about

This is the heavy, chugging song I've wanted to write for years. It was one of the initial tracks that set the tone for this album, before I was certain what it was going to sound like. The working title for Venus Aphasia was "I Don't Remember (I Can't Forget).

lyrics

Venus carved from a block of stone

With a hammer hand, this shattered bone

Vision so plutonic, made you wrong it

Seems unfair to moan about



The coarse inclusions in your skin

You know I don't believe in sin

She said "We're made to die alone,

A hammer on my bone"



Raise your hand like it's out of style

Kinda stings but you make me smile

I can't breathe and my skin's gone white

But hit me again, this could take all night



Venus down in a pit of stone

With a hammer hole through every bone

Choices so neurotic, shards did not fit

Seems obscene to pick apart



The splinters perforate your skin

I know I don't believe in sin

You think you're made to die alone

A hammer on my bone



Raise your hand like it's out of style

It kinda stings but you make me smile

I can't breathe and my skin's gone white

But hit me again, this could take all night
