Instrumental Production, Levels, Mixing, Mastering, Lyrics, Vocals, and Lyric Video by Winter Evalla

This one's been a long time coming.

What began as a lyrical segment in a writing contest I did back in high school that got me sent to the guidance counsellor for being 'too dark', to an expansion based off of current feelings and emotions, and after producing a track you'll see earlier in the year with a death-step breakdown, this is the first fully produced song officially on the channel, completely by me - Winter Evalla -, owner of The Shining Angels. This is an intense one, and definitely more for my metal crowd. Please enjoy.

Lyrics:

[Verse One]
Cancerous Coward, oh, stuck from the shrink
Can't let a feeling escape from the brink
Too afraid to say, scared to tell
Too stupid to think
Your indulgence won't hide the lies you sell

You’re a ghost in a monument built out of spite
Trading your vision for comfort tonight
Bury the truth till it rots in the soil
Watch as the blood starts to simmer and boil

[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe in deep
Hear the lies come out!
No placidity
Just shut up and drown!!!

[Chorus]
Suffocate the shadow!
Tear down the shrine!
You’re running out of excuses, running out of time!

Dragged to the bottom
By the weight of your crown
No saving you now

Just shut up and drown

[Verse Two]
Call me a coward, but I know the cost
Counting the scars from the trust that I lost
Every confession is weaponized steel
I guard the wreckage of what I can feel

You call it indulgence, I call it a shield
A fortress built high so I never will yield
'Cause if I get loud, then you’ll all walk away
Leaving me broken with nothing to say

​[Pre-Chorus Two]
​Breathe it back in
Keep the truth locked out!
Where is the safety?
I can't let it out!!!

​[Chorus Two]
​Suffocate the shadow?
I'm tearing down inside!
Running out of places left for me to hide!

Dragged to the bottom by the walls that I built
Choking on panic, swallowed by guilt
No saving me now

I don't want to drown

​[Build]
​You built your cage and you call it a home
Now choke on the silence and die there alone
No one is coming, there’s nobody left
Trade your excuses for one final breath

​[Breakdown]
​FUCKING FREAK! JUST SIT AND DROWN!!!
​
​FUCKING FREAK!
JUST. SIT. AND. DROWN
