These are the lyrics to the third song that I wrote for my HonestKyle release entitled, Realizing the Betrayer.
For those who don't know, I've been a lead vocalist in just about every music act that I've been apart of. Probably not because I'm the best because I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Ironically though, I simply hate writing lyrics.
I'm being dead serious. It's so freaking hard! That's what she said. Occasionally, I'll get a topic and just completely nail it with some good imagery, and then other times...
...not so much.
But here's a song that I really tried to capture the essence of that defining moment when you realize that someone you care about stabbed you in the back. What you might have thought as visions of their past kindness flip through your mind.
I would really appreciate constructive criticism since it'll help me to hone myself into a powerful lyric-writing missile.
Without further ado... the lyrics to Realizing the Betrayer...
I weighed this up
And the blame is all on
The blame is all on you.
My god,
I can't believe you fooled everyone.
You made me love
Your mannerisms and witticisms
From your tongue.
Now you're the reason I'm left to rot.
You had loaded guns,
Raining bullets from hidden turrets.
I kissed the floor.
Your lies were blunt.
With false affection, you passed detection
And had room to run.
But you flew too close to the sun.
And now I'm taking off the gloves
Cause I think I know exactly what you need.
You think the trap you laid was tough.
You gained an ally, then you cut out both my feet.
And to think,
I once carried you home through the wind and the rain.
I gave you my strength when the rest turned away.
With baited hooks,
You lured me closer.
A master fisher with nets so strong.
You know I couldn't hold my breath that long.
So you stand and watch
Every motion and formed a notion to play along.
Don't give a damn about what you've done.
You know I couldn't hold my breath that long.
I weighed this up
And the blame is all on
The blame is all on you.
My god,
I can't believe you fooled everyone.
You made me love
Your mannerisms and witticisms
From your tongue.
Now you're the reason I'm left to rot.
You had loaded guns,
Raining bullets from hidden turrets.
I kissed the floor.
Your lies were blunt.
With false affection, you passed detection
And had room to run.
But you flew too close to the sun.
And now I'm taking off the gloves
Cause I think I know exactly what you need.
You think the trap you laid was tough.
You gained an ally, then you cut out both my feet.
And to think,
I once carried you home through the wind and the rain.
I gave you my strength when the rest turned away.
With baited hooks,
You lured me closer.
A master fisher with nets so strong.
You know I couldn't hold my breath that long.
So you stand and watch
Every motion and formed a notion to play along.
Don't give a damn about what you've done.
You know I couldn't hold my breath that long.
And now I'm taking off the gloves
Cause I think I know exactly what you need.
You think the trap you laid was tough.
You gained an ally, then you cut out both my feet.
I once carried you home through the wind and the rain.
I gave you my strength when the rest turned away.
