New Songs::Post 3 - A Telling Departure

This song is actually the 1st one we ever wrote. It was put on the back-burner for a little while, but we decided to bring it back as it has such a good energy, and is a great live song.

On a high level, the song is about encounters with fake people. The ones that always try so hard to portray this immaculate image, when in reality are just covering up an aspect of themselves that is usually the exact opposite. Some recent examples - Roger Clemens, Elliot Spitzer (former NY Attorney General), Mark Foley (former Florida Congressman). Those examples in no way inspired the song, but it's just to give you an idea of the premise.

Here is a video of the song from our 1st show:




all these things came running faster
2 hearts fold in a broken disaster
each their smiles are manufactured
jaw-breaking on a face of plaster

An enigma has faded, exposed at the seams
The illusion derailed by a dark epiphany
as flashbacks of contradictions fill the sky
hide behind tradition to shield all the lies
fake image created of morality
but a demonic creature lives behind the scenes

you vehemently deny any wrong doing

so, this is how you say
this is how we go our seperate ways
go - so far away
where I can't hear you scream
where I can't feel you break

Your religion has jaded the concept of creed
a system of beliefs that reads more like anomolies
actions and scriptures combat eye to eye
preach truth on honesty while feeding out lies
fake image created of morality
but a demonic creature lives behind the scenes

the blatant hypocricy brings the blood to a boiling

So, this is how you say
this is how we go our seperate ways
Go, so far away
where I can't hear you scream
where I can't feel you break
