lyrics

Lucy didn't say she wouldn't run away. She never said that it wasn't temporary. A clarified end, but we can still be friends. I'll never see her again. Your moon eyes wide as I apologize for taking up the time you could have spent ending your life or mine. Sick to the touch. How long have they whispered within your gut? How long have you listened? The voice signals an end to the songs we played. The charade. This dull and rusted blade we scraped against our necks all night and day. Eviscerating, gouging self portraits in your frame. Envious of the attention, I do the same. In a blink our eyes roll back in our heads into the gaze of someone else with whom we could decay. Lie down, blister and flay. This storm will not abide until it's had its say. The blood it left to swoon upon the page. It remained a lie on the day we died, these counterfeit plans for February. Amputate the thought of this cherished rot, you can't tie a tourniquet in a lover's knot. Lucy never said that she'd watch us play dead, she never visits the mortuary. She couldn't stand the smell of this sour hell she never realized was voluntary. These weighted words shortening every breath. Second best. You're standing on my chest confessing he's the only one with whom you're committed to undress. Your heart's been repossessed.

The Prescribed Alberta

An emo/post-hardcore quartet hailing from Camrose, Alberta. The Prescribed takes the desparate sounds of bands like Jimmy Eat World and Brand and adds a progressive tilt and a harder edge. Complex chord progressions and unique song structures enrich the heavy-hearted lyrics to create something new.
