lyrics

“Ruler”

She needs to know
She’s gotta feel their pain
She breathes it in like summer rain
She needs to know
She’s gotta get it together
Here for the weather a way to go
She didn’t know
She felt like Joan of Arc
She felt their pain trying to make her dark
She didn’t know
She could control the weather
Make it better, be their tether.

Oh oh oh you don’t know
You can’t feel the pain
You can rip the veil apart
Oh oh oh you don’t know
You can feel the pain
You can rip the veil apart.

She fell in love
On the blackest night
She could’ve stopped it felt so right
She didn’t know
Only shadows and lip gloss
Bodies and rough talk, ready to fight
She didn’t know
She had to rip the roof off
Boil their heads off set them free
She didn’t know
She had all the power
To Make it better, better forever.

Oh oh oh you don’t know
You can’t feel the pain
You can rip the veil apart
Oh oh oh you don’t know
You can feel the pain
You can rip the veil apart

Oh hay, oh hey oh oh hey
Oh hay, oh hey oh oh hey
Oh hay, oh hey oh oh hey
Oh hay, oh hey oh oh hey

Oh why don’t you know?
Oh you’ll never forgive her
Never give honor back
Never intend to crack
The play is done again
The one you might have been in
The curtain goes up and down
But you never believed it
Give in to the rain today
And wash her pain away
She lies like a lion
But she lives like a ruler

about

Party Witch Portland, Oregon

A dark & dreamy power trio featuring Alicia J. Rose (Miss Murgatroid) on vocals, synth and accordion, Shawna Gore (Captain Vs. Crew) on drums, and Kitten Boggs (HMPH!) on bass. Rose’s witchwave melodies and rich alto soar over Gore’s thundering, moody beats and Boggs’s wicked undulations, conjuring song spells reminiscent of early Siouxsie, Missing Persons & Gary Numan. ... more
