SOMETHING CAME HOME Industrial Rock | Electronic | Experimental Something Came Home is an experimental solo project by Colorado based artist, LuckyDogCult, that combines original lyrics and composition with Generative AI, mastered in Pro Tools. Rooted in the raw, mechanical sound of 1990s industrial music, the project blends distorted synthesizers, pounding drum machines, abrasive guitars, and haunting melodies with deeply personal storytelling. The debut concept album, Tolerate, explores the journey of someone battling the throes of addiction, self-deception, damaged relationships, lost time, and the uncomfortable truth that knowing better doesn't always mean doing better. Across sixteen tracks, the album examines the excuses we make, the damage we normalize, and the consequences of choosing familiarity over change. There are no easy villains, clean redemption arcs, or triumphant endings, just the machinery of being human, and the silence when it finally stops. Something Came Home. Something Never Left. ***** “Thank you for spending time with this album. If it hit close to home, I hope you’ll talk to someone. You are not alone.

[Chorus] I still get everything done I still get everything done The lights are on, the water runs I still get everything done You want a reason, here's the one I haven't missed a single one The damage doesn't count as much If I still get everything done [Bridge] There's a sound behind the wall I can hear it through the floor I could find out what it is I could open up the door But the morning comes at six And there's nothing on the list That says I have to deal with this [Final Chorus] I still get everything done I still get everything done The lights are on, the water runs I still get everything done [Outro] Alarm at six The coffee's on The shirt is clean Something is wrong
