about

"Put Me To Sleep" is about the Stockholm syndrome of internalized oppression, the power we relinquish in the pursuit of control, and how trading our self-knowledge for convention pits us against each other.

This single is a sneak peek at the upcoming EP "The Ghost", a collaboration between Mery Steel and Patrick Bourland exploring the darker sides of human nature. Coming in 2021.

lyrics

I remember
The disaster
My defender
Lost the light
Now I'm looking
For another
And only power
Can do me right

Take me to church
Show me the key
Give me a kiss
Put me to sleep

When I was younger
I could wander
Without anger
Without fear
And I wonder
What desire
What kind of sinner
Got us here

Take me to church
Show me the key
Send me to God
Put me to sleep

Now I'm dreaming
While I'm waiting
Of a future
Like the past
Where my father
Can protect me
From all the vermin
Sneaking in the grass

Take me to church
Show me the key
Give me an out
For what's inside of me
Take me to church
Swallow the key
Give me a kiss
Give me away
Put me to sleep

Put me to sleep
