about

“Suffer” was written to be an improvement upon our single “Conjuncture,” which itself was an improvement on “Hypocrite.” While “Conjuncture” is, and most likely will be, one of my favorite PC songs, I wanted to take what I learned from writing it and apply it methodically. This song was an experiment for me. At the time of writing, I was at music school taking a music theory class focusing in atonal music. I took some writing techniques I gleaned from my professor, Dr. Jody Nagel, and applied them to “Suffer”. At the 1:00 mark, each pitched instrument is playing something different. The left guitar has a 3 notes, right guitar has 3 notes and the bass has 3 notes. This totaling to 9 out of the 12 notes in the chromatic scale being played more or less at once, causing an extremely chaotic sound.

lyrics

Waking up
Next to suicide notes
Collapsed on tile
Someone pull me up

Fluorescent lights
And uncomfortable silence
This is not how I envisioned
My perfect asylum

Let the water over my face
Muster composure so that I can escape
The things that I have seen cannot be reversed
This is my burden; this is my curse

I'm too far gone
Just keep it together
Dear God spare me
Please don't let me wither

These days stretch on
Cut deeper and deeper
Reopened wounds
I keep getting weaker

Weak bones

Weak bones, weak will
Condemned to suffering
Blinded by scathing loss
Don't test me, you know nothing

You know nothing
You know nothing
This pain is mine
Deep in my spine

You know nothing
You know nothing
I tried, I tried
Hell is inside

You know nothing of hell
(Nothing of hell)
You know nothing of hell

You know nothing of hell
(nothing of hell)
You know nothing of hell
