Shawn Knight’s guitar & keyboards poke in and out from song to song, along with his signature vocal warble. The music is a combination of punk vigor and avant-garde ideals; the infusing of unconventional sounds with palatable arrangements.
In the midst of recording albums for their other bands, Knight, Norton & Sperry thought it would be a good idea to tackle yet another project. Child Bite was formed in late 2005 with an experimental writing style in mind; to document a handful of improvised sessions and later edit them down to concise arrangements for the band to learn. Recorded in two days at Chicago’s Phantom Manor, the eleven songs featured on “Wild Feast” are the outcome of this process.

Death Before Dementia
Child Bite Lyrics
Don't put me in a convalescent home
with the countless horrors that it must contain
Stinking shriveled human shells of their former selves
Brainless yet the body still remains
I wanna die die die die die die before dementia
Death before dementia
I'm gonna die die die die die die before dementia
Death before dementia
Some people have a primal fear of dying
Holding on until the bitter end
Sitting in the corner with a cold, blank stare
Until they shit & piss themselves again
We only have so many good years until our bodies become obsolete
As parts break down, one by one, ask yourself
Do I want to live forever?
Before I take my trip into dementia
And become another dusty meat sack
I'll find a bridge or rooftop to jump off of
and end it all with dignity intact
When my consciousness begins to slip, before I'm completely deranged
I'll ask myself that question just a few more times
Do I want to live forever?
No! Why?
I am done I am done I am
I am done I am done I am
Useless and tired
Why ask why? Just fucking die.
with the countless horrors that it must contain
Stinking shriveled human shells of their former selves
Brainless yet the body still remains
I wanna die die die die die die before dementia
Death before dementia
I'm gonna die die die die die die before dementia
Death before dementia
Holding on until the bitter end
Sitting in the corner with a cold, blank stare
Until they shit & piss themselves again
We only have so many good years until our bodies become obsolete
As parts break down, one by one, ask yourself
Do I want to live forever?
Before I take my trip into dementia
And become another dusty meat sack
I'll find a bridge or rooftop to jump off of
and end it all with dignity intact
When my consciousness begins to slip, before I'm completely deranged
I'll ask myself that question just a few more times
Do I want to live forever?
No! Why?
I am done I am done I am
I am done I am done I am
Useless and tired
Why ask why? Just fucking die.
