lyrics

They were showing you the smoke machine
And going on about how it runs
The words were fading in and out
Because it was holding you like a socket holds the plug
Breathe slow, there were rooms like this in grandmother’s house

They let you on the stage so you could see the workings of the show
All the little bits of tape and the plywood backs to flat, unbroken homes
Lights low and it was all wrapped in the steam scenery

It couldn’t get you
But didn’t seem impossible

It made you feel so alive
And of a lifetime
The lie wasn’t the lie
And all barriers were curtains to see behind

It really isn’t so broke when it’s all wrapped in the steam scenery

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 11 fans who also own “Steam Scenery”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
