about

This is a take on the story of Dorian Gray, from the perspective of the "demon"

lyrics

You seem
Confused by how you feel
Do you seek some kind of relief
Keep me safe behind the glass, locked away

So look at me
Just a look can set you free
What you've done will never be seen
Whilst I'm kept behind the glass, locked away

Do you know
What to feel as you go
Is your conscience telling you no
As I am locked behind the glass, kept away

From prying eyes
You can't let them realise
I will blind them all from the lies
Just keep me locked behind the glass, locked away

I'm your pain
That keeps you sane
I am your guilt
Your sweet regret
I am to blame
But keep me safe
For all you felt
Behind the glass
I'm your pain
That keeps you sane
I am your guilt
Your sweet regret
I am to blame
But keep me safe
For all you felt
Behind the glass, locked away

Don't let it go
Keep me safe don't let them know
And this place don't ever let on
Keep me locked behind the glass, keep me safe

For I'm your pain
I keep you sane
I am your guilt
Your sweet regret
I am to blame
But keep me safe
For all you felt
Behind the glass
I'm your pain
That keeps you sane
I am your guilt
Your sweet regret
I am to blame
But keep me safe
For all you felt
Behind the glass, locked away

Locked away
Behind the glass

I am your pain I keep you sane
I am the guilt you hide away
I take the blame so keep me safe
From all you felt, behind the glass

I am your pain I keep you sane
I am the guilt you hide away
I take the blame so keep me safe
From all you felt, behind the glass
Locked away
Locked away

about

Burning Paper Trondheim, Norway

Writer and recording artist of instrumental rock based music.

Although often progressive in nature, I like to keep the tracks raw and not too polished. Each has a story in mind, which is told as the track progresses. Given the inspiration is usually some injustice (which is not hard to find!) or memory of regret, they tracks can meander between softer and more aggressive expression. ... more
