FATAL CONCEIT - AS IT BURNS

3 years ago

#AsItBurns begins as a melancholy, introspective song that expands into a fierce and crushing riff-fest, written by #ShreditorInChief, Timothy Martuch (ASCAP). If you're interested in who or what this song is about (beyond what the lyrics make obvious), maybe the #Shreditor can put together an explanatory video for you.

So, here's some history on this song: Unlike most music that Tim brings to the band, this began with the lyrics. The lyrics were started and completed on August 13th, 2019 and the music was started the following morning.
In addition to adding to the list of songs in the band composed in drop tunings, this song also is among the first songs by Tim to contain #SpicyVocals. The harsh vocal fry was recorded on an ElectroVoice RE20 microphone with impressive results.

Lyrics:
3 ounces at a time, I kill my senses
I cross another line, lowered defenses
Numbing everything

I pour another one, I want to feel something
I pour another one, just to feel nothing
In this life I’ve wasted

[[As it burns]]
[[I see the scars Ive earned]
[[I think of all I’ve hurt]]
[[I know it can’t return]]

Iknock it back
[[Don’t take no chaser]]
All fades to black
[[Short lived eraser]]
In dark I turn
[[Lines start to blur]]
As I embrace the burn
[[Embrace the burn]]

I am an empty shell, a shadow of me
Casting myself further, into false reality
So shattered beyond repair

[[As it burns]]
[[I see the scars Ive earned]
[[I think of all I’ve hurt]]
[[I know it can’t return]]

Iknock it back
[[Don’t take no chaser]]
All fades to black
[[Short lived eraser]]
In dark I turn
[[Lines start to blur]]
As I embrace the burn
[[Embrace the burn]]

[[As it burns]]
[[I see the scars Ive earned]
[[I think of all I’ve hurt]]
[[I know it can’t return]]

Iknock it back
[[Don’t take no chaser]]
All fades to black
[[Short lived eraser]]
In dark I turn
[[Lines start to blur]]
As I embrace the burn
[[Embrace the burn]]
