Bizarre isn't it?
Purity
This track also has an intro, it is "Frail Limb Nursary" and is highly misunderstood. It is a compilation of samples taken from the Crime Scene site that first inspired Corey to change the demo "Despise" into "Purity" It's basically a clip of Purity telling a story to the young boy who took care of her while she was buried. He would bring her food in exchange for her telling him extravagant stories.
The song Purity was written when Corey came across a website located at http://www.crimescene.com/purity/index.html It told the story of Adrianne Purity Knight, a 20 year old college student who was stalked by an obsessed ex-lover. Eventually, this man ended up burying young Purity in a homemade wooden box alive. She died. Shawn: It's like this- whether it's real or not, it affected Corey very much, the thought of it- so it was able to influence him- the song is not directly one hundred percent about it.
Corey: "I still think its real -see the thing whether it's true or not, it's a real story- that we read about -that ****ed our whole world up -can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and having all this lecherous bull**** drip down on her from this guy? and thinking that there is hope, because this kid is taking some bizarre note to this guy he doesn't even know- thinking that you are holding on to the shirt of hope -and you wake up and you're dead you're buried in mud -they find the note about a week later shoved in a library book for gods sakes -it just hurts your head- it's a case of what is good and bad in people- the box alone is reason enough to be like, 'I cant stand to be ****ing human'- how can someone ****ing do this to somebody? What is inside of us that is so ****ing wrong? he had written quotes from Edgar Allen Poe and lots of ****ed up things on the box."
