Give me your wallet, I'll preach you a sermon all about heaven and angels and demons. When you stare blindly there's nothing to see. My cloak of deception is covering me. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am not good. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am no good. I cower in the corner, my world has grown so small and when I try to grasp it, I find no world at all. A tired excuse for the life I can't achieve, but I'll be here crying that I believed. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am not good. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am no good. I hide behind a cheap facade. I hide behind what I am not. I hide behind a righteous cry. I hide behind my petty lies. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am not good. What I didn't say to you: I am not perfect, I am no good.

about

This is a mostly acoustic album recorded somewhere between '97 and '99. The details are light. My voice is weird. Metamorphosis is SO DAMN SLOW. It's a thing I made tho.
