Scarification [Hurt Me More] Branded by you Built a ritual into my mood Craving as if it were new Familiar it sooths I feasted on the after rush Endorphins anneal my old grudge A holy lotus in the mud Implanted in my blood Break the skin, rub it in Can you hurt me more? Cut in deep, make it bleed Will you hurt me more? Infinity empowers me Surgically holding the key Depression advances with great speed Devouring all that I need No diversion My flesh is virgin Something’s merging in me

If I 04:13
If I If I could only let go If I could muster the will to be walking If I could just look away Look away from your face from your longing So many nights I don’t know what more you want from me, I just gave you everything I know the smartest thing I could do Would be to take one more day And try again to get through to you If I could turn you away, if I... If I could just go to sleep Without the weight of our world set upon me If you would kiss me goodnight I would know I’m not alone in my corner In the ring at the fight I have no more voice I can’t scream or even work up a Barb to bring you to life It seems the only thing I could do Would be to take one more day, Try again to get through to you

Bombshelter 03:44
Bombshelter Push aside all the signs Of my mental fatigue Best to hide smile wide Deflect the intrigue Great facade raises the bar All my practiced perfection Be a star get the car Ignore rejection Yeah I build myself a bomb shelter So I can be myself when I am all alone Yeah I live inside my bomb shelter Where I protect myself behind the wall of stone What you need take a piece I’ve got slices to spare Come and feed take your leave Without a care What is left I’m bereft Of the will to take note I am blessed with the sense To see the big joke Should I stay locked away Would my absence be felt? Loyalty post bereave Or would you be in hell What effect who’d be next For you to latch yourself to Am I wrong when I’m gone? Will you find someone new?
5.
Drown 03:42
Drown I gave in today Surrendered with no shame Let a moment carry me away My legs broke under the weight I drown, drown, I drown in you You’re breathing for me While holding me weakly Your tremors should have forced me to see Was I not so naive? Now how can I live? Once ripped from where I’ve been You’ve only shown the smallest glimpse Enough to get trapped in. in you
6.
You Will Know Imagine myself alone For the first time in years I’m walking away from a home That was a fortress from all my fears Someday you may hold a grudge When you’re old enough to reject my love Thoughts of you like a flood Like a deluge of blood, I would stay if I could You’re the first face I see You’re the last breath I need You’re the whole world to me Maybe someday you will know Some nights after I’m asleep I am holding you Like a lifeline to me The endless falling sees Momentum slowing And shadows are going It may take a lifetime But just keep me in mind, Don’t pretend you are blind I’ll keep extending my hand For as long as I can Mine is love without end You will know When you look down on your hands When you find yourself a man Can you hear my voice as it echoes? Through you, you’ll understand
7.
Insulting 04:39
Insulting Stalked by remnants of our life when it was good Hold me here in spite of where my feet have stood Something in me just won't give you up Maybe I just don't know when I’ve had enough Piled on top of years that blur into one Arguing the same things 'til the point is all gone? Insulting me, insulting you It’s killing me. It’s tearing us in two Pressed into a page a portrait of our love Perfecting our game face, we cloak ourselves in mud Stressed into a fit of pointless, stagnant jibes I just give you shit to feel like I’m alive Stalked by remnants of our life when it was good Hold me here in spite of where my feet have stood Choke down chunks of indiscretions in my mind Played out like a point of egress that I designed
8.
Blow Away 03:54
Blow Away I can't forgive myself no matter How I try I cannot seem to lift my head up I shut down, when I look your eye And who am I, no resemblance Don’t recognize this face as mine You stick in my vein Yeah I once had strength but now I wait to... Blow away, blow away I try to go about my life like I did before a part of me died I force my will to carry me home where my shadow lives with me alone my head is numb and it's no comfort I bite my tongue, caress my gun and who's to blame I can't live with shame and I can't wait to... what do I have to wait for? why should I subject myself to more? I’m tired of living the same day so I turn to dust and blow away
9.
The Lies We Tell Construct a face build a will to find different places and a different time so far there’s no one who has found you out keep it down resist all the urges to shout We are made of the lies we tell, we are fine change locations take a new facade imitations you have made one more work of art play it down to the final hand don’t make a sound and maybe you’ll have a chance
10.
We Come Away Alone We hover Pale in the night Cold as a stone So final We're bathed in silence Bear naked, exposed We come away alone Stale and wasted Penitent like a mortal slave Breath stolen, we're shown We've barely tasted Sold our faith into a rage Slashed our wounds to the bone

Breakdown 04:01
Breakdown You said you would show me When we see eye to eye You would share your dark side Deep shadowed hearts on hooks Was your indication You pierced the veil of my indignation And revealed your pain I break down in your arms and cry I would show you the part of me deep As the wounded heart that you allowed me to see You say I’m no reminder I’m no contributing factor But I feel the shame Don’t think now you shouldn’t Tell me things to protect me It’s not the weight of it all that would break me Just the lack of your flame I break down in your arms and cry I would show you the part of me deep As the wounded heart that you allowed me to see Had I known the truth Maybe I would have heard you Now it’s changed me from all that I knew

about

Featuring the song "I Am Severed" as heard on Hulu's "Pam & Tommy".

Originally released in 2003, the album "Severed" was Munk Duane's third solo release. The sound of "Severed" was very different than Munk's modern day Alternative R&B funky sound. The cuts feature a deep, heavy Rock vibe, akin to Soundgarden, Linkin Park and Rage Against The Machine.

The album has been out of print for many years. This special edition release is to celebrate the renewed interest in "Severed" since it was featured in episode 1 of "Pam & Tommy" on Hulu in February 2022.
