Lyrics:
I dig the knife under veins in my temples
I cut the tube to allow all the pressure out
I carve spotless statues in your likeness
And envision a world devoid of doubt
I don’t know what to do with the time that I’ve been given
I don’t know where to store double lives I am living
I grab my emotions in trembling hands
I force them to stare at me
I desperately want to pull happiness out
Of the doom slowly becoming me
The first fumbling machination
Assembling an eventual God
The days blur together and I never sleep
Numb needles nest in retinal rods
I find things so I can break them
I searched forever
In each person I met I’d just be seeking you
The greatest feeling in all the world is when I can make you laugh
And you double over or slam your fists or cover your face and gasp
Until your stomach hurts
And I’m left in awe
Knowing I could make a soul
So radiant smile so much
Spent so much of my life intentionally destroying it
So that other people couldn’t anymore
It was a horrible attempt to gain control, that’s all I wanted then
Now I feel safe maybe, now I might be home
And now I have something new to be utterly terrified of
Because it’s realizing you’ve never loved before
Because it’s realizing you’d do anything to hold on
And that’s when you’re in too deep
But it’s too late.
The grass turns black and my ambition is dead, you writhe awake hold your gun up to my head
Guardian angels gather there upon your bed, you are afraid it doesn’t matter what they said
The king behead saw his eyes out as they bled, paint the wall red fill your body up with dread
There is no end save the presence of the lead, serpent flies by for the fall completes the set
The grass turns black and my ambition is dead, you writhe awake hold your gun up to my head
The grass turns black and my ambition is dead, you writhe awake hold your gun up to my head
The grass turns black and my ambition is dead, you writhe awake hold your gun up to my head
Never know what it's like to be your first decision
Never know what it's like to have no tunnel vision
You didn't even try
I guess it's just my curse
You didn't even try
Now I can hear my hearse
I wanted them to stay away I wanted someone to feel the same
You don't even glance at my shallow grave
You lie, fool I, decay and wither away
I waited I waited I waited I wait
I find things so I can break them

You were correct when you said this album is one of your best. Your lyrics have always been excellent and in this album your voice has only gotten better. So much feeling, so much raw emotion…I can actually feel the music coursing from my ears through my entire body. I even teared up at times. Thank you so much for the music. Never stop believing.

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

I think I finally settled into a more comfortable singing style, and that only happened because of regular live performances. I'm really glad you enjoyed the album, have a great week!

[@kylestar_]

I just finished the album. Thank you for letting us pour out our feelings with you.

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

Thank you for your time, I'm glad it meant something to you. See you around!

[@lakephillip]

Really enjoyed album. This was the strongest track. Maybe we'll see you accepting a Grammy Award, and we can say we remember when.

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

Grammy are overrated, but I certainly wouldn't be sad to obtain one
Thank you so much for devoting your time to my album, see you around
We are Legion

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

Thanks for listening George, it means the world

[@Darkestcatlol]

Def have too start somewhere, I have a question on if you write your lyrics first or your rhythm? My only criticism for the album is it's very wordy, still very nice work man.

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

I write the music and lyrics together, often music first but it's very barebones
There's also no set process, some songs were written very differently than others

[@kojishere1826]

AAAAAA!!!! THIS ALBUM WAS AMAIZNF HRSKB

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

:) so glad you liked it!!

[@unstrung65]

You are naturally creative , but you are not 'there' yet . The album is angry and 'negative' , but there is nothing wrong with that , but it's more cathartic than realized . I'm just giving my opinion . You are fighting yourself out of a bad situation . I look forward to your future albums . Hopefully you will find the right 'balance'

[@danielprofetabandcamp]

You get it my friend, thank you for listening
Catharsis is always the goal
Ever reaching towards balance
