Too Close to The Sun
The Simulacrum
[Verse 1: Nichole McCarver] I’ve grown so tired It’s always the same thing They feed you vomit And expect you to enjoy the taste You look around The nutrition’s just out of reach You turn your head back Devour their unholy meat [Chorus: Domesticatrix] I don’t want this anymore You don’t want this anymore What the hell are we here for Is gaining control such a chore [Verse 2: Nichole McCarver, Nichole McCarver & Domesticatrix] Stare into the TV Forget your better times Yell into the faux sea Forget your curiousity It’s hard to remember But I beseech you so Turn your brain on to let us go Open your eyes to let us go [Chorus: Domesticatrix] I don’t want this anymore You don’t want this anymore What the hell are we here for Is gaining control such a chore I don’t care for this anymore You don’t need this anymore What the fuck are we still here for Why do you live for such a bore [Spoken Word Outro: Nichole McCarver] These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall These wax wings flew too close to the sun More than just a man was involved But only one ignores before the fall Only one ignores before the fall Only one ignores before the fall

“war songs for the digital age”

‘sterilize’ is industrial rock project the simulacrum’s second studio record, and her first self-produced and self recorded
work. the album contains guest vocals from birmingham alabama’s very own Domesticatrix it is a much more jagged & angry sounding album than it’s older sibling iron lung, while keeping the same emotional desperation as it’s counterpart.
