My token "Angst-girl" song, with some extra kick provided by Luke on electric. This song was recorded in my living room with a couple of guitars, a bass and vocals.

Story behind the song
I'm putting an idiot in my place. Letting him feel what it was like to be on the receiving end of shallow disdain.
Lyrics
Follow me down to the water
wash your attitude away.
Now, you're in sync with my wailing
and now you know, cause you feel the same
Gaze upon your window
it was clouded, but now it's clear.
How does it feel to be empty
are you inebriated with fear
These are my unpleasantries
and they are grimey, dank and grey
so go ahead and taste the sour and the bitterness
you achieved in your own way
so tell me, how does it feel now
are you satisfied
so do you understand how it feels from this side.
Here, you slip on this sweet gown,
nevermind the mold that clings
and as you have done to me,
I'll redeem you when you sing
but your notes, so twisted
cannot carry me that far
if you were a human
I'd accept you as you are
but you lost your chance now
you turned and looked away
and I'll accept your ignorance no more
I think it's time you learned to pay
so tell me what do you think now
are you satisfied
ask all you want for sweet, sweet grace
cause you will be denied
so tell me what do you think now
ohh, tell me how do you feel
I'm not above revenge my love and believe me this is real
introducing miss vengeance
I'mm taking my turn
tried to help you up out of the flames
but instead
you choose to burn.
