Mariana Trench + Faceplant
Damian Wolf
[Mariana Trench] I remember when I was telling you about my favorite vices Don't you give me that look of pity I know just what's in your head Oh yes I know That mind of yours I think I understand Perhaps I'm not supposed to tell you Go search for yourself The deepest parts of you The Mariana Trench holds the keys Holes inside yourself, and the corridors between The Mariana Trench holds the keys I've been told before Many times by people who don't really get it Still I've told myself The things I want will soon be mine if I work hard Twisted by the rage I think that I should keep my mouth shut Go search for yourself The deepest parts of you The Mariana Trench holds the keys Holes inside yourself, and the corridors between The Mariana Trench holds the keys The Mariana Trench holds the keys I am an open book you can't read I am an open book you can't read [Faceplant] Shadows that walk on two legs, and trees that bloom inside cocoons Rusted towers I can’t climb The feeling of some warmth In simpler times we’d hold close Their eyes have scarred my tired mind Slip and fall I am sick of all the time gone down the drain Plus now I’m bleeding Baptized in mixed reception Laughing at me Just you wait, dick Rusted towers I can’t touch Their smiles still sting, and I feel cursed Slip and fall I am sick of all the time gone down the drain Plus now I’m bleeding I’ve decided to say fuck it Guess I’ll find out Here goes nothing

Estranged
Damian Wolf
Saw your face in a blank room I couldn't feel my legs Someday Just not right now I know that it is all gone I cannot ever quit Someday Just not right now Still a broken clock is right It is right two times a day And I know that it’s been tough But you’re making it harder It's my fault And we fall in circles, testing patience, till the kettle blows Still we fall in circles, toxic whirlwinds, till the kettle blows

Contrarian
Damian Wolf
Well I suppose it’s good enough for Drifting off in the crusty back of a car somewhere They say Fun I won’t quite say I know what’s best cuz We’re all strung up The storm has swept up all the studs I seek truth I am not as I was before My whole life has taken on new form Save me Save us Save me Save us I won’t think like them I won’t be like them I won’t be like them I won’t be like I won’t be like you I won’t be like you I won’t be like you I don’t care Fuck you

Flying Colors
Damian Wolf
Befuddled I gazed awhile And I grew, and yearned Eleven thousand times this way You’ll try Crisscross and double-dog I swear A rapture to box my thoughts As I grew, I screamed Eleven thousand times this way Don’t cry So pale and ghoulish I will find A naked husk of hope left I say it all the time Now I must find my feet A vessel for our hatred Eleven thousand times this way You’ll try All scarred up from my junkie days

Juicer
Damian Wolf
I haven’t got a reason I don’t want to debate it I want to nurture my shame, and waste my time some more I’ve spent all of me Crank the sugar to my brain You want to be respected May wanna keep me complacent I don’t detest the logic Just want my bag of drugs You wanna keep me dependent Stay the fuck back I said so I want to nurture my pain, and waste my time again I've used up my being Get creative Blast this shit Sculpt the perfect pretty face Mold the final idol Sculpt the slowest sloppy daze Feels quite suicidal

Brutus
Damian Wolf
Spicing up your time, and brightening up your life None of your friends arrived How did you think it would go? Finding something sticking Quite jagged from your backside A shiv from your best bud again Again I'm not surprised When the walls start to collapse you never show Funny, you didn't act this way before But every time I pull the drapes back You’ve transformed a little more Gangly and demented Deep inside Deep inside Right outside Right outside I'm not surprised When the walls start to collapse you never show Funny, you didn't act this way before But every time I pull the drapes back You've transformed a little more Gangly and demented Funny, you didn't act this way before But every time I pull the drapes back You've transformed a little more Gangly and demented I'm not surprised Not surprised I'm not surprised I'm not surprised

I Know What They'll Say
Damian Wolf
Soft fall The info I received has proved to be invalid Roll off It never seems to matter what I try to tell you Crossed off, but I can infer what is being said behind shut doors And I just laugh It matters not Things always change Change Some other problem Some other outrage I know what they’ll say

"Giving a shoutout to young Damian Wolf. Creating his own unique, great music." - Steve Stevens (Billy Idol)

"Sounds really authentic, nicely discordant where it needs it and great riffs throughout. Voice sounds killer and some of the changes are nicely unexpected and make for a well rounded, interesting and enjoyable listen. I'm a fan!" - Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines, The Cult)

"What a great album! All the tunes are well-composed, recorded, mixed and delivered with sustained and compressed guitar drive; flowing soft to hard, intense vocals; fueled with non-stop melodic and rhythmic emotional determination." - Jeff Jeffrey (Cue Recording)
