Wrought HD

I spent many weekends in 2007 filming the Seattle rock band "Peratus" to make this music video. I had my pick of songs from their new album "Equilibrium", and "Wrought" was my choice. This was the very first song I heard them play when I showed up to that first rehearsal in their basement and I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be the only one there to hear it, camera rolling.

This video features footage from:

El Corazón, Seattle WA
Paradise Sound, Index WA (recording session for the album)
Station 56, Tacoma WA
The Showbox, Seattle WA
The Whisky, Hollywood CA
Waldo's, Kirkland WA

I had previously uploaded this video to stage6.com, but they shut that service down. Peratus has also previously uploaded this video on their MySpace page as well as here on YouTube, but now that YouTube supports Hi-Def, I've decided to upload this HD (720p) version.

Here are the lyrics:
I'm left alone with all the monsters in my head
They say to me you won't choose life over death
Insane attraction causes stillness in my mind
Only a fraction of the things I've left to find

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

I can't control my so impulsive frame of mind
I feel the reigns, the bridle, jerk my head in line
I wanna scream I wanna kill I wanna shout
I choke it back and take a punch right in the mouth

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

I take a breath from that toxic mask of mine
And fight the urge to disappear into the night
And by my side I see a monster on my wing
He drives me on he keeps me safe he makes me see

That without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding
