------------------------------------ This track was written about the now cancelled game, Silent Hills (P.T.). lyrics Norman Be Thy Name
What is this place? How did I end up here on the floor. I can’t remember anything about myself. Who am I?
My memories elude me. I can’t recall a thing. I’ve awakened in a daze, with a body full of pain.
I feel like I’m trapped inside a dream. Is this real, or am I still on the floor? I can’t tell anymore. Discomfort overwhelms me. I can feel it in the air. There’s an evil presence hidden within these walls. What horrors wait ahead for me?
Wait ahead for me.
My journey begins. When I walk through that door. A true test of strength, waits ahead I’m sure.
(Radio: We regret to report the murder of a wife and her two children by their husband and father. The father purchased the rifle used at the crime at his local gun store two days earlier. This brutal killing took place while the family was gathered at home, on a Sunday afternoon.)
Suddenly, I lose control I can feel the rage begin to manifest inside of me. A true monster he must be to take his own family. In silence, I hear them screaming. Can’t tell if it’s real or if it’s voices in my head.
I can feel their presence calling out to me beyond the darkness, coming for my soul. I’m just a puppet in their master plan. Efforts to resist have failed me. I can’t fight it any longer.
I keep walking They keep talking. The voices they haunt me. Whispering softly. All my life I’ve kept them buried deep inside Now they’ve taken control and they’re eating me alive.
Blood is pouring out from a broken fridge in the ceiling. Aborted fetus lies on the bathroom floor. Still breathing. The woman dressed in white takes me by surprise, she knows me.
Her mangled face will haunt me in my sleep until the day I die.
At this moment I begin to recollect, and like a flash flood, all of my memories come rushing back. Overcome by the crippling realization that the monster is me, and the woman is mine.
I reap the consequences brought upon me by the actions of a foreign entity that lives inside of me.
Gotta get out before this place drives me crazy
Been here before, I guess I’ll go again. Will these halls ever end? Fool me once, that’s my mistake fool me twice, that makes me insane.
After midnight, a chilling laugh rings out from behind me in the darkness.
My voice, can you hear it? This sign, can you read it? I’ll wait forever if you’ll just come to me. 204863 There’s no turning back now. What have I done? A figure appears with a pyramid head. Dragging a sword. This must be the end. He pays me no mind, and walks right on by. Sparing my life. I follow behind.
Evil has claimed this vessel. The man I once was is no more.
(Radio: Dad was such a drag. Then one day he goes and kills us all. But I’m not complaining, I was dying of boredom anyway)
A fresh scent welcomes me at the threshold. Greeted by a blinding light. My core has been resculpted, by the horrors I’ve seen tonight. Though I’ve emerged from hell unscathed, I’ll never be the same. A new man stands before thee. And Norman be thy name. My world was stripped from me. Taken by my own hands. If it would bring them back, I’d walk through hell again.
