Eight Hours of Heavy Drinking

by Christopher Sawyer

supported by
Raemar

Raemar Through gaping wound, we are given access into the nuclear discourse of awareness, acceptance, and ensuing emotions - accompanied by a most honest instrument, the piano. His voice is exceptional; so moving, I don't even miss his intense screams as in ROSK. This musically and emotionally candid experience captivated me, cover included.

Searching past fears for a reason Or for another road far from this here town Under the mountain ridge I feel it's worth the wait But here I only find myself Another mind consumed by pointless rage Another heart locked in a cage I fear it doesn't make sense anymore Anymore As I walk these empty streets And as I breathe in my fears As the clouds roll by I try to see A glimpse of life Of life
3.
I knew that I could But then I couldn't You know what they say It's hard to love yourself I know we had the Chance to forget But I know where I end And time will always tell Another window Another heartbeat Another hope it was Just not the time and place for us I know I'm no good And turn the light off I turn back into stone And now I dance alone And I'm the killer Too far to forget I never wanted to be free I would be lost among the sea And I'm the fallout Another mistake Another story told Like I never really wanted to At the break of morning As the clouds are rolling I Try to forgive myself again Or fucking change the way I am I know I'm no good And turn the light off I turn back into stone And now I dance alone

Wait I can't see that far I cannot keep up With all of you Wait It's getting way too dark And it seems so surreal To keep on walking Wait I see the fading glow Of the stars above Dying one by one Wait Don't leave me here alone The air is getting cold And I fear I won't make it This world is wrong My sin is my own I must retain control of this Cause my end is drawing near
6.
Rays of colours The fading deceit Break the borders Don't wake without sleep Meet the coward The brave and the weak The war is upon us Embrace your defeat Healing waters Come as you are (come through) Dark waters Calling me The sky will collapse The sky will collapse
7.
When night is long, all songs are sung The faintest breath comes from your lungs Then pray to gods that morning comes Then pray to gods that morning comes Safe on my own again Now I can breathe and I can speak There's no one listening No one awaiting my defeat I choke on every word Will never be what you expect Can't stand your gaze on me I only hide and deflect The lies will never end The lies will never end (Saw every light turn away) The night dress against all the filth on the floor Wrapped in the cold sin of carnival Dragged down to back down from who I could be Within the frames the blade comes against the skin You are all mirrors and mirrors are the one thing I dread Showing me plain and clear all the potential I had Showing the truth stripped down, the friends' and family's disgrace The indecision and lies drawn on a coward's face Within the fire the bodies and the souls decay Dripping blood from my eyes open again No light will ever emerge after the night of revenge Gripping the throat of death I am lost again

about

This is my piano-based electronic debut album, which I'd been writing on and off throughout 2019 and the beginning of 2020.
It's a melancholic, ruthless account of unveiling, admitting and facing the difficult truths.
Or it's about eight hours of getting wasted.
