Only For The Weak

Cubist landscape, no reference used. 16 by 20 inches, sides are painted. Painted with acrylic on canvas in 2023 by Brandon Allebach. Framed in a black floater frame (not shown).

Inspired by the In Flames song “Only For The Weak”:

I can't tolerate your sadness

'Cause it's me you are drowning (drowning)

I won't allow (allow) any happiness

'Cause every time you laugh

I feel so guilty (guilty)

I feel so guilty

Am I forced to have any regret

I've become the lie, beautiful and free

In my righteous own mind

I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me

Sell me the infection

It is only for the weak

No need for sympathy

The misery that is me

I've lost the ability to paint the clouds

'Cause it's me you're draining (you're draining me)

I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day

'Cause every time you run

I fall behind (behind)

I fall behind

And so I hear my voice again

The tale of the bitter man, here I am

Shake the silence and hear what it says

The tranquil pride that become the lie

Sell me the infection

It is only for the weak

No need for sympathy

The misery that is me

Sell me the infection

It is only for the weak

On bleeding knees

Now I accept my fate
