Abstract
02:39
|
|||
I create
an abstract painting
on my chest
I draw
the lines of endings
I wash you clean of me
would you please be here
when I disappear
would you
please be here
would you make
death complete
waking over me

you'd think you'd know
what happens
you'd think you'd know
how it feels
you'd think you'd know
how it burns
you'd think you'd know
the color
you'd think you'd care
about me
you'd think you'd care
about love
you'd think you'd care
for us
you'd think you'd stop
pretending
you'd think you'd stop
attacking
when the upbeat sounds from your dying heart emerge
you'd think you'd know
about me
you'd think you'd know
how I feel
you'd think you'd stop
screaming
you'd think you'd stop
bleeding
I'll be there for you when it gets darker down in hell
I will be there for you when the devil digs inside
I will dry your tears when the pain becomes too strong
I'll be yours till the end of time

God Better
06:36
|
|||
I wash my eyes clean of you
I try to place you in the past where you belong
I try to stop myself from opening my mouth
I try to fight this urge to make you listen one more time
god better stop me
before I hurt you again
god better end this now
before it's too late
I'm getting closer
to you
I'm getting closer
to the end
I
I didn't want for this to happen
I didn't plan for you to cry
this much
do you still remember my hands?
do you still remember the pain?
do you still remember my voice?
do you still remember the fear?
I put your through
God better stop me
before I hurt you again
god better end this now
before it's too late
but I think I need some love
I think I need something warm for a change

Once More
05:28
|
|||
I hate the way
I am
I hate the way
I crawl
I hate the way
I need your love
I hate the things
you do
I hate the things
you make me feel
I hate the way
you move
I hate the way
you are
once more
once more
I lift you up
once more
once more
I bring you to me
once more
once more
I feel your touch
once more
once more
for you and me

Thoughtgrinder
05:56
|

everything seems like a blur
it flickers in my eye
you were the air
i couldn't breathe
you were the wind
that made me believe
that something was real
you eat my thoughts
you make me dream
of demonic
pictures
in my head
you make hurt
deep inside
you make me hard
and cold
frozen
I will always remember
the lack of your voice
why don't you speak
why don't you ever talk
why don't you talk to me
why won't you talk to me
why won't you talk to me
why won't you speak
why won't you ever talk to me
why won't you ever talk
why won't you talk
why do you ignore me

When the Water Falls
07:22
|
|||
it's like nothing
can be said
as if every word
is a drop
of water
no words
to carry this
no hearts
will live through this
no hope
to shine through
the water falls
and crush you
living near the end
of everything
that could be ever said
and all will fall
and all you thought you had
will disappear
and all will fall
and all you loved
fades away

Emberface
07:26
|

you know
you should know
it sinks deeper
then drowns
it stops breathing
near your heart
I sleep
underground
the worms crawl through
etching holes
the sounds thunder
through my head
as my neck twist backwards
my mouth runs dry
from eating the earth
taken back
by earth
taken back
by earth
how
how can you
how
how can you
love me

Your Broken Bones
07:21
|
|||
the sun
has lost it's light
and the winds
are quiet
these grounds
feels harder now
while it fades
and i walk on bleeding feet
to where you are
and you climb towards the things
you've lost inside
and i
i can hold your breath
as you cry these words
to make you
forget
everything
and it burns
and it tears
and these clouds
rip a hole in the earth
and you know
and you know
and you know this is wrong
and you know
and you know
and you know this is taking too long
and the silence echoes
through your broken bones

Requiems and a Lullaby
07:25
|
|||
I lie
like a corpse in the frozen ground
midwinter
my eyes
can only see the sky
that clear blue sky
you can keep your heaven
you can keep your loving god
I can do without
you can have your lovers
you can your valentines
i can do without
i could stay right here
and feel as the life comes back
out here
unseen
and the sprouts shoot through my skin
and the blood drains from my pores
i can do without
your precious life
my heart's not beating
my pulse reached it's final stop
my skin starts fading
my bones started turning white
long ago
my thoughts start fading
my memories all gone
i'll disappear
for the ages to find
I will
remain in the soil right here
for you to find
so bring your shovels
and your excavation sites
and dig me out
from the frozen ground
so bring your tombstones
and your requiems
and sing your lullabies
before I turn to stone again
