1.Undertow
Something's changing I feel I see Tearing me to dust Stillborn laughter My master is here
How do I know? Undertow tells me so Down I go
Hard-eyed mirrors I look I see Longing to be air Long time missing, but waiting around
How do I know? Undertow tells me so
I'm lethal So stay forever under arms When only fear holds you together You'll come dancing Leave them all
Starving proudly I sleep I win Gone with the wind Fairyland waiting If I'm small enough, I'll go in
How do I know? Undertow tells me so
2.Under another moon
The mist has covered my eyes And whispers of sleep in my ear The past has been swept off my hands But I still remember your name
So lull me to sleep in your arms Bestow your sweet kisses upon me 'Cause this love is all that I have And I'll never long for more
Not going home
Time floats and the worlds pass me by The air is thick and the moon has gone blind Mind set adrift and my feet touch no ground Banned from the dreamlands, I left all behind All is lost, it can't be found So weak here, I remember you I can never find my way back home
Not going home
3. He who longed for the stars
He who longed for the stars They would soothe him In this painful world, no one is spared He who longed for the stars Their icy silence Frozen eyes, just frozen, ice in his words
Come down
Where's the reason? Who's to blame? Well, my darling love, you left just as unnoticed as you came
4. These mortal sins
Oh, it's really alluring These mortal sins of the flesh I never toy with amusement And I have no time for repent
Down over my head Silence, nothing unpleasant has been said
Define me and touch me and kiss me Pretend I am your puppet on a string Pretend I am yours and fully tamed now What joy lies in these smallest, lawless sins
Down over my head Silence, nothing unpleasant has been said
Under this coating of caring Awaits the manipulating self I never thought you could fool me And my tears are already spent
5. The grinding silence
.....and when the ocean washed me up onto you shore, was I then saved? Oh, loveable liar You whispered tales to me at night, but how come you never gave them voice?
Staring into enticing darkness, you chose to close your eyes I could never have predicted this loss of self and time
And I am crushed against your stone (Under the silence, the grinding silence)
.....and yes, time will float by, but never will it heal a single wound You cannot remake this You grind me to dust with your pain Now, will you let me have mine?
And you, still standing there, swept in your moth-eaten pride: I never wanted this to be I never wanted this
And I am crushed against your stone (Under the silence, the grinding silence)
6. Loss
No one to trust or depend on no more Nothing is left of what I found before Tears of blood as I bury your name Easier to deal with anger and shame
Cut the pleasure to the core Am I scared or are you bored Silently drifting, or on your shore Why is it and who can tell for sure
Mouth made of sand and my heart made of stone Nothing to say and the hands left alone What did I do, did I hurt you sweet soul All that I wanted was warmth, now it's cold
Like forever, the rain keeps falling Down Like forever, it hurts
Cut the pleasure to the core My loss
7. Remnants
Heaven knows I've not been good to you Heaven knows I've not been true to you Wasn't nice to cut you up Wasn't nice to make you bleed
So much time and so much love So much time and so much love
I'm on to your tricks I'm on to you Darling
So much time and nothing's left So much love and nothing\'s left Wasn't nice to cut me up Wasn't nice to make me bleed like this
8. Misty sleep
See these bleeding hands that you left to dry Your garden is stolen, your flowers died Bow to your own deeds, bow down in shame May the woods have mercy on your soul
Let the water flow again Vapour rises in my eyes Shedding my tears on the water And watching them float into the fog
I sleep again Come the shadows, drown the whispers I dream away Know tomorrow, let the night fall
And the shame is mine alone Crawling into the deepest hole Curling up around the core with closed eyes and clenched fists And sinking down into my mindless rest
I sleep again Come the shadows, drown the whispers I dream away Know tomorrow, let the night fall
Some say there's a shining path to follow when dark days come But who needs that path when they're already here And your candle is drowning in the rain
When the night falls Misty sleep For the sad ones Misty sleep
They walk alone
9. Convertion
When your hands speak, my body converted to ears When you grasp for air, all my words undone
This is it
When your longing grows, I shall encircle you Where the nights are old Where the morning will not come
Hot breath on naked skin Unconscious, mouth to mouth I rest in confidence
When all time has gone and the mountains turned to dust In the darkest of night, there is peace, my love, for us
