"Painted in Fear" is a song about a reluctant vampire. This was recorded live at Pillbox Studios in Petersburg, IN and was produced by Brick Briscoe. We wanted a live feel, warts and all.

Music.
From the backwoods of southern Indiana, comes singer/songwriter/lead guitarist Brett Michael Houchin. His electric stage presence along with the chops to make the audience piss all over themselves. He intertwines the apparent heavy influences of acoustic and electric blues, country, and good-time rock and roll music into a ball of politically charged and inspired rock music. A great deal of the music is inspired by and written about the world of pop culture, the wackiness of fame in America and strange story songs straight from the spoil banks of Pike County, Indiana. (I wrote that, can you tell. Was it good, seriously? Is there enough ego? I don't know.)

Story behind the song
I love vampire films and folklore. I just always wondered what a vampire that hates being that way would feel about the world.
Lyrics
If someone would just stop and love me Because you’re all so scared of me You all waste and curse your life I’m dead and you’re rotten inside As the fear instills into your soul People like us, a desire that eats you whole You don’t want this life that shuns me To be this dead and this hungry (chorus) I may never die with my hand held to the sky Hoping for a mass infection I may never plead, for my life to proceed A perpetual resurrection I may never make it out, a nightmare that’s full of doubt It’s not like I get motivated I may never die, but at least I can say I tried On your mind I’ll be painted In fear If the world would stop breeding People like me, would stop feeding We live from your weakness But at least your life isn’t the bleakness If you think it’s all game and fun I would wish this life on no one I don’t enjoy being this way But if you see me, it’s too late anyway (chorus) It doesn’t justify, living my lie But I’ll feed while you all die So heed the call from the cursed Get your kicks before you’re dead
