This song is not in a battle


Existential song, written today after exams.

Lyrics:
Do you feel like an angel, do you feel like a king?
Do you feel like you’ve finally sprouted wings?
Are you happy?
Do you flaunt yourself?
Do you love yourself and all your pretty little things?

Are you more than an animal, more than an ape?
Are you the master of a dream from which no one can escape?
Are you important?
Do you love yourself?
Do you raise yourself above everybody else?


Nothing remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in

Have I embarrassed you? See it for yourself.
In spite your misgivings; you come right off the shelf
Fully human
Fully plain
Never glorious, but always always vain
And you suffer, Just like everybody else
And you’re lonely
Just like everybody else
Never better, never better than yourself
And you’re holding on to something that you never really felt

Nothing remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in
Nothing  remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in

It covers your face
Like pearl colored lace, smothering what you think you are inside
Are you mortal?
Stamped to the bone
Neurons firing in pretty laser shows

Are you happy?
Are you important?
Fully human.
Are you special?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?

Can you feel it stretch? Stretch over your bones?
It tears like gossamer, it wrinkles o’er your nose
It keeps you from places you can’t go
And It keeps you from things you never know

Good track in general...I'm not sure about the mix and some of the arrangements sound a bit squeezed in there compared to the more intricate songs you put out.But there's some real good spots too.as usual Im a big fan....Keep em comin"""

Nice raw guitar feel, gives it a live atmophere.

Great track, the drums a are a bit buried in the mix.
