about

"My Chimera" is an early release single from the forthcoming album, Transparent Raven, due out early 2019. This song is a theatrical romp about the impish nature that struggles within us all, both fun and mischievous.

lyrics

MY CHIMERA
Written by Working Breed
Lyrics by Erika June Christina Laing

She is a song with no ending
She is a harp with fresh strings
She is a permanent coda
At once she is all of these things

She’s my chimera <x4>
But no one can hear her but me

She splinters my eye with her light
Her feminine chakra’s bright pink
She is a black hole for lovers
She disappears when you blink

She’s my chimera <x4>
But no one can see her but me

I've got hope to remember
I've got dreams to forget
I’ve got pain, pain
With my hands in my pockets
My lips zippered closed
It’s a limb on my body, I just can’t let go

It’s hard to acknowledge
But deep down I know
My chimera can’t help me anymore

Her body is dust in a sunray
Her dance is a breeze on my cheek
She is the hair that grows in my legs
When the day is cold, windy, and bleak

She’s my chimera <x4>

No one can hear her but me
No one can see her but me
No one can feel her but me
No one can feel her but me

about

Working Breed Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pittsburgh’s art-rock four-piece Working Breed returns with Gaslighter, a more rock-forward face for the veteran group known for its expansive musical vocabulary and energetic, theatrical live show. Cathartic, singalong anthems, shapeshifting math-rock rhythms, haunting saw sounds and self-professed “angry trombone,” Gaslighter is as much a treat for the ears as it is a statement of intent. ... more
