What She Was
02:36
|
|||
|
'Here I sleep':
the chill of death-
the taste is on my mind.
A window to an empty house
that showed us what she was.
What does she think
as she leaves her life behind?
Will she ever spill herself
about the life of what she was?
'Please do not move, do not empty out your precious time'
I do not see the image that could show me what she was
so long ago: visions of an empty space.
So long ago, but only for another night.
Here I sleep,
the chill of death,
it whispers at my consciousness.
I never saw the memories that could show us what she was.

My Sickness
04:30
|
|||
|
I'm sick of choking on your tongue,
I'm sick of staring at the floor,
I'm sick of making myself useless:
sick of writhing on the floor.
I see no reason to exist.
You're like the scar of emptiness.
I'm sick of telling you "I love you"
you are a cancer on my consciousness.
Why do I exist?
Why do I breathe?
Why do I resign myself
to be lost in uncertainty?
I am useless, useless, useless for you.
I am an orphan with no will to breathe.
I am useless, useless, useless for you.
I have no will to love nor will to grieve.
Why?

Night Was Long
06:04
|
|||
|
Are we listening to all the conditions?
Are we listening to all of the pain
and wondering if there is anything
to give into?
To wander aimless and true.
To find us in our memories
wanting life to forgive us.
---
Reaching outward,
wanting "salvation" to come,
Looking aimless at things.
Letting it fall,
letting waves unfold.
Was it worth it?
And night was long
in your eyes...
---
If you come, glorious, and light
has shown you
under the sun
night was long
but only for the night.

Messenger of G-d
06:29
|
|||
|
I'm a messenger of G-d
I call out from your mouth;
the air is bleach and ammonia,
There's no more to let out.
Our love is a sky falling over,
but I long to repeat it
like I long for crucifixion
as long as you will feed it.
---
Replacing every word
Dissolving in your lies
Suffer like your sweetness
In your eyes.
---
I walked across the water:
I wanted it to hurt you.
I drowned like G-d in a mystery,
I'm urging for you too;
Absolve us of our wisdom,
absolve me of what I do best.
I'll drown in your blood in the moonlight
by placing my hands on your chest.
---
Listen to the silence
whispering of cancer
dying in the image
of your eyes.

Grudge For Life
02:24
|
|||
|
Tell me why am I losing my sense?
Tell me why am I composed of dust?
Inside my sense is like a sin-
and why can I live my life
reflecting all your evils.
Why can I conjure darkness
from everything that I've witnessed?
I've got a grudge for life.

Clear Lake In The Future
08:29
|
|||
|
I've grown tired of my reflection,
it's easy enough:
get used to nothing.
My body is contorting to your expression
hear me now-say it clear,
let it wear you like your skin.
I've grown bitter in your dark eyes.
It's easy to say, "get used to nothing".
I've tasted the blood of Jesus;
I'm drunk enough to say, "I am through",
and now I'll let all come to you.
"And I have dilluted,
and I have been cruel,
and I have been hopeless,
and I have no faith.
And I still remember,
and I still forget,
and I still am breathing,
and I still forget,
and I still will love you,
and I still forget,
and I will never lose you,
and I still forget."

Guilt
05:43
|
|||
|
Now I am just your servant,
I'm covered in your lust
and longing is a prison
for the ones who live like us.
Your love is like a cancer,
you wear it perfect too.
Your beauty's like a river
to drown out all the wounds
and I am what you make me,
and I think just like you do,
and I have no redemption-
you call it servitude.
And I am just your servant,
and guilt is what I bleed.
No, G-d will not forgive us
and love is sympathy
and soon, we will see...
I once walked through abandon.
I wandered through despair.
Where G-d had watched us suffer there,
he told us not to care;
and I was always certain,
and time is passing through,
you worship what you offer,
you give out what is you.
This guilt is my oppression,
it is my only tool.
It deepens my condition,
it carries us as fools.
But I am what you make me
and guilt betrays my need.
No, God will not forgive us
as love is sympathy
and soon, we will see...
The simple life of heroes,
the twisted life of saints:
they confuse us with their memories
and their red and golden paints;
and who will write songs of you,
and who will love you through,
when I am just a memory
and love has conquered you?
And I am not forgiven
I'm punished for love like you
No G-d will not forgive us
as love is sympathy
and soon, we will see...

What Becomes
03:13
|
|||
|
Do I think it's simple?
Is it coming back?
Never mind the objects and
what becomes.
Glimmer like an angel
show me to my path
leaving the moments as,
"what becomes?"
Silence always lingers,
is this breath our last?
Or, is it coming back as
what becomes?

Revenge
02:40
|
|||
|
Consume everything
so nothing will survive
then give up yourself,
you never were alive.
Consume lost potential
it's love we define
your body is scorned,
your punish is divine.
And longing is present
where objects are seen,
in the wound of everything,
in pain and remorse.
Your pleasure consumes me
and it cuts through my fear,
the river is shifting,
the water runs clear.
And when I lay dying
upon this floor,
I'll wait for the sound
as you open the door.
