Ruined Me from WAR by I Speak Machine
Touching again on religion - straight up rage about the damage done by religion and processing the pain…reveling in it, almost - perverse, but cathartic. The “blister at sunset” shouting at the end was half inspired by Jim Morrison at his most unhinged, “Celebration of The Lizard” era meanderings and the silly shouting, scaremongering & posturing that I remember from all the priests I remember as a kid. “Though I’m with you I am loveless”...I definitely never felt love from religion & no matter what I did, I was still at risk of the Devil's punishment. So fuck it. The damage sneaks up on you under a false pretense of beauty, a blister at sunset.
Also a very fun song to build - the big fuzzy bass line was created by me singing through a Korg MS20 pitched down to 32", and Dean did an especially wonderful job on the drums.

Lyrics
Open your mouth
Drop into the sea
I wanna drown & murder the seed
There is no need
no love lost for me
Open your mouth, erase me
& ruin me
You ruin me
I wanna run my mind off the road
Ruin my head & ruin my soul
The ministry screams
The deity burns
Bermuda hath borne the triangle
You ruin me
I am a blister at sunset
I am as good as your world gets
Though I’m with you I am loveless
This is as good as this world gets, yes
You ruin me
I am a blister at sunset
I am as good as this world gets
Though I’m with you I am loveless
This is as good as this world gets
