Story behind the song
I got my friend Jessica Naish to help me on the lyrics department. I set out to record a heavy song with dark lyrics and this is what we came up with. Tim Lingley, the recording engineer genious, mixed the song for me at his studio.
Lyrics
Pt.1 – Acceptance Walking briskly, cloaked in fear Can’t look behind me ‘cause I know what’s there Reconciliation might hold the key To my survival My jaded eyes see all that I’ve done Bent and twisted, barely human Reconciliation can do nothing No, not for me And I try to pretend But this will never end Death sulkin’ behind me A growing anxiety A threat to society All because of me Chorus What I need is to be left alone Let me grow in the dark Like the scum that I am That you labeled me I can’t deny it And it all boils down To the face in the crowd That smiles when everyone’s crying Watch your back Look behind you Cause I know that One of these days I’m gonna snap But I can’t ignore what I’ve done My guilt burning like a sun Speak to me, tell the truth Or leave me here to die All twisted up inside of me This burden is too much Remorse is heavy, weighing me down My pride my only crutch All this anger inside of me Starts crawling on my skin But I know consequences lie In the feeling locked within And I try to pretend But this will never end These feeling of a guilty pleasure Cascading emotions Of a dying devotion I have to stop with every measure Pt.2 – Torment Can’t take all this guilt Frustration I am filled with remorse Heart is pounding Thoughts are racing Memories flashing While I’m pacing Stomach turning Fever growing Sickly nightmare I am chasing Fluctuating Rage surpassing Growing stronger Restless lashing Succumbing to The thoughts of fear Guilty conscience Everlasting Locked inside my room Being taunted my the Unseen laughing devils Of my mind Why must it be like this? (forever) Bouts of lucid thinking Getting harder and harder to find Trapped inside This self-destructive prison No one has witnessed but myself Every fiber of my mind Trying to rid myself of The constant pressure to conform To the socially acceptable Normalities that I find To be infinitely harder To accept than Your average psycho No one can help me Don’t want them to help me I wish they’d leave me alone Find a place to settle down Where no one would care to look Self appointed exile might be The only thing that could stop me From going back to metropolis, city of sin Where I lost my godforsaken mind in I can’t afford to be tempted again I don’t want to be tempted And I try to pretend But this will never end I can’t easily forget I try to find the strength To lift this weight from my mind Like being stalked by Death From Behind (Chorus)
