Tomb (Vocal Remix)

from Vocalized Suffering [WIP] by Nightmare Lyre

/

about

This song started out as a Techno beat instrumental in 2016, before being remixed into a Metal song for my 2020 Blackgaze inspired album/EP. This vocal version of the Metal version was made using digital singers, and its lyrics are about my deteriorating mental health due to PTSD caused by an attempt on my life when I was a child.

lyrics

! Warning !
! Depressing lyrics dealing with themes of trauma and self-harm !

[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die

[Verse 1]
Deep mental scars
My mind will never heal
I try to live
But life was taken from me
Even in my youth
I felt so old and frail
Through so much abuse
My flesh feels like a cage

[Chorus]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die

[Verse 2]
It never stops
Memories keeps me awake
Silence is pain
I need to drown out the voices
On my worst days
I hit myself so hard
In a panicked state
Triggered by intense self loathing

[Bridge]
I hate myself so much
I can't convince myself I didn't deserve it
Even when I know it's not the case
Intrusive thoughts haunts me
I don't know how I'll escape

[Ukulele Solo]
Set me free

[Outro]
In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die

In an open grave
Here I am, here I lay
Nobody sees as they bury me
That I'm still alive
They don't care anyway
Neither do I
In my tomb I'll die
