"My Hypocrisy" is the third in a series of recorded "quarantine versions" of Sommelier’s original songs - a project which finds the band experimenting with alternate styles to the arrangements they will eventually play live.

lyrics

Cloaked in aromas
my hypocrisy
bleeds from the nave to the sanctuary
Me in the present; me in the past;
and future me - that's the Holy Trinity.

Trails all through your gauntlet of lights:
is this what you want out of a disciplined life?
Perfume or pain?
It's all the same.

In my nightmare youth it's what
got me through
Now
in age it's an all-consuming phage.
I can set my devotion-like irons in the fire
When the star shutters a final time.

I lock my vice wide for
the feeding of the choir.

I'm just proving me -
write about me
Unequal persuasion - persistent equation.
And will the strongest people I know, stop crumbling?
Stick to your word raise your
heads from the heard.

You hate that I meditate on all the evils
done to me, but then you're floored when the world gets worse:
String-bean believes!
Better days will come, one can be
forgiven for being that dumb.

In my nightmare youth it's what
got me through
Now
in age it's an all-consuming phage.
I can set my devotion-like irons in the fire
When the star shutters a final time.

I lock my vice wide for
the feeding of the choir.
