about

The phrase "Crush, Kill, Destroy" from the rogue robot in Lost In Space has always been an inspiration to me -- it deserved a song title.

I wrote this song about moshing around at the goth club Manray in Boston (I miss you). I eventually met my wife there.

I've recorded a bunch of different versions of this song -- industrial, poppy -- but this is the one I like the best. Love the simple guitar/delay too.

Now that I read the second verse, jeesh I make myself out to be quite the creep. I'm more of a softy that thinks big.

lyrics

I move through the crowd like I can fly
I'll kill you with a wink of my eye
I dance to the music like I dance around the fire
A thunder roll to steal your soul
A lightening flash to take you higher

Crush, Kill, Destroy
Whatever's in my way
Crush, Kill, Destroy
Because every dog must have it's day
Crush, Kill, Destroy
Whatever can be found
Crush, Kill, Destroy
Just line'em up, I'll knock'em down

You look in the mirror
Like you look into my eyes
Your following my power
I'll lead you on with lies
I'll take all your giving me
And then I'll ask for more
And when there's nothing left to take
I'll knock upon another door
