Deaf Exasperation
Deaf Exasperation (12/5/2005)
I’m staring out a window screaming
Can anybody out there hear me?
I’m freeing my demons
Please just listen…
And I’m on your rooftop crying
To the world from which I’m hiding
Do you see me? Can you hear this?
No one listens, be alone now
I thought I was done with crying
Was everybody out here lying?
I hate this, embrace this
You never listened…
And I’m here in this basement crying
Desparation’s in my writing
I’m rocking and praying
No one listens, I’m alone now
I could never gain attention
And I’ve learned to hate perfection
You hold it, I loathe it
I can not listen
Fuck everyone and your perception
I don’t care what’s my intention
Believe this, I need this
Can you listen? No you can’t now
No you can’t now
No you can’t now
No you can’t…
Label me as the broken fallen
Stay with me my dear exhaustion
I need this, I bleed it
Are you listening to the sound now?
I hate this…
I breathe this…
I need you now!!!!!!!
Fuck everyone and your perception
I don’t care what’s my intention
You hold it, I loathe it
I will not listen, just like you now
Just like you now
Just like you now
Just like you…
I’m staring out a window screaming
Can anybody out there hear me?
I’m freeing my demons
Please just listen, I’m begging you now
Notes: I wanetd to experiment with something a little different. I won’t lie, the new Korn album definitely influenced me in that search for something different. Songs like “Throw Me Away” and “Tearjerker” just really got me thinking of what it would be like to do a really dark ballad. This is the end result. Anything in italics is actually sung loudly and harshly (not screamed, though) while the rest is sung in a more subdued, Aaron Lewis acoustic ballad sort of tone. On the emotional side of it, this is one of the few pieces I cried during. It’s honest. Maybe it’s not direct and at one point that everyone wants to see, but it’s very honest.
