about

The first track, originally written for the Electronic Saviors 3 compilation, though didn't quite make the cut. Thematically, it is a pastiche of details about self-esteem and health concerns, among things too personal.

lyrics

It's not what you feel but what your see
Take me down
Perpetuating it by degrees
Take me down
Yes I see what it does to me
Take me down
It's not a place that I want to be
Take me down

Try to make them realize dysfunction that is real
Every step I take just begs to be denied
So hard to see it through the nothing that I feel
Hard numb hands without the will to be of use

Lifes hard enough with pain like that
Three steps forward, four steps back
Every breath could be your last
But exhaustion enough to make you crack
Your friends and family all agree
That time and chance is theirs to see
Some drag you down, some set you free
Very few leave it up to me

Every plan's not good enough
Take me down
Always room to cheat or lie or bluff
Take me down
Once more into the black
Take me down
I'm never coming back
Take me down

Every hard-won cheap success I've never kept as mine
Cumulative, to far ahead to see the tide
Spin the old punchline until it twists to my design
Change will happen with or without my own will

Around every corner the unknown lies
Benefits often wear disguise
Lessons learned from those I despise
From the oldest lows to the riches highs
What you fear the most can be our guide
Codes and sigils to be implied
Past mistakes I'll cast aside
Emboldened by things once left aside

On the mend ready to attack
Take me down
Premeditate rather than react
Take me down
Razor sharp and carbon black
Take me down
I'm never looking back
Take me down
