sometimes less is more. our aBOOstic versions of certain songs take on an almost new identity when additional production is stripped away, leaving the soul of it's creation bare.
As we've been working on new material, this particular track hit hard. In such a simple state. While the final version may differ dramatically, or not much at all, we decided to release this in it's most fragile, demo state after we shared how deep it seemed to hit our emotions.
-
so, take this as a glimpse behind the curtain as you're hearing a very early draft/demo of 'Just Another Wednesday'.
Razor's track was recorded in her room with the built-in mic on her phone.
Squiggs vocal track happened as they were working out additional harmony/melody vocal ideas at their workstation with an sm7b mic, with a small amount of reverb on their voice from a temp. reverb while working out ideas.
Which means, while the track doesn't have polish to it, we did attempt to mix it to it's best ability given the sources, and not having initially planned at all to release a demo.
We hope you enjoy.
- There's also a lyric video on our youtube for it.
- trick or treat.

lyrics
I’d say I’m smiling on the outside
But that’s so cliche of me
Referencing hot topic tee shirt quotes
While I’m in my mid 30s
They say I should be grateful
For what this life has given me
But it’s nothing that I asked for
Because nothing in this life is free
The closer that I get to death the more I feel alive
Tell me why is suffering the one thing to remind me to keep trying
When there’s more drugs than memories, you start feeling ok
And when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down on me)
Well it’s just another Wednesday
And when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down)
Well it’s just another Wednesday
You wake up and you wash your face
and look into your eyes
And it’s all so strangely unfamiliar
you just can’t help but cry
And eating just feels like a chore
and work is agony
And there’s this pain deep in your stomach
From all those self destructive properties
The closer that I get to death the more I feel alive
Tell me why is suffering the one thing to remind me to keep trying
When there’s more drugs than memories, you start feeling ok
And when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down on me)
Well it’s just another Wednesday
And when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down...)
Well it’s just another Wednesday
Monday makes me wanna cry
(if i could...)
Tuesday just feels like a lie
(..then i would)
Wednesday's just the same old song
(if i could...)
Thursday's always just feel wrong
(..then i would)
Friday's only give false hope
(if i could...)
Saturday is just a joke
(..then i would)
Sunday comes and that’s the end
(if i could...)
Monday we all start again
(..then i would)
Everyday just feels the same
(if i could...)
Monotony thy name is pain
(..then i would)
It all weighs heavy on my brain
(if i could...)
it's slowly driving me insane
(..then i would)
There's a longing to be free
(if i could...)
But I don't know from what exactly
(..then i would)
A sinking emptiness in me
(if i could...)
For art, for music, just to be
(..then i would)
The closer that I get to death the more I feel alive
Tell me why is suffering the one thing to remind me to keep trying
When there’s more drugs than memories, you start feeling ok
when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down on me)
Well it’s just another Wednesday
And when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when it all just falls apart
And when it all just makes no sense
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when it all just breaks your heart
And when it all just feels too heavy
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when all you feel is hurt
And when you’d rather eat a bullet
(all comes crashing down on me)
Than face another day at work
And when it all just gets too much
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when all you do is cry
And when all you feel is pain
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when you just wanna die
And when everything is just too much
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when it gets too hard to breath
And when you just fucking hate yourself
(all comes crashing down on me)
And when you just wanna leave
The closer that I get to death the more I feel alive
Tell me why is suffering the one thing to remind me to keep trying
When there’s more drugs than memories, you start feeling ok
when it all comes crashing down
(all comes crashing down on me)
when it all comes crashing down
and when it all comes crashing down
(and it all comes crashing down)
Well it’s just another Wednesday.
