Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
The lyrics to this song were scribed while I was in county jail on DWI/Drug Possession charges, when I was released, I began recording what would later become the Mike Ash album, "Waxed", released in 2003. The song title is in reference to my time in incarceration, I truly was a junky on a kind-of holiday. I even went through the delirium tremens during my time in county, it was a deplorably miserable time indeed, to say the very least. anyhoo, this has always been a go-to track for me when playing live or featuring songs on collectives, I feel that this piece is filled with a lo-fi integrity that is sadly & rarely ever heard in this day and age, well, here is my offering, either Love it or learn to cope with it's madness!!!
Lyrics
could you stand on my head? do you wish I was dead? I do. I do. holding my breath, you'll hold me in debt, I'll make amends and wish this would end right now, over and out, what's this about? what's this about? stifle regret, yeah well I'll bet on the losing team, I miss your touch, no it don't take much, just everything, everything, no just everything.... forget my face, my name erased, don't pretend that you care and don't act like it's fair at all... I'm losing my mind and I'm nowhere to find, guilty are the ones staring down the sun, guilty are the ones staring down the sun shadows cast off of me, I wish that I was free from this, oh shit... a hit, my fit, thrown it all away.... somewhere I hear we never will be the same again (junky on holiday)insane again, the same again, silently we creep up on love, but it's not exactly what we wanted to come, what do you want? leave me alone, by myself with the pain to focus on, truth, sometimes it doesn't matter at all to you, but it's getting better, released from the fetters and chains that held me down... I don't have a reason to go on, I'm so fucking tired, every day is the same, kill me please just go away, I'm so fucking tired, please kill me, ' just go away... Lyrics By: Mike Ash (C)Decaying Enterprises 2017
