LILITU LYRICS

1. Only The End Of The World Again

I feel the needle. It breaks the skin
It's the end of all
I feel the walls, they are closing in
It's the end of all

Everything just falls apart
Feels like the end

I've been in this same place before
Seems so familiar
It's the end of all
Lying face down. I'm on the floor
The morning after
It's the end of all

Everything just falls apart
Feels like the end

2. Even The Vultures Have Moved On

What did you think you would find?
Buried in the dark of the night
Holding you close, wasI blind & naive
Was it that obvious?
Nurture the need to conceal
We are going to lose it all.
Given the chance to prevail, to rise up
But you've crawled into my heart

Given the time & the space
We could escape the enemy
But there's a sense that all hope is gone
On this desolate landscape
The scavengers scale for prety
You offer no reply

Someday you will find your way through time
Someday you will follow secure in something more

Sickly sweet, sinful greed
The leeches stake their claim.
You offer a kiss & a sigh
Go ahead make your bed here of sand & stone
Plant your feet in the soil
Let the fertile seed sink in
The carrion doves, they command us
Beyond the dark horizon

Among the wastelands
Amid the land of broken hearts
It's just the a mound of flesh & bones
That's all we are
The cast of many faces, exalt the process
Now it's done
Even the vultures have moved on

3. Dolores Lesion

There's a bruised & broken sky. It's pressed up against us
But odds are there's a heaven burning down below.
The words rise from the north and float there on the wind
Like a soft & subtle whisper
Immortal like a wondrous feeling, so profound...

Leaving the cathedral, angels open the gates.
Reminders for the congregation like judgement day
Attend the keeping of all our glory
The scars cut so deep.
Peering through our souls we've lost our way home...
Stripped of our dignity

Promises mean everything
In a world so cold. Never to be redeemed
Will you suffer?

her lachrymal squander in the distance
For lusts that she waits for so scorn
An image so pale & so pure, yet so beautiful
Her face is plastered on the walls
and it seems so indelible
So unfathomable that we're both lost here

To commence the call & endure the struggle
What a stronghold to face
A command to fall, a condemned prayer
Have you fallen from grace?

Promises mean everything
In a world so cold. Never to be redeemed
Will you suffer?

Redeemer

4. Ether

5. Follow Through

Every time you walk away, every single word you say
It just lingers there in front of me
Every time I hear your voice, it's though I haven't got a choice
...and it's so hard to believe in anything

Run forever, run away in spite of all the pain
I doubt myself and I've given up
On almost everything

Cry out for more when you want to close the door
Waste away. Follow through I hear you say

Every time you confront me, I'm the one who feels nothing.
...and I hate myself for what I have become
You gave me a second chance, but I threw it all away
...and everything means nothing to me now

Run forever, run away in spite of all the pain
Feed the failure, ever after
Tied to everything

Would you reach out for me?
It's just an empty space
Am I the one to blame?
Living for your sake
The moon it pulls the tides
And the day breaks down
Within the starlit sky leave it all behind

6. Desolation Breeds

Striking body, soul & mind w/ everything I've seen
Seems so out of reach adapted to time
To it's place, to it's host, to restore some hope
The distractions, so stale, so futile

Silence tries to hide the emptiness inside.
Deluding what you feel, what you thought was real
Silence tries to hide the plan that you contrive
The Nothingness you fear now consumes you

Desolation breeds the bitter man you are
It's all in vain, the therapy
The conscious mind seems so powerless
The evidence is so unrelenting

How is it that you sleep?
A subversive release
The secrets you keep...they all define:
A bias, an agenda, the people you hurt
Letting go of the solitude & denial

Descending down an unmarked path
Oblivion, the divine plan
Assume the role of someone else
Delay until the hours pass
Letting go, you can't hold on
A struggle to find something more
Enarmored by the shadow of one's self
Solace and damnation

7. Dark Haired Girl

We made it through September
w/ lust & dying embers
Tell me is that all we were
Now look at what we've done
Look at what we've become
What three words will do

...and you said
I won't be there when you fall
I won't be there when you break down

Dark Haired Girl
where did you go?
you live in a broken world
...and we stand alone
But darling who knew
That when we were created
We'd be suffocated
By such despair & loneliness
Still, we stand as a witness
And die iby the sickness
That this thing called love induces

Dark Haired Girl
Where did you go?
In this broken world
You left me alone

8. Fragments Of My Reflection

If I could be someone, I'd play the fool
W/ broken glass & shattered dreams
To gather up my memories of you
Failure sets in these wounds
....and I'm torn apart inside this time
What's real draws to a close
A reflection of all I've done wrong

I'm not the man I used to be
I need grief & misery to set me free
Half of me is dead and gone

Of all I've ever tried to be
Reveals what I don't want to see
Fragments are all I have to document this life
(Picking up the pieces)

Look away not to face the guilt & the shame
...that weighs me down

I'm haunted by what resides inside
Or what hides behind my soul
Striving to find the core
The face appears in the mirror
The flaws & all the signs of age
Fragmented scenes from a memory
Struggling to find my own identity

Look away not to face the guilt & the shame
...that weighs me down
