1.	The Broken Blocks of Separation 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Charged with motivation to create.. The broken blocks of my own separation Yes they are scattered at my feet, around my feet Staring at all these abandoned tombs I feel a sense of relief now. I feel a sense of relief I feel a sense of peace Finally I feel like I can accept myself As I Am No more is self hatred the anorexia of my heart I’ll help you tear your walls down I’ll help you tear your walls down to the ground

I felt like I saw the person you are Inside your words inside your hands I felt your heart You played in rainbow rhythms Sang in shooting stars I swear to God I’ll never forget who you are Your colors brighten the rainy days Your colors brighten the rainy world So Angel* Paint The source has soaked your soul in light So sing a song that plants a seed that brings new life You know you’ve been created for more than you see And as we grow inside his love we’ll learn to be Exactly what he made us for
3.	The Slit Throat of a Theology 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Dead. god of my old understanding You are deceased Now I have brand new sense of reality Finally my feet hit the ground And I decide to throw away the knives That I would cut myself with Now I have a brand new sense of reality Finally my feet hit the ground
4.	Skeleton Key 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Walking along this path that I’m on Decisions I make daily Influence my life, whether dark or light I try to remain willing This key that I hold Works in different holes Unlocking the doors for me To move on inside My thoughts redefined The pictures I paint Changing I’m so grateful for this gift Thinking about how far You’ve carried me, carried me. We’re all just looking for light We’re all just looking for light the circle exposed as well as the ghosts that whispered their lies to me ignoring the noise I look to the voice like father to son, guiding i'll move right along this path that i'm on and try to remain willing
5.	Giving Up 02:12	lyrics	buy track
My mind fails me today Thoughts begin to swirl darkness inside Where are you God? This is not the only time I will question my own integrity This is not the only time I will question my own reality Always this leads me to nothing Never a happy ending. for me I’m giving up on me
6.	Fag Bash 02:54	lyrics	buy track
I welcome your eyes of disdain your words of hate Come throw a stone I am just human Just flesh and blood and soul Go on ahead and Tell me that you’re something more For centuries hate has emerged in many forms we’re so afraid Don’t you want to bash my all of my brains in? Don’t you want to slit my naked throat? Our time is so short to not love
7.	Lift My Eyes 03:36	lyrics	buy track
I haven’t felt the darkness in such a long time The burden it pulls me from within me When all is said and done Will I be left alone When all is said and done Will I be left to die I lift my eyes to the sky I lift my eyes to the mountain Without any reason, without explanation The pain it fills my heart The burden it pulls me, from within me I feel Your hand in mine.

9.	Hotel Hell 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Right now I feel his spirit ripping through my everything his grace, his blood, his word undeceives I am done with living Life in death’s perspective I am done with living Life with truth objective Waves of emotion Rise and fall within me My heart rests in all You are I can’t see life without your eyes
10.	Circus Song 02:28	lyrics	buy track
Waking up to the sound of a river Walking down to bathe myself In the river bed itself Feel your life Flow though me This Death, My Drowning Under water Self is slaughtered New awakened Old forgotten Old forgot

about

Written between 2008 and 2010, Hotel Homicide's first and only album was recorded in 2011 and was never released due to the outfit parting ways shortly after recording. Made up of drummer Tony Devine, Guitarists Matt Gomez and Joseph Devine, bassist Christian Thomas and singer Chris Conde, Hotel Homicide played stages across San Antonio including Rock Bottom, The White Rabbit and 502 Bar to name a few.

Combining elements of experimental rock 'n' roll with metallic hardcore textures, the band put on memorable live performances which often would have frontman Conde twirling and dancing across the stage while screaming into the mic in the vein of original Norma Jean vocalist Josh Scogin. Lyrically, the songs are about Conde's continued struggle with alcoholism and drug addiction, God, and internalized homophobia.

Officially breaking up in 2012, Joseph Devine went on to form his nerdcore band Bitforce while Chris Conde has continued his hip-hop career.

100% of proceeds Hotel Homicide receives from Bandcamp will go directly to The Marsha P. Johnson Institute (MPJI), an organization which protects and defends the human rights of BLACK transgender people
