about
Chris in try hard Black Sabbath mode perhaps, lyrically talking about the grip that substances, especially alcohol can take on us or our loved ones and some of the thoughts around watching that happen to people you love. Words and Music by Chris Szkup with a few riffs subconciously borrowed from things in a jam session between the Szkup Brothers.
lyrics
Very few can escape my reach
Utter devastation I teach
So strong I make my victims feel
To the point where it seems so real
The poison that cunningly
Subtracts all good qualities
Is everything the victim needs
The obvious cannot be seen
Add to the fast growing tally
Self inspired calamity
Violence, abuse, incoherency
Hero's honesty
Most addictive in existence
Encouraged from adolescence
Once abused now the abusee
The next generation falls victim to me
Beautiful mess taking hold of thee
Lust for feeling free artificially
Deep down I know you're crushing me
But a way out I do not see
My rebellion grows
The truths are known
But some can't be shown
This one you'll never own
It's all about breaking the patterns
Focusing on what really matters
Time for excuses gone, before evil has won
Those bad habits you gotta shatter
So many things that will be missed
Lost opportunity from self imposed sick
We gotta make it count, while we are still around
It's time to stand up and be counted
Utter devastation I teach
So strong I make my victims feel
To the point where it seems so real
The poison that cunningly
Subtracts all good qualities
Is everything the victim needs
The obvious cannot be seen
Add to the fast growing tally
Self inspired calamity
Violence, abuse, incoherency
Hero's honesty
Most addictive in existence
Encouraged from adolescence
Once abused now the abusee
The next generation falls victim to me
Beautiful mess taking hold of thee
Lust for feeling free artificially
Deep down I know you're crushing me
But a way out I do not see
My rebellion grows
The truths are known
But some can't be shown
This one you'll never own
It's all about breaking the patterns
Focusing on what really matters
Time for excuses gone, before evil has won
Those bad habits you gotta shatter
So many things that will be missed
Lost opportunity from self imposed sick
We gotta make it count, while we are still around
It's time to stand up and be counted
