The Depreciation Guild - What Am I (Demo) - Video
PUBLISHED:  Sep 21, 2013
DESCRIPTION:
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?
