- Beyond The Pines
I came here to curse the shadow in my mind while my stomach rips itself open from the inside.
Ivy creeps up my back, scratching and strangling my brains.
I bury my face in my hands, hoping something will put an end to this all.
My sighs are mute anguished screams of a grieve.
I’ve lost and then trapped.
Are we anything but a constant storm of thoughts and unresolved doubts?
What are we?
- Boundless Lands, Confined Thoughts
I lie wide-eyed on the ground, while I stare at these landscapes that are slowly burning among walls of flames, in a land I never got the chance to know.
I am so far removed from my everything.
All of this might one day not astonish me, all of this might someday lose its scent, dampened, just as everything will fade away.
I feel blessed and proud to be standing exactly where I got to stand, to be feeding my mind with the new keeping it busy, leaving behind the pressure and exhaustion of surviving under the weight of concerns.
I got told I must accept the banality of living, but what’s the price to pay?
I know all I’m running away from is still there, waiting home, at my front door, waiting to wrap its strong limbs around me. That day will come. The sun will stop shining on my face, warming my blood, and my existence will get on clipping my own wings.
- Caronte
You imagined your eyes forever shutting
your breath dying in your lungs way too many times.
You know your consciences will eventually beg
for more time and forgiveness.
Have you found the easiest way out of desperation?
No one will drown in those dark, still waters, without clinging to their own souls, lingering between the reign of the living and the underworld of the dead.
Being human we keep asking ourselves
questions that will never have an answer.
- Final Breath Before The Void
I'm feeling the shivers down your spine and your skin slowly consuming. It's me, it's me here outside, it's me wrenching the thread that binds me to you. And you know this is for you. You know... It will be just like this that you'll show me the worst of you. You won't say "It's not my fault" You won't say "It's not my fault" No! I'll have all your faults and sins in front of me, I'll see your sores cause you'll once again show them to me with neither shame nor pity. These are the words written in blood running through my veins. I must set myself free, cause I'm the one done for. You would deserve to feel the way I do but I can't let you carry on with this game.
But I won't lose control this time. All you caused will pulse to the sound of my heartbeat and I know I'll have my revenge, I won't let this lack turn to hate, I won't feed myself with tormenting thoughts, I won't fill the void you left with regrets.
- Grave Of The Fireflies
Brambles and ruins, this is what remains all for your dirty gain.
A few raise their voices, but they're only pretending they even care.
"The lesser evil for a greater good" you said, and the many,
only guilty of naivety, wonder where they lost their mercy.
No rules count anymore, nor does religion, and you know it,
No rules count anymore, nor does religion, and you know it.
You smothered the howl of your conscience
The few that will survive won't forget the look in the eyes of those who had their whole lives taken away guilty of nothing.
- Novocaine
In the end all that’s left is that scream in your hallway at night,
Hands and shapes, those twisted guts.
It' s all stuck, it's like an invisible scar
It's all stuck somewhere in my mind.
When the storm started out we met in the street, trying to hide the tears welling from our eyes in the rain.We talked about time forever lost and I said we always make sense of things once they’re gone.
Our sense of immortality has turned us into a youth full of regrets.
And I’m talking to the part of you you’ve lost in a forest of worn out habits
- The Deluded Path
Lighting up another cigarette, knowing and swearing to myself this is gonna be the very last one. I’m setting myself free from my prison, what about yours? What about yours? Your soul covered in dirt bleeding thoughts. I wonder how can you still not hate all this disease? Tell me.... And since you once told me we were brothers now my brother be strong, ‘cause I know every mistake you make is filling your lungs and dragging you closer to the end and you’ re giving up Isn’t this enough this time? Why do you keep sinking so low? How can you forget about us? I can’ t accept you wanting to die Devastated, still can’t see I’m not reaching you.
Hopeless cowards know what it’ s right and don’t do it in any case. Hopeless cowards know what it’ s right and don’t do it in any case...my friend.
- The Lingering Agony Of An Exhausted Soul
Staring at my reflection in the mirror I see the years marking my face
That lingering craving for knowing more never leaves me in these days. I’ve dug deep into my past, I often came across my anger
What have you left behind in all this time gone by? What were you expecting from this surrender?Surrender
My intuition is not catching me by surprise as it used to,
I’ve got no one to save
I’ve thrown my self esteem in a pitch dark lost place
My sanity to vile people
My heart I lost, shivering in the coldest winter night.
- The Weaknesses Of A Coward
time seems to have stopped and demons in far corners of my mind come back and haunt me, when nowhere and nothing seems to be safe and impulses are lying dead I realise attempt is vain.
Life is a waterfall that sweeps you away, no matter how hard you try to cling onto what you know, and I demand myself to withstand and fight back
Show me your false concerned faces and tell me you really hope things will get better and then get back to what you know best.
Play rough as you always did, pretending to feel pity for us and keep running us down
We cannot know what thoughts we will weave but be sure that sooner or later who that wants us dead will be crushed
Shame on you
- We' re Not Allowed To Think Of Us
We both know what we are hiding, cause I can't reach your lips when I'm looking for answers. It's not time to lie to ourselves,pretending not to understand
This emptiness was the choice you didn't want to make,for you've looked at these waves and you've been too scared to dive into the waters.
It was too dark to make you feel like that one was the right path to follow.
Now I would only hope this sea could calm down and that tides could bring us back what we' ve lost in all this time gone by, The pain must die down,we have to live again.
There's a rope I have to sever,for I will never be able to run away when time will be hanging over us Someday silence will come back again with its brambles in which we're trapped in will stop digging themselves always deeper in our flesh
- What Dreams May Come
Can you remember our cold Sundays?
You used to hope it would snow heavily so that I could stay.
Everytime I left from that train station, I used to tell you I was leaving you a piece of my heart for you to keep
...you used to tell me I always had a bit...
of yours with me.
Now I recall all the places we’ve been to they' re fading away and I realise I never caught their beauty
We knew this would eventually happen one day, and, as you asked me to fight not to lose what we had, I never backed down, I never gave up.
I won’t be waking up in the middle of the night,
