Dark Tranquillity - The Absolute lyrics



Tracks



01. The Absolute

In every hour every day
This chosen solitude is gone
The pressure coursing
Through your every nerve
Will rise and fade away

There's madness to this method
conformity now on display

When confidence become the enemy
In time our questions lose their meaning
Wish it away and it comes back to you somehow
A loneliness denied

Our shallow pool of wisdom
Reflects upon our innocent face

Between attacks of pure anxiety
You see humanity slip away
You force the lie to be an absolute
To where there will be no return

There is a face on the surface
I don't ever want to see
There is light above the water
That is not supposed to be
If there is truth in this resistance
I don't ever want to know

02. Time Out Of Place

It gets ahead of us
Blind ambition meets our desperation
It gets ahead of us
It leads a charge to where we should not go
It makes no sense to me

Our willingness to hold on to belief
It got away from us
The thought of understanding what's around
Have we gone too far this time?
To argue from authority in this case
It just got away

I feel we've lost our place in time

It's getting closer now
The fear that we have held off for so long
It's getting closer now
To where we know there can be no return
It makes no sense to me

What has been set in motion here today
It makes no sense anymore
Was it too little, too late
Or too much too fast?
This time we've have gone too far
