Mortality
04:43
|
|||
You have lost all your humanity, it seems
I am picking up the pieces you’ve left behind for me to clean
The shattered fragments of your memory are nearly clear to me
And in time, I’ll walk away to find the mortality in me
Don’t chase after me, it’s not your occupation
I’m not afraid to leave behind all the things I thought were mine
Look around, do you not see all the damage you have done?
Go away, don’t turn back, I can’t stand you anymore
I used to think that you had forgotten me
But now that I know that I’m too strong to fade away from your memory
You stole all I had to give to anyone
But in time, I walk away to find the mortality in me

No Escape
04:23

My beloved, you can’t run away from me
You mustn’t go where if you’re lost I cannot see
I find your games are both amusing and unkind
As if you want to mock the love of mine
No escape, you’re bound to me
No escape, you’re my fantasy
I try to watch you when you’re almost fast asleep
I close your eyes and plant a kiss upon your cheek
I dream that we are lost inside of all the trees
The snow will bless us from above peacefully

What's Your Pleasure?
04:43
|
|||
You can’t help but look down
Let me show you the other realm
Pleasure and pain
Tell me, what is your master?
Are you alive?
It seems that you are slowly dying inside
You cannot lie
I will help you get away
Do you think you’re fooling me?
I can see how sad you have become
And crying will not save you
From the battles that you have not won
Do you think you’re fooling me
With that disgrace of a smile?
You don’t have to pretend
I’ll make you leave yourself for a while
Come hither, venture near
I see you have the desire
To explore yourself
And all the darkness there within
You have no satisfaction
Just forget the things that you hold dear
And come away with me
I promise that we’ll tear your soul apart

Alone
03:24
|

I waited for you, I watched from inside my head
In a cold, dark room, my tears would bleed, I pretended to be free
There was no moonlight window, just the redness of the wall
I wished upon my recollection of the stars to leave it all
I cannot watch, yet I cannot look away
The fabric of my sanity has begun to fray
I am worth so much more than this, I can’t believe it’s come to this
I hope you are afraid, I hope you are ashamed
I could have run away, but my journey wasn’t through
All my guilt and superstition followed me to you
Why can’t you look into my eyes, are you made of stone?
It’s all too familiar, once again I’m left alone

Operation
05:49
|

I’ve forgotten who I am
It’s been so long, I’m trapped in time and space
But they say they have a plan
What is this mask they’ve put on my face?
Open her head, hope she’s not dead inside
What is there left to find?
Is she breathing, is her heart beating?
This could be the last operation
Open her head, hope she’s not dead inside
The light has left her eyes
Is she breathing, is her heart beating?
Don’t stay asleep too long
The knife moves closer to my head
They puncture veins with drugs that make me fly
The surgeon’s wrist begins to shake
Now I feel lightness everywhere inside

Void
03:21
|
|||
Trapped inside, I can’t escape
So many bodies in your wake
I’ll close my eyes and I won’t speak again
How long till I am free?
I lied to you, I do love you
Everything you said is true
I feel alone, I feel afraid
But you’re the beauty that I crave
I cannot tell, am I in hell?
How long till I am free?
I hate you, but I love you
What more will you take from me?
My heart is pounding when you’re near
You see that I am full of fear
The secrets inside me are true
I hate you, but I love you
The stars aligned for me to see
You shot the arrow in my knee
I couldn’t fly away
And charm was deceitful, beauty fleeting

My Dear
05:58
|

You look so pretty there, my dear
Just let me look at you, my dear
I’ll make you see that it’s so clear
No one adores you like I do, my dear
The better to see you with, my dear
The better to touch you with, my dear
The better to love you with, my dear
The better to eat you with, my dear
Why are you crying now, my dear?
In your eyes I can see the fear
I promise I won’t hurt you, dear
You’ll see you mustn’t run from me, dear
I could not help myself, my dear
I am a wolf by nature, dear
I wish you were around to hear
Tonight I didn’t mean to eat you, dear

Onward
05:41

Another day has passed, prisoners of the sun
Crying tears of blood, why don’t we matter to anyone?
Our time on earth was robbed, our spirits almost gone
We mustn’t rest too long, we must carry on
The weight of this burden on me is more than I can bear
The pain is without compare, but this isn’t the end for us
We must persevere; maybe we’ll be found
Please just look around, our bones are everywhere
If we do not carry our load, our fate lies in oblivion
We will be forgotten among the sky and stars
How could we go unnoticed? Why haven’t we been found?
Though we cry out loud, you don’t seem to hear the sound
Some of us have run only to be shot down
We’ve seen it all around, what an awful sound
The children cry alone for things they do not know
Please let us be free; please let us go home
