And at a crux a spark that caught fire A chance ignition to quell the divide I watched the embers fade without hope of resurrection A child lost in unrelenting rain As with the brightest hours tempered by every nightfall A wreckage appears on the path I could have gone with it dismantled, and dejected But I knew your undying love I'm reaching out but you're drifting away With my tears streaming I'd beg for your hand but would it break you down? Can't believe what I'm losing This is, this is all that I'm losing This is, this is all that I'm losing Losing No sense in heading back or conjuring the coming times What's to cherish is here in the now But there is so much that I just ache to undo I hold it all behind a trembling mask I'm reaching out but you're drifting away With my tears streaming I'd beg for your hand but would it break you down? Can't believe what I'm losing I'm not alone on this, the grim road of actuality But these are nights of mirrors shattering shattering shattering shattering And I’m reaching out And I’m reaching out And I’m reaching out And I’m reaching out (You’re drifting away) And I’m reaching out (You’re drifting away) (You’re drifting away) Can't believe what I'm losing I'm reaching out but you're drifting away Can't believe what I'm losing Believe what I’m losing Believe what I’m losing This is, this is all that I'm losing Don’t slip away Believe what I’m losing Don’t slip away Believe what I’m losing Don’t slip away Can’t believe what I’m losing No, don’t go © 2020 Vicar.

UPDATE - NOVEMBER 2, 2021

The bonus track "Losing (Mix V2)" has been added to this release as a Bandcamp exclusive. Why? Simply because this updated mix does a better job of capturing the energy and emotion of the song. Get this version here, or on "The Idiot Parade EP" (released on November 1, 2021).

Losing is the second surprise release of 2020 from DHI (death and horror inc) after a 22-year hiatus.

Lyrically, this piece is an unwavering moment of reflection and catharsis. As a rumination on the concept of personal loss, it barrels down “the grim road of actuality” that we all must travel at times (whether we wish to admit it or not). And while the song emerges from a highly individual vantage point, it provides necessary space within the words for listeners to imagine their own story.

Thankfully, there is light amidst the looming shadows of these verses. It arrives in the form of a groove, and it is a gloriously pummelling one at that. Like cement blocks detonating under a relentless surge of grinding, contorted guitars.

In a parallel universe where dark dancefloors are still open for business in 2020, Losing is blowing up the spot.
