1. A Close Study
The mourners bow their heads
But I am not above
Flow in the evening rain
Despite how hard I try
I'm left just to be
Lonely and afraid
My sober thoughts lie here
I have kept them away
A silence through the glass
It's colder when you're near
Your vanity makes me bleed
Illusions never passed
Your silence helps me pull away
I push farther from my thoughts
You made me pleased with how I feel
But a friend is all I sought
The days just blend into a whole
The pale skies just seem to grow
I have so much to give
More than you'll ever know
My useless pulse is through
My hope is given away
My trust has been misplaced
As I struggle through the haze
if you simply saw my face
I'd find a way to stay
We didn't speak at all
of how we felt
It doesn't matter now
And so you're gone
No one seems to watch
Need to be around
Losing myself
in nowhere
away from your eyes
But what do you care
if I'm not here
Just tell me why
2. If Only
Try so hard to make things right
I need your strength to make it through
I don't think you realise
Just how much that you could do
I can't do right for being wrong
'Cause no matter what I do
If you know better than myself
Put the knowledge please to use
It's not so easy on my own
My smiles they wear so thin
The emptiness surrounding me
I'll gladly welcome in
I know that I should be home
I know it's not for me
I really can't break this alone
If only
3. So Down
I don't want to be a burden
I don't want to be alone
I just seem to keep falling
Through no fault of my own
Soft words fall on deafened ears
And goes in my fragile shell
So numb with no feelings
and so unable to tell
I can't see my way forward
I keep slipping away
Simply trying is not enough
I won't give in this way
There's a light I can follow on
But my way is damned
If I can't find the path ahead
Won't stay 'til I end
Let’s sit here for a while
I'll try to crack a smile
I want you here but I'm not sure
Take my hand will you lead
Dress my wounds so I won't bleed
I think we've been through this before
When I'm so down, you're not around
I now know I don't need you here
My broken mind, will someday find
a way to hold my dearest near
Who said this isn't murder
That's just how it feels to me
4. Amber
In the dark, would you kiss the damned for me, an ever constant stream
So Amber, in our tastes but dare we dream, drink deep the sight of me
So fill me, I feel your warm flesh on my skin, and finally feel my wake
Embracing, and emptiness that pours from you, a weakness I still crave
Tongues that whisper on leaves that fell from you
Rotting in the autumn dew
Broken feelings of how you made me feel,
With your body cover me
Heaven bores from your throat into mine
I taste the sweetness from your amber
5. Alone With My Thoughts
6. A Relation to Absence
7. Inside the Flood Diary
8. Broken Window
