Have We Let Our Fear of Dying Kill Us?
Dry
RADIO
EDIT
D. C. T.'s fourth single, "Dry" was released on October 31, 2021. This catchy tune promises to inspire some serious introspection... Do you ever find yourself smiling on the outside while you're bleeding on the inside?
This song was born during a time when Jāz and Mali were both in a funk... both struggling within themselves to understand the reasons we battle with addictions, self sabotage, and feeling lost even when everything in your life seems like it should be okay.
Creating this song definitely sucked us dry at times... we are still very new at this and so the path to completing each of our songs is long and winding. But we always find our way... and the music always changes us for the better. ☺

lyrics
you suck me dry...
you suck me dry...
when you're looking at me
like i'm the thing that you need
to get you by
sometimes i drink so i don't have to think
sometimes i get high so i can sink into the deep
where i lose myself
and bad feels so good
i forget all about who it is that i should be
for just a short moment
freedom dances in
and she moves me, she grooves me
i feel myself again
until "uh-oh", i come back down again
are you ever gonna get it right?
this time, you said...
i swear i tried
you suck me dry
with your subliminal lies
hidden right there in sight
behind your eyes...
you suck me dry
leering down from your throne
i wish you'd leave me alone
i wanna die
you're looking at me
analyzing, fantasizing
sizing me up, until there's no recognizing
you'll never see the me that we could be
if you could ever see me clearly... clearly.
when you look at me this way all i see are the lies
you keep telling yourself with your disguises
you took all your fears and you gave them my name
now... who's to blame?
you suck me dry...
you suck me dry...
you never understand me
you suck me dry...
you suck me dry...
doesn't matter anyway.
you suck me dry
when you push me away
after you beg me to stay
i don't know why
you suck me dry
when you're bleeding on the inside
but you're smiling on the outside
why can't you cry?
when you look at me, when you look at me
what do you see?
when you look at me, when you look at me
you never see me
