THE OVERSEER LYRICS

1. Fragile Wings

Be still my weary soul
I can feel you're gone
With every step I take
I lay you down
It's so hard to stand
To see you at the end

Buried deep inside the ground

Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?

A bearer left astray
A drifter thrown in disarray
Here I lay
One more little traveller
Gone like gusts of wind
Just another vapor at end

Fragile wings were broken
Glory think of me
Nightmares have awoken
Can you hear the screams?

Ghosts of who she used to be
I can feel her haunting me
Feel it dancing inside
Feel it take its place

I'm lost until you find me
The pain uprising
Glory, glory mend these broken wings

Be still my weary soul
It's time to let go

Rid me of this torture
Awake me from this dream
Or rid me of my own breath
If you can't mend these wings

Glory think of me

2. Paper Thin Houses

As you sleep walk along my paper thin house
I can hear your footsteps lingering
Then disappear into the void
Will I find you your home to rest, your head

I know you are searching for shelter
A drifter between this earth
An angel who lost all her hope

Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker

As you walk in the dark
I can't see you anymore
Where ever you are
You have disappeared somewhere between here and there

The lonely life of a sleepwalker
Burned with regret
Such pain that wouldn't recede
Let life get the best of me

Will you ever find a place in peace
Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker
One day you will be free
To rest your eyes sleepwalker

You will find a place to rest your head
You will find a place to rest

Someday fly over me
Rest your stride sleepwalker
One day you will be free
To rest your eyes sleepwalker

3. The Structure / The Foundation

She is buried in my heart
And I take her wherever I go
Many questions consuming my head
Please stay and I will carry you to the edge

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

I have no place to run
And I won't let it take you
No I won't
Give me the remedy
Give me something to see
I won't let you go

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

From her fallen body flowers will grow
Rest your tired eyes
From her fallen body flowers will grow

As the structure, the foundation of my heart breaks
I won't let it tear us apart

4. Finer Fiend

All my life the water has come up to my neck
I'm treading deep water
What misery do you have left for me
Hold me steadfast
Let not the flood sweep over me

These wolves and thieves, have got the best of me
From this misery
I won't rest until I satisfy their attraction
I am the finer fiend

All my life I've had a heart of stone
I'm sinking in my dead bone
Revolt
In all that we've become
Revolt
My dead bones

Afraid of what might happen if I let you in
Would it be the end of me
If I let you in what would you discover
This broken heart I can not dispose
Dispose
Let it out

These wolves and thieves have go the best of me
From this misery
I won't rest until I satisfy their attraction
I am the finer fiend
I am

Revolt in all that we've become
Awake my dead bones

5. Deluded

How deluded my act and logic must be
How deluded, was it them or was it me
I have believed that my thoughts were designed to mislead
How deluded
Return to the Father of Lights

6. Scarlet Wool

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run again
So come now wind

Oh lord, I'm on the run
From fears that always seem to bind me
I'm somewhere in between
I'm red, crimson red
I am scarlet stained wool
With no hope of my own

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run again
Come now wind
Catch me like a leaf

Oh, father, I can't keep moving on
I'm at the end of my scars
At the end of it all
Take me
Take me where I need to go
Take me home
Father, oh, father take me home

Come now wind
Sweep me off my feet
Take my breath
Take everything you see

I'm on the run again
Come now wind
Catch me like a leaf

I was dust before the wind
Just a fragment of dirt
Covered in skin
With a restless longing till the end

7. Death March

I am flesh
I am flesh and bone
Afraid to lose control
Memories resurfacing makes it hard to breathe
They will take over me
I am nothing but flesh and bone

Will this be buried
No
Will this be buried
No
Can we forget
Can we forget all the things we have seen
Can we forget

Can I win this war I have bestowed on myself
Oh no I have lost myself again
My Father I've tried
My Father I've lied
Please take me from this
I am nothing but flesh and bone

Will this be buried
No
Will this be buried
No
Can we forget
Can we forget all the tings we have seen
Can we forget

8. The Ferryman, Charon

[Instrumental]

9. Uproot

Dear God I fear my mistakes and snakes I've let bite at my feet
Will take me down into the depths
How did I ever sink this far
As I descend
I have lost all my intent
I have created my own little Hell
A tomb I so badly want out of

Reaching out, helpless, desperate
With my final breath
So come down, come down
My veins are becoming roots in this hollow ground

Everything is dark
Shed the dead skin
Break through the barrier
I am the ugliest of man

Over and over again
Dear God how long will I live like I'm dead
I'm done wasting away
Buried alive
I see hope inside
Inside me

Reaching out, helpless, desperate
With my final breath
So come down, come down
My veins are becoming roots in this hollow ground

Dig me out, dig me out
Uproot my putrid rotting body
Dear God, I am alive
Awake my dead bones
Awake my dead body

10. Give Light To My Eyes

I can feel it hover over my shoulder
As I get older it doesn't go away

I need a way out of this
It never ends
And I don't want to spend my whole life
Scared of what comes when I dissolve

You can see past the darkest of me
There is something inside
Watch as the sky gives light to my eyes
Awaken me, awaken me

Lost in this room I choose to live in
Am I stranded here
I have waited all my life
So I could find you here

Is this the end
Is this the end of me

You can see past the darkest of me
There is something inside
Watch as the sky gives light to my eyes
Awaken me, awaken me

I can feel it
Feel the dawn over my shoulder
Illuminate me
You see past the darkest part of me

11. Depraved

You could take me home and never leave me alone
Break this heart of stone
Then I could dance

Broken, we are all the same
Vices locked inside our frames
Desperate and depraved is all we are

Everyone's loved, but nobody's lovely
Everyone's low, but nobody's lowly
Everyone blames but nobody's blameless
Everyone shames but nobody's shameless
Everyone's used but nobody's useless
