SOILWORK LYRICS

1. My Nerves, Your Everyday Tool

Where do you go when you've given it all
and your mind declares a collapse
You've turned every page in an infected book
and wasted every good advice

How long
Does it take for you to realize your limitations?
How strong
Will I come off if I tell you to kiss your shield goodbye?

Time is nothing, presence is all
You're here for something, make the call
There is a truth that only you can retrieve
Stop draining yourself
And be the one to ignite

Play the victim one more time
You've unlocked yourself
But won't see the line
Shutting yourself down every time
Bury yourself till the end of time

These words are mine
(There's nobody else who can...)
They will consume you dry
To the core

Last time hereinafter
Last time, I will go alone, I will
Spare the pain, a life disaster
Never live through I distant soul
My nerves, your everyday tool
I won't serve cause I broke no rules
Last time hereinafter
Last time, I will go alone

All I hear is just a silent scream
Of true desperation
Let me break it to you
You won't make it through

Do you see where it's going?
All you left behind
The universe is turning
Every minute last forever
A conspiracy with time
Though I feel I've been learning to strive

[Solo: Coudret]

These words are mine
(There's nobody else who can...)
They will consume you dry

Last time hereinafter
Last time, I will go alone, I will
Spare the pain, a life disaster
Never live through I distant soul
My nerves, your everyday tool
I won't serve cause I broke no rules
Last time hereinafter
Last time, I will go alone

I will never deceive myself

2. These Absent Eyes

Bloodstained velvet, mercury traced
I saw the shadow of death on your face
Your gaze wandered off into the stars
I realized how fragile we are

There was a time when the world was ours
But when you're blessed
You're not counting the hours
I should've known that the end was near
But I was busy ignoring my fears

In search for something
Brighter than the sun
All the things I've earned will be no more

I'm passive aggressive, prepared to attack
I've seen the world but run a constant lack

These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide

Black like silver, baptized by rain
You were a stranger 'til I shared your pain
This love won't been touched by the light
Still it came alive when innocence died
You sensed my yearning, I felt your desire
You made me a saint and I made you a liar
I gave you my weakness,
You gave me your strength
The guild of my longing is all that remains

In search for something
Brighter than the sun
All the things I've earned will be no more

I'm passive aggressive, prepared to attack
I've seen the world but run a constant lack

These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide

Bloodstained velvet, mercury traced
Black like silver, baptized by rain

[Solo: Andersson]

These absent eyes will be disguised
As soon as we'll be strong enough to decide

3. Resisting The Current

Did you come to witness my downfall?
Did you come to see my demise?

Back to where the mothership landed
Back to where the panic arose
Back to all that I once transcended
Back to where the innocence glows

And that door is always open
And that path will always drag me down
Beneath the waves- watch me slip away

All I need is a new heart beating
And I'm ready to die again
All I need is to hear your breathing
And I'm ready to follow you down
All the way
Right to the very end
As I die again

I have tried resisting the current
Dug my feet deep down in the dirt
I have tried to live with the silence
But it cuts much deeper than words

I have tried to find a way to
Make your name unspoken
I have tried to reach the surface
Just before the tide

And that door is always open
And that path will always drag me down
Beneath the waves- watch me slip away

All I need is a new heart beating
And I'm ready to die again
All I need is to hear your breathing
And I'm ready to follow you down
All the way
Right to the very...

[Solo 1: Coudret]
[Solo 2: Andersson]

All I need is a new heart beating
And I'm ready to die again
All I need is to hear your breathing
And I'm ready to follow you down

All I need is a new heart beating
And I'm ready to die again
All I need is to hear your breathing
And I'm ready to follow you down
All the way
Right to the very...

4. When Sound Collides

A fragile existence
Is saving my day
Transcend into dark

A spin of wheel
Headlong to feel
As my body still heals

A sin for a sin
Truth lies deep within
A veil is lifted from my eyes

When sound collides
A kiss will erase your filthy lies
When sound collides
A barrier of a million eyes

Unreal Reflections
Painting my night
Reclaiming the day
A cup to the king
Filled up to the brim

As the freezing cold sets in

A sin for a sin
Truth lies deep within
A veil is lifted from my eyes

When sound collides
A kiss will erase your filthy lies
When sound collides
A barrier of a million eyes

A sin for a sin
Truth lies deep within
A veil is lifted from my eyes

[Solo 1: Andersson]
[Solo 2: Coudret]
[Solo 3: Andersson]

When sound collides
A kiss will erase your filthy lies
When sound collides
A barrier of a million eyes

5. Forever Lost In Vain

Like a flash from a distance I learned to prevail
Over all those dark moments, I set the sails
I learned to believe it, I learned to deny
Which was nothing but running away from the tide

This life has been shattered next to something better
This life has made up with its soul
Next time I will deal with the storm that gathered
All the thoughts that came up on their own

Can someone give me an answer
About the choices I've made?
Cause I can't think anymore
These thoughts are buried forever
Deep down in emotional graves
Forever lost in vain

Turning points are glowing with their absence since there's
No hope of finding my way
What may lurk in the shadows while I'm in here waiting?
Something better than I've already seen?

Can someone give me an answer
About the choices I've made?
Cause I can't think anymore
These thoughts are buried forever
Deep down in emotional graves
Forever lost in vain

So do I truly deserve something better?
(Way better than this)
This weight on my shoulders still matters
(Matters to me)
After all these years through the never
I can feel how it all comes together

[Solo: Andersson]

Can someone give me an answer
About the choices I've made?
Cause I can't think anymore
These thoughts are buried forever
Deep down in emotional graves
Forever lost in vain
