lyrics

I show up to your funeral
Though enemies innumerable
They wanna know if my attempts at art
Have hastened my decay
A demo tape in an open grave

Waiting at the Pearly Gates
You get handed one last demo tape
Sounded pretty good, I thought you'd say
It's a little too late to matter

Your obit eclipsed the shit upon the internet
When I went to see which songs you re-recorded next
And look at me, I got the only demo copies left
And I Thought that you might want 'em back

It coulda been good
But it would never be great
So why wasn't it good?
Why wasn't it?

A centuries gentrificate,
The Lady of the Lake
to the San Francisco Bay.
She finds me drunk at work,
my new band's disintegrate.
With your old guitar Excalibur.

Frontman haunting
your producer's house
Can't get the hissing
Of the snare drums out.
Becomes King Saul,
Excalibur's in my hands now.
And fade into obscurity.

Stare too long & posters stare back from the walls
I wasn't born here this is just where my engine stalled
And look around you it's just a bunch of caustic folderol
But you always sang those songs so well

It coulda been good
But it would never be great
So why wasn't it good?
Why wasn't it?

Indica In Decay image

Indica In Decay San Francisco, California

Ongoing synth rock opera from Ilan Moskowitz (Sad Snack) starring Indica - a wannabe musical superstar - who gains a magic guitar through a former frontman / lover’s suicide.
The Excalibur guitar writes perfect songs, unlocking Indica's dreams.
But it pits her against a twisted, sentient, songwriting A.I., and other desperate wannabes wishing to posses that power. ... more
