A Self​-​Imposed Suffering

from Purenas by Fotgjengeren

/

about

This track was originally composed for Serj Tankian's "Seven Note Challenge" coordinated by Creative Armenia. I had to use the 7 notes he gave as the first 7 of the composition. After that every participant had complete liberty to write whatever they wanted. I only had a week to write and record the composition and this is what came from that. For Purenas I rerecorded the parts and added female vocals.

lyrics

Slowly turning to his side
Eyes focused on the wall
As his self-imposed suffering
On him does befall

A chance woefully slipped by
Ponders solemnly
Cherishing each moment fondly

Lets out a somber sigh
*Sigh
Takes another moment to reflect

The silence lingers
(Silence)
Each breathe audible
*Breath in *Breath out
Scraping the edges of his mind
For some way to redeem himself
But finds himself unable

A desire left unexpressed
A question unanswered
Lingers in eternity

The inescapable doldrums
Withers away like specks of dust

Still silent and restless as dusk now turns to dawn
