Deranged

Описание: A sort of doom metal blues…
Well… I was experimenting with the effect of playing one octave below
the lead simultaneously … giving this heavy metal sounding grip..

The lyrics are about beating alcoholism or
Addiction of any kind that keeps you chained to the contract signed
With the devil.. or your devil if you like..

Some surrealistic lyrics and underwater sounds and voodoo spells…
The question is…. Who poised the well?



Deranged

I can’t taste
Nothing
Got a dry mouth
I can’t fake
A thing
Way down South
Gotto go
Where the liquor flows

The devil knows my name
What I’m all about
We’ve got something
in common now
That steel string knife
At its cutting edge

The murder it allows
Becomes a wedge….for

Chorus

a …kind hearted soul
Bleeding out
The moon hangs low

And here we are
on my stomping ground
Bar-tenderness In a gaslit town

Nothing’s changed
Except for the sound
Of that
Deranged

Old bottle neck
cuts a lil deeper ,
than you’d expect
Ending up with
No feelings left

An unstable act
Sobriety’s just ..
for show
It lacks
A conscious soul
Spurs and spikes
To drill
a mental hole
In these thirsty dustbowl
savages and look a-likes

Temptation grows
prohibition veins
For whom the bell ….tolls

Chorus

Alcohol …………
A mood runs low

And here we are
on my stomping ground
Bar-tenderness in a gaslit town
Nothing’s changed
Take a good look around
Search for that deranged ….clown

Solo

Got a dry mouth
I can’t fake a thing
Way down South
Who allowed
You to poison the well
Talk to your inner self

The devil shows
The contract to sell
Tricks & voodoo spells

Who poisoned the well?
Do we know him well?
Only death can tell
[only death can tell]

outro

Deranged ..it’s over ..now
stone cold sober
Deranged….I told her…….
Deranged…..
it’s over………………….now
