you are my muse

don't you refuse

I know what you hide ;

abominations from the deep

you have a power over me

I'm in a trance as you manifest the unearthly

[cutetanuki-chan]

they're everything to me

"Ugh, there's no original ideas anymore, everything's already been done..." WRONG. What about those ladies from Austria singing about being possessed by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe

You seek approval,

my subconscious implemented in my dreams. you build up illusions of yourself

and like a bridge thread of a spider web you give them to others

silky, sticky yet somehow,

you’re smooth enough to lure them to wrap you in all that you desire,

even if it’s their own pleasure.

you’re not stuck you’re waiting, for an ending or a beginning

an unsolicited death, an indefinite life

you fear your own madness but the edge of it is what you live for.

you wait, and wait and wait for love to visit the fragile home you made for yourself in this temporary world

but it’s not what you want, is it ?

because the moment it knocks on your door you rush to the arms of another,

paranoia or melancholy? It doesn’t matter.

you writhe and hiss until you shed a skin of a past life that you held on

For acceptance alone, if nothing else…

what is it that you truly desire?

so when i was in my early teens--i think this would've been when i was 13-15, somewhere between 2006 and 2007, give or take--i heard a song at the local hot topic that has been haunting me from time to time ever since. to be clear this is a bad thing, not because i can't find the song but because it was not a good song. but also, now i can't find the song, and i want to because i want to prove this is a real fucking thing i heard in my youth, somewhere in the mid-to-late aughts, at the capitola mall hot topic in capitola, california.

it was a lyrical adaptation (not directly one-to-one but clearly an adaptation) of edgar allan poe's classic poem the raven, and i THINK it also incorporated segments of annabel lee. but like. it was rapped. badly. over like, a gothy rock/metal backing track. i'm not sure but i think one of the lyrics was "lenore, lenore, my sweet sweet g/taken by the angels from me." i do not remember for certain if the rapper (male fwiw) actually called lenore a g but i would not put it past whoever was responsible for this.

googling just turns up a bunch of people directly rapping the raven more or less as it's written, which is NOT what i'm looking for.

tl;dr need help finding and identifying a terrible goth rap adaptation of poe's the raven (and maybe parts of annabel lee). heard at earliest in 2005 and at latest probably in 2009, but i think it was closer to 2006-2008, at the hot topic in capitola, ca, usa. can attempt to replicate what i remember of it if i really need to but i'm not prepared to shed my dignity that badly yet

EDIT: multiple people have suggested certain songs by mc lars but i'm fairly sure it's not him, and it's definitely not any of the tracks i've been linked. the rapper was almost certainly white, but was definitely trying to affect an """urban""" accent, and the backing music was, for lack of a better word, edgier-sounding. also, there was a refrain of "quoth the raven, nevermore," which doesn't seem to be present in any of the songs i've been linked. it's definitely weirdly similar in concept, but the execution is different.
