A monument
Of failure A testament To an unfailing will Against the sky stands our cathedral A picture of our isolation In the dark we must build an answer At any cost Measured symmetry Belies desperation An attempt to write in stone The dreams of the young Against the sky stands our cathedral A picture of our isolation In the dark we must build an answer A pillar to our fleeting solace Against the sky stands our cathedral Clutching at the passing time It was built to be an answer Take from it what you can 02. A Portrait In White
I see where the lines are leading
I know all I am losing Slow Time is taking A life not worth living I see where the lines are leading Empty is this life A portrait, painted all in white A conclusion which was written In words that failed to define Vanished from my sight A hope, collapsing fraught with bright A well of absence A will withdrawn 03. A Subtle Violence
Vacant gazes of the rank and file
Minds in atrophy Surging numbers of indifference Do you exist Or appear to be All of you Brimming with this stale life The dream is over The dream is dead this time Your dream is dead this time Sunken faces, shallow listless lives Currents of lethargy Detached masses, in their sleep Recall the anguish That once sustained 04. And A Slow Surrender
[Instrumental]
05. At A Loss
Awaken
A broken voice Breaths of anguish drown the words Welling at my throat The sky ablaze with stars unchanging The callous stare of a world unyielding A whisper A passing sound All trace of you removed from here But these longing words 06. Woke Up Lost
Where two walls meet
And two eyes rest I am moving With no meaning Sounds of routine A way to dissolve Let me be lost this day 07. Descending
Muted familiar fragrances
Distant fleeting recollections This beauty I had come to know Shatters Then recedes In brittle air Aimless vagrant waters Draw me out with the tide Gasping, slowing descending Screaming toward the shore Painful persistent images Disrupts my sleep Intrudes in dreams Faint droning echoes within the walls Veiled reminders Of regret time will hold 08. Last Alone
A subtle light
Frays and scatters Shadows calling down Alluding to the days I forgot why I left I thought I'd be the one to last alone The vespers chime Distant hours Softly questioning Each step that I have taken 09. The Morning Light
Blurred and pale
I saw your face As my body rests Everything has languished But the sense Of a memory fading The morning light So thin I can feel it breaking It crosses the wall Towards my body The wall above I saw it changing In the morning light Emptiness expanding Wounds kept fresh Through careful tending |
