Impostor

Deep within my troubled mind
An angst of being left behind
The impending concerns take control
A constant longing to be told
Am I worthy of this place,
Or just the epitome of disgrace?
Long acting a made-up living
I’m still haunted by fear
To be seen as someone other
Then the person I appear
A doubt that creeps and crawls
Inside my weary mind
A voice that whispers secrets
Of a purpose, I cannot find
I try to hide and mask it
But it's always lurking near
A constant sense of dread
That fills me with a fear
Has my mask become flawed?
The broken shield.
Am I no longer living up to expectations?
Was my true self unsealed?
But maybe it's just a madness
A figment of my brain
A twisted tale of horror
Driving me insane
A doubt that creeps and crawls
Inside my weary mind
A voice that whispers secrets
Of a purpose, I cannot find
I try to hide and mask it
But it's always lurking near
A constant sense of dread
That fills me with a fear
Yes, I'm a fraud, a faker in disguise
Have they discovered my insidious lies?
I try to hide, to mask my flaws
But feel of repentance, it never withdraws
A constant weight upon my soul
A doubt that never seems to grow old
But perhaps it's just a twisted tale
A figment of my mind, a despairing wail
Through self-loathing and contempt
Powerless to stop, I’m enjoying
Every stolen praise, every unearned smile
Filling a bitter chalice, I swallow in denial

Jealousy
06:17
|
|||
|
I traverse through the infertile fields of discontent
Dragging along my self-made misery
Stumbling over the roots of prospects unrealized
Looking for someone other to blame
It feels like I’m facing the storm
Opposing headwinds, struggling to move on
Imprisoned by emotions, I can't ignore
Bouts of jealousy, tearing up old sores
Imbuing the whispers of a shattered pride
I’m searching for ways to leave this quagmire
Furious at the blatant undeservedness
Realizing of not making a step forward
Facing the storm!
A race that can never be won by standing still
It feels like I’m facing the storm
Opposing headwinds, struggling to move on
Lost in a maze of emotions
Accompanied by never-healing same-old sores
By one hand I tear down and by the other I scaffold
A thorn of strangling envy, the impenetrable thorn
The winds of despair blow around
Burying the great Nothing's wasteland in sand
Accepting insignificance as the justice deserved
I abandon trying any further fight
I'm likely not able to conquer my tainted nature
Where no room for endeavor and self-respect is left
Choking on the noxious bile of bitter envy
In the desert of impotence, I will forever rot

Depravity
08:11
|
|||
|
In this world, foolish and naive
Lies and deceit, we've learned to weave
We walk a path, that's fraught with pain
Our morals lost, and our souls in vain
This road is dark without an end in sight
It's paved with stones of scorn and spite
Lost a trust, and our bearings too
The things we do, are all askew
It's a downward spiral, a dangerous slide
And we'll lose ourselves if not turn aside
Hitting the bottom, with no one to call
We need to open our eyes and see
And in the end, we won't fall
No one should be living like this
Driven by a primitive corrupt urge
We may feel remorse underneath
But it's not enough to start making things right
Gone too far to turn back now
From the path we took without a fright
No longer can escape the truth somehow
It’s time to face our tragic plight
We couldn’t rise above the fall
And choose the course that's right
Missed heeding the warning call
To find a way back to the light

Anxiousness
06:38
|
|||
|
Every day feels like a struggle
As if I'm drowning in an endless swamp of doubt
I try to find myself, but my mind is obscured
By the ever-present haze of anxiousness
And existence dread
Wounds unseen, festering beneath the surface
Bleed into the tapestry, staining it with the hues of melancholy
Impossible to see a future that's bright and full of hope
When every step forward feels like a step into the unknown
There's still strength to resist, but it's a battle I can't win
Against the constant onslaught of anxiousness
It's hard to shake the feeling that something is not right
That danger and threats lurk around every corner
Thoughts are full of chaos and uncertainty
And I'm lost in the tangle of anxiousness
And I know that hope is still out there
But it's hard to reach when your feet have turned into clay
I keep trying to move forward, but time is playing against me
And the strivings will remain unmet somewhere in the distance

Deceit
05:04
|
|||
|
In broken vows
We unearth our purpose
Addicted to the pain
We long for the sorrow that cheating brings
Absorbing trust
We use it as a crutch
To hide the harm
Done to us likewise
Making promises that we can’t keep
Without such rottenness, feeling incomplete
In endlessness devouring our own tail
The wretched slaves of the unbroken chain
Looking in the eyes and showing care
We hide a knife with no intention to spare
Telling everything would be alright
While searching for a better place to bite
No matter how
Deep the grudge
Spitting on the dignity, we always forgive
To make the cycle repeat itself
Why do people feel the need to be deceived?
It is to make themselves believe
That their scars no longer hurt
Stigmas no longer bleed
Forget, and spend their lives daydreaming

Ignorance
05:00
|
|||
|
Here we dance on the graves of shattered dreams
Blinded by the veils of falsehood
Yet remaining deaf, not embracing our disease
Tangled in the webs of ignorance
Indifferent to voice of reason we celebrate stupidity
Feeding on the carcass of the truth left for dead
Unaware of the poisoning by the seeds of intellectual atrophy
In the graveyard of clarity, we trample our innocence
A dirge for knowledge, an elegy for wisdom laid to waste
A chorus of incoherent burble
Beneath the ponderous weight of spurious dogma
We don't realize the severity of our acts
To the shame of all mankind
The voice has been given to those who deserve it least

Demise
05:26
|
|||
|
The eclipse creeps, I feel consumed
My burden is heavy, I'm trapped in this room
The walls are closing in, the air's getting thin
My mind is a prison, I can't escape within
The memories haunt me, they won't let me go
Bitter tears keep falling, my emotions overflow
The world keeps spinning, but I standing still
Regrets are crushing, I can't find my will
I'm drowning in sadness, my heart's in demise
The weight of my sorrow is too much to disguise
The end feels near, I can't bear this pain
I'm losing my will, I can't keep up with this game
The hope is fading fast
It's slipping through my grasp
I can no longer fake the smile
I've already been holding on a while
I'm not afraid to go
It's time to let my soul flow

Loneliness
08:38
|
|||
|
In a seething ocean of filth and stench
The masses swarm like bees in mounds
In blissful ignorance, they move in ranks
To the slaughter of progress and community
Their hypocritical smiles blind my eyes
A facade of joy concealing restlessness and anxiety
This collective pretense brings only disgust
And I refuse to be a part of it!
Through corridors of melancholy, I roam
A lingering specter, without a home
Elbowing a way through the stupified crowd
Hitting the rough walls of incomprehension painfully
*asking from billions of wondering stares
Beneath a veil of darkness
Cutting myself from reality
Into the depth of anguish, I descend
The world moves on without feeling the loss
Leaving me shattered like unwanted dross
The solitary existence I've longed for
Has now become a torment with no end in sight
In this realm of sorrow, I'm forever bound
A captive of loneliness
Cradled by the walls of steel and concrete housing
My cry for help has faded
Lost amidst the echoes of deafening silence
No glimmer of hope
No flicker of light
Just echoing silence
Oblivious and blind

The Void and the Unbearable Loss

This album made my best of 2020, & for a damn good reason!

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.
