Seek A New Sin

by Osiris Saline

To Live 04:04
Brightness enveloped loves lost days without a say Distorted pages holding our centerfolds Tore like time as fractures formed To lose is to live and thoughts they do give in To live so long to swoon yet time ceases so Archives and memoirs fall deprived as new paint dries Ink on skin, settling in Fades away with sun-burnt greys To lose is to live and thoughts they do give in To lose is to thrive and long may life abide To live as sight deprives but beauty rests inside To live so long to swoon yet time ceases so soon

Stitches 03:24
Speak! Oh what happened before You fell through the door And dropped to your knees With those conspiracies? Now have some stitches... Stay still in the chair We'll close the gash in your hair And stop the staining And find the ghosts you've been hailing
3.
Rotting, spinning, clogging the sink With the multitude of strands that seem to think A lawless contentedness that stomps with glee We don't know what we see Oh it burns, we wash it down The taste, obsessed with this town Every sinew of vertical awareness In these malcontents that speak of unfairness While elder things and under lords Raffle reality supplied by their cords That link the power plugged in skulls And warps existence of those who horde Their senses have moved to new grounds Far away from these societal sounds "Don't you tread on me" growled the pebbled pathway "I thought that was the racist snake?" The slow one huffed, shook, and replied "No, my shell is my Spine for fuck sake" And I noticed the greasy layers ahead The tortoise and the hair
4.
Slipped up in the same spot Born of one mind, sleep deprived Different bodies run to the clock A siren's wail on the job Look so sweet so move for days Checked out, judged You better run away The Primordial Cruise "We won't judge you cuz we love you And all that you do! Unless it's true About the pain and the fighting For your life, cuz that's unlike us And what we represent" And you're unliked when you stand for something people wanna kill "So we wish you death, the illest of wills" "Are you fixed you freak? Are you smeared over the streets? Your blood runs pink white and blue But we want red so we accuse Every aspect of your past, present, future It's life is crass so burn It down" Like institutes that taught so much We're swept aside, oxygen deprived
5.
Snuff 03:47
Take some advice We can't sink twice Just once and we drown These graveyards, these towns Be bound so close To those who had chose To love us for days With confusion displayed Take our hands That wither like sand Remember the stories Hidden tears, the worries Those who might love May lash out in shame And take a new life To deny a new name Snuffed out Mind your steps On those stairs It's easy to fall As easy to share Bind all the fear "My love, my dear" Lock it away A stalwart soliloquy And who might know Will never share They won't break your trust But won't always be there He laughs, he films The dying gasps And preys upon Trust's final lapse
6.
Left on a sun-drenched Sunday And gasped at Wednesday's wake up storm Different steps in the same shoes Sunburnt, same fatigues, these weeks Stumble into showers, and limp with lost memories The same soul's cycles for what the mirror sees Who and what are side by side Piece by piece with alibis Where you where and what was crossed A labelled bridge of what becomes Tied it down, and smiled with glee What they saw, not what I dream A woman in half, dysphoria will deem

Getting Sick 02:13
I'm getting sick and tired of myself Though I'm bored of listening to anybody else I'm getting sick and tired of myself I'm getting sick and tired of myself I'm bored of hearing your same empty art Filling up the archives of my failing heart I'm getting sick and tired of it all I'm getting sick of hearing medical Though you hate when I speak of mortality I'm getting sick and tired of waiting I'm getting sick and tired of self depreciating I'm bored of hearing that it's too much Of dealing with romance within new found lust I'm getting sick and tired of ill health I'm getting sick and tired of leaning on the shelf That you have bought and filled with voices of the dead That you read and recite without a thought in your head I'm getting sick and tired of the tears I'm getting sick and tired of simulated fears That we wear on our sleeves to show that we're dismayed Until the blood comes pouring out of skin that's been flayed By the wisdom of the nightmares we have fallen for Before we kick the sculptures of the brainwashed out the door I'm getting sick and tired of myself I'm getting sick and tired of everybody else Is this a note of sadness for when I drift away Or a poem of anger that I recite every day I'm getting sick and tired of myself
9.
It's late tonight Been up for far too long I can't express Those words caught in my breath The name inside That's all my supply Why am I still here Bred completely out of fear I'm lying to myself And to everybody else Who and what I want Is what I already had Threw it all away Pissed my life away I'm broken here in a sweat Driven to forget A life of ill regrets I set a fire to my nest For a dream I once possessed And my life's carrying on To the same old song Same old simple words Same old scorched worth And I can't hang on To the same old lines With simple reasons and rhymes I miss her every day A single reason to stay Let's fly away

I love Seek A New Sin.

From the songwriting nods to Scott Walker (To Live), Cardiacs (Stitches), Leon Rosselson (Getting Sick), Death & The Stooges & other usual classic punks (Primordial Cruise), Cripsin Glover across vocal choices (Tortoise & The Hair)/tone changes in the tracklist, there’s a lot packed in.

The production is generally something I really appreciate, but have heard more than enough claims that my vocals are muffled, or the drums are way too low compared to my other solo work, but that’s sorta the point of a lot of these songs, innit?

In lyrical terms this is a collection of horror and trauma despair delivered by a trans antifascist queer. You live through a lot when you happen to be that, and art should be inspired by more than making nice sounds in the easiest way possible, in as broad a way as possible. Art is more than a backing track to life, and there’s so much more to art than homogeny.

The one thing I really dislike in (the original nine track album) is my tired read-singing voice on A Ballad Of Dysphoria. When I read directly from notes and lyric sheets I sound very Welsh, and when I’m tired the Welsh lilt surpasses the other accents I’ve acquired in my life. That in itself is fine, but the delivery is so at odds with how I’ve sounded in other songs, which almost makes me cringe, but I remember how tiring it was getting every vocal recorded over a few hours.

If you’re saying happy birthday to someone, consider delivering it in Welsh because it’s great. Penblwydd hapus i ti. Sounds like pen-blew-iff hap-is ee tea in my voice.
