Shirk Lyrics

What's going on
In my mind.
They're coming
For me
I see it in my darkness.
We found it there.
The madness
Was clear to see.
So we sailed away,
Our minds astray.
They're coming.

I believe Shirk is a genius. This music is incredible.
@willherzog7796
I have found quite a lot of good dubstep in the past few months, but yours takes the cake. I have yet to find someone else so adept at displaying emotions through technological music.
@ShurkOfficial
Will Herzog Thank you Will! What is it exactly about my music that you feel conveys emotions? Is it the chord changes, the melody or lyrics?
@willherzog7796
ShirkOfficial More often than not, it's some combination of them. Like with Things Fall Apart, the lyrics and the melody blend to make an excellent expression of sadness/loss (at least to me). I have been describing you to my friends as what would happen if Daft Punk, Muse, and Andrew Lloyd Weber somehow collaborated. Daft Punk and Muse have the sound and Mr. Weber has the expression through sound, and I believe you take the best of them and roll them into one great package.

ShurkOfficial BTW whoever does the background for your music deserves a 10 outta 10
@kumo8283
Will Herzog Pretty sure this is Glitch Hop, but I'm really bad at telling the genres apart but w/e.
@geckobrain
+ShurkOfficial The thing about your songs that says that to me is the descriptions you always have that describe the tracks absolutely perfectly.
