A Portrait of the Artist Lyrics
I watched as the black sky parted back
Through fields of tar and thread
A tourniquet of lace and dialeet
Our ceremony
I fall as the comfort rushes in
No terrifying dreams
I'll shed my skin for you
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
A picture of my genocide
Paralyze the light fell from your eyes
My hope is faded grey
Our wickedness we share
This ceremony
I watched as the antique sky turned black
Through fields of heroin
I'll shed my skin for you
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
A portrait of my genocide
A portrait of the artist
A portrait of a young man
To sing this song in silence is grand
My addiction
Dead inside
Broken
Genocide
Through fields of tar and thread
A tourniquet of lace and dialeet
Our ceremony
I fall as the comfort rushes in
No terrifying dreams
I'll shed my skin for you
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
A picture of my genocide
My hope is faded grey
Our wickedness we share
This ceremony
I watched as the antique sky turned black
Through fields of heroin
I'll shed my skin for you
Have I broken my addiction dead inside?
A portrait of my genocide
A portrait of a young man
To sing this song in silence is grand
Dead inside
Broken
Genocide

This song sounds like WiL's side project, William Control, minus the guitar.
i like this song, but i wish it had better music.
I'm pretty sure, I think it's obvious, that this song is about heroin. Either the use of it, the addiction of it, or just the drug itself.
"I fall as the comfort rushes in" - The injection of heroin
"Paralyze the light fell from your eyes My hope is faded grey Our wickedness we share" - WiL is saying he had a friend who possibly OD'd on heroin and they shared the needle (our wickedness we share)
