Little specks of calcium, crumble from your breath
Words that fly like catapults, leave me paralyzed and deaf
Pupils still a beating heart, skin doused in beads of sweat
You peel away my disguise, exposing naked flesh
Invade, you invade me
Piercing radiance, I have no defense
I can’t stand to see
Depp within my self I am nothing else
But you are cold, frozen, cold frozen
(And you are burning me alive)
Secrets whispered violently, spit grazes my ear
Vibrations run down my spine, as you pin me here
I would give you anything, but you tear it all away
You can keep that part of me, I hate it anyways
Invade, you invade me
Piercing radiance, I have no defense
I can’t stand to see
Depp within my self I am nothing else
But you are cold, frozen, cold frozen
(And you are burning me alive)

Courtney Swaine is not a newbie on the rock music scene. Being a founding member and one of the creative heads of "Bent Knee", and in this context renowned for her charismatic delivery of vocals and keyboards on stage, it's not a surprise that her solo works are of a similar innovative quality. Her second album "Monstre" clearly is her most venturous and experimental one of the three available on Bandcamp at the time of this writing (April 2019). Seemingly without effort, she's pushing the boundaries of the relevant rock subgenres beyond all conventional limits, so the only reasonable tag that's left is aventgarde - and that's a good thing!
