1. From The Ashes...
Strange, familiar the face
Displayed, still retains its grace
And while you disappear
Never my heart so near
Released from severed pride constraints
Detaching brittle smiles from pain
Obscured once
Whirling from my memories instead
From the ashes, settle in my head
Evasive, clinging to the places where we hide
Pulling all inside of me outside
Slow, passing the lines
Forgetting the ones gone by
Her hands faking control
Tearing my heart, my soul
Released from severed pride constraints
Detaching brittle smiles from pain
A few words to speak, none to express
Some empty words I leave you with
I hope they’ll bring some comfort nonetheless
None for me I must admit
They abandon the scene
Fleeing still further from me
And while crowds disappear
Never my heart so near
2. Sweet Sorrow
None to refrain, by blood all the same
To receive gain as grief’s sweetest pain
None to withhold the price to unfold
What amount for your soul to be sold?
Strangers meet to join the flow
A list of names I hardly know
Their listed values show
Their sweet sorrow to stain
Forming lines to drain
Keeping smiles restrained
Further the line
No one to decline
Claims increase with the passing of time
3. Loss
Sinking in
Slowly I begin losing sight of you
Can’t recall your face I knew so well
Stay with me, don’t abandon me
Dream with me, say you always will
Talk to me, watch over me
Smile at me like you always did
Strong the bond
Reaching far beyond to where you reside
Looking forward to seeing you at night
4. Beneath The Surface
With childlike certainty
Detached from gravity
Distorting sanity
In the known reality
Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see
This pain living in my memory
Beneath the surface of reality
Mere words don’t mean anything to me
Speak of someone strange, unknown to me
The truth that lies withstand
The meaning words can bend
Ignore these facts I can’t
I do not understand
Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see
Faith runs thin, a grain of sand
A river without source I am
Like a stream, it all slips through my hands
Distracting faith beside of me
Showing only what I want to see
5. Empty
In flesh you’ve torn my wounds so deep
Your expectations, a slope too steep
My conscious mind convincing me
Unworthy, not wasting a breath on me
Searching for meaning
In this wasted and desolate place
Walking the path that you chose
Descending pain you dispose
Release the will to decide my fate
Just empty inside
The more you fade, contradictory
The stronger the grip that you have on me
I cannot deny my dependency
You’re bleeding me dry just to take from me
Searching for meaning
In this wasted and desolate place
6. Until Death Do Us Part
A promise became a chain
Just unable to flee
I developed a taste for your name
And the doors it will open for me
Falling from grace
Without this bonding and name to display
Demanding, the race
The sacrifices we must make
As these binding words, though just a phrase
Have the power to seal or to break
Your sweet promised gold close to my heart
The lengths we will go until death do us part
The fear that became the sin
To explain the reason again
No wondering why
Each distance for me is too near
Lose a piece with every new change I try
To open my heart is to fear
And standing by
See my life just die before my eyes
And leave behind a little piece of my heart
Until death do us part
7. Extinct
As tears flow down, my soul untouched
My mind in a cloud, unmoved by such
When two different sides and views collide
And two separate dreams do us divide
So withered the bond to break
All too much for me to take
You seem to miss the words I say
You turn to me, I turn away
The more you bled, the more I sinned
A promise gone, a dream extinct
All that we argue and disagree
No chance for you, no reason for me
No place to breathe, the air has thinned
The feeling numb, to go extinct
Too stale the water, distant
Too faint the colours I see
Trying all I can, recall a time some way
Not blinded by greed, but despite
No images come to mind
It weighs me down to sink
Myself to go extinct
All that we argued and disagreed
No reason for you, no chance for me
When two different sides and views collide
And two separate dreams do us divide
8. Room 9
Distant voices in time I hear
Broken silence to disappear
Surrounding walls
Play shadows of the fears I had
And I regret not following
Emerging shapes
Out of the noise my pain to feed
As lights recede room 9 remains
Hallway noises there to ignore
My saviours piled up in stacks of four
Staring into the numbing lake
Static noises do me awake
9. No Salvation
I feel the strings
They are cutting through my fingers
They feel like words
That are slipping through my teeth
Is it my blood I am sweating through my bare skin
That keeps on falling, sliding down beneath?
No silence
No peace inside
No time left to redeem myself
Now that we chose
No salvation for those who we are
Make us see how to break free
Words that we bleed
On the ones we’ll be needing the most
Do condemn. Do you understand?
Your misery, my heavy stone
My flesh and blood to me unknown
Your faith, a light from which I flee
It takes me down, shines right through me
Erased, the dream and unsure the destination
Is this unreal, is it more than I deserve?
I cannot cope with this silent desolation
And break the bond you are trying to preserve
No silence
No peace inside
No time left to redeem myself
10. Untruth
Just a brittle smile you put on my face
Can’t reach out to me in confining space
Far too cold, you can’t make me understand
Reaching out of the dark
Pulling the ground from under me
Spilling all to shed your killing guilt
It weighs me down to drown me
Makes me wonder why, as you state the facts
And provide me with what your statement lacks
As the evidence speaks the truth to me
Reaching out of the dark
Pulling the ground from under me
Is this how you make yourself feel free?
Because it does not work for me
Is this how you rid yourself from the pain?
By leaving me alone again
You’re leaving me to hide, leaving me to die
Just a brittle smile to put on my face
No extended reach, no confining space
No one there to make me understand
11. Lies Inc.
Your sweet voice stabs my back
Though soft the words, the feeling lacks
Knew all along? Then why the wait?
We lived a lie. The truth too late
So there it is
See me hurt
I never thought that you would
Be the one misunderstood
So bring me down for my own good
I thought of all
Only you understood
Gone the hopes, your secrecy
And with it the last of me
They’re lining up to lick my blood
So damn sincere, your words do cut
12. Room 6
I walk down the road
Somewhere in between
Love and hope I’ve lost
No one here but me
Questioning and losing grip
But letting go is harder than to keep holding on
Severed lies my body
And the will to keep on going lies beneath
The more I want to change
The more I stay the same
But cannot seem to find
The door through which I came
My head, a room, a void, a never-ending forest
My guilt, a key
Keeps locking me in, keeping me in
13. Epilogue
Lying here, buried for too many years
To feel anything, if not regrets
My hands too cold
My view distorted
The light too dim
Now that we chose
No salvation for those who we are
Make us see how to break free
Words that we bleed
On the ones we’ll be needing the most
Do condemn. Do you understand?
