Can you see the shadows on the wall?
The tragedy of watching us fall I can feel it all falling down... (Coming Down) Can you see the shadows on the wall? The tragedy of watching us fall I feel it coming down Feel free to save yourself Before it all goes up in flames The fire casts its shadow In the ashes that we crawl Lies the witness to our fall Now we rest in failure's arms Let us end this wicked game Cause nothing will remain the same We were nothing but a shadowplay Tried to swim against the tide Nothing grows where I used to hide The addiction is strong within us There is no saving grace Out of time out of place The world around us starts to burn (starts to burn) 02. Last Summer Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
I don't dare to speak
Isolation complete But you don't understand Don't you know I'm innocent Swallowed by indifference But you don't seem to fucking care now, do you? Escape is all we need To a place called disappear I wound give anything to see you smile again Like I did last summer I would give anything to feel alive again But I guess it counts for nothing With confidence aside You face another tide Your fragile structures break In a single empty stare In just one breathe of air This time your innocent will fail you Escape is all we need To a place called disappear I wound give anything to see you smile again Like I did last summer I would give anything to feel alive again But I guess it counts for nothing Show me how to live again Why can't you show me how to live again 03. With Love And A Bullet Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
So empty, so cold
I'm the clay that you mold So eager to please I'm down, down on my knees No love without tears It hurts like nothing else No love without fears It hurts to believe in us I don't regret the things I've done I don't feel sorry for causing you pain I don't feel your love no more Can I break these chains? Don't you feel the aching pain From a bleeding heart once again Don't you feel the shame, I'm just a fool for loving you I'm just a fool for loving you No passion, no spark No candles burning in the dark So empty, damn you're cold Break me down and swallow my soul No heat, no flame It hurts to play this game No redemption nor hope It hurts to believe in us So here we are in this misery And once again you're killing me So take my hand and feel the sorrow Let us drown in the tears of a broken tomorrow I don't regret the things I've done I don't feel sorry for causing you pain I don't feel your love no more Can I break these chains? Don't you feel the aching pain From a bleeding heart once again Don't you feel the shame, I'm just a fool for loving you No passion, no spark I don't regret a thing No candles burning in the dark I don't regret a thing It's time for us took apart I don't regret a thing With Love and a Bullet to the heart 04. The Withering Of Mine Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson
There's no one here, no one to be
The end of life will set me free I close my eyes, but still I see The tears running inside of me Like an autumn leaf, I decline... To live but to be dead inside Sweet solitude, for you I've cried Dim the light, hold me tight The sorrow is my only light There is no happiness, inside of me Only darkness, running free I close my eyes, but still I see The tears running inside of me That all the passion is gone Like the rest of me And like an autumn leaf, I decline... To live but to be dead inside Sweet solitude, for you I've cried Dim the light, hold me tight The sorrow is my only light To live but to be dead inside Sweet solitude, for you I've cried Dim the light, hold me tight The sorrow is my only light 05. Sorrow's Kitchen Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
I look straight into your eyes
Another stranger passing by And it keeps me wonder, Were we meant to be? (Were we meant to be?) And can I rest here at your side In the darkness that you hide Just reach out and lay your hands on me In sorrow's kitchen we will dance Taste the wine, take a chance Leave the rest of the world behind Come with me my precious... In sorrow's kitchen we will make it last In sorrow's kitchen... I will listen as you speak But don't turn no tricks on me And don't answer me With the same old questions (With the same old questions) So let us walk into the night I will be your guiding light cause underneath the masquerade... I know how you feel In sorrow we will dance Taste the tears of romance Won't you come with me? Won't you come with me? In sorrow's kitchen we will dance Taste the wine, take a chance Leave the rest of the world behind Come with me this our time In sorrow's kitchen we will dance Hurt each other time after time Spend the rest of our days in tears Come with me my precious... (Into the sorrow's kitchen) (Into the sorrow's kitchen) In sorrow's kitchen we will dance (Into the sorrow's kitchen) Hurt each other time after time (Into the sorrow's kitchen) Spend the rest of our days in tears (Into the sorrow's kitchen) Come with me my precious... 06. 1:40 AM Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
One burning winter night,
I saw the world through a different light Euphoria she smiled at me and took me by the hand Connected through drunken ties, Bent out of shape just to kill some time We're losing ground as we speak, We better walk away (walk away) I didn't mean to be the one (to walk away), But I can't make up my mind We're moving down, down, down As your hands slip into mine And without a sound The world comes crashing down We pray to the moon, to keep our secret I won't forget the time, we walked into the light (into the light) Yet another cross to bear, I didn't think I'd really care With the noose tight around my neck, I struggle to survive And every time I disappear Into drunken pastures of despair I searched the light that we once shared, Though my heart says walk away (walk away) I didn't mean to be the one (to walk away), But I can't make up my mind We're moving down, down, down As your hands slip into mine And without a sound The world comes crashing down We pray to the moon, to keep our secret I won't forget the time, we walked into the light (into the light) With no time left to spend At 1:40 AM 07. Murky Waters Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
In my dark and empty heartland
Shadows paint the walls And from what I can remember I've deceived you all In my dark and empty heartland, Sorrow keeps moving in And nothing seems to be changing This everlasting sin I've let it slip away, stabbed in the back Stuck in all this madness, I'm about to crack So let these murky waters take me home I don't want to be here left alone In this broken barren wasteland Hope's my only friend And my wounds they seem so lonely Will the ever mend? In my dark and empty heartland Shadows paint the walls In the reflections from the mirror I see a portrait of a whore I've let it slip away, stabbed in the back Stuck in all this madness, I'm about to crack So let these murky waters take me home I don't want to be here left alone (left alone) please don't leave me on my own... 08. Way Down Low Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
I did you wrong, there's no point in saying
That we can't go on, I've seen it in your eyes I live within and I know that it hurts you I watch the distance growing colder with each lie (with each lie) I'm way down low Where the darkness grows I feel way down low And I'm begging you, please Resurrect my soul It's been to long, it goes without saying So I move on, No point in dragging you down I've felt the seasons turn, I've watched your halo burn No second chance No fake romance can save us now (save us now) I'm way down low Where the darkness grows I feel way down low And I'm begging you, please Resurrect my soul 09. Empty Days Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
The shadows are closing in
Haunted by the breathing shame And I know, I can not be forgiven My tears are made out of sin Blinded by the heart And I know, I can't go on So I leave these empty days behind me I put my head into the noose Hey, Hey So I leave these empty days behind me C'est la vie So long With darkness in my eyes I reach for the other side And I know, I'm on my way As the noose gets tighter As I fear the dark I know, that I've been forgiven So I leave these empty days behind me I put my head into the noose Hey, Hey So I leave these empty days behind me C'est la vie So long 10. Slowmotion Apocalypse Music by Johan Ericson, Andy Hindenäs Lyrics by Johan Ericson
I try to find a way, to comprehend with the mess I'm in
And i find it hard to stay, Surrounded by emotions so sickening I can not breathe, in quicksand you know It's been a long hard road... of unsound thinking But I keep moving on, meanwhile I'm sinking It's breathing down my neck, All the time we spent doing nothing I wasted all those years, While the years made a waste of me I can not breathe, In quicksand you know It's been a long hard road... of unsound thinking But I keep moving on, meanwhile I'm sinking... I'm moving on |
