destroy me | New single from ERA C, out Oct. 2, 2020 on Future Archive Recordings.

ERA C is a new project from Sofia Insua of the Guatemalan group Easy Easy and Mirza Ramic of the American duo Arms and Sleepers.
Writes Insua about the latest single 'destroy me':
“I spent 18 years of my life in Guatemala and four in NYC. This song was written while walking in the streets of Prague for the first time and recorded in Brno, Czech Republic. Out of all the places I’ve been, my least favorite will always be an empty room. And every time I listen to this song, I imagine a stripped down version of the studio where it was recorded – a room full of sound and emotion, now fully vacant in my mind’s eye. ‘destroy me’ is about complacency, surrender, and what once was.”
Place two happy people in a room
Watch them go unhappy
There’s two lucky people in a room
They feel so unlucky
I probably shouldn’t say these things out loud
But they’re just coming out
I know I should be satisfied
But I feel like crying tonight
Destroy me, destroyer
I can’t be enough for you
Destroy me, destroyer
You warned me, I follow
I can’t be enough for us
And I know my doubts,
They keep you warm inside
And I know my faults,
They keep us warm at night
I thought you’d know what to do
But how can I expect you to
Destroy me, destroyer
I can’t be enough for you
Destroy me, destroyer
You warned me, I follow
I can’t be enough for us
There’s two happy people in a room
Watch them go unhappy
There’s two lucky people in a room
They feel so unlucky
