1. The Parting

In the weak lights
I saw you becoming the lie
Taking it all for granted like freedom
It’s something you’ll never have

Forget what’s said and hear me sing to you
How I’ve set out to kill my soul
The nightward ways, the labor it brings
The verdict that I came for
Migration’s song

Patterns of death overwhelms
Fixation rise
I came along the way
And came to a conclusion

The indifferent sky is made of lead and so beautiful
Submission, come you will!

In the weak light
I saw you becoming the lie
Taking it all for granted like freedom
It’s something you’ll never have

The parting
End origin!
Fade into earth…

Times ablaze
Under the flags we chose
Denied my step
And froze my heart
Yet I stare
With nothing left to do
The verdict that I came for
Migration’s song

Patterns of death overwhelms
Fixation rise
I came along the way
And came to a conclusion

The indifferent sky is made of lead and so beautiful
Submission, come you will!

Take your well-deserved step into darkness
I’ll become your eyes
You have no other

We have to walk along this wire
Trust the one that never trusted you
Trust the one that never trusted you

In the weak light
I saw you becoming the lie
Taking it all for granted like freedom
It’s something you’ll never have

The parting
End origin!
Fade into earth

2. The One You Are Looking For Is Not Here

This breaking vow
rests so near my tongue,
anchor on the cloud.

Shade upon the sun,
you took my word for it.
The vanishing of doubt
will unfold my empty space.

Your time froze over!

I must lead the way
for this conclusion,
I let you inherit these
words I sing to you.

See how death
will bestow seclusion,
the one you are looking
for is hidden from view.

In my absence now
when time will pass,
in nothingness abide.

See the evening rise
and take my word for it,
focuses beyond your vision
will unfold my empty space.

Your time froze over!

I must lead the way
for this conclusion,
I let you inherit these
words I sing to you.

See how death
will bestow seclusion,
The one you are looking
for is hidden from view.

Do you remember when
it didn’t used to be so dark
and everything was possible still?

3. Hypnone

You will never rest
until the stars burn out
My day is done, I love the
sound of no one coming by.

Tomb beneath the trees,
the name unsung,
the darkness in the cracks.

I am not what you have waited for!

Trust, nothing is enough,
this hunting ground.
I need the freedom
to control my own.

I need the sound of rain
wearing dependence down.
The line must be kept so thin
To live near life, not within.

No need to take the test
before the dark must shine,
reflect my eyes and strip
this creation of mine.

Tomorrow is so long,
the Dead End King is here.
Black wings upon his back!

I am not what you have waited for!

Trust, nothing is enough,
this hunting ground.
I need the freedom
to control my own.

I need the sound of rain
wearing dependence down.
The line must be kept so thin
To live near life, not within.

4. The Racing Heart

White sun, spring of wealth
Come for a good time
It’s not what I have

Vibrate
Life on the line
My racing heart
Your vacant mind

If I sow a wind now
I will reap a storm
You saw me sliding away from the sun

And tomorrow who will come
And put their hand over mine?
Mine with the burning shape of a gun

Washed out
Soul of money
I couldn’t keep the fire
It’s not what I do

Vibrate
Life on the line
My racing heart
It’s all I find

Inside the sickness – rest!
Inside the sickness – rest!

If I sow a wind now
I will reap a storm
You saw me sliding away from the sun

And tomorrow who will come
And put their hand over mine?
Mine with the burning shape of a gun

If I sow a wind now (wind now)
I will reap a storm (will reap a storm)
You saw me sliding away from the sun (away from the sun)
And tomorrow who will come (who will come)
And put their hand over mine? (put their hand over mine?)
Mine with the burning (burning) shape of a gun

5. Buildings

Think of the days when I… had too much of the things we found
Resistance died down… fell on frozen soil

Bleed a little for a different day…
Going deeper to come away…

On the concrete sky… I saw the buildings rise
But keep our lights in shadow still
In the wind’s eye our reflection dies
Glass shrines of muted will

Dead is the time that I… see from here on out
This burial ground
One more down and buildings recoil

On the concrete sky… I saw the buildings rise
But keep our lights in shadow still
In the wind’s eye our reflection dies
Glass shrines of muted will
On the concrete sky… I saw the buildings rise
But keep our lights in shadow still

6. Leech

So solitary you have been
Your time starts to fade
Distorted sky
And you find me

Revolve inside
My blood is yours too
That’s what you say
It couldn’t be further from the truth

I find the soul in medication
All my loving has turned and washed away

You took my mind’s eye
You bring it wherever you go
How could you take away the burning I had?

My rage, static!
The closing line, whatever you say
It’s my heart you leech
You crushed the edge of symmetry

Insignificant
You are still
My words in your mouth
Lingering, spilling over

Revolve inside
My blood is yours too
That’s what you say
It couldn’t be further from the truth

I see – you don’t want liberation
You keep belonging to what’s not even here

You took my mind’s eye
You bring it wherever you go
How could you take away the burning I had?

My rage, static!
The closing line, whatever you say
It’s my heart you leech
You crushed the edge of symmetry

7. Ambitions

Hear my thin voice
Hear my words fall down
See my ambitions fade out
Had so much better times

At night, walking on the tracks
Change my perspective
Idle hands with wounds and cracks
Stale, ineffective

But past the veil the memories of things
Still so in love with you

So dense this strife, kicked the life
I feel this weight upon my heart

Indecision, sow the seed
Aspiration is never within reach
At night there is no other view
Sing a song for the ones who never made it

In the ward, under yellow lights
Under linden trees I am
Transparent and led to believe
That things would change if I go away

The lowering sky under which we go

So dense this strife, kicked the life
I feel this weight upon my heart

Hear my thin voice
Hear my words fall down
See my ambitions fade out
Had so much better times

Constant noise behind the overcoming
I had no choice but to rearrange

The scar is open
I am not allowed to understand
I take it as you’re not coming back

Indecision, sow the seed
Aspiration is never within reach
At night there is no other view
Sing a song for the ones who never made it

See my ambitions fade out
Had so much better times

8. Undo You

At life’s four-way stop
The tinge in your shadow drops
Fate pulls you down for the count
With broken promises to amount

Time seal our ways
To the heart of our hiding place
When all our lifelines have been crossed
Some scars can never heal from what we lost

To fail the test and depart the strong
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem, in death a song

And it seems to be that consistency
Is not what lingers ahead
But a virtue of the dead

One of these days hours pass yet the night stays
When your spirit won’t turn anew
The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you

Breathing, lifeless, we are not afraid to die
Breathe in life’s less – you’re afraid not to live

Breathing, lifeless, we are not afraid to die
Breathe in life’s less – you’re afraid not to live

To fail the test and depart the strong
Is to light the way where you have gone
For only our funerals to come
A requiem, in death a song

9. Lethean

How long is the pattern
going to speak for you?
How far can your voice reach,
your song below the night?

From my view I can see you
shudder where you are standing
in the vision, cyan blue.

Now October,
this time you won’t
be needing me…

To run along the freeway, to weigh
one’s heart against the oncoming dark.
You left me with the pills, we had plans but
you couldn’t make it through the trees.

What took you so long,
the high grass?
What took you so long?

Translate the fire, the venom’s
rush inside your heart.
How long can winter color
your every word?

And the skyline passes
the houses and the cities.
Hyperopia, carmine red!

Now this river,
this time I will…

To run along the freeway, to weigh
one’s heart against the oncoming dark.
You left me with the pills, we had plans but
you couldn’t make it through the trees.

What took you so long,
the high grass?
What took you so long?

10. First Prayer

In the prayer, can’t seem to find the right words
We stretch our dead arms for salvation
The foundation and the chemical need
Discordance put a veil over my creed

So sweet my fever now
Embraced by its tainted wings
Cup my hands and taste the spite
Immune to the truths you told

In the wake
Reverence in my every move
The wretched stars aligned for dead wisdom
The apparition rise with my every breath
Grasping for the one who lie beneath

You leave now, leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters, see them fall

Idle stare, who will come forth from the dry wind
Find my blood and clothes and rust
Cleaned the past like water through stone
Earth did cast a shade over my sleep

So sweet my fever now
Embraced by its tainted wings
Cup my hands and taste the spite
Immune to the truths you told

You leave now, leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters, see them fall
You leave now, leave my void of prayers
Take these words to go with you
Take the splinters, see them fall

11. Dead Letters

Vexation
Internal void
My dreams are getting darker and darker

Dim my lights
Time is frail
You shut my mind, oh well

Trapped and choked
Erased my trail
Split the chest
My heart couldn’t feel more pale

Only once could I see clear

Vexation
Internal void
My dreams are getting darker and darker and darker

This life before me
Its blood runs so still
The call of the bird
The song that makes the hours… go!

The change – inactive
Dead letters from these words

Dim my lights, one by one
The sordid pale
Broken run
Confined in escape on burnt grass
Below the crest lie in wait for the ending

Only once could I see clear

My dreams are getting darker and darker and darker

This life before me
Its blood runs so still
The call of the bird
The song that makes the hours go…
