about

Lead single from the new Des Arcs LP - Masks.

Brooding guitar-soaked romp through the malaise of the modern everyday.

lyrics

Don’t Take it (Don’t Give it Away) (Davies)

Just a common rose, hard to keep, hard to hang on to.
We mannequins, wearing lipstick on our souls, all plastic and foam.
Dark Day, malaise-malaise.
Dark Day, join up the parade.

She told me the shades roar like lions, and the walls rattle.
As daylight fades, our rags fall away. We take up arms, and charge.
Dark Day, malaise-malaise.
Dark Day, join up the parade.
Don’t you take it (Don’t you give it away).

I’ve been here before, running with the blind wind, each step so full.
The floor falls away, at least once a day. Full body collapse – Dark Day.
Dark Day, malaise-malaise.
Dark Day join up the parade.
Don’t you take it (Don’t you give it away).
Don’t you take it (Don’t you give it away).
