about

Give Me A Day (part IV)

The Betrayed finishes his story, explaining how the entity tricked him into giving up his body by asking for a price he could never pay.

lyrics

You see,
I had forgotten something very, very important
Yes, in my own excitement,
I began plotting out crusades
For riches and glory and power
What did I know of freedom?
I was an ignorant peon
Who was born into a life of servitude
Obliging diamond-encrusted monsters
That would swallow up my kind on a whim
This was the only thing a man in my position could dream of
And caught up the moment,
I had suddenly realized I had been played!

I slept for a whole day,
And I wept, for I knew what was coming
I’d not be the same anymore…
My time had ended
So, I begged for a whole night,
And I cried as I held onto nothing
I’d not be me anymore!
He wanted his dream…

And then the djinn took form
-The shape of an eel
Careened back with his mouth open wide
And though I knew
There was no talking down his malevolence
I mustered the courage to ask him
To spare me my tongue

I’d have drained my blood!
I’d have drained my blood!
What’s the worth of your life if you’re not someone?
But he showed compassion
He didn’t take my tongue…
-Stuffed my body full of wickedness
I’m kicked out
O’ I’ve forgotten what it means to be alive!
And oh, it’s so tragic
‘Cause there’s no one home inside
I’m nothingness incarnate
I’m a throne without a king
The masterpiece!
The masterpiece!
I saw it within me!

I watched him become my soul!
And I didn’t want to believe!
And as my body was wrenched from out my clutch
I could finally see!

How the hole in the plot’s so clear!
For the start and the stop look the same
And it’s easy enough
To pick and pick and pick and pick
When you’re already there

No one’s coming
No one heard you
Disappointed?
Call my bluff!
Cause it’s hurting,
And you want me to stop
That automatic affirmation,
Do you understand how it made me this way?
That’s my story
Now, you’ll give me that day…

about

Beautifully Worthless Beings

Yet another Justin Bonitz side-project, which revolves around very long, singular songs split into multiple parts but meant to be listened to as one, and they written, recorded, and mixed in just ten days time.

The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
