I know that this is all on you
A "friend" who slips a knife in my heart
And, then laughs as the blood spews...out!
I'm shanked in the back as you depart
Sowed oats that left collateral damage
Left in your wake of just having fun
Took no prisoners in your follied rampage
Just to have your time in the sun...
I cower and scream as I pull out the knives
In denial, excused how you behaved
No one in my corner or on my side
No understanding on why you caved
You had kindness and care from a heart true
Now, you stare with blindness in a world of blue....
3rd party influence steers for you
People pleasers wear too many masks
Without your lists, you know not what to do
A separate stage for each and all tasks

Brutally violent imagery to start; jangle plus the 3/4 time help keep things off-kilter a bit and unbalanced, in a good way. Sounds like the aftermath of getting away from an abusive and/or fake individual.

Really like the vibe here and the arrangement plays very well together, it hooks you and stays engaged throughout. The vocals and lyrics have an immediacy to them that feels like the emotions behind them had to come out now and in this form. The whole thing feels raw in a way that feels alive in the moment, not some overly-processed after-thought.
Nice work! I hope these tracks are as cathartic as they sound.
