(.1L)Black Curtain(Hardcore Rock)

[Intro] [clean electric guitar with chorus effect, atmospheric synth pads] The vision of good lost in the bad forsaken by memory Black curtain Every stone stays unturned and leads to a dead-end trail Black curtain [drum fill, heavy distorted guitar riff enters] [Verse 1] [shouted vocals, driving double-kick drums] It starts when young and trauma whittles away Comprehension a luxury that can't be afforded Few and far between those bright happy days Years go by as the mind ensures past is warded [Chorus] [melodic singing, sustained power chords] A time when from wake to sleep life was battle joined A time when anxiety was constant uncertainty and fear (fear) [Post-Chorus] [instrumental break with heavy syncopated riffing] [Verse 2] [clean guitar arpeggios, bass-heavy mix] Trauma holds all sins and triumphs under lock and key Black curtain Desperate to find and hold onto those precious memories Black curtain [Bridge] [aggressive growled vocals, rapid snare rolls] What kind of world well adjusted and free of worry There for the taking by those not buried in self loathing Can I take this great big world by the horns if I hurry Or will frustration keep mounting with the mind exploding Never knowing the price for continued survival is insanity Black curtain Sometimes better to forget but the choice is never given Black curtain [Guitar Solo] [wah-wah pedal effect, fast alternate picking] [Outro] [drums drop out, clean guitar fades with reverb] A time when my memories gave no more curtain calls Black curtain A time when my memories gave A time when my memories gave No more curtain calls Black Curtain [final distorted chord rings out]
