about

It's a breakup song.

And not even really a healthy one.

I'm still hurting and I don't know what to do about it.

So I made this.

...Anyway, it contains a sample from Al Pacino's "Scent of a Woman" during a very passionate scene where the main character is threatening death by suicide. (Uh, I'm not hurting *that* bad, but the words "I'm in the dark" seemed fitting both to my project and to my frame of mind)

The lyrics for this were actually written years ago, as I observed the difficult breakup of a friend. The second verse actually refers directly to him and some of his ex-lovers by alias's. To protect the innocent, I won't explain any further.

lyrics

This is a delusion of the hormones of the blood within the young,
And none can flee this pestilence that takes away one's logic.
Pushing in the needle of denial, to the point of your demise,
This is the folly in the longing of the look of lover's eyes.

This is the walk on broken glass,
This is the dance on razor's edge,
This is the poet's muse on acid
Burned to smoke and left for dead.

These are the knifelike teeth of hatred
And the burning fires of hell,
And by the divine right of logic
I declare it serves you well.

Nothing and no one, never again
Self presevation is my only friend
Silence your sentiment, it leads to the end
To turn my mind into wreckage again

I am the declaration, flee the lies and see the light
To all your putrid congregations and your co-dependent blight
I see the Dolls of Broken Glass, giving rise to the Decay
I hear the call of distant Ravens and the rise of misery,

I see the trail of human wreckage leading back to what you were,
And now the best of what is left of you is found under the earth
I will flee this human wreckage, before it ever can begin,
I do not believe the ancient books, but this is the only sin!
