jools elphick Telling it like is - no frills - just considered lyrics stripped bare with that relentless intonation of the pain of observing a loved one slip away.... Listening to this was cathartic for me too - working away in my studio I let rip joining in here and there with my own soul-splitting howls ... Good job nobody else is around!!!! Thank you Favorite track: Fire In Her Head.

Faerytale Music A work of heart and soul! All at once gritty and smooth with caramel vocals in a lovely, low register that pours on down to the roots of true emotion. Open and fearless, this is. Favorite track: Morphine Crush.

Frozen 05:36
Frozen (C) 2016 Erika Bach All Rights Reserved. If I don't look back And I let it go If there's no return Who would ever know There's a snake in you Eating from the tree If it was her wish Then forget about me In the wilderness There's a hanging tree With a rope for her And a rope for me I erased the words That you wrote to me As a punishment For a mind that's free I am frozen on the last day Chorus: I am frozen I am hardening Be on my side I can't help it Can't get over it Not this time Was the last day Was the last time I would open up my mouth Not another word was spoken Since the love burnt itself out I am frozen on the last day Chorus

Over My Dead Body (C) Tuesday 29th March 2016 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved After colliding with all good intentions I put on my armour And raise my defenses Calling my father my mother where are you? They said I killed you but I really loved you Chorus: Give them blood and flesh Over my dead body Say I will confess Over my dead body Give all I possess Over my dead body You will have to take happiness over my dead body Bursting love open to show the infection I couldn't speak from the cruel deception Calling my father my mother where are you? Into silence, we throw what we need to Chorus

My Nervous Breakdown (C) 2016 Erika Bach All Rights Reserved Oh life Oh life Help me live through you My nervous breakdown No time No time Only moments away from truth Chorus: I could run but there's no point There is no love where I come from Body bags 5 miles from heaven 7 heads are not forgiven I could run but there's no point There is no love where I come from Oh why Oh why Do we crash like planes falling from the sky Each time Each time We fall down and hurt ourselves Chorus Your will Your will Overpowered me Pinned me to the ground Oh life Oh life Help me live through you My nervous breakdown My nervous breakdown

Keep You Warm (C) 2016 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved Will find your way back home Through the morphine find the hole That holds and keeps your body warm Hold on tight and don't let go Chorus: There will be no roses for your weary head There is only darkness and shadows in your bed There will be no daylight following the storm There is only morphine to keep you warm I'll keep the devil from the door Through the morphine skin is torn I wanted end while I was sleeping But waited for the last the breathing in Wait I'm not ready I'm going to breathe life back into you Chorus Wait I'm not ready I'm going to breathe life back into you

Those Things 05:31
Those Things (C) 2016 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved. So little silence inside of my head 10 horses riding through the wilderness I cut off my charm so you could like me The key has fallen through my fingers A little secret that you didn't tell Now no one wants me Knows what I could be She was the only one who could ever tell Fire wood and fire burn down olive branches down to the ground Chorus: I don't want to know I don't want to know why You said those things to me You think you know but you don't know me I'm not the image you see in your mind Can't make me into who you want to No matter how you twist and turn the tide I am not like you and will not choose to follow the army or your apathy You're shooting down the stars that shine on me Letting in darkness to change how I feel Chorus

Fire In Her Head (C) 2016 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved. Fire in her head Makes it hard to sleep Liar you feel bad You were hardly here What did you say To make them be so cruel What did you do To make me such a fool Fire in her hands Makes them hard to hold You took my everything Before her skin turned cold Where were you When she called out your name And who were you When she was scared of you to stay Fire in her mouth Makes it hard to speak Liar you know the truth I gave my everything I gave my everything I gave my everything

Falling Down 04:03
Falling Down (C) 2016 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved All the years that I have missed All the love and all the bliss I came back to find that I had been gone too long Seen through eyes that only see who they wanted me to be Help me walk away I will never be that strong No one speak It's better this Than a cruel bitterness Was I sleeping all these years to not know anyone I came home to give my heart but you tore it all apart Help me shut my mouth Don't say what they have become Chorus: Falling down Falling down Where are you now I'm falling down All I ever wanted All I ever needed Unconditional love To feel it What was there intention Fucked up interaction I can't take it I can't even fake it No one here to love me No one here to know me Unforgettable Just how mean they could be Now that I am silent Now that I said goodbye Punish me Make me cry Chorus

Bleeding Sorrow Bleeding Sorrow Bleeding Sorrow I remember the smell of the rain Before Armageddon comes again Bleeding out Bleeding in Future tripping Lemon drops And sin Bleeding sorrow Bleeding sorrow Chorus: Down so low let yourself go Take your happiness below Run don't walk into the fire Watch your spirit dance on the wire Are you still breathing Are you still breathing Are you still breathing Are you still breathing Chorus Bleeding sorrow Bleeding sorrow

Morphine Crush Deep into the water Muddy to my chest Waiting for Poseidon He buries all the blessed I call to her one last time Before the breathing ends But she is deep in morphine My cries are lost again Take hold of all your senses This journey will steal your soul Will take you to the devil For wanting her to go The silence interrupted By gasping out for breath You close your eyes and beg the dark To not take happiness The rain it pours relentless Crashing into glass The thunder roars from heavens That will not hear her calls The lightning strikes the conscious Into unconsciousness Never to return her to my bosom nest Cry oh cry my darling I will not forget All the hope and fury when our eyes first met I love you in the hollow The hole left in my heart I love you for the last time Before death do us part (C)2016 Erika Bach.

about

The writing of Morphine Crush has been a cathartic experience. Music is such a healer despite it opening wounds and making me touch them with my bare fingers.


"The fear of pain can hurt more than pain itself, and for those who look on and listen to the laboured breaths puffed from the chest as life extinguishes in yet another body, morphine becomes the quiet which let’s us tell ourselves this is peaceful, this is the way we should all leave life, but the struggle continues under the veil of it, keeping us oblivious and hopeful that there is no suffering, not even for us."
