    Default Head-Wound City III

    Took parts of Wolf Names and Part II and added new junks. These lyrics are being used for our newest jams, I'm pretty proud of how well it came out since it's very personal to me. lyrics in boxes are unclean vocals (screams/whatever you wanna call em). Several joint screams/cleans are sang simultaneously, which adds alot to it. It's a pretty exciting song for us, I'd love some feedback.


    You’ve been sleeping and I’ve been rehearsing
    My explanation to figure the best misdirection.

    Oh cure, I'm the loneliest disease
    I welcome what in turn will destroy me
    Sleep sound, we’ve fooled them all
    No one can see through us; only us.
    [Only us]

    We never understand but we always fear
    And those nervous last words we’ve been dying to hear?
    [I never loved you, now you are free to leave]
    Well they were worth waiting for

    Lay back down to think of time and what it's done
    [Can we take back what we can only give once?]

    Oh, I don’t mean to preach
    But I’ve got so much to say
    There are so many things you’ve taken for granted
    But now you come in close
    Before my mouth has time to form the words
    falling forward
    [I fall for yours]

    [Don’t forget that halos can be bought, and hers, it tilts]
    [Echoing her every word, your conscience begs 'don’t fall for it']
    And I give in, how appropriate
    [That I wake with my own]

    I won't say it's obvious
    But I’d be lying if I said I’m surprised
    Stumbling the borderline
    Could we pick a side?
    [White noise reminders of what we hide from the world]
    [Oh you can save yourself, just not from me]
    [You beg for distance? I beg to differ.]

    I like this. It's got something to it, like a melancholy but resigned-to-fate soliloquy
    I like these - "You beg for distance? I beg to differ." and "Don’t forget that halos can be bought, and hers, it tilts."
    "If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, I'd hide somewhere faraway..."
