Lyrics:
I take what I get
Half blind and naked
But I tapped the answer
Set the distance
And we run when I say Go

A surface twisted
A future fisted
There is a cancer in the system
That we spun
Let it grow

Why the cruelty
When I was lonely trusting you

You still believe that you were blessed
By the stone that you caressed
When your words are so undressed
You're not singing for me

When your blade is thrust in
My pen is rusted
No kind of language
Makes a difference
When the gun is gonna blow

You tried and tested it
Removed my tourniquet
But a little more damage
To a wall already broken
Doesn't show

My integrity
Lies under that tide too
Tonight

I take what I get
Half blind and naked
But I tapped the answer
Set the distance
And we run when I say Go

A surface twisted
A future fisted
If there's a reason to carry on
When you find it
You will know

Why the battlefield
I did not declare this War

You still believe that you were blessed
By the stone that you caressed
When it's pounding in your chest
You're not singing for me

I write and record the music for my painting videos on YouTube, and this is one of my newest tracks. The gritty sound underneath the drums was sourced from FreeSound.org. Everything else created using Logic Pro instruments. Enjoy!
