lyrics

White Knight Syndrome

For so many years, I took the role of a saviour
Just to deserve to be alive,
To earn a place among you
And be paid with love crumbs in return.

I have the white knight syndrome,
The white knight syndrome.

In needed to be rescued, in needed to be saved,
Not silent witnesses behind my glass cell.
So I became the saviour, at least I played his game,
The one nobody was for me, alone in my cage.

Being helpful to feel worthy,
I’d be crucified for affection.
I’d do anything, ‘cause I lacked of everything.
And I’m urging, urging for it.
I was so fucking sure I couldn’t be rightful if not useful.

I have the white knight syndrome,
The white knight syndrome.

So I played the white knight
The one we’re all looking for,
Dying for help, craving for attention,
To ease our pain away.
I learned to be useful, as a thing or a tool,
But as a person no, ‘cause that wasn’t the rule.
So I played the saviour ‘cause I couldn’t save you,
I played the saviour, ‘cause nobody cared for me.
I was all alone, for so long.
All alone.

I have the white knight syndrome,
The white knight syndrome.

In needed to be rescued, in needed to be saved,
Not silent witnesses behind my glass cell.
So I became the saviour, at least I played his game,
The one nobody was for me, alone in my cage.

How can I be loved if not usable ?
Snuggle into my arms, I am the white knight.

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
