1. Loss
No one to trust or depend on no more
Nothing is left of what I found before
Tears of blood as I bury your name
Easier to deal with anger and shame
Cut the pleasure to the core
Am I scared or are you bored
Silently drifting, or on your shore
Why is it and who can tell for sure
Mouth made of sand and my heart made of stone
Nothing to say and the hands left alone
What did I do, did I hurt you sweet soul
All that I wanted was warmth, now it’s cold
Like forever, the rain keeps falling
Down
Like forever, it hurts
Cut the pleasure to the core
My loss
2. Undertow
Something’s changing
I feel
I see
Tearing me to dust
Stillborn laughter
My master is here
How do I know?
Undertow tells me so
Down I go
Hard-eyed mirrors
I look
I see
Longing to be air
Long time missing, but waiting around
How do I know?
Undertow tells me so
I’m lethal
So stay forever under arms
When only fear holds you together
You’ll come dancing
Leave them all
Starving proudly
I sleep
I win
Gone with the wind
Fairyland waiting
If I’m small enough, I’ll go in
How do I know?
Undertow tells me so
3. These Mortal Sins
Oh, it’s really alluring
These mortal sins of the flesh
I never toy with amusement
And I have no time for repent
Down over my head
Silence, nothing unpleasant has been said
Define me and touch me and kiss me
Pretend I am your puppet on a string
Pretend I am yours and fully tamed now
What joy lies in these smallest, lawless sins
Down over my head
Silence, nothing unpleasant has been said
Under this coating of caring
Awaits the manipulating self
I never thought you could fool me
And my tears are already spent
4. Convertion
When your hands speak, my body converted to ears
When you grasp for air, all my words undone
This is it
When your longing grows, I shall encircle you
Where the nights are old
Where the morning will not come
Hot breath on naked skin
Unconscious, mouth to mouth
I rest in confidence
When all time has gone and the mountains turned to dust
In the darkest of night, there is peace, my love, for us
5. Remnants
Heaven knows I’ve not been good to you
Heaven knows I’ve not been true to you
Wasn’t nice to cut you up
Wasn’t nice to make you bleed
So much time and so much love
So much time and so much love
I’m on to your tricks
I’m on to you
Darling
So much time and nothing’s left
So much love and nothing’s left
Wasn’t nice to cut me up
Wasn’t nice to make me bleed like this
6. The Grinding Silence
