These Words are My Woes

lyrics

[Music by Jouni Koskela, May 2010]
[Lyrics by Jouni Koskela, June 2010]

I was born under lights of a flickering blunder, dignified by subliminal slumber
Scarred by irreverent truths about what these walls have witnessed
Magnified by the fact that all covered up the tools I was raised to praise
In time the illusion cracked, I discovered, in here I am not safe

Terrified by oppressive behavior, too afraid to become any braver
Retained from my rights to receive respective treatment
(That's why I am incomplete)

Malevolent proof of another dispute, bruised by permeating view
Undone, unsung, unwilling to come and change this only world I knew
But still there was not one, not two, but three who tried to save my soul
Holepunched the mind and made me take it until my thoughts wore cold

Terrified by oppressive behavior, too afraid to become any braver
Retained from my rights to receive respective treatment
(That's why I am incomplete)
Anesthetized by violent demeanor, accompanied with depressive propension
This youth was crushed before it began to fulfill its intuition
(These words are my woes)

So now you know, the words that are my woes
Stand by to hear the dreams in stillborn-woven disguise
Rewound the line, twenty years in time
The point where innocence decided to leave the eyes

[Guitar Solo by Jouni Koskela]
