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
A song about mental illness, specifically Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizo-Effective disorder, clinical & manic depression. Not to mention all of the awesome neurotic tics & complete & utter madness that goes right along with these conditions. So, it basically encompasses a subject with which I am altogether too painfully aware of from direct, personal experience, as my Mom would put it, I come from a looong line of fruit loops, lol!!! over-all, this song is a wonderful representation of passion & musical integrity. I also wrote this song for my friend Kasey who shot herself in the head and lived through it!!!
Lyrics
get on, hey I said get on, the elevator stops in, the elevator drops me a line, every time, something new, what the fuck else could go wrong with you? I'm your placebo, boy, I wish I wasn't here, drop me off like a rusty spoon, couldn't burn me out like I burnt you... I siphon venom from abuse, 'cause I didn't want to go with you... drink the lemonade, maybe it'll fade away, give me something to forget how it felt, I'll just withdraw in myself... I can't even remember my face, can't remember the last place I saw me... I'm still here watching you, wishing I could just reach through, but every time I hear you screaming, every time I hear you scream, I just want you right here next to me... infidelity is monogamy, don't try it, you know that I will, you know that I can, I know that you could never understand where I stand and make my point of view clear across the room, don't try me BOY, said we're watching you, so peaceful, asleep with his guns, I didn't hear the shots, but I tasted the blood... and you're twisting my words as you put 'em in my mouth, so fuck you & your glorious lies, just go now, don't bother wasting my time.... I'm your placebo, boy, I wish I wasn't here.... goodbye... goodbye.... goodbye... (C)Decaying Enterprises 2017
