A New Thing

I am pressed
For a hit
Haven't felt
For a bit
Nothing then
Nothing now
No one here
I can tell
I feel numb
My senses dulled
A silent cry
To be lulled
A new thing
A new thing
A new thing
A new thing
Let's be out
To unfeel
Does this dare
Meet mind's eye
Keep awake
Like before
The storm recurred
In mother's sky
Are we pushed
To feel sane
To unsee
'Neath this high
A new thing

Do You Know

Do you know
What you did
Wasn't cool
Bet you do
Do you know
'Bout my shame
Faced everyday
'Fraid to name
Do you care
For other girls
Take their trust
Turn their worlds
Do you feel
You're justified
Think the law
Will run and hide
Do you see
How I tried
To feel your love
Guess it's dried
Do you know (...do you know)
Do you care (...do you care)
Do you feel (...do you feel)
Do you see (...do you see)
Do you know (...do you know)
Do you care (...do you care)
Do you feel (...do you feel)
Do you know
Your disease
Brought me down
To my knees
Do you care
Your selfish lies
Made me cry
So many times
Do you feel
Apathy
Your empty husk
Absorbed my wings
Do you see
How I hide
To save myself
From pain inside
Do you know (...do you know)
Do you care (...do you care)
Do you feel (...do you feel)
Do you see (...do you see)
Do you know (...do you know)
Do you care (...do you care)
Do you feel (...do you feel)

Dysfunctional
02:57

A threat to ruin
Hall pass denied
What’s years I’ve suffered when they think it's worthless?
I choke on needless pills
Quiet rooms aren't silent
Void interaction
Give numb to my senses and sleep through the pain
There's no one I can please
Bystander watching me
Turning your head
Bed sheets are strangling me
My healer has fled
I'm Dysfunctional
Forgive me I can't stay
Can you hear me?
Can you cure me?
Deny my reality
Fault my strength
Put on a fake face
Smile and no one will know
Shoulders are heavy
Waiting too long
Say nothing is wrong
A fatal fallacy
Bystander watching me
Turning your head
Bed sheets are strangling me
My healer has fled
I'm Dysfunctional
Forgive me I can't stay
Can you hear me?
Can you cure me?
I'm Dysfunctional
Forgive me I can't stay
Can you hear me?

I Saw Me

Struggling blind (...you saw me)
Echoed cries (...you saw me)
Tattered mind
Try to escape (...you saw me)
Shadowed place (...you saw me)
Vision scaped
With familiar voice (...you saw me)
Ear to your words (...you saw me)
Staggered choice
Through the cloud (...you saw me)
Gaze returned (...you saw me)
Shattered crowd
You saw me, and I saw you
Looking into my own eyes, I saw me
Not too late (...I saw you)
Reintegrate (...I saw you)
Renew my slate
I could possess (...I saw you)
Sign of faith (...I saw you)
To not oppress
Match in the mirror (...I saw you)
Dampened fear (...I saw you)
Hope was near
Took a stand (...I saw you)
Reprimand (...I saw you)
Extend a hand
You saw me, and I saw you
Looking into my own eyes, I saw me
You saw me, and I saw you
Looking into my own eyes, I saw me

Zombie
02:18

Can't think, mind's powered down
Can't see through distant clouds
Can't hear, these thoughts are loud
Can't move, can't feel my feet
Can't breathe, my lungs have seized
Can't shake my sanity
Walk through life through the ups and the downs
While asleep in my mind to drown out the sounds
Like a zombie
Can't sleep, dreams straight from hell
Can't fight this limbo spell
Can't flee my demon’s cell
Can't feel, I'm buried deep
Can't hide from my defeat
Can't live among the sheep
Walk through life through the ups and the downs
While asleep in my mind to drown out the sounds
Like a zombie
Is this real?
Is this a dream?
Stuck looking through a stranger's eyes
This can't be life
I can't be numb
Can't feel alive if I'm not living
Like a zombie

Victrix Calgary, Alberta
Connecting the dots between bedroom folk, chamber pop, and the darker side of dream pop, Victrix weaves together the more confessional side of classic songwriting with a strong penchant for synths, drum machines, and tastefully deployed melodic ornamentation, betraying an abiding interest in the granular details of songcraft and arrangement, very much inhabiting its own particular sonic universe. ... more
