Strangelove 04:10
In the rain soak Tried and misspoke Color brimming in my eyes Skip the tear duct Leave it taped shut Sweat these thoughts into the sky We were never here Never stood palms bare Taking in the words of the Tongue tied You had never sung Gazing down a sincere gun Words your father scribed Take this cold hard ground and I will stay here. We were never here Never beat, teeth bared Reeling in the words of the Tongue tied We had never sung Gazing down a sincere gun Words your father scribed Take this cold hard ground And I will stay here Love and hope in sound To decay here Everybody knows. Know better.

Take a matter of time into your hands Sick for all reflection's sake You make up all your plans We'll be walking alone Through neighborhood detours I've been whispering troubles to myself Trying to fit my fingers through the memories I regret As your favorite song turns in your head Wide awake, fractured sounds escape mine And we're Cutting words out Pasting thoughts in Cutting words Pasting anything but conversation Sorry, I might repeat myself You're a crowd and I've been known to run My points on stealth I've been sleeping alone Twirl your fingers through my hair You can ask love I really don't mind You can speak Just a little unkind I'm boat rocked In spite of your brine I'm a misquote To float on your sine You're setting And I'm settling in

Morlocked 04:26
Your eyes on the headlights Making islands where the shadows go You know me by my first name You tell me what I don't know Wind in your voice Blood in my hands Matching lines without noise And the ground recedes again Clawing for the light of the sun

You think you've got the right to bend But you don't even like the trends You say you've seen them make the stars But you won't even suspect them They say you've got the right to move But you won't even play the suit They say your father would fight the moon But you won't even reflect him The colder seasons have set in All more the reason to step in my head And your believing is stretched thin But it soothes how new is the stream we stepped in

about

Damage Over Time is the first original EP by dot.darkness, excluding two previous albums of the Christmas variety. As a result, it marks a very important moment in dot.darkness history. While pushing out one remix, cover song, or single after the other is tons of fun, such a variety of tracks doesn't quite get to the core of the band. It was awesome to stumble across a Charizard card as a kid, but you weren't cool unless you had a Venusaur and a Blastoise to complete the set. Damage Over Time is the result of several months of work, and reveals the less-cynical edge of the band, resulting in sweet beats and many feels. It really is the first "complete set" we've had the pleasure of releasing to you fine ladies and gentlemen. Dark 80's electronica vibes form the creamy nougat center, and a healthy topping of chiptunes, funk, and electric guitars round out the rest. Josh's smooth vocals, catchy melodies, and provoking lyrics are the tall glass of milk to wash it down.
