daysormay - Ego

Copied!

{intro}
Stepping out of my ego
Ego

{verse 1}
Coming in evil i might go off the rails
I might just burn him down and start from scratch
Take a dive, make a deal
To see how it feels
I might just test the waters, i might just pull out my hair
I just might pretend to be evil, see if anybody would care
Cause i bit the hand that feeds, only to find it was attached to me
It’s funny how i can be all i need, i am the best force in this body
Yeah yeah yeah i’m self-sustaining, glory-obtaining, i am the itch on your brain
I am the only way out, three faces stacked behind one, i’m the best of the sum

{chorus}
Everything’s so good now
And we’re doing just fine
So when i brеak down
Everyone will know why
I’m trying to help you
Don’t want us to diе
But you’ve got me confined

Everything’s so good now
And we’re doing just fine
So when i break down
Everyone will know why
I’m trying to help you
Don’t want us to die
But you’ve got me confined

(stepping out of my ego)

{verse 2}
I have to refine you, i turn your raw desire to conformity
And no i never liked you, but you’re only alive because of me
We can’t think like this, either we obey the world or we meet our demises
And hell is when you pluralize this, cause how many times do we have to digress?
How could you let this happen?
How could you let this fail so well?
I’m so used to rejection, i’ll probably bring a ladder to hell
Take this guilt i’m sure you’ll never grasp it
Curb that monster, never let it happen
We’re all part of this structure, if one goes down then we all go under

{chorus}
Everything’s so good now
And we’re doing just fine
So when i break down
Everyone will know why
I’m trying to help you
Don’t want us to die
But you’ve got me confined

Everything’s so good now
And we’re doing just fine
So when i break down
Everyone will know why
I’m trying to help you
Don’t want us to die
But you’ve got me confined

{outro}
How many times do i have to fight you?
How many times until i can shine through?
How many times do you have to kill me?
How many times do i have to deny you?
Deny your existence, hope that no one notices i’m missing
Everybody’s here but they’re never gonna listen
Everybody hears but they’re never gonna listen
This is not the be-all end-all, this is not where everybody’s fine
This is just the high point of my life, those are just wasted years gone by, so wave as they go
Because nobody wants to see me cry, too sappy
But nobody cares if i die unhappy
Feelings are heavy and they’ll always hurt, so put in the work
I call it passion, you call it violent
Which one of us do you think will be thriving?
In five years time when the clouds have all parted, and nobody here’s gonna care how it started
I come back now with a price on my head, with blood on my hands and a limp in my step
Cause you broke me down, took two years of my life, but when i come out that side you’ll still be behind

Biography

edit bio

Eight years ago, three six-graders ignored all the other trappings of ascendant teenagers and dedicated themselves fully and feverishly to making music. Growing up in the serene town of Vernon, BC, daysormay not only mastered their songwriting and playing skills, but they also became production wunderkinds. Now 20 years old, in Vancouver, with a full album and EP release already in their arsenal, the members of daysormay (the English phonetic of the French “désormais” meaning “from now on”) have the wind at their backs with no intentions of slowing down.

With influences like Phoenix, Glass Animals and Portugal the Man., singer Aidan Andrews and twin brothers Carson and Nolan Bassett are carving out a unique space in modern alternative music and they have the online fanship to show it. It was a member of that dedicated following that tweeted at rising indie-pop artist Tessa Violet, and suggested daysormay as openers for her 2019 tour. After doing some quick online research about the band, Tessa was instantly hooked on the music, specifically their song “Role Model.” She brought daysormay out on the road and was so blown away that she subsequently introduced them to her team at T∆G Music, where Tessa herself holds a creative development position.

Full circle moment, daysormay will release their new EP through T∆G Music’s label, starting with “Role Model (ft. Tessa Violet)” this spring. The collaboration gives way to a high energy jam that is undeniably infectious. Insight into the whole EP, Role Model is a clear indication of how the band are unsatisfied to churn out simple three-minute rock standards. Audiences will hear how the band has continued to challenge their craft by incorporating pulsing drums, enchanting synths & guitars, unforgettable melodies and sharp-witted lyrics.

daysormay attack each new live show with a relentless energy of a band on the verge. Their history of stunning audiences is extensive, from at home in Canada, to headline shows in Europe, The Reeperbahn Festival in Germany, The Great Escape in England, Bumbershoot in Seattle and support slots on stages with Cold War Kids, Tessa Violet, Peach Pit, Walk Off The Earth and Arkells.
