Beware - free streaming and free download no sign-up or bullshit
A live recording of my vocal on the microphone and the direct input from my keyboard into the computer.
This song is a bit bare and long in the tooth imo. I would love to revisit it at some point and add harmonies, shorten the lyrical content and add more instrumentation.
As it is, I hope this song comes across as a personal thing. Its not meant to be some beautiful singer/songwriter hit, its purpose is to vent. Why I even put it online for general consumption idk, its all wrapped up in expectations of myself and others expectations of me, along with the desire to be heard and perhaps understood.
Pure folly basically.
Anyway, enjoy this if you can.
Lyrics:
Beware the monster as it walks down the hall
no defence from the sirens call
Stand in place as it freezes your blood through
be ever cautious of the bump in the night
are you ready to run? take flight!
Oh shes coming for you
beware the fateful knock at the door
ask who goes for you can never be sure
whats waiting for you
reality takes unreal shapes
seething shadows cloud your way
fits of anger and calling names
i never wanted things to be this way
accusations of respect and blame
dont understand, this is insane
What on earth are we to do?
Revelations of stone and pain
writhing in the light and shamed again
but it makes no difference
nothing seems to stand in your way
bringing out old cuts and flames
reminding me of mistakes I made
never looking at your own
in the same damn ways
careful of the monster walking down the hall
shes gonna get you, will you fall?
get the cracks lest they tear you
off balance can you keep your weight
cos you know theres no other way
Im afraid youll have to push thru
she doesnt see the destruction in her name
never takes, any of the blame
you better hide as she cuts your name in two
wrapped up like a spiders fly
are you afraid, someday you will die
will she be the death of you?
