about

This song appears courtesy of Wolfman Strikes Again! Music.
This song was recorded for Wolfman Strikes Again!'s EP, 'Under the Weather' in 2009.
I wanted to record a version to present it the way I've always heard it in my head.

(and it's still missing something...)

lyrics

I am a victim of my own mind
Held at gunpoint under my rhyme
The things I say don't mean a thing
Just like the word I call my name

She is afraid to break down
There's no one here to pick her up off the ground
She cannot sleep to that same sound
Of the grinding teeth inside her mouth

It's just a smoke, a coping mechanism
Because I can't put up with my own realism
And I will chase what I can't see
And learn to live with who I can't be

She says it's hard, it's not like breathing
You'll learn to test yourself away from leaving
And I can't wait to return to sea
And further chase who I can't be
