Rare demo that I got from Stugard (thanks!), this one never made it onto a CD and, as such, is unmastered...but damn, what a great song it is. Be sure to check out Ice Choir and Ablebody, the new groups that formed in the wake of The Depreciation Guild breaking up.

*Kurt was cool enough to hook me up with the lyrics!

Ant

You carry this grain through the green

And you, drone

You carry your seed to the queen

Wasp

You carry this poison you make

And I

I just carry the burden and weight

Burden and weight

A thousand mistakes

A burgeoning weight

A line to the slate

Burden and weight

A thousand mistakes

A burgeoning weight

A line to the slate

Which perilous insect am I? Do you know me?

Which perilous insect am I? Can you tell me?

Lark,

You follow the song of the flight

And you, bat

You follow your echoes through night

And you, owl

You follow the mouse's swift tracks

And I

I've just followed down all the wrong paths

And every path

It leads to the sea

The wax it will melt

Fall into the sea

Every path

It leads to the sea

The wax it will melt

Fall into the sea

Which flightless, dumb angel am I? Do you know me?

Which flightless, dumb angel am I? Can you tell me?

And every dream

Is a bright flare that's

too hot to hold

The light I've chased

Has punished these false

wings I've been sold

It's bringing me down

And every dream

Ends up in the sea

The wax it will melt

And float out to sea

Every dream

Ends up in the sea

The wax it will melt

And float out to sea

Which perilous insect am I? Do you know me?

Which flightless, dumb angel am I? Can you tell me?

Well, it's a pity that he doesn't like his own song, I can't understand why, when he puts so much soul in the song... it's beautiful to hear, it's like old loves gone and disappeared, you can dislike the people you loved and find yourself an idiot for having loved them so much whereas they abandoned you but you cannot deny and dislike the beauty of the lofty feelings you felt, emotions you felt that you find back, conveyed with poetry & lyric expression of love & other nice feelings in music...

I've always liked the vulnerable sensibilities of his style. He doesn't even like this song, but 'ey, what does he know? Haha, never trust an artist's opinion of their own work, we're all delusional perfectionists.

Thank you for the lyrics, they're beautiful but very sad, however the singer manages to make all this look nice, with his sweet voice, as if it were a lullaby. Great band, great song, thank you very much again for the upload and the lyrics, it's precious :)

No prob', I'm thinking about uploading more music onto this channel again, it's originally what I used it for. Updated the description with the lyrics.

Did someone say The Depreciation Guild? Honestly, I cannot get enough of this band, and I truly get excited with any new (unused) materials that comes out. I appreciate your hard work in finding these hard-to-find tracks, Lodey. You're an all-around awesome guy.
