Authentic Imperfection

A soft intro leading into a tight build releasing into an aggressive mantra decaying into beautiful Harmonics


Water

Vs 1:
Watch
as my mind
Beckons to show me, the desperate and lonley
Thoughts, that we all try to hide.

Vs 2: 
How I'd love to know, what there is beneath
Every single frame, of this dull routine
Fighting urgently, for that one release
Bringing back to us, our own sanity.

Chorus:
Tell me, why you, will not, touch me.
Tell me, why you, will not
Hurt me.

Tell me, why you, cannot feel me,
Tell me, why you, will not,
Help me.

Rise & Fall (demo)

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)

"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

You're Final Thoughts
They Give Away
The Only Evidence
You're Still Awake

And You'll Never Give The Reasons Why, You're Always Hiding Out Inside.
Never Give The Reason's Why, You're Always Hiding Out Inside
Drowning In The Only World You Know.
Bound Up With No Air or Light
To Separate And Stay Divided
Driven By The Only Fear You Know.

These Hidden Thoughts
Give You Away
To Be So Distant......

But Never Give The Reason's Why, You're Always Hiding Out Inside
Locked Up In The Only World You know
Bound Up With No Air Or Light
You Might Loose Your Final Life Line
Look Into the Fear There is No Fight.


Distant (Demo)

Too True, Too Honest,
Too Fragile To The End.
Too Trusting, Too Innocent,
And Perfectly Discontent.

Chorus 1:
We're Not, Born Broken,
So Why Do We Break Apart.
We're Not Born Hallow.
So Why Do We,
Ring And Echo

Vs 2:
So Clean, So Brittle,
So Pure And Too Pristine.
To Be, This Damaged,
And Utterly Discontent

Chorus 2:
We're Not, Born Broken,
So Why Do We Break Apart.
We're Not, Born Jaded.
So Why Do We,
Give Up So Early.

Outro:
We're Not, Born Broken,
So Why Do We Break Apart.
We're Not, Born Hollow,
Useless, Or Shallow.
We're Not Born Broken, 
So Why Do We Break Apart.
We're Not Born Jaded,

Elliott's End

Vs 1: 
Overexposed To Unspeakable Selfishness,
Fumble And Fuss With Unbreakable Bonds.
Focus Intently On This Moment Unbearable,
Drawing You Close To When You Take Control.

Chorus:
Unwanted Control x2

Vs 2:
Bring A Discussion From A Newly Banked Memory,
Into The Spotlight Of These Fears And Doubts.
Follow The Footprints Of Each Word And Moment,
Softly Spoken To Give You Control.

Chorus 2: 
Unwanted Control x2

Outro:
Focus Intently On This Moment Unbearable,
Drawing You Close To When You Take Control.
