Shock and Bad Taste A broken doll the hollow girl She has nothing inside worth fighting for It's all project an expression of suggestion to tell no one of her work Look at herself through herself There's nothing left inside her now The holes she made in her broken body left nothing to hold onto anymore Scream at myself I'm just a psychotic waste of space Hurting myself I'm just a tiny bit of shock and bad taste x2 I make demands that I can't keep Killing myself almost every time She lives inside her own fantasy and chances for escape are running out My final mark a reflection of you and your failure to keep me fighting for Knives and pills, polluted air seem to be all worth her dying for Scream at myself I'm just a psychotic waste of space Hurting myself I'm just a tiny bit of shock and bad taste x2 Wake up you're god damn proud Look at you your lost ghost spine Know that life is difficult, dark and complex Running away wont make your problems mine Fuck me til we know what to say to each other cos the problems are just living there in your mind Scream at myself I'm just a psychotic waste of space Hurting myself I'm just a tiny bit of shock and bad taste x2

Hell7 (American Mary) What have you done? What have you done? You took it all away from me And you left me to bleed alone Agony and beauty, living side by side Paints her face to hide her face Dead to the world inside American Mary I'll let you mould me control me I'll let you take out just a little bit more inside x2 You're making me, my fantasy Sculpt my hidden secret desires Outside for all to see (fuck) I'm scaring me Don't you fuck with me No mistakes but your mistakes Will be the death of me American Mary I'll let you mould me control me I'll let you take out just a little bit more inside x2 She's powerful she's dangerous, she sees such fucked-up sights But outside what she gives you is deserved and not a right The darkness it torments her but she loves it all the same Her art is with you always but you'll never know her name The pain she gives is fateful and you know it's gonna hurt Your scaring me my fantasy, stitch my desperate halves tonight American Mary I'll let you mould me control me I'll let you take out just a little bit more inside x2

about

Entitled “Neurotica: A Compendium of Tales Regarding Body and Mind”, there are some deep and dark stories to tell! Discussing themes that most other bands would not touch – such as self-harm, mental health and sexuality, without apology – this is music with a message…

DRAG’s music was born out of a love of the 90’s riot grrrl era, and their DIY ethic has been one of the defining features of the band since the beginning – it is therefore a natural progression that this debut album has been funded completely independently through Kickstarter. Following a successful campaign that saw them reach (and exceed) their target, the album was funded in September 2013. DRAG have sourced everything from independent companies where possible – and featured local artists’ work on their album art.

about

DRAGBirmingham Birmingham, UK

If Courtney Love had a threesome with Sid Vicious and a trashy drag queen in the dirty backstreets of Birmingham, the sound of DRAG would be their accidental lovechild. Addressing issues most other bands wouldn't touch - such as self-harm, eating disorders and gender confusion - without apology, DRAG bring an energetic and hard-hitting set to the stage. Dirty Guitars, Filthy Lyrics. ... more
