about

"Nectar is a really personal song for me. Mark had actually written most of it some time ago, and asked me if I thought it’d fit the record. I was instantly in love with it, and the momentum behind it musically really stuck me. I knew I wanted to channel a particular painful experience I’d had into a song, and this track felt right for it. I’m really proud of this one, and I think it shows off the best in both of us." Eric

"Nectar is the only song on the album I brought to the table as a fully formed instrumental. Eric took the skeleton and brought it life with the vocal & lyric composition." Mark

lyrics

Primal instinct
Downcast yearning

Built in synchronicity this
Hunger growing, ever slowly
Eyes dilated, stifled judgement
Mutual depraved arrangement

In my nauseous state I Iust for you
My perfect truth
By my humble misplaced faith in you
I won’t be consumed

Oh, won’t you please tell me that
I’ve a place inside your mind?
No I can’t be left behind

And while I wait for you I
Scream into the emptiness
As I’m made to burn like this

For I should know I’m just a
Thing for you with which to play

Your tempting flower draws me
Closer still, it’s such a waste
All this strain for just one taste

Taste of your nectar

Enter unexpected presence
Step aside in quiet acceptance
Told me I won’t be abandoned
You just have to see where this ends

O’er and over
Vacillating
In this agonizing pattern

I am giving
Up on you all
I need’s to know
It was real

Reeling
Left with no control
Only hollowness
By your selfishness
In your devious
Narcissistic way
Sapped my sanity
Just to feed your sick
Ego

Absent
Forsaken and lost
Seek benevolence
But there’s nothing left
‘Cause you used me up
For attention then
Played the victim when
All I wanted was
Closure

This fell entranced state of mind

And while I wait for you I
Scream into the emptiness
As I’m made to burn like this

Your tempting flower draws me
Closer still, it’s such a waste
All this strain for just one taste

Taste of your nectar

Distant conceit
Callous apathy

Now with how you’ve sown division
You will not find absolution
Once we had a shard of kinship
By your hand you’ve torn it down
