lyrics

Erika, we've been looking everywhere for you now Erika

When you come back home will you be wearing this bomb?
Will you be willing to pretend?

That your engine don't mind,
That your veins ain't full of bromide,
That you don't mind the second time.

Erika, was it your mind you lost at home?
Do you need another, another

When we talk alone we will be sharing this throne
And don't forget that where you're from is the last one.

That you ain't been satisfied,
That your love ain't been amplified
That you don't mind the seventh time.

Erika, was it your mind you lost at home?
Do you need another, another?

We've been casting rays, catching strays with this gaze
And when I catch her then she stays
Lord knows that when I get her back home
That the power of the Lord almighty can cut out this sick society
Fill it in with holy thoughts and she can be with us

Erika, we've been looking everywhere for you now
Do you know if the others tried to hide it?
Erika, was it your mind you lost at home?
Do you need another, another?
Erika will you be fine alone?
Do I need to lock that door, Erika?

Dead Kings of Norway recommends:

Central
by thermal features

Thermal Features has some of the most soothing (and jarring) music I've ever heard on a solo bass. Each piece is like a little portrait, deep in sound, but satisfying in its brevity. Dead Kings of Norway

Crystals in the Deep
by Crystals in the Deep

Crystals in the Deep is the other band that I make music with. It's darker and more laid back than Dead Kings of Norway. So far it's just the one album but we'll be writing another soon. Dead Kings of Norway
