Deliver Me 03:52
Count the bones Left in my broken body But you know For you were the one that stole them from me So I’m alone Left me in pieces to be Found in the ground Bound And drowned in the waters of womb To be reborn To be an enemy To see the inner me For the corpse I am ready to be To be all yours For time infinity To be pure energy Please deliver me I’m free Mount the storm Become one with the pouring rain Like once before When you saw the The tyrant you became This rage It dwells in the wells of your pitiful pain And again You abstain From your violent new campaign To be reborn To be an enemy To see the inner me For the corpse I am ready to be To be all yours For time infinity To be pure energy Please deliver me I'm free Move in tandem - perfect synergy Take the tangent - break the symmetry I will devour all you give to me Dwell in the shadows of my captivity Speak the language of divinity Feast my eyes on malignant imagery Bask in the power of all you give to me And lust for the gift of your anonymity To be reborn To be an enemy To see the inner me For the corpse I am ready to be To be all yours For time infinity To be pure energy Please deliver me I’m free

about

I wrote this song during a very low moment. For me, this song is about how depression can sometimes feel like otherworldly possession; as if something else is piloting you. I said and did things that I never thought I would say or do. I didn't recognise myself. I was bitter, cold, aloof, angry, and spiteful. At times, I felt like ending things. It didn't feel like I would be doing it to myself, because I didn't even feel like myself. I felt like I was constantly battling a demon that was hollowing me out and I just wanted it to end. I wanted to be free.

If you are struggling with depression or thoughts of suicide, I beg of you, please reach out to someone. Anyone. There are resources that can help you and I promise it gets better.

I want to thank my producer Cody for sticking with me while we worked on this track for an entire year, and I want to thank my good friend Ivy whose re-envisioning of this song absolutely blew my mind when I heard it.
