ego
In that moment I saw
My greatest strength had become my fatal flaw

For reconnecting with my passions
Self-deprecation is going out of fashion
The myth of the artist is a big black hole
I'd just rather fuel my soul

Just when I thought it was time to give up on you
After countless conversations on what to do
The answer revealed itself on the edge of the knife
While the music ruined me, it also saved my life

audio/rocketry Edmonton, Alberta

Friendship has been a pillar of audio/rocketry’s blistering rally cry from the start, with the core duo of Joe Vickers and Matthew Murphy expanding to accommodate a rotating crew of some of Edmonton’s hardest working musicians. After a decade of touring the continent, the band finds itself distilled to its strongest bonds and purest sound with the addition of Blair Drover and Jerome Tovillo. ... more
