about

This is part 5 of a 7 part visual concept album entitled: Bound. This track cryptically explores the writers personal wrestlings with faith and depression from 2004 to 2020 and his experience being put in a straight jacket in a psych ward. Layered with Biblical imagery, distopian synthesizers and a melancholic guitar line, this song will leave you crying, desperate, confused, and energized all at the same time. Welcome to our first single from the visual concept album, Bound.

lyrics

Did you see the sadness?
In 2004?
A haunted abandon
A sulfane ghost

An unsettling madness
A valent attraction
A smile and a napkin
To wipe off my teeth

who’s the deceiver?
heel hip and a cleaver
Fear folds the believer
don’t want to go home

What are you seeking?
Cause what I’m believing
Is that I’m caught in the ceiling
Afraid and alone

I was wearing a vest
When they made that arrest
Straps made of plastics
The hands of strange men

Was it all for the better?
Or were you the fetter?
Or were you the tether?
A rope in the rung?

When hang harrows to hung
(And I’m a ruse in the sun)
when the wrestler’s wrung
(When you see all I’ve done)
Will I be undone?
Or will I overcome?
(You will by my son)

Now I’m 24
And I’m feeling better
Beersheba’s a wrestler
Brother of God
