Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down
Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down
Is this verse dying before it wakes?
I’ll tell of fear that I can’t fake
Or hide away from
Tell me something’s wrong?
I mean, no, tell me I’m alright
Tell me I’m alright, tell me I’m alright
Tied in twisted bed sheets
A racing mind that makes terrified leaps
Ridden white horse, always creeps
Finds me still in my sleep
Now death, not trying hide
And yet, I’m mortified
Rot in the flesh and mind
If not dead, paralyzed
Maybe a legacy not realised
Or the fact that a celebrations hard to find
Rather make a kink of the morbid
Fuck I know we all did
Perhaps as I’ve never really faced death,
I prie my knowledge from perversions
In games, tv and films acclaimed
Prime time news just the bloody the same
Who am I to blame?
We just want to hear our name
See our likeness shot and framed
If I die before that, what a shame
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame
Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down
Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down
Maybe I want to hear the words
“Weeks to live”, I know that’s absurd
Make theatre of the curse
Want to shape the world
Fly with birds know wealth was earned
Anything to take the pressure
Knowing that it wasn’t I’m a lesser
Odds insurmountable
Can’t be held accountable
“Anything is possible” terrifies me like
I’m alright, tell me I’m alright, tell me I’m alright
Gotta find my place in a cycle
Let something die, join topsoil
Find your altitude but you’ll come down
Treat every sound like a child
Let these lessons compile
If I die before that, what a shame
What a shame
What a shame
Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down
Who’s knocking at the door with a rap?
Scream, you can’t catch
Barely a scratch, just a badge
Know I’m still no match
As the curtains come down

Joshua Bennier - sample of ‘Closed Sesame’ off the album ‘Modular’
Its groovy, its emotive and very cinematic. I discovered his work through the video game Hotline Miami, and a lot of his other work carries similar tones and feelings. Very strongly stylised. Rhath
Tantalising use of natural samples alongside complex soundscapes creates unbelievable atmosphere and emotion. This is an EP I simply lose my self in, so check it. Rhath
