Lyrics
The Exorcism
You were here at seven
Banging my head against the wall
To the rhythm of some old hymn
That I still recall
When I was eleven
you told me I’m like the silver moon
As I ran on empty not a day to soon
Your tone changed after
To hunger strikes and hurricanes
Scarlet summers, growing pains
I’d follow you all the same
Oh I kissed you sickly
Smoking out sadness in your room
T’ was the first time ever I thought
Of expelling you
Now I’m gonna stay up I’m gonna stay afloat
With or without you
Stay away, be gone
You wandered briefly
Left me crying tears of joy
And for a minute
I knew peace
It was beautiful
and so boring
I know I’ll exorcize you
Twice each decade from now on
And though I might sedate you
You will never be gone
Oh, you’ll never be gone
You’ll never be, never be
I’m gonna stay up I’m gonna stay afloat
With or without you, with or without you now
Stay Away Be Gone

    If we're just being logical: SHE writes the songs, now, so she knows where her limits are and how to tune the entire thing to her voice. I'm a singer as well and the songs I write are much, much more attuned to my capabilities than those my bandmate, a multi-instrumentalist but absolutely not a singer, writes.

    Just as the growls/screams are layered delicately within the other vocal lines, there is a very subtle use of a whammy-like guitar line. All to often, I/we/us-metal-types will use a harsher element as a jump-scare type of effect. Charlotte and her musicians are crafting a finely woven overall effect, from soaring vocal pads to chunky riffs to sounds that come from the animal voice in us all. Nicely done.
