Story Behind The Song
Disco Machine Gun was the first "official band" that I was in that was creating original music. The very first band I was in was a cover band but I always consider this my beginnings. Me and Michael Roberts had already gone through a couple projects together and we would change the name whenever we started with a different drummer bc unfortunately, we went through a few. All of them were unbelievable drummers, especially, Eric, Angel & Scott, rip Scott. We came up with this song in 2009. It had been a minute since I had heard it and my playlist decided to play it. This has always been one of my favorites that we did so I redid the song in the direction my songs have been going lately and I think it came out good.

Lyrics
It started slow
A flawless span
The devil and you
Lying hand in hand
The war was done
All ties now frayed
No Sarasota kiss
Or ticker-tape parade
An impostor Christ
Under crown of faux
His urine doused vestment
Casts messianic glow
Assassination scheme
Deicide Zion
The trinity dissolved
Of father, ghost, and son
How does it feel
To know
That he wants you
And nothing else
Nothing else
The boy wants you
And nothing
It's easier
You both have aged
Trigger fingers twitch
So it's bombs away
Her bed looks warm
Can't help but sleep
All the lies you've lied
Become secrets to keep
I fell down near the bottom
While the smoke turned my lungs gray
She was my lover, my respirator, a perfect sin, my ricochet
How does it feel
To know
That she wants you
And nothing else
Nothing else
The girl wants you
And nothing
