Gray Skies (ver3-HellesBelles) collab Moi Y Darknesscome

[production note: vocals effects: pitch shift randomly throughout song but always retain a crunchy overdriven sound, close mic] [Verse: baritone female vocals, half spoken, fast delivery, no long sustains] I wake up to an every day gray sky, Shudder shake take the panic Put it away (lay there awake) dreams mockingly haunting me Lay there motionlessly Or wantonly tossing sheets [guitar riff] quiet fears, bearers of terror’s gorge rising up my gut gone corrupt [pitch shift gradually higher] Whispering secrets obscure Idon't wanna hear cannot endure Not right now (Not right now not right now not right now) Truths i do not want to touch voices i cannot hush Look… hey look… the sky feels endlessly empty a story streaming… [spoken questioningly] I Cant tell Am I Still [pitch shift suddenly down] dreaming? (dreaming.) AHAHAHAHAHA [Verse] I left yesterday, in a brutal haze of blasé REMORSELESS Careful, not to be the focus Of this omnipresent grey Sticks to the skin (sickens never goes away) Every thing in one shake Trembles like leaves and leaves So disorienting i clutch my chest(labored breaths) trying to breathe (barely wheeze) [music backs way off] (In my dead mothers voice someone speaks) [spoken female voice of concern] [music stops for a monent to bring focus on lyrics] Oh dear me honey Are you okay? [music returns where it left off] caught suspended, are you going insane? Hahahahah something under the skin… Lingers...) I show wonder, (I experience horror, i am an idiot) and brilliant, i have been betrayed By one i called brother I lay me down Before it drags me under. Better to smother before you are smothered [Verse] The soft light pierces, i reassured resolve inadequacy returns (sudddenly there) Flitter like a bird, obvious ( like a crow caw) like the yawn of a maw (Whose precipice i stagger on) Dreams never come yet pull at me, (taught the line Sharp the shank Fake the thanks Hate the taste Hooked my face I run in an illusion of freedom) YANK Its a gone grey game to leave me tired, lamed, no hope Exhausted end of my rope And only then will i be Pulled up into the boat [Verse] The gray morning, Under a desolate swoon Exaggerated A poorly colored cartoon Time vexes (stretches) unexpected (Wretched it accelerates) moments seems precious (yet its gone too soon) Lost to a rhythm that turns every hesitation Into a betrayal (worse than sin A crime) I become a glutton Of my own ticking time Yet i dont know what im suppose to be Know, do, go, accrue What to find, lose, let go, or improve [sung in a childlike voice] You seem content so tell me your secret (Whisper it I will keep it warm and tucked away In a cloth of color Hidden from the grey) [bass build] (See any land, where joy blooms? Hmmm so its Like black precedes grey And decay follow souls ) Night lingered too long, (Mercurial song sung Till my lips bled) Its quiet form, (gently promising) Never reveals, what lays ahead. (Resigned to remind What lay behind) [Bridge] I stay( in dawn’s illusion, ) Cursing the grey constance (To show me one instance Of a truth that resisted it Unmauled) hidden fears softly called (In the twilight.) In the (consort) comfort, Of dreams (trembling fragile life) Joy and sorrow (forever) together (bound unified) Against a Foreshadowed brooding sky... (brooding skyyy)
