This song is a result of the pain and anger I felt.
Shame, regret, betrayal, guilt, vengeance, and revenge were the ingredients and this song was my cathartic release.
Malevolence
You left me to rot
Drowning in my shame
Remembering those vacant eyes and memories decayed
You can tear into me now
I’m not afraid
My absent soul cannot allow more pain
So I will wait as I wash away
Just another faceless whore who has been betrayed
Poisoned by a stream so vile inside of me
Seeds that sprout a demon’s child screaming to be free
Slithers out and flees
Bringing back your hollow eyes
A sacrifice for me
@isaria
The lyrics are strong while your voice remains soft. I like that combination.
Definitely following for more. Keep posting!

Beautiful song! But most important, beautiful way of releasing those negative feelings that woud've been stored inside to if not released.

That's amazing! It has a great guitar part and a beautiful melody. Even the momentary fret buzz adds to the effect (was it deliberate?). I don't listen to many of these entries 10 times!

Oh wow thank you so much Andy that really means a lot to me.
It's so hard for me to post live videos of myself because I'm painfully shy, but reading a comment like yours makes it worth it.
When I was practicing I kept hitting the 5th string too hard during that part of the song so I decided to just keep doing it. :-)

Haunting... as I'm sure your experience shall ever remain... Very well crafted, love your guitar - just wished your vocals would have occupied a more dominant space within the mix... All n' all - GREAT!

Man this is dark (I understand why). The music, melody....you captured some pain. Well done, good luck this week!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. Over the years I've known several people that really don't like this song because it is so dark. I get that.

Wow! There are very few songs that immediately make me want to listen again. I just have and I had initially thought the same as some of the other comments about the vocal/guitar mix, however on reflection, I feel it adds to the haunting atmospheric nature of the piece. Terrific contribution to OMW42. 👏👏👏
p.s. I also think it's good to be able to read the lyrics on the open mic originals especially when they are as important as yours.

I had a little bit of a hard time hearing/getting the vocals on this track, the music was very nice though, and enjoyed the time spent on it.
Thanks for sharing. <3

Well, that was a delicious bit of melancholy!
If I might make a suggestion about the volume of the vocal track, if you could sit in a position where you are facing the microphone while you're playing and singing, I think the vocals will be a bit more upfront. Just a suggestion.

Yes, the mic picked up too much of the guitar and I was too tired to redo it.
