Demo Version Of Annaliese Written And Recorded By Authentic Imperfection

Can't Read These Signs, Spaced Out So Wide,
Always Been Defined, By The Simplest Defect.
Give It Some Time, Give This Some Time,
One Day You'll Find, You Haven't Always Been Defective.

Trapped In This Bind, Of When You Actually Feel Fine,
The Scales Won't Align, 
Because Everything Has Turned Out Alright.

For Now,
Escape.
For Now,
Escape, For Now
Evade,
Be Evasive.

Never Could Pretend, To Fully Understand...
The Purpose Of This Fear, After It's Washed Away...

Let You're Sincerity Wear Out....
Let The Machinery Break Down...

Annaliese (demo)

Written & Recorded By Authentic Imperfection in a Basement on a hill

When My Mind Watches Me, 
I Watch Right Back.
No Guarantee, There Will Be Change.
When This Life Passes Me,
I Ignore RIght Back,
'Till Finally, There Is Only This Hole.

When We Fall Too Far In,
Knowledge Is Backtracked,
You're Happy To Be Devoid, Of All The Thoughts You've Ever Known.
When My Mind Watches Me,
I Watch Right Back,
I Stare Right Back,
I FIght Right Back.

Fight Back...

When This Crushing Is Loudest,
I Scream Right Back.
No Guarantee, I'll Make It Out Alive.
When This Nothingness Descends, Down To Attack,
I'll Hit Right Back,
I'll Fight Right Back.

Holding You Ever Tighter As I Push You Away,
A Straight Decision Has Yet To Be Made.
Hold On Tightly To Both Choices Anyway,
Even Though They Could Both Disintegrate.
Pick Them Apart To The Pieces Of Their Origins,
Think Back To A Time When You Still Needed Them,
To Come Together As One, 
Until The Weakness Is Gone And Finally,

Fight Back.....

Two Sides (demo)

Oxblood - Written and Recorded by Authentic Imperfection

Show You The Side That's Twisted.
Only For Now, It's Bitter.
Tell Me It's Alright Anyway.
Don't Look Away, If There's Nothing To Say.

Showed You The Side That's Desperate.
Took All The Fear, Exposed It To The Air.
Hold All My Lies As Precious.
Don't Ask Me Why...

Showed You The Side That's Brittle.
Normally I'm Fine, Today I Want To Cry.
Don't Ask Me Why...
Call You To My Side, As Long As You're Alive.
Wilt On The Inside.
This Rush It Keeps Me High.
Driven To This Life.
Forced To Tell This Lie.

Lie...
We're Caught In  A Lie.

Everything To Hide, 
'Cause You're Still Alive
Caught Up In This Lie,
'Cause That's How We Survive.

Oxblood (demo)

Disconnect From The World,
It Pretends To Have A Hold On You,
Then Gaze Straight Ahead...

Sit And Stare At The Never Ending.

This Pushes Down To Crush, You Push Back Hard,
There's Nothing Normal When You Simply...

Sit And Stare At The Never Ending.

Fast Forward To The Days,
When You Won't Complicate, 
These Intricate Details.

Sit And Stare At The Never Ending.

Possibilities,
Stretch Far And Endlessly,
Your Mind Can Hardly Reach.

Sit And Stare At The Never Ending.

Now You See,
How Shallow You Feel.
Now You See,
How Shallow We Breath.

Sit And Stare At The Never Ending...


Witchcraft (demo)

No Resolution

"You Think I'll Get In The Way.
Pull You In From Far Away.
A Distraction, Fuck You Up Stagnate.
And I Think Too Fast, But You're Too Fast For Me In Other Ways.

Form These Pathways, No Reversal,
Time Alone Is Just Rehearsal,
Think These Lines Over And Over,
When The Moment Comes,
They're Internal.

And There's Method To This Madness,
You Think I'll Get In The Way.
Internal Complex Process,
How Could You Ever Know That Anyway.
Yes, There's Method To This Madness,
Won't Admit, You Feel The Same Way.
Internal Complex Process."

EP 2017

No Resolution

"Total Control, Is All I've Ever Known Till You,
Until You.
Rearrange This Inside Track Just For you.
Yes It's True.

And It's Hard To Recreate A Moment, 
That's Completely, New.
So Unused.
All These Memories, Dedicated Focused And Confused,
Just Like You.

Ripped Apart And Denying What We Feel.
What We Feel.
Follow, Instead, A Path We've Laid Out,
It's Logical. Just So Practical.
Rush Past Our Instinct, Reach Out To Another.
Whose The Other.
Save It For Another Situation Far less Suitable,
So Incredible.

The Tighter I Hold You, The Further You'll Fall From Me.

This Feed Back Loop, Of Memory,
Is Pulling, Dragging Back On Me.
This Feed Back Loop Of Memory, 
Is Always Pulling, Dragging Me."

Intrinsic Beauty

When The Fear, Of Holding On,
Is Finally, Passed And Gone. 
Every Decision, That Could Be Made, 
Says You're Useless, Start To Shut Down.

Pin Point Of Light Strikes The Centre, 
Steel Rod Of Hope Like, No Other.
Force Into Place, Shut Down The Regret,
Leave Everything Else To Waste. x 2

When The Point, Of Giving In,
Has Taken Everything, Once Again.

Throw Up These Hands, Give Up Your Place.
Negative Impact, Negative Space x 2
Pin Point Of Light Strikes The Centre, 
Steel Rod Of Hope Like No, Other,
Force Into Place, Shut Down The Regret,
Leave Everything Else To Waste. x 2

Negative Impact

"Stare Down The Reason You Can't Think,
Focus On Ways To Try And Speak.
Take Another Look As A Sideways Glance,
Test For Weakness, You're The Weakest Link.
So Naturally, You're Mine.

So I Fuck With You 
And Crush You Till You're Totally Dismantled.
I Fuck With You 
And Crush You Till You're Totally Left Behind. x2

Take You're Beating Heart, Splintered From Years Apart,
Sink It Deep From Forgiveness.
And The Memories, We Are Both Far From Free,
Why Won't They Just Stay Behind.
Stare Down The Reason, You Can't Think At All,
You Can't Admit That You're Mine.
Begging For Safety, It's Never Going To Change,
So I Just Walk Away.

So I Fuck With You 
And Crush You Till You're Totally Dismantled.
Yeah I Fuck With You 
And Crush You Till You're Totally Left Behind."

Tapestry

An Open Ended Habit Had You,
Had You Staring At The Same Wound.
A Simple State Of Mind It Had You,
Had You Tear At That Same Wound.

Thoughts As Steel And Gears Ground Deep,
From This Mind There's No Release.
Dig That Wound Again And Again, 
Your Eyes Held Closed Won't Fool This Machine,

If You Feel The Pain, As I Feel The Pain,
You Should Know That We Both Fucking Hurt The Same,
If You Know That It's There And You Won't Complain,
Push It Aside, Bear Down, Be Strong,
But We're Just Not.

We Didn't Get That Far, We Didn't Get That Far x2
We Couldn't Get That Far.

That Open Ended Habit Had You,
Had You Staring At The Same Bruise.
A Simple State Of Fear It Had You,
Had You Press Upon That Same Bruise.

A Restless Mind With It's Throughts Ground Deep,
From This Pain There's No Release.
Dig That Wound Again And Again, 
Your Fist Held Closed Won't Scare This Machine,

If You Feel The Pain, As I Feel The Pain,
You Should Know, That We Both Fucking Hurt The Same,
If You Know That It's There And You Won't Complain,
Push It Aside, Bear Down, Be Strong,
But We're Just Not.

We Didn't Get That Far, We Didn't Get That Far x3
We Couldn't Get That Far.

Siamese Lions

"Can't Compromise, And Built To Analyze.
Time Gained And, Time Is Wasted.
No It Doesn't Matter When, 
No Second Is The Same.

Disproportioned, Sense Of Direction.
Falling Deep Into, What You Don't Know.
Disregard The Pull Of A Memory.
Scatter Every Element,
Thant Brings Them Close.

All That Matters, Is That This Matters.
Learned, To Hate This Surface.
Complete Disaster.
It's Just Components And They, They're Never Wasted.
You've, Already Given More, Then I Could Ask More x 2

More, Then I Could Ask For.
That's All That Matters..."
