Story behind the song
A total rewrite of the song that was previously known as "Who was I?" I changed the tuning to standard E, which obviously goes better with my voice (though the vocals are terrible anyway, but I have no plans to sing if I ever do a real recording). The lyrics are improved and I generally feel better about the song. The inspiration for the re-write came from me being in a really dark place over the last few days.
Lyrics
All their faces... Smiling faces, I address. Life's been wasted, Time's been wasted, I confess. Open the album And turn the page All the frozen memories At every age Pause the moment I see her face Feel her lips and her soft embrace And then I close my eyes While I try to hide Every bit of lusting Every little thing Try to hide the memory of what that picture brings And then I Close my eyes To my death... To my grave, I will confess The chance I wasted Still her face, I do cherish Look upon the hollow, Empty things Struggle through the sadness A picture brings And who was I, To hold your hand? And who was I, To rape my friend? And then I close my eyes While I try to hide Every bit of lusting Every little thing Try to hide the memory of what that picture brings And then I Close my eyes The frowning faces... My eyes open from duress They betray me She stands before me in a dress She bows to meet me And she greets me with a kiss She lies before me and I drown in her caress who am I, to hold your hand? Who am I, To rape my friend? who am I, to deny my sin. Who am I, Who am I again?
