Look at you bringing karma Like you're the judge and jury Look at you bringing guns To what should be a knife fight History repeats itself But I can't help it cos there's comfort in danger I bring this on myself The lessons I ignore are killing me (I see it coming but I try to step aside) I don't want you here But history repeats itself Look at you on you on your bed of lies This tired narrative Look at you with your burned out smile It's time to walk away History repeats itself But I can't help it cos there's comfort in danger I bring this on myself The lessons I ignore are killing me (I see it coming but I try to step aside) I don't want you here But history repeats itself Get out the way It's not your time Get out of the way History repeats itself But I can't help it cos there's comfort in danger I bring this on myself The lessons I ignore are killing me (I see it coming but I try to step aside) I don't want you here But history repeats itself

Darkness is coming And we've got to stay alive We're in this madness But it's turning out alright A glimpse of daylight At the end of an otherwise deadly night Do you have do you have The strength to fight? Oh oh dissolving memories Oh oh were we ever really free? Oh oh did we sign off on our own catastrophe? Living in the twenty first century A simple spell they wove Was all it took to win Official lies in a box With a bow let it all sink in Do you have do you have The strength to rise up with us now? Rise up with us now Oh oh dissolving memories Oh oh were we ever really free? Oh oh did we sign off on our own catastrophe? Living in the twenty first century Oh oh dissolving memories Oh oh were we ever really free? Oh oh did we sign off on our own catastrophe? Living in the twenty first century Oh oh dissolving memories Oh oh were we ever really free? Oh oh did we sign off on our own catastrophe? Living in the twenty first century Are we living in the twenty first century? What you sow is what you reap Are we living in the twenty first century? What you sow is what you reap Are we living in the twenty first century? What you sow is what you reap Are we living in the twenty first century? What you sow is what you reap

Heats break and fall After midnight It's the darkest time We've ever known On broken limbs you crawl Wildfire highlight It's the madness in your eyes That gives you away Hey oh hey oh hey oh It's the space that's in between Hey oh hey oh hey oh A spark that rained down hell upon a catalyst Hey oh hey oh hey oh The world is so damn dark these days Hey oh hey oh hey oh We keep on fighting for love As we isolate Cold panic dread sweeps Everything just turned On a dime So much for fate Fall under six feet This is all And this just isn't what we planned Hey oh hey oh hey oh It's the space that's in between Hey oh hey oh hey oh A spark that rained down hell upon a catalyst Hey oh hey oh hey oh The world is so damn dark these days Hey oh hey oh hey oh We keep on fighting for love Gonna run gonna run gonna run away Gonna start gonna start gonna start again Gonna run gonna run gonna run away Gonna start gonna start gonna start a- Gonna run gonna run gonna run away Gonna start gonna start gonna start again Gonna run gonna run gonna run away Gonna start gonna start gonna start again Hey oh hey oh hey oh It's the space that's in between Hey oh hey oh hey oh A spark that rained down hell upon a catalyst Hey oh hey oh hey oh The world is so damn dark these days Hey oh hey oh hey oh We keep on fighting for love

Opened my heart but honey you're still alone You're not a dog so please don't chew at my bones You coulda had what you wanted but your resolve Needs to dissolve Well I'm cheap whiskey, you're tequila and lime Get hot and heavy, let me steam up your night My constitution is weak I'm addicted to Your poisonous smile And I feel you when you scream And you curse me in my dreams Is the devil in you or is the devil in me? Oh honey you think you're a fly on the wall I see you creep round like a jaguar It won't be different this time It's time to let you know what I know And I feel you when you scream And you curse me in my dreams Is the devil in you or is the devil in me? I'm trapped in my own illusions (Let me go) You're calling out my delusions (Let me go) It's a war where's the revolution (Let me go) This is out of my control (Let me go) I'm trapped in my own illusions (Let me go) You're calling out my delusions (Let me go) It's a war where's the revolution (Let me go) This is out of my control (Let me go) And as I lay me down to sleep I pray my intuition won't drag me down too deep I see you clearly in my head But all these visions always end up with my death

Inch by inch I crawl my way Hopes depend on what I do today A category five hurricane Just couldn't keep me away from you Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Word by word I'll have my say Would you want it any other way now My feelings fall right out of my mouth My heart is on this roundabout for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Like a thief in the night I'll steal your heart And leave you breathless Step by step I'm walking this line Are you coming? You're taking your sweet time Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world And I'll wait here forever for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world I'm not waiting forever for you Climbed halfway to the top of the world I'm not waiting forever for you

about

I Came Bearing Messages is the debut EP from White Tees Only, a band project by music producer/audio engineer and filmmaker, Sarah E Howson.

Due to corona the originally planned 8-track mini-album, Gaslight This, was put on hold. Forged from a comparatively brief stint in quarantine, fresh riffs were created from the bones of old songs and lyrics were born of the moment.

Equal parts 80's inspired guitars and 90's production values, I Came Bearing Messages documents the surreal year we've partaken in. Political and personal, these four songs are anthems for 2020.

This EP also comes with a new version of Meet Me Halfway as a bonus. Remixed and remastered for radio and Spotify.
