Missing Pieces
05:39
|
|||
Beginning with a farewell
Forgetting the things I did
All those moments when I failed
To give up my old habits
Addiction seems to die hard
Compassion is still to find
All the words I've never said
Are calling from another realm
Hang on to the sky
Hang on to your scars
Smell the scent of all you lack
Missing pieces of my heart
So tired I can't sleep
So tired I can't keep it up
So tired I can't lie down
Hope I'll see you some other time
The effect is coming down
The loop has finished its round
Girl you know you smell so swell
Not enough of a story to tell
The two of us on a bench
The feeling isn't so well
Won't take another shortcut
So beautiful that it hurts
Hang on to the sky
Hang on to your scars
Smell the scent of all you lack
Desertion of all you like
Hang on to the sky
Hang on to your scars
Smell the scent of all you lack
Missing pieces of my heart
So tired I can't sleep
So tired I can't keep it up
So tired I can't lie down
Hope I'll see you some other time

Fading
03:50
|

I'm fading...
I hear you fading and I'm severed from light
I can't be waiting when you keep sinking down
I'm fading 'cause your songs are the Life
Don't desert me – Dejection fills my sight
Don't forsake me now
My world is drowning out
As your voice raised my soul
In silence do I fall
I'm fading into the darkest night
Where timeless oceans preexisted the tide
I'm wasting without your stream of life
All out of love, all out of faith, into the black
Don't forsake me now
My world is drowning out
Descending as the moon
Your silence is my tomb
I hear you fading but I need your flame to rise
I fear the strain under this drear unfeeling shroud
The prison-house closes upon my barren mind
The Pit is gaping right at me without a sound
Don't forsake me now
My world is drowning out
As your voice raised my soul
In silence do I fall
Don't forsake me now
My world is drowning out
Descending as the moon
Your silence is my tomb

Ode To Spleen
05:44
|
|||
Misty mountains are where I dwell
For solitude has become my shell
Down in your world I'm but a slave
Silence and sleep are all I crave
Beyond the dales, across the hills
Above the moors, afar the cities
All I mean to say is I'm better off
Let me leave and stray far off
I've sailed and sowed, reaped and been wrecked
Now is my time to disconnect
I've come to see what never shows
I've come to kneel and loathe
I've toiled
I'm soiled
And devoid
Somber forests, ghostly ruins
Burning deserts and marshes green
I'll walk as far as I can go
Reaching for the snows
All truths are harsh when laying bare
I need a truce, I swear
Forever numb is my repose
Sweet is the mead that flows
From decoy to prey, roaming the shadows
Embracing decay 'til I'm left to rot
Half a knave, half a priest, I'm a saint and a scoundrel
Flesh is ever so weak, misery's so dull
'tis my ode to spleen, 'tis my dying chant
I can only breathe when I'm in a trance
Nerver free, bow low
The disease is spreading, shackles hold
I've toiled
I'm soiled
And devoid
Save me, I burn
Save me, I burn
Save me, I burn
The enemy has returned

Shallow
04:32
|
|||
It won't be long until I fade again
It won't be long until I've failed again
Don't wanna believe what I can't deny
I'm alone upon every sea, under stormy skies
The sun's so cold, its light's so vain
In the freezing moon I've died again
The sun has blinded me astray
May the freezing moon take me home again
It's always back and forth
Whether you spit or swallow
It all amounts to naught
My litany's an echo
Leaky vessels of gold
Upon which rain pours
Awaiting the flood
Shallow
It won't be long until the haze again
Covers my song, extinguishing the blaze
Don't wanna relieve what still holds me back
I cannot sail on the breeze on this ship of glass
The sun's so cold, its light's so vain
In the freezing moon I've died again
The sun has blinded me astray
May the freezing moon take me home again
It's always back and forth
Whether you spit or swallow
It all amounts to naught
My litany's an echo
Leaky vessels of gold
Upon which rain pours
Awaiting the flood
Shallow
It's always back and forth
Whether you spit or swallow
It all amounts to naught
My litany's an echo
Lost in the flowing sands
Where leads this fleeting road
When we burn at the stake
May we feed our demons

Prophets
05:06
|
|||
Wrapped up around me, I know
Your warmth surrounds my lowly ghost
And even when I can't feel the love you breathe
I cannot blame
Anyone but myself
And I can take
Every doubt there is
I will not sway
I'll scorn the high road 'til I'm back to clay
I'll choose the crooked path at every turn that I take my way
And through deserts bloom anew
Am I a cursed seer or a tragedian impaled
For all the lines I bleed seem prophecies of late
And yet I cannot see how these imprints of pain
Can foretell all the bitter days that lie ahead
Rintrah still roars and shakes his fires in the burdened air
Hungry clouds swag on the deep but the chains remain
And I know that I can't avail to much here on my own
All the prophets have gone away
And left a trail of dust
They've gone away
And wasted their wisdom
They've gone away
Unheeded and forlorn
So that I cannot pray
And yet I'm rising as I fall
Am I a cursed seer or a tragedian impaled
For all the lines I bleed seem prophecies of late
And yet I cannot see how these imprints of pain
Can foretell all the bitter days that lie ahead
Am I a cursed seer or a tragedian impaled
For all the lines I bleed seem prophecies of late
Though every time I sink I don't emerge the same
The cycle repeats itself again and again

Something Beautiful
05:45
|
|||
All along, all the way, I've been running away
All the way, all along, longing to find a home
And the roads I'm walking are always winding
Used to know who I was, I don't know anymore
And I'm sad and I'm lost
Concealed is the path across
I'm so blind I can't climb
Someone teach me how to fly
'cause I'm bound to the ground
Kill me now to keep me satisfied
Wanna die, I'm so fine, I'm so down
I can't keep up the fight
I wish it all could faint, I'm in love with the rain
I wish I could give up but I am no coward
I wish it could make sense, wish I could cross the fence
But then I feed my mind and my pupils eat my eyes
And I'm sad and I'm lost
Concealed is the path across
I'm so blind I can't climb
Someone teach me how to fly
'cause I'm bound to the ground
Kill me now to keep me satisfied
Wanna die, I'm so fine, I'm so down
I can't keep up the fight
I wanna destroy something beautiful

Soul To Kill
07:40
|
|||
Demons keep screaming at the back of my head
They cry and shriek in agony, forbidding me to rest
This rage of mine I can hardly bear
Steers me towards unknown depths
Don't let my lies bleed down on you
I've built up walls I can't get through
Behind the mask I'm trying still
My heart to mend and my soul to keep
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
My heart to mend and my soul to keep
Nothing amounts to nothing, I know this to be true
My world is slowly caving in, fallen out of the blue
I'll let it all go to waste
I'm hopeless, stressed and useless
Hopeless, stressed and useless
Don't let my lies bleed down on you
I've built up walls I can't get through
Behind the mask I'm trying still
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
My heart to blame and my soul to keep
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
Think I know this scene
And I know this song
I don't know this place
Yet I've been here before
I know what it means
But I don't know what for
Don't know what I chase
But still I could have sworn
It all isn't clear
But most of it is wrong
This kingdom of tears
Is where I'm bound evermore
In this church of fear
Under blackened vaults
Where all gargoyles grin
I always knew the score
Downward spiral here I come again
Don't let my lies bleed down on you
I've built up walls I can't get through
Behind the mask I'm trying still
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
My heart to blame and my soul to kill
