Strange, familiar the face
Displayed, still retains its grace And while you disappear Never my heart so near Released from severed pride constraints Detaching brittle smiles from pain Obscured once Whirling from my memories instead From the ashes, settle in my head Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide Pulling all inside of me outside Slow, passing the lines Forgetting the ones gone by Her hands faking control Tearing my heart, my soul Released from severed pride constraints Detaching brittle smiles from pain A few words to speak, none to express Some empty words I leave you with I hope they'll bring some comfort nonetheless None for me I must admit They abandon the scene Fleeing still further from me And while crowds disappear Never my heart so near 02. Sweet Sorrow
None to refrain, by blood all the same
To receive gain as grief's sweetest pain None to withhold the price to unfold What amount for your soul to be sold? Strangers meet to join the flow A list of names I hardly know Their listed values show Their sweet sorrow to stain Forming lines to drain Keeping smiles restrained Further the line No one to decline Claims increase with the passing of time 03. Loss
Sinking in
Slowly I begin losing sight of you Can't recall your face I knew so well Stay with me, don't abandon me Dream with me, say you always will Talk to me, watch over me Smile at me like you always did Strong the bond Reaching far beyond to where you reside Looking forward to seeing you at night 04. Beneath The Surface
With childlike certainty
Detached from gravity Distorting sanity In the known reality Distracting faith beside of me Showing only what I want to see This pain living in my memory Beneath the surface of reality Mere words don't mean anything to me Speak of someone strange, unknown to me The truth that lies withstand The meaning words can bend Ignore these facts I can't I do not understand Distracting faith beside of me Showing only what I want to see Faith runs thin, a grain of sand A river without source I am Like a stream, it all slips through my hands Distracting faith beside of me Showing only what I want to see 05. Empty
In flesh you've torn my wounds so deep
Your expectations, a slope too steep My conscious mind convincing me Unworthy, not wasting a breath on me Searching for meaning In this wasted and desolate place Walking the path that you chose Descending pain you dispose Release the will to decide my fate Just empty inside The more you fade, contradictory The stronger the grip that you have on me I cannot deny my dependency You're bleeding me dry just to take from me Searching for meaning In this wasted and desolate place 06. Until Death Do Us Part
A promise became a chain
Just unable to flee I developed a taste for your name And the doors it will open for me Falling from grace Without this bonding and name to display Demanding, the race The sacrifices we must make As these binding words, though just a phrase Have the power to seal or to break Your sweet promised gold close to my heart The lengths we will go until death do us part The fear that became the sin To explain the reason again No wondering why Each distance for me is too near Lose a piece with every new change I try To open my heart is to fear And standing by See my life just die before my eyes And leave behind a little piece of my heart Until death do us part 07. Extinct
As tears flow down, my soul untouched
My mind in a cloud, unmoved by such When two different sides and views collide And two separate dreams do us divide So withered the bond to break All too much for me to take You seem to miss the words I say You turn to me, I turn away The more you bled, the more I sinned A promise gone, a dream extinct All that we argue and disagree No chance for you, no reason for me No place to breathe, the air has thinned The feeling numb, to go extinct Too stale the water, distant Too faint the colours I see Trying all I can, recall a time some way Not blinded by greed, but despite No images come to mind It weighs me down to sink Myself to go extinct All that we argued and disagreed No reason for you, no chance for me When two different sides and views collide And two separate dreams do us divide 08. Room 9
Distant voices in time I hear
Broken silence to disappear Surrounding walls Play shadows of the fears I had And I regret not following Emerging shapes Out of the noise my pain to feed As lights recede room 9 remains Hallway noises there to ignore My saviours piled up in stacks of four Staring into the numbing lake Static noises do me awake 09. No Salvation
I feel the strings
They are cutting through my fingers They feel like words That are slipping through my teeth Is it my blood I am sweating through my bare skin That keeps on falling, sliding down beneath? No silence No peace inside No time left to redeem myself Now that we chose No salvation for those who we are Make us see how to break free Words that we bleed On the ones we'll be needing the most Do condemn. Do you understand? Your misery, my heavy stone My flesh and blood to me unknown Your faith, a light from which I flee It takes me down, shines right through me Erased, the dream and unsure the destination Is this unreal, is it more than I deserve? I cannot cope with this silent desolation And break the bond you are trying to preserve No silence No peace inside No time left to redeem myself 10. Untruth
Just a brittle smile you put on my face
Can't reach out to me in confining space Far too cold, you can't make me understand Reaching out of the dark Pulling the ground from under me Spilling all to shed your killing guilt It weighs me down to drown me Makes me wonder why, as you state the facts And provide me with what your statement lacks As the evidence speaks the truth to me Reaching out of the dark Pulling the ground from under me Is this how you make yourself feel free? Because it does not work for me Is this how you rid yourself from the pain? By leaving me alone again You're leaving me to hide, leaving me to die Just a brittle smile to put on my face No extended reach, no confining space No one there to make me understand 11. Lies Inc.
Your sweet voice stabs my back
Though soft the words, the feeling lacks Knew all along? Then why the wait? We lived a lie. The truth too late So there it is See me hurt I never thought that you would Be the one misunderstood So bring me down for my own good I thought of all Only you understood Gone the hopes, your secrecy And with it the last of me They're lining up to lick my blood So damn sincere, your words do cut 12. Room 6
I walk down the road
Somewhere in between Love and hope I've lost No one here but me Questioning and losing grip But letting go is harder than to keep holding on Severed lies my body And the will to keep on going lies beneath The more I want to change The more I stay the same But cannot seem to find The door through which I came My head, a room, a void, a never-ending forest My guilt, a key Keeps locking me in, keeping me in 13. Epilogue
Lying here, buried for too many years
To feel anything, if not regrets My hands too cold My view distorted The light too dim Now that we chose No salvation for those who we are Make us see how to break free Words that we bleed On the ones we'll be needing the most Do condemn. Do you understand? |
