about
This demo was recorded in February 2020 and is the first song we wrote together as a band.
lyrics
Deadweight, each passing second, I’m sinking.
No place for me on the surface.
I don’t know what is happening, I don’t know what is happening.
If luck's on my side today, I’ll have a head start in this chase.
Cat and mouse lasts forever for some. I know I’ll lose. I pray it finds me soon.
Cat and mouse lasts forever I need to run or I’ll lose. I’ve exhausted this doomed route.
Deadweight, crammed pockets, with half-written apologies and things I can’t forgive in rushed cursive.
The hourglass is cracking, the hourglass is cracking.
If this list spans the world, where do I begin?
Cat and mouse lasts forever for some, I’ll lose. I pray it finds me soon. Cat and mouse lasts forever nowhere to run I’ll lose. I’ve exhausted this doomed route.
Shoes torn, follow the flakes from my feet, scattered in places, I’ve become undone.
Shoes torn, follow the flakes from my feet, like the frayed laces, they come undone.
Shoes torn, follow the flakes from my feet, scattered in places, I’ve become undone.
Shoes torn, follow the flakes from my feet like the frayed laces.
One by one, they come undone, one by one.
One by one, they come undone, I’ve become undone.
Cat and mouse lasts forever for some, we’ll lose. It’s gonna find us soon.
Cat and mouse lasts forever, the running has just begun, we’ll lose, no end to this doomed route.

Hair-rising, raspy unrelenting screamo that swings at you from all directions and will demand all your attention. You will keep wanting to replay “Mirrors and Hallways” & “Not Going Away”. incaseyouleave
“Soon” captures a nice blend of discordant screamo with a melodic midwest-mathy interior. We love “Cockroaches I” and “Library”. Prepare to be swept up in all sorts of rhythms & sounds. incaseyouleave
Cinematic Midwest twinkly gruff emo that packs a punch with its pristine melodic loops and powerful walls of guitar. Our favourite songs are “Jaune” and “Black Sands”. incaseyouleave
