​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.

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.

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)
​
ALL I NEED IS A WALK IN THE DARK
A PALE EMBRACE AND A MIDNIGHT SPARK
A DREAM TO LAST UNTIL YOU LEAVE
A COLD INFECTION UNDER MY SLEEVE

ALL I NEED IS A TENDER KISS
MOUNTAINS, SORROW, PLAGUES AND THIS
HALF ALIVE I’M DEAD TO YOU
HOLD MY LIFE IN PLEASANT VIEW

ALL THE WORLD SEES ME ALONE
COLD THE TOUCH AND CHILLED TO THE BONE
BLOOD INSIDE KEEPS ME SAFE
WARM AND SOFT WITH APATHY

ALL I NEED IS ALL I SEE
INSIDE OF YOU I’M OUTSIDE OF ME
ALL I NEED IS ALL I SEE
TURNED UP EARTH, FLOWER AND WEED

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
FROSTED 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
