We reach Out for Hands that push back Part of The mob Rules for attack What do I see Out from your eyes? Just a Good man Dead from your lies Just smile and pretend that everything’s fine As we sink below the waterline Sit down Keep still Do as we say Don’t speak Dumb sheep Just walk away Stand up Fight back Blood can be lost As long As we Acknowledge the cost Just smile and pretend that everything’s fine There is no use in simply holding a sign As we sink below the waterline

Deep breath, start again There is nothing to lose The cost of your complacency Will leave a silent bruise Footprints upon the backs Of the ones that they oppress Do you think that you’ll be missed When they come for your last breath? Chrous I don’t care Doesn’t matter if I look away Anyway… Tune out, fall in place Tow the company line The cost of their security Is the loss of yours and mine Cry out, demand a change Imagine what we could do One voice, a massive fist That would punctuate our view Chorus I don’t care Doesn’t matter if I have my say Anyway… Sit back, just relax There’s nothing left to fight The cost of our passivity Was the voice that was our right Are you happy on your couch In front of an enormous screen? If not just flip the switch And enjoy a different scene…

about

FirstForgiveness is a break from the more personal songs under the Necrolytic Goat Converter name. A little more catchy, a little less dour, still very much DIY and lo-fi, as the setup and equipment used to record are exactly the same. The title "A Progress of Sorts" comes from me trying to progress as a songwriter. The EP part should be self explanatory.

Over the next month there will be 2 more songs added - one full-fledged, and one short segue. And I'll probably re-do the chorus to "Apathy of the Downtrodden" about another dozen times until I'm satisfied (they're terrible - fair warning). Then it's back to NGC.

about

FirstForgiveness New York, New York

Started as Necrolytic Goat Converter, only to realize when you're one guy you can pretty much have as many bands as you want.

Still one guitar (Yamaha PAC611) plugged into one amp (Line6 Spider III) plugged into GarageBand via a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 bought used from a friend.

Thanks for checking out one man working through his demons, badly, through the music that he loves.
