DARWIN LYRICS

1. I

Reading the same lines over and over.
Repeating movements of the eyes.
The same horizon endless as the sky.
Repeating movements of the eyes.

As I blow in my own sails.
I know another attempt has failed to reach the solid shore and leave the sinking ship behind.

Do I really hate the farewell.
When it's me who has brought the petrol.
Petrol for a burning ship.

I've cut the wood to build the ship, and carved the match to light it.

2. II

For you'd whispered in a willing ear, and cried an eager shoulder.
Knowing what I know now. Hate becomes justified

Camouflage your weary eyes, a glisten in a quiet night.
The reflections of the moon, rolling down your cheek.

Wrapped barbed wire around my heart.
To be sure you'd leave a scar.

If only I could erase what rewinds me.
If only I could erase what reminds me.
If only I could cross out your name.
Cross out the name that rewinds me.

Can a man survive the lack of water?
Can a heart pomp merely dust?
Can a man survive the lack of air?
Can lungs breathe merely dust?

3. III

The beauty made me bitter.
The warmth has made me cold.
The storm has made me silent.
Love has made me hate.

Colours of a grey existence.
Sounds of a silent past, tear me apart.

A silent acceptation of bitterness,
From the shadow where I stand.

An ash-grey sky drenched with many questions.
An unintruded cycle it is it was it will be.

4. IV

Time and time again my head reaches for the kindness of my pillow.
But what's the use of sleeping when there's nothing to wake up for.
Instead of my head, the prints of fists are cast in this pillow.
The last tangible residue of the loss of self control.

While I hate to be affected it's hard to admit it doesn't leave me untouched after all.
In the midst of the essence I flee, sacrifice the true intention to save a fearless moment.

How clear doe you want it?
The compulsive waste of talents, safely tucked away behind excuses.
But who am I to fool myself?
I've wasted more than I deserved.

5. V

With every passing day, a tiny portion died.
Silent and emotionless leaving purely flesh to die.
Silent and emotionless.

But the truth hurts, and the love binds.
So you forget and believe the empty lies.
So beautiful presented on a bed of roses.

Just dried out flowers, mark a grave.
With just one purpose; not to fade.
A grave fading.

But memories now fuelled by hatred inside.
Everything he loved he lost it.
Two halves apart, imperfections.
Two blood trails seperate ways.

6. VI

An autumn storm left eager sentences revolving.
Leaving echoes more than words.

A picture more than colours, or different shades of grey.
Behind the paper hides a memory.

It's not the sky that makes the picture blue.
It's not the wind that made me shiver.

Drops on a window, block a sight on a world.
Sometimes it's better not to see.

He decided he loved but he denied, he failed.

7. VII

The movement of water, a trembling soul, have never expected, but always have known.

A serene lake, ones so lively, but the last wrinkle faded.

But his waves stand like statue, to mark the memory of a man, a loved one.

A heart divided over those who care.
This inheritance not to be forgotten.

8. VIII

There's no question mark, in the reproachful beating of the clock.
Punctually registrating the time I've clearly wasted.

Eyes reveal an eggshell with with a concrete look.
Fragile like Chinese porcelain, still my mand can't break it.

I tried the fists, the pride, the tears, denial.
But all I needed was a simple smile.

The thing I love is what I fear.
Afraid I'd hold, I'd strangle.

The painting merely illustrates the one that broke the wall.

Is no one else but you.

9. IX

What exactly was it that attracted me.
I repeat the name, that matched a face, still can't remember, what it was I fell for.

Swallow twisted wires, to deny the seperation, the feeling, the attempt, the escape.

I gave up, I failed at every point, knowing I'll repeat, makes it even worse.

Read and laugh, come on refuse to understand, my identity, captured in my fingerprints all over you...

10. X

A shiver, a movement, a heartbeat.
Just one moment separates.
Just one moment confronted.

If I'll open my eyes, wil the world still be there?
If I'll try to hide, will there be someone who cares?

To drown me in this pool of perfection makes me willingly excepting a heart of salt.

I wish I'll never wake up.

My golden pear, disappearing steps, the stains of salt, a dying sun.

I wish I'd never woke up.

The smell of sea replaced by a clinic stench.
Cold white walls surround me.
Four white walls surround me.

The dream is over, left an empty room, nothing changed, I'm on my own.
