day 21 of inktober: CHAINS
Song Title: The Weight of Expectations (Section I: Chains)
disclaimer: Vocals were a bit rushed, so they are far from perfect. I plan on redoing all vocals and re-mastering all the songs at the end of the month.
lyrics:
So help me.
Why can't I
Just let me be?
These chains are heavy!
Stuck by this fence!
With this iron, intense!
Cannot think straight!
Nothing equates!
Down in the dirt, chained like a dog
With my malleable mind that can't see through the fog
I beg for a time where I could see my desires
Come to fruition, but they're hard to acquire
Observing others, some have what they want
The rest do not, they feel left in the dumps
Am I in the middle? Or is there a side?
These questions kill me! So just let me hide!
Behind this fence!
With this iron, intense!
No, I cannot think straight!
And nothing equates!
So you think that 'cause you can't see the chains
That they do not exist? Is that really your way?
It's not just me, you're locked up too
But you have some pleasure. You know that you do.
A colleague to talk to, a pet that you walk
These are just two things I have yet to unlock
But I first need a key for this burden
It does not exist, I am certain.
So be by this fence!
With this iron, intense!
No, I cannot think straight!
Nothing equates!
