Reality 03:51
lyrics

Reality Sometimes I feel like I’m going through the motions Finding the latest high to curb my desire Sometimes I feel like that I’m a counterfeit When I say I trust you but I really am a liar This life you’ve given me seems too much to take I wanna cash it in like an impulse buy You say your ways are so much better than mine Yet everyone screams out why (I need a…) I need a real dose of reality I need a real dose of reality I need a real dose of reality need a real dose… Of reality. Sometimes I feel I could crawl up these walls So I can escape this dark cloud around me Sometimes I wonder why I still feel this way It’s not enough just to remember how you found me This life you’ve given me feels like it’s ripped off And I wanna trade it all in for a better plan I try to follow with the rest of the crowd But in the end, I don’t understand (I need a…) I need a real dose of reality I need a real dose of reality I need a real dose of reality need a real dose… Of reality. Nothing is what it seems Broken glass and broken dreams Nothing is what it seems Broken glass, broken dreams…

What Have I Become 04:15
lyrics

What have I become? What is this? Can’t feel my limbs I’m turning into something I cannot recognize Who am I? Can’t see beyond I’m trying to make sense of what around me underneath these plastic lies And it’s calling me And it’s filling me… (chorus) What have I become? Who am I now? I wanna change I’m out of range I gotta get out somehow. Where is the answer? What is the truth? Tangled blue But I’m pushing through Cos the only thing that makes sense here is you. You You How did we get here? Where did it start? People walk around in circles Trying not to fall apart. Why do I feed this? Where will this go? I’m afraid of killing this addiction Cos this would mean the end of me As I know. And it’s reaching me And it’s drowning me… (Chorus) Repeat twice (Bridge) I need you to hold me Before I break I’m turning into something That’s shiny and fake. You are the reason I see things clear But I can’t overcome this Without you, without you here (Guitar solo) (Chorus) Repeat twice You Only you Get me through Before I tangle up in blue. It’s the truth Shining through I need something that means something Like you.

Young 04:54
lyrics

Young “So young,” I hear them say Like fresh dew of yesterday Full of wonder and delight. The smallest bud will bloom Its crimson petals will spread soon But I can’t see the sight. (Lead in to chorus) There’s a lot going on now But where’s it all going? We’re trying to fill as much as we can Without knowing (chorus) One day it’s gonna come around But I wanna stay young Don’t wanna put my feet on the ground Cos I wanna stay young If you could brand it, gloss it, make it shine Would it stand the test of time? But for now, I just wanna have my fun Cos I wanna stay young. I walk into a crowded hall faces I don’t know at all Making waves. Poker faces as I speak Death hushed silence, then they seek Ignorance is all the rage. There’s a lot going on now But where’s it all going? We’re trying to fill as much as we can Without knowing (Chorus) (Bridge) Don’t wanna make the change Don’t wanna be the same Don’t wanna compromise Don’t wanna realize. (repeat) (Chorus X2)

Assembly Line Product Once again, I’ll check my end date See if I need another upgrade I’m not surprised you’re choosing this I’m just another readymade. I know you’re feeling inadequate I should have kept my big mouth shut I really have to say my piece right now I have to say what’s in my gut (pre-chorus) What do you see when you look at me? Am I only just part of the fantasy? Not all the pieces meet your guarantee Emotional, hormonal, problem free Assembly line product Assembly line product (Do you wanna..) Assembly line product Assembly line product Everyone here is a dreamer Real life slips right through me I wanna call and say hello But I know this is not a movie. (You don’t know how to love somebody) Your calloused fingers still burn my skin Its imprint bears more than you can see You won’t change for anyone What makes me think that you could change for me? (pre-chorus) What do you see when you look at me? Am I only just part of the fantasy? Not all the pieces meet your guarantee Emotional, hormonal, problem free Assembly line product Assembly line product (Do you wanna..) Assembly line product Assembly line product (Bridge) Now I know I should let you go I’ll never be an island like you. You don’t know what you’re doing to me You don’t know how to love somebody Assembly line product Assembly line product (Do you wanna..)

lyrics

Simulacrum (Whole again) God What’s become of me? God Will you set these chains free I am a far cry of what you once created Jesus Who’d you died for? Jesus Nothing seems real anymore. All the things that you taught me have all but faded (Pre chorus) I am a hollow shell that everyone sees Now that I am alone, I’m begging please… (Chorus) If I were to ever take off this mask will you make me whole again? But if I were to ever take off this mask Would there be a chance to win To make me whole again? God What do they make of you? God They only want their own truth Convenience, compromise; you’re just a name Jesus Will you take this fear? Jesus If you saw me, would you come near? What would you say to a broken generation who tries to act the same? (pre chorus) I look at you and see the things that I lack I’ve been dead for so long, there’s no turning back (Chorus) If I were to ever take off this mask will you make me whole again? But if I were to ever take off this mask Would there be a chance to win To make me whole again?

Walking Wounded 05:17
lyrics

Walking Wounded Jimmy was a man, you could say that he was He did everything that was right White collar worker, got a house and some kids And a wife he kissed every night Then one night, he had to stay back at work And a little something came on the screen It seemed like fun and the late nights increased And she became his digital dream (she’d say) (pre chorus) Come here baby I’ve got everything you need I can fill your little void And you won’t even have to try You’ll come to lean on me Even when it’s over You’ll be weaker than before And I will even suck you dry. (chorus) Why are the heroes always Walking wounded? Why are the warriors out of sight? Take your amour and stand There’s a battle to fight! Here comes David with his flavor of the week It’s a shame that she can’t see It’s only to a point you can get so close And the rest remains a mystery But underneath it all, there’s a wounded little boy And a memory that won’t go away Something about a father who called him a fag Now he has to keep his feelings at bay. (still she says…) (pre chorus) Come here baby I’ve got everything you need I can fill your little void And you won’t even have to try You’ll come to lean on me Even when it’s over You’ll be weaker than before And I will even suck you dry. (chorus) Why are the heroes always Walking wounded? Why are the warriors out of sight? Take your amour and stand There’s a battle to fight!

Flesh 05:35
lyrics

Flesh How many times have I asked you to go, When all wanna do is hold you. That you know. I can feel your ghost in this place Now it scares me to glance at your face I wish I was stronger than this All I crave is your tender kiss But I know that when our night is done I’ll cry because the devil has had his fun. (Chorus) My flesh still wants you My flesh will taunt you No matter what you do or say Starving is the only way My flesh is burning My flesh is yearning Just one taste is not enough That’s why this is the only way to love You might think that I’m insane But it’s you who’s caused this pain I will not wait for you no more You still have your own store These wounds will never go If I keep stroking your ego What will be in it for me? You’ve sucked the life right out of me (Chorus) My flesh still wants you My flesh will taunt you No matter what you do or say Starving is the only way My flesh is burning My flesh is yearning Just one taste is not enough That’s why this is the only way to love (Bridge) You won’t be smirking when I’m not around I’m not losing ground Cos I know the truth The truth will set me free So let me be

Nails 06:22

Nails You think this world has had enough of you This life that you’ve created has faded from view You’ve searched for every self-indulgence to hide The inner-desperation that I can see in your eyes. (pre chorus) I’ve been down this road before There’s one thing I know for sure One thing that never fails And the answer’s in the… (Chorus) Nails Redemption waits at the… Nails He sealed his fate at the… Nails There’s mercy and healing Let justice and grace prevail At the nails. You cry yourself to sleep in the dead of night So any questions that you’re longing to find Your blistered heart cannot contain all the pain The mask that hides your hurt has begun to wane (pre chorus) I’ve been down this road before There’s one thing I know for sure One thing that never fails And the answer’s in the… (Chorus) Nails Redemption waits at the… Nails He sealed his fate at the… Nails There’s mercy and healing Let justice and grace prevail At the nails. (bridge) He knows you He loves you Nothing that you’ve done will make him leave Please Please Cos it’s his scars that set me free. (Guitar solo) (Chorus) Nails Redemption waits at the… Nails He sealed his fate at the… Nails There’s mercy and healing Let justice and grace prevail At the… Nails Redemption waits at the… Nails He sealed his fate at the… Nails There’s mercy and healing Let justice and grace prevail At the nails.

Skeleton Girl 03:28
lyrics

Skeleton Girl Here she comes It’s the skeleton girl With her hollow eyes, she sees the world. Hands keep extending While she’s pretending Her pound of flesh could assist with the mending. (chorus) How can I stay strong on the inside? When all my skin is gone? How can I stay strong on the inside? When everything is wrong? Here she comes It’s the skeleton girl Putting up defenses, no white flag unfurled. Invitations persists While she resists The opportunity for a goodnight kiss. (chorus) How can I stay strong on the inside? When all my skin is gone? How can I stay strong on the inside? When everything is wrong? Watch me as I take a piece away Watch me as I take a piece away The more you want of me The more you see right through me Through me Through me. How can I stay strong on the inside? When all my skin is gone? How can I stay strong on the inside? When everything is wrong? How can I stay strong on the inside? When all my skin is gone? How can I stay strong on the inside? When everything is wrong? Watch me as I take a piece away Watch me as I take a piece away The more you want of me The more you see right through me Through me Through me. Watch me as I take a piece away Watch me as I take a piece away The more you want of me The more you see right through me Through me Through me.

Heaven on Earth (Verse) As the morning sun breaks And the dew sinks in the earth I look upon a new day Now I know for what it’s worth You’ve never been this true to me Now all that’s said and done I ask that you take the lead Now my life has begun (Chorus) Everything I’ve ever wanted Has always been here Though I’ve faltered many times You’ve always been near (Verse) I never knew how much you love Or how deep is your grace There’s nothing I could want or ask Than to see you face to face I cannot fight this fight alone My pride has made me stoop low This is why I’m letting go I’m letting go (Chorus) Everything I’ve ever wanted Has always been here Though I’ve faltered many times You’ve always been near This world was meant for so much more We can make it happen today Come and claim what you have made Come down and have your way (Bridge) This must be Heaven on Earth This must be Heaven on Earth (Chorus) Everything I’ve ever wanted Has always been here Though I’ve faltered many times You’ve always been near This world was meant for so much more We can make it happen today Come and claim what you have made Come down and have your way

about

Simulacrum is the debut album from Sister Freak. Nearly three years in the making, Simulacrum is full-bodied, bold and unafraid to ask the hard questions. Crossbreeding rock, industrial, electronica and heavy metal, Simulacrum is melodious yet punishing, playful yet haunting, and draws influence from artists such as Evanescence, Nine Inch Nails, Collide, Garbage and countless others.

Headed up by singer/songwriter Katie Lewis and produced by Kim Lajoie, Simulacrum comprises songs that explore the intersection of identity and faith. It is about how people can lose sense of who they really are in a world governed by material wealth and rapid advancing technology. The title of the album means “an image or a representation of something”. Sometimes the representation is a mask that can seem more important than the original.

Katie Lewis has gained some notoriety as an accomplished singer/songwriter in the live music scene, performing in events including “Play like a girl”, "Obsession" and numerous musical theatre productions in the Melbourne scene. With her dirty vocals known to pack a surprise punch along with her thoughtful and imaginative lyrics, Katie has big plans for the future and is currently working on a new album.
