Peering Eye

When I was working on this earlier this week I was trying to do video game music again or something, but then it took a turn and then I was trying to make a trip hop song. Now it just makes me think of The Birthday Massacre, which is definitely not trip hop, and I wouldn't be surprised if I ripped them off somewhere along the line on the vocal melodies.
Speaking of, I wanted to focus on trying to drive the song more with vocals than anything else. I spent a while writing lyrics this time, which are basically esoteric and vague. I think some of the hooks here are solid but my voice is just really lacking being up to the task for it. I've thought about taking time next year to properly train my voice, maybe going to a teacher or something. Its not just struggling to hit certain notes, it feels like I'm pinching my voice too much or something and sounding strained on notes I should be able to hit comfortably. Anyways, I tried to mask it by doing layered octave vocals to make it sound cooler and edgy. Here be those lyrics.
Faced with time
Drawing lines
In the dark of night
Sigils bind
Breathing dust
Grasping the pen
I write of the thing that hides
Just out of sight
Buried under lime
I can't take this anymore
Strained clouded eye
Don't rescind this invitation
Plagued, I can't resist
The sound echoes down the drain
Another's fate begets the same
All I contend is intent among the sane
We've drawn a sign
Sewn eyes inside our mind obtained
Illuminating change
Maintain a disguise
A lie which I can't sustain
I realize the end of time
Will not affect my reality
Eyes are a sea of memory
And we dwell beneath a shaded tree
Btw, these last 4 months have been hell and I pretty much mentally signed off some participating in this community and I feel bad about it. I appreciate those of you who have continued to check out my music every week and are kind enough to leave me a comment. I'll make it up eventually, I'd like to tune into each of your individual submitted playlists and just listen to everything you did this year and leave comments as I go
