about
I recorded this back in Easter of this year (2020).
It is heavily Opeth inspired!
The song is a personal story of the anger and pressure I feel in my life, and about people who call you out on your weaknesses when they have equal problems of their own.
On the song I play bass, guitar, lead vocals, backing vocals and arranging the virtual drum sounds. As well as the artwork, I've done everything myself!
lyrics
INTRO
CHORUS
You say I am wasting my time.
If I'm blind then you are too!
You say I'm either a fascist or an anarchist,
And if I'm blind then you are too!
You say I'm not a man if I haven't had sex.
And if I'm blind then you are too!
Don't criticize my life with your terminal views,
And if I'm blind then you are too!
VERSE 1
I crumble down.
No words but my name.
Feeling pain and anger,
Of a friendship turned sour.
VERSE 2
“Rise from my words”,
You said in caution.
The pressure to purchase.
Everyone is focused on me.
BRIDGE 1
Nothing Stop.
Manipulation.
I have blocked many but I can still block you.
Why wouldn't you leave me alone?!
VERSE 3
Our history goes back,
And I feel I can't respond.
In dark and uncalled responses,
Yet I choose to respect.
We will never see eye to eye.
That is quite certain.
But do not be a fool,
Even in right of words.
BRIDGE 2
Nothing Stop.
Manipulation.
I have blocked many but I can still block you.
Why wouldn't you leave me alone?!
VERSE 4
Peace and Bliss.
I feel tranquil from the pain.
I have given it time to heal,
Yet a few linger on.
In time I will open up my arms,
But to fewer than before.
God give me strength,
To keep on living.

CHORUS
You say I am wasting my time,
And if I'm blind then you are too!
You say I'm either a fascist or an anarchist,
And if I'm blind then you are too!
You say I'm not a man if I haven't had sex.
And if I'm blind then you are too!
Don't criticize my life with your terminal views,
And if I'm blind then you are too!
