Daniel Cox (from the band LOVUR) and Sister Indica (creator of the podcast JOY BOMB, and audio melodrama Blazed All Our Lives) have joined forces on I TRIED TO ESCAPE, THE PAST IN MY TEETH. The 5 track EP was conceived by Sister Indica as a way to mark the 20th anniversary of her first album being released. I TRIED TO ESCAPE, THE PAST IN MY TEETH contains three tracks from Sister Indica’s debut as well as two previously unreleased songs, all re-recorded and re-imagined and filtered through Daniel Cox’s brilliant musical mind.

​Tracklist:

1. I WANNA BE NUMB
2. U NEVER CALL
3. ALL I NEED*
4. GOD IN MY EYES
5. SKINDIVER*

All lyrics & vocals by Sister Indica
All music by Daniel Cox

I WANNA BE NUMB
(Sister Indica, Daniel Cox)

NUMB...

EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANTED FROM ME
I GAVE IT TO YOU GLADLY...
ALL OF THE WAYS
THAT YOU NEEDED A FRIEND
I WAS THE BEST...

WANNA BE NUMB...
I WON’T FEEL YOU
I WON’T SEE YOU

SO MANY TIMES
I LONGED FOR YOUR VOICE
I STARTED TO ACHE SADLY
I REACHED OUT TO YOU
AND PRAYED FOR SOME STRENGTH
I NEED IT FROM YOU BADLY

OH I WANNA BE NUMB
SO I WON’T FEEL YOU
AND I WON’T SEE YOU ANYMORE
OH I WANNA BE NUMB

NUMB...
SO I WON’T FEEL YOU
AND I WON’T SEE YOU

U NEVER CALL
(Sister Indica & Daniel Cox)

YOUR ARMAGEDDON IS MY ENLIGHTENMENT
LEMON SORBET VODKA EXPLOSION
NEVER HAD THE GOOD LIFE, HOW COULD I WANT IT?
YOU TAKE THE TRUTH OUT OF ME BUT I ENJOY IT

YOUR PERSONA IS TOO DRY FOR ME
I NEED REFRESHMENT - SOMETHING TO PUT THE ‘BING’ IN ME
NEVER SWALLOWED ANYTHING
THAT I DIDN’T NEED
TO TASTE YOUR SAVIOR WOULD MAKE ME BLEED

YOU NEVER CALL...

ALL I NEED
(Sister Indica, Daniel Cox, E. Batten)
Lyrics coming soon...

GOD IN MY EYES
(Sister Indica & Daniel Cox)

I HELD YOUR FACE IN SHAKY HANDS
I TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU...YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
HOW DEEPLY I FEEL - THE DEPTH OF MY SOUL
I’D LIKE TO FORGET YOU BUT I’D LOSE CONTROL

I KNEW IT ONCE, I’LL KNOW IT AGAIN
THIS PAIN THAT YOU GIVE ME WILL NEVER END
I’M TIRED OF CRYING - MY EYES HAVE DRIED UP
I BEG YOU TO FILL ME BUT YOU DRAIN MY CUP

YOU WERE MINE YOU WERE A GOD IN MY EYES

WAS THIS YOUR IDEA PLANNED IN ADVANCE
YOUR CHANCE TO HURT ME WITH FAKE ROMANCE
OR ARE YOU JUST WOUNDED - A VICTIM LIKE ME
IF YOU’D JUST DROP YOUR ARMOR MAYBE YOU’D BLEED

YOU WERE MINE YOU WERE A GOD IN MY EYES

SKINDIVER
(Sister Indica, Daniel Cox, E. Batten)

SKINDIVER: TIME TO COME IN
SKINDIVER: TIME TO BEGIN

THIS IS THE WAY
INTO MY VEINS
COLD HANDS WILL CRUSH
THE EARTH’S GENTLE TOUCH

ALL THOSE WHO STAY
ARE DEAD EVERYDAY
BLACK IN BETWEEN F
ROSTED EXTREMES

SKINDIVER: TIME TO COME IN
SKINDIVER: TIME TO BEGIN

AS YOU WILL SEE
THESE WOUNDS ARE ALL CLEAN
SILENCE IS MINE
IT SOUNDS SO DIVINE
