LYRICS:
Darkest
Thoughts
I'm sorry I have to tell you
But things here are not the same
And even though we still believe you
I, we, you, are victims of this change
We wanted to spare the expense
And the consequence
You've become holes in the memory
Cracks in the hourglass, draining our days
When I think about breathing
I forget how to breathe
I wake up on the floor and
I think about leaving
When I think about you
It is all that I need
I forget about breathing
And I start to breathe
You've become
A part of our darkest thoughts
Cut from the morning
Fall to the earth
Our highest hopes
Brought to a rest
Brought to an end
Brought to this
Opal
Panic fills my glass
To overflow at last
Drowning faint ideas
Until the shock can pass
I am tracing the bluest vein
Through a curve in her skin
Spreading like wings
Through a curve in her skin
I watch through the reddest eyes
Even in the rise and fall of here sigh
Through a curve in her skin
I've seen pictures of you
That make me pause
Even though you've aged
I still feel lost
Foreign
Maybe it ends today
These unraveling words
A pause and a moment
We are foreign
I am lost in the thought
I am tired of the game
Is that all that remains of
Have I become a slave of
Every dream that I bought
That you promised to sell
Is that all that remains of
The binding and chains of
Maybe it ends today
These unraveling words
I find my courage and
We are foreign
Divided again
Turning a corner
A moment and then
We are foreign
I am lost in the thought
I am tired of the game
Is that all that remains of
Have I become a slave of
Every dream that I bought
That you promised to sell
Is that all that remains of
The binding and chains of
I know you don't remember me
Or what it was we used to have
And if you do, its not the same
We are not the same
I know you can't conceive
of what it was we almost had
and if you can, its not the same
we are not the same
Temple
Make me believe again
I've built a life out of sacrifice
And its a temple to waste
A place where I hide
The fractions of daylight
I thought would survive
Tell me the truth again
I have nothing to say and I
Want to be whole again
After this life built of second sight
Its falling like rain
These thorns in my side
Are all I can feel
when our seconds collide
Make me believe again
because I can't see the sky and I
Want to be whole again
Because I don't think our afterlife
Is something I need
A night without sleep
Is all I remember
Is all I can keep
Vale
You should be here with me
Under this starless sky
We built in secrecy
We built to fail
all of this faith that I've
locked up inside of you
waiting in secrecy
tearing this vale
On days when I'm
Needing you
In words that I'm
Sifting through
Your confession, your sudden truths
Why must they follow in the wake of
A teardrops bloom
Your depression is more than proof
That all my days have gone into
A life consumed
You should be here with me
Counting the precious few
Watching the colors change
Seeing the moment through
Let me see the evidence of youth
You haven't lost to the world of
Love's abuse
Your depression is more than proof
That all my days have gone into
A life consumed
Day, life
Lapse
Somewhere a light
Goes out on two lives
Rain starts to fall
Almost on cue
Seconds will pass
That could have been ours
Fall on this shore
Where we should be
Listening to the voice in my head
Where we should be
Cursing the clouds instead
Why are we left
Sifting through ashes
A permanent lapse
Is all that we'll ever find
Somewhere a sun
Sets on two live
Forever ends
Like and ordinary day
Somewhere a door
Closes on two lives
Silence is all-
Almost on cue
A permanent lapse
Is more than we'll ever know
The Difference
I hang up the phone
Like the death of a dream
Your voice still sounding in my ears
I think of you
And the voice has a face, and two arms, two lips
And I wish that the conversation won't stop
The difference between us has grown every day
Once we were flawless, once we were one
The distance between us has taken you away
The difference between us
The receiver clicks
But the dialogue in my head grows think
From the alcohol or you or both
I'm breaking down now I am broken
The difference between us has grown every day
Once we were flawless, once we were one
The distance between us has taken you away
The difference between us
We never stop to breath
We need to hesitate
We need to keep from waking up
Affliction
I am watching you
With undeniable admiration
I hear every word
Of your language
In some ways unfamiliar
The translation is sometimes
Blurred
That's not the only problem
And solutions are too few
Am I supposed to believe
You're unsatisfied
And you think that the
Technology is lacking
And that happiness is
Somewhere outside your
Person
You're unsatisfied
And you think that this affliction
Is the reason your so uncertain
You want me to help you
When there's nothing I can do
You ask me to help you
When the only answers I know
Are untrue
Sequel
Put that glass to your lips
Drink me down
Am I burning your throat
Are you wondering
Where are we going
Where will you take me
You and your empty smile
Gaze ever upward
Sister of desire
Guiding our course
But is there a sequel
Where are we going
Where will you take me
You've caught and you hold me
With more than a smile
Less than a thought
But is there a sequel
With that glass to your lips
Drink me down
Am I burning your throat
Are you wondering
is there a sequel
guiding our course
Where are we going
Where will you take me
Far From My Heart (Keldsen)
Maybe I've found you
Or just the dreams we knew
of the feelings
The grasping at hope
Maybe I'm touching you
Or just the ghost I knew
Of the love
The smoke though my fingers
I sleep, I dream
Your letters in my mind
Speak of a peace that I never find
I sleep, I dream
Of words I should have said
A past life that I could have lead
All I can give you
All I hold dear
Its twisted words and twisted lies
For there beneath
There is where our love lies
To think that I
Deserve to fell again
To touch again
I ask for more than you can give again
I sleep, I dream
Your letters in my mind
Speak of a peace that I never find
I sleep, I dream
Of words I should have said
A past life that I could have lead
All I can give you
All I hold dear
Its twisted words and twisted lies
For there beneath
There is where our love lies
Far from my heart
You are close to my soul
We are strange and familiar
We are sweet in our slumber
Beginning to Unwind
Hear the soul
We cut in two
Speak in a tongue
Obscured by the beat
Of the blood is a slave
To the whip of your heart
Weaving a doubt
Dreams of a start
Hear the soul
It sounded like two
Eclipsed by a need
Possessed by the youth
Is a cell that keeps you alive
Born by the blood
Confusing your mind
Faint and unkind
Counting dreams till we're
Out of time
Here's the soul
We broke in two
Years to build, seconds to undo
Drowned in a sea
Or the eyes of a sun
Faint and unkind
Beginning to unwind
Hear the soul
We broke in two
Years to build, seconds two undo
Here's my soul
Forgetful of you
Lips to a wound
Ears on a pulse
All words and music
N. Nicoll.
