I want to glean our love from everything
That you said to me when we were dying in that dream
I’ll never see you in life, you only exist in these scenes
how haunting they seem to be
Your ghost dances its limbs around me as I act out my part
My hands want to be dead with them
and let the flesh fall off and into the sea
I’ve been having vivid dreams of some ex-lover
who’s voice I can’t recall, who’s love I cannot place
I’ve been crying a lot lately
And it occured to me that I don’t know why
I’m just so fucking sad all the time
I know you wanted me to die
Well, I’m sorry I couldn’t oblige
Just know the feeling was mutual

Bleeding

Now that we’ve met,
Can’t you see that we don’t work?
Why do you think we’ve done this to ourselves?
I have to get out of this apartment soon
I can’t breath the same air as you anymore
The toxicity is killing me
I must leave this place behind me forever
But first, I have to tell you...
I almost spent a lifetime
Bleeding with you
I almost cried my life away
Bleeding with you
There’s only so much that I can take
Bleeding with you
I just couldn’t spend another night
Bleeding with you
I almost cried my life away

With Abandon

I’ve been dead for more years than I can count
And you say there’s no use in living anyhow
I could live centuries away
And you’d still find me
Circling the same drain
I never wanted life
I never wanted time
I only ever want to see your face
Smiling in the light
So happy all the time
And maybe you will learn from my mistakes
You’ve been holding grudges for an age
But I wish that I could see you anyway
My mind was always centuries away
I never saw you
lying there, half-dead on the duvet
You never needed love
You never asked for much
You only needed me to get you through the day
Holding up the light
So happy all the time
But you knew I could never be that way
Maybe we can change it
Turn sorrow into life
But you’re the one that’s fading
Slowly from my eyes
Maybe we can save it
Take the sorrow out of life
But you’re the one that’s changing
And our love may not last the night

The Long Morrow
04:52

I remember things
It’s more than just void
darkness
unconsciousness
There are images, patterns, things to recollect
It’s not just the long sleep that comes when the fear has left
The cold is felt, the slipping away of feeling is noted and then succumbed to
The mind functions,
But there is a sense of time even so
And I remember things
I remember the way it was in the beginning
But now I think of these things
Now they come to mind
Now in the darkness
In the cold
the solitude
The stillness
The loneliness
Now there comes a feeling of warmth
Where are you now across the void
Through the millions of miles of cold empty space
Through the vastness of a naked desert of sky and stars
I love you

Secrets & Lies

Don’t clean the wound too soon
I like the taste of blood on my skin, it feels real
Don’t leave the room too soon
I like the taste of nights eaten up by your cruel words
Don’t get too close
I cannot feel
I cannot see the love that you give
Even when it touches me
Don’t turn back just yet
I like the feel of you judging eyes digging into me
Don’t leave the room too soon
There’s only so much pain to endure in one night
Don’t look to me
I cannot love
I have no sense of self
When alone in the dark
There is no more life inside
Running for my life
From secrets and lies

Et In Arcadia Ego
04:53

It’s in a light reflected off a picture of our life
Take it away
I don’t want to see what I’ve failed to become
Take it away
I missed your birthday again
How do you know I’m the one you want to love in the end?
Take me to the east coast
So I can be unhappy all over again
Kill me on the west coast
There is not a shred of love in my skin
I missed your birthday again
Can you be sure this is all you’ve ever dreamed of come to an end
Take it away
Take me to the east coast
So I can be unhappy all over again
Kill me on the west coast
There is not a shred of love in my skin
I missed your birthday again
I despise everything I ever was and am
Take it away

A Pale Replica
03:26

We lived for pleasure and pain
A hundred years in our desiccated waste
And we put our dead
Into the earth
And turned them into trees
We carry on and linger in the sun
In love and then not so much
We labor long
Till our turn comes
To be beckoned to the dirt
And we go on
The bloody sun sits high amongst the trees
We cower in our filth and wait for thee
But you’ll never come
And we’ll die alone
And you’ll laugh against the wind
All light dimming into none
The moon, a pale replica of the sun
Shines high amid
Our rotting night
Just laughing into the darkness
As we dance around our dead
It’s laughing

Another Year

It’s no use now, the lengths I’d have to go
Just to tell you why I have to let you go
There’s nothing you have that I could want
Who made you so sad that you can’t love?
With a tongue like that no one could tell you no
I’ve nothing to add, I only wish to go
There’s nowhere to die in peace
So I’ll stay right here
I only want the best for you
I feel so ashamed
It wasn’t your fault, I take all the blame
Another year gone, another year away from you
Without you alive, I’ll do all I can do
Did you feel sad when your father said to you
“Someday you will die?”
But we’re older now
Gets harder finding things to laugh about
And if the twilight takes you
I hope I follow soon

Bleak Moments
08:29

You can run from sorrow but sorrow will find you in the end
There is no tomorrow when all we love is dead
There is more grief in these walls than one can bare
You can take it with you when you leave
Meet me on the old road where our love never died
We can find each other in the pit where our bodies lie
I was holding you in the dreams you took from me
And everything we knew wasn’t even ours to believe
I never wish to taste again the hours we have lost
Endless hours spent talking circles around ourselves
But still we carried on, a waking nightmare, through the fall
Digging through the muck to find nothing, nothing much at all
You can run from sorrow but sorrow will find you
I’ve been dreaming of all the places
That I have ever been, I can’t misplace it
I’ve been screaming for you to face it
There’s so much to lose if you can’t take it
I’ve been dreaming of all the faces
Of everyone I’ve ever loved, I can’t erase it
What was it you said to me
Before you fell into that room
Where all of our hopes have died
I wasn’t listening
Maybe you said, “I love you”
Or maybe you just cried
Whatever it was, I hope you found your peace
Somewhere out there in the night
and maybe you’ll hear me
Screaming your name
