Description
The fourth song off of my EP album Heaven, Hell, Hospital. A small theme album I did in which the songs are focused around a hospital, life, loss, death, and the questions it leaves. This track is very angry - it follows Remission on the album and is supposed to be a true change from the confusion and sorrow into full blown anger when nothing can be done. Fast driving bear, more megaphone filter, and a strange whispered chorus all try to bring out the built up rage in this track.
Lyrics
(VERSE 1) Insecurities surround me and I am blinded Now just tell me is this everything you hoped for? I watch this all in silence with blocked senses Now just tell me are you happy as my heart hits the floor All I know is that my love just falls apart And now I watch through someone elses closed eyes This is all somehow like a bloody horror movie Now are you happy as you say your goodbyes Lackadaisical as I watch it all And you can watch me fall - Remember what you saw (CHORUS) I will write these wrongs and You are just a liar Never forgive I will set this world on fire This sounds the same as I grow more tired (Scream) Never forget And I will set this world on fire (VERSE 2) I watch as the world gets swallowed up around this place No help will come so we can pray to get taken away But it never helps and no one ever comes to save us And we all scream and cry out aloud, we're not okay But worse than the screaming and dreaming is the silence When no one is around to even hear our pleas So let's run and hide, we'll just run away I wish I was the person that you wanted me to be So look me in the eyes and mine are full of fire Flames burn so bright and you can't look back My hands are now clenched in fists as it's all unfair And the heat burns in my mind, it sears but I don't care And while the doctors try to save you I'll just keep punching walls Cause with nothing else to do anger consumes me Lackadaisical as I watch it all And you can watch me fall - Remember what you saw (VERSE 3) Now back to a world where the clocks are tolling Keep on tripping and there's no beginning If there's a God above then he sure is twisted And if there's a point to life then I sure missed it Hands together tonight as I say another prayer sweating in silence as I keep my head clear I pray for you, not for me, keep the bible near I pray to anything that you hold dear I'm not ready to lose you and be on my own I hold your hand as you tell me to let go And my tears are shed as I tell you I won't Goodbyes are hardest as we get on with the show My phone is ringing, I'll ignore the call Doctors run screaming all through the halls Lackadaisical as I watch it all And you can watch me fall - Remember what you saw (Chorus)
