The Dark Age

by Kitty

supported by
Jean-Paul DuQuette
Jean-Paul DuQuette thumbnail
Jean-Paul DuQuette I usually listen to goth, darksynth and industrial, so diva pop is generally not my cup of tea. But this album's just immaculately produced and performed and deserves to be hovering around the Top 20, not sitting in a quiet corner of Bandcamp (and YouTube). Keep it up Kitty, you'll find your audience. Favorite track: After Party.

And you tell me “Don’t worry, these things take time there’s no hurry everybody here trynna hide some type of pain dolla bills double up as band aids Baby” uh uh uh 2020s Rockin’ up to the high hills Tripping up on the gravel in my high heels Friend of a friend of a friend just hit the 5 mils I take a sip of cheap liquor To calm my chills White Marble, Black slate Everything sparklin’ Hand carved and hand made Models on the balustrade Posing like statues on ivory towers Don’t know what to think forgot how to drink overthinking everything Diamond tigers on the fireplace did I mention, I feel outta place? and you tell me “Don’t worry, these things take time there’s no hurry everybody here trynna hide some type of pain dolla bills double up as band aids Baby” uh uh uh If they sold you a dream How come at night I don’t sleep is there anywhere open late in LA Where I can buy something To take away the pain Of existing in the world of today Nouveau riche renaissance and now I want in Left my morals at the door when I walked in Now I’ve got everything that I wanted I’m still a prisoner but my walls looks expensive I see a girl in the crowd reminds me of me when I came to this town there’s hope and there’s fear in her eyes I tell her come over “I’ll tell you no lies” I know what you think, but don’t overdrink, (remember what they told you girl) be careful with each step you take, this marble floor can seal your fate If they sold you a dream How come at night I don’t sleep is there anywhere open late in LA Where I can something to take away the pain Of existing in the world or today Drowning daddy issues in champagne tears and you haven’t seen your brother in 15 years Sea view from the balcony This neighbourhood is blue No amount of anything can fake away the truth I said babygirl don’t u worry I’m gonna teach you what they taught me Everybody here is trynna hide some type of pain Dolla bills double up as band aids If they sold you a dream How come at night I don’t sleep is there anywhere open late in LA Where I can something to take away the pain Of existing in the world or today If they sold you a dream How come at night I don’t sleep In the darkest times Turn the lights on turn the light on honey Open your eyes to the way you’re living

After Party 04:34
After tonight we’ll go somewhere somewhere far from who we are somewhere good we’ll blow the roof right off the house we’ll turn it up get down low and spread the joy turn it up get down low spread the joy And while she’s crying cos you’re never coming home, You’re getting it on, taking it off pop another pill, Another secret spills, Tripping on your oath because you left it on the floor And now you’re dying in the corner of the room, Sober slaps you in the face with the truth pushed her on the bathroom sink, baby girl what do you thinks? She’s not saying no, but her eyes were glowing green I did not consent to your after party I never said yes but you still took me After tonight I’ll sleep in peace I’ll be careful in the morning watch my steps Who do you think that you’d believe? A wasted zombie on the floor who can’t even remember her own way home your actions have consequences I’m not gonna sip here and take it ooh take it Everything you do will linger after you yeah You do bad things guess what they don’t just fade to good and times a good healer but it’s not always good enough she was a beautiful zombie oh oh oh mmh mmh she was a beautiful zombie And while she’s crying cos you’re never coming home, You’re getting it on, taking it off pop another pill, Another secret spills, Tripping on your oath because you left it on the floor And now you’re dying in the corner of the room, Sober slaps you in the face with the truth pushed her on the bathroom sink, baby girl what do you thinks? She’s not saying no, but her eyes were glowing green I did not consent to your after party I never said yes but you still took me

Notre Dame 04:09
I switch the tv on and I watch reruns of friends I make my morning coffee and a list of all my plans scrolling through my feed I save the things I want to buy I don’t have any money yet but that will come with time the bells they ring sing out, the apocalypse and I, scream loud to mask the sound of it Notre Dame is burning Mother Nature’s cursin’ I wanna get off but I keep calm and carry on like I’m not listening’ dancing in the kitchen with the news on mute and the radio on loud I’ve had enough, I used to care I used to give a damn now it just feels like everything I love is going down so, scream cos I’m not listening dancing in the kitchen with the news on mute and the radio on loud do you see what I see? My best friend got engaged and we’re going to get drunk She said she knows a place in downtown when no one ever been hurt 8 sharp in the uber Oh no didn’t u hear? the curfew’s been moved up and it’s not safe to be here the streets they chant cry out, the apocalypse and I, say sir would you mind, turning it up a bit? Chorus We’ve torn down walls and we’ve built them up again claimed mountains burnt bridges turned enemies to friends world leaders are leading their children to the end we follow them blindly but we didn’t vote for them and medicine is useless if it can’t heal our greed cos face it it’s our mindset that we most need to heal do you see what I see? Paris is an underwater Pompeii Chorus

Peep Show 02:52
Put on your suit I’ll play dress up too Get in the zone Easy on that cologne, tiger I see you voyeur Looking through the key hole You won’t have to hide for long though This is for all eyes to see Maybe we should be on the big screen Big scream, baby when you Touching me there Pulling my hair — but don’t mess it up Everybody’s watching us Do it for the cameras Do Everyone is seated The curtains unroll We play that little game you like Before the show unfolds I’ve learnt all the things to say I’ve practiced my falsetto everyday I kept myself busy, while you were away But it’s not enough to make ‘em stay Maybe we should be on the big screen Big scream, baby when you Touching me there Pulling my hair — but don’t mess it up Everybody’s watching us Do it for the cameras Do… Isn’t this what you want? A bad girl in the bedroom Who got good girl intentions? Maybe we should be on the big screen Big scream, baby when you Touching me there Pulling my hair — but don’t mess it up Everybody’s watching us Do it for the cameras Do

MiNT 03:50
We were just kids running round in a heaven we made the rules made the sins the temptations your eyes were mean but your mind was pure you were the sickness baby you were the cure Should have seen it should seen it Seen it coming Loving a god turned me into an offering And I love you but I think I lost you somewhere in the worship and faith i built for you I was young, I had faith didn't know what Love could do, could undo and could corrupt Lies after school, on my knees in your temple threw me in deep end taught me how to sin We roamed unsure inside that space baby steps adult mistakes I’d like to think if I returned I’d find my youth undisturbed Oh no you don’t understand cos you can’t see it I’m holding strong holding on to a pigment It won’t leave me, it’s running through my bloodstream a voluntary captive obsessed with your disease Should have seen it should seen it Seen it coming Loving a god turned me into an offering And I love you but I think I lost you somewhere in the worship and faith i built for you I was young, I had faith didn't know what Love could do, could undo and could corrupt Lies after school, on my knees in your temple threw me in deep end taught me how to sin 
 And I remember everything suburban paradise your house was mint green I’d like to think if I returned I’d find my youth undisturbed 
 Should have seen it should seen it Seen it coming Loving a god turned me into an offering And I love you but I think I lost you somewhere in the worship and faith i built for you I was young, I had faith didn't know what Love could do, could undo and could corrupt Lies after school, on my knees in your temple threw me in deep end taught me how to sin

The Dark Age 04:08
We’re staring at the ceremony of our own defeat The people they are tearing down your statues in the street I only ever pray to you, god knows that I do He tells me to keep praying cos no one else seems to You've got the power of the universe In your fingertips It’s electric You collect it Like a hoarder Give me an order You shout obey me I say first you tame me baby Tumbling buildings Now we’re part of the ruin All of the glamour and luxury Turns to dust, rust Specks of gold Fresh prince is getting old We must do as we’re told Or we’ll be done for Give me something Or someone to run for I can’t see clearly But i need you near me From my point of vantage You’re my advantage People bow down to The king of the dark age The forests and the fountains they are lit up like the sun In the morning they’ll sing war chants for the end will have begun I wish that you’d listen to me, you say i’m just a girl But I know you’d give rome to me 'Cos I know I’m your world I have heard the whispers in the courtrooms and the halls I’m glad they think i’m stupid when in fact I know it all Tumbling buildings Now we’re part of the ruin All of the glamour and luxury Turns to dust, rust Specks of gold Fresh prince is getting old We must do as we’re told Or we’ll be done for Give me something Or someone to run for I can’t see clearly But i need you near me From my point of vantage You’re my advantage People bow down to The king of the dark age Baby I know you want it all All the power of the world Do you that you deserve the right to rule? Baby I've tried to tell you over And over and over You tell i don’t have a clue I’ve taken 3 shots of poison I’m hanging of the balcony I can see the city outline As far as the eye can see Your empire is falling down The emperor can’t stop it now Tumbling buildings Now we’re part of the ruin All of the glamour and luxury Turns to dust, rust Specks of gold Fresh prince is getting old We must do as we’re told Or we’ll be done for Give me something Or someone to run for I can’t see clearly But i need you near me From my point of vantage You’re my advantage People bow down to The king of the dark age

about

"The Dark Age" is about decadence, darkness and how to find hope where the light leaks.
It's my first album and it's been entirely recorded in my bedroom, and funded independently, without the support of a record label.
