about

In a world that glorifies violence, Starbound explores our obsession with serial killers. Showing off their diverse skills, guitarist Ian Rockett and bassist Chris Borland swap roles for this nightmarish dive into the mind of a psycho. With dreamy synths, frantic guitar work and a deep groove, Shattered Skies release their 'lockdown single' alongside an homage to B-movie horror this Friday 13th.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Stories told in silk, they pull me together, it's true.
A shoebox filled with trophies, they won't do forever
And now your delicate touch shall turn to leather

I'll wish them awake as I feel their smiles
Stretch that tan upon my lips
Grave-cradled, yet I'm the child?
See, I'm grown because I've got new hips

And how it feels
To be this beautiful
Dressed in your bones
Draped in your soul I'm

Starbound, I've found
Life means more at it's
Limits, corsets, skulls and fingertips

The flesh they gave

Trap that figure,
Let her know - won't take for granted,
The way she tastes
Upon my fingers
I'm grown, but I was born under the wrong name

This midnight complex, heady bones will hide the shame
A lover doused in candle oil, they still won't hold a flame
The impotence is loneliness, damned mother sticks the blame
But chastise my remorse - I'll have a body built for fame

The world their stomachs turn to look at me
They fear these acts, they make me free

I'll wish them a-
The flesh they -
Give into
Now I'm found

Starbound, I've found
Life means more at it's
Limits, corsets, skulls and fingertips

Three-piece satin suite
Ball gown new crown new teeth
Can't sleep I've stopped taking clocks
As real skin peels better trust
not enough
Lampshades they gave lip
Grave skip. Pavement. Stained kit
bag.

All of the women I met.
All of the parts to collect -
Better still every ounce of regret.
It was all caused by neglect?
Dress me 'til there's nothing left
No manhood left to reject
so you can fail to protect
Cut me off at the neck
Cut me off at the neck
