1. I Break
Sounds of imbalance
Sleeps through the never
The artificial lightsource
Is creeping with flies
And this time i break
I will never make
Another day
Defiant to what's delivered
I will find a way
To sever myself
Exit all today
You can't see this
Did you ever say
I break sever
I will find a way
Visit me when i'm there
The weakness of hope
Is the strength of decline
Remember what's past ways
And what i've become
The joy of not being
Something i need
I'm only weather
But only to me
2. Stalemate
What am i supposed to be
In my life
In your life
In our life
In this life
In shut the door and close my sight
At the end of the day
It's not the way that it used to be
There's no way i'll see
The beginning of things to come
Trapped in the ways of the weak
3. Deadhouse
Somehow better without this
Headlights fuck the city
Somewhere i'm broken
No sensations nevermore
What do you say when you speak
I sense no time
Discouraged television sleep
Not awake until it's dark
Somehow i never leave
This deadhouse
Somehow i don't mind being gone
And if you think you've seen me
I have to prove you
That you're wrong
4. Relention
It's hard to say where i've been
Or am, sleeping in the dark
I don't know where i live
Dirty (splintered) palace walls
I'm returning from something
To something
I'm returning from something
To something
Guess i'm alright
5. Cold Ways
I can't do what you do
I'm just able to tear it down yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether
Twisting names inside of me
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun
In your eyes
You're alive
But in my eyes
You're a lie
You can't do what i do
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether
In my eyes
You're the lie
6. Gone
A dead start in my head
And the day's been laid
The things i really want
Always torn from my heart
You never saw the way
How i wanted you to stay
And now you're gone
I'm on my own
When i was thinking this
Was something permanent
You were already thinking
Of going away
7. Last Resort
And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue
A relief for a dislocated mind
Shelter for thoughts
Asylum for my soul
This place is the only I need to know
And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue
Salvation for a lonely sinking kind
All my duties be done
A few years of take
Never leaving again you're forever
And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue
8. Nerve
High white ways
Shattered by rain
Pale dead walls
Nerves pushed in pain
Red light faced
Mirrors of the dead
People in the archways
Eyes full of lead
Always closing down myself
Lower sights and never see
Worlds of noise and worlds of light
Expecting not to be
Not close enough for you
To hear a breath or steal a sigh
But just close enough for me
To take a step and pass you by
9. Saw You Drown
As through your shattered eyes
It all came together
And your heart cries
Weeping through the weather
Another way to change your mind
I'm weaker than they say
To leave this all behind
The only way to stay
Don't you know
I'm the end of what we'll be
And right below us
The last thing you'll see
In the water
I saw you drown
Down the water
Saw you drown
As through my shattered sight
You're no longer here
And my heart cries
Sleeping through the light
Another way to change my mind
Never is the day
To leave this all behind
The only way to stay
10. Instrumental
11. Distrust
Running my way towards oblivion
Inside my head electric insomnia
In your mind i'm fed with distrust
Heading for anything better than this
I want to be forgotten
I want you to forgive
How i'm losing all this
It's just the way i live
Running my way towards oblivion
Inside my head smokescreen's gone
Leaving all this to be undone
Heading for anything better than this
Running my way towards oblivion
Outside my head only the dark
In your mind i'm the end of it all
Heading for anything better than this
