A Pale Portrait of A Ghost

from A Pale Portrait of A Ghost by Hitwood

/

about

In this chapter, the old man Hitwood fights with his internal demons . The artwork represents the two sides of his personality separated by a river. This song is about the everyday routine of our lives, the feeling about our shoulders that was always "overcharged" by a divine entity and the sensation of feeling trapped in a invisible cage much bigger than us

lyrics

oh, For so long I feel betrayed
I have no purpose to fight these days

This hate flow in my veins
I don’t want to see any face

A routine that makes me mad
An oblivion without end

Judgement day, for the fallen ones
The ones who fight this cancer
Trapped here, in the infinity
Could you help me to find the exit?

Could you help me to find the exit?

Then sometimes I caught me to envy
My past life and hope for changes
I know tomorrow will be served
to me in the same exact events

But i’m only a pale portrait of a ghost
That i can’t expose to their eyes
God why you throw me all of
this weight upon me?

The evil that’s in me
becomes stronger if
feed by hate

Detestation surrounds me
Ask yourself why i’m here

I’m Above you all
I’m the wolf you’ve constantly feeded

Judgement day, I’m the fallen one
the one who fight this cancer
Trapped here, in my same feel
Could I help you to find the entrance?

Could I help you to find the entrance?

Then sometimes I caught you to envy
Your past life and hope for changes
I know tomorrow will be served
to you in my same exact events

So i’m only a pale portrait of a ghost
That i can’t expose to their eyes
God why you throw me all of
this weight upon me?

Bring me back, my innate confidence
Then Show me ways to re-find my inner self
Guide me to the secret places
Mentioned by books and tales
I thought I could heal
I thought I could find the cure to erase this feel

So i’m only a pale portrait of a ghost
That i can’t expose to their eyes
God why you throw me all of
this weight upon me?

I’m only a pale portrait of a ghost
That i can’t expose to their eyes
God why you throw me all of
this weight upon me?

I’m only a pale portrait of a ghost!
God why you constantly throw this weight upon me?
