Brandon Asraf and John Tacon, the duo that makes up Brick & Mortar, came to the JBTV studios, in Chicago, to play for an eager audience. The pair performed "Terrible Things," from their 2013, seven track EP, Bangs (Island Def Jam Music Group). They took this performance of "Terrible Things" and displayed how passionate and fun their live performances are. The pair made sure the audience was active and happy, and made "Terrible Things" powerful. Asraf's harsh, but strong vocal tone and Tacon's forceful drumming allowed this version of "Terrible Things," to make an impression.
Brick + Mortar JBTV Live
Watch Brick & Mortar perform "Terrible Things" here on JBTV. Here are the lyrics.
Deep in my sleep (give it up, give it up now). (x2)
I don't, I don't, I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why but I can see you far away as you grow and change and I stay the same but..
Well I, I'm just like you. I've got, got no name at all. The whole world against you. You did everything.
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things. I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh. Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease. Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep (I'm doing terrible things. Give it up, give it up now. I'm doing terrible things. Give it up, give it up now).
In the sky above my between my eyes within my eyes, I don't know but can you feel me melt away as the colors seem to fade and day by day but..
Well I, I'm just like you. I've got, got no name at all. The whole world against you. You did everything (deep in my sleep).
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things. I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh. Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease. Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep. I'm doing terrible things. T-t-t-terrible things.
Everything you need, everything you need, give it up, give it up now. It's bigger than your dreams, bigger than your dreams. Give it up, give it up now. A habit dreams so far away. I have the dreams so far away. I have the dreams so, so.
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things. I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh. Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease. Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep.
T-t-t-terrible things. Give it up, give it up now.
