I can’t even reach the pace I have to keep
I keep stumbling over and over
Not just because of speed I must always look
Over my shoulder
The dirt is ingrained
In my hands, face and knees
Making my skin coarser
And still I don’t reach, will never reach
The pace you want me to keep
Hey, wait, I’m so afraid
‘Cause I keep ruining for this place,
for this second place
Hey, wait, this has to end
I can’t keep running for this place
In this two-men race
There’s always someone
Eager to take my place
There is always someone
Who will endure this fate
I cannot Endure this fate
In this two man race
The dirt is ingrained
In my hands, face and knees
Making my skin coarser
And still I don’t reach, will never reach
The pace that you want me to keep
The dirt is ingrained
In my hands, face and knees
Making my skin coarser

Weigh me up,
Feel my skin, feel my structure
Go through the motions
look carefully for fractures
Devote of emotions
Look for any loose thread
I am your perfect disposable choice
for tonight
I was never meant to go the mile
I was only meant to
Only meant to fill the void
Don’t mind me while you push me away
We’re all window shopping
In a flesh and bone display
We came to be
mere body-bags
mere body-bags
always on display
we’re always on display
I’m never in your thoughts
and you will never be in mine
We both traded this for
this courting site
We’re all carry a shard of ice
Stuck deeply through our hearts
I can see you naked
And never look you in the eye
You can see me naked
Yet we never share a night
No time like the present
To fulfill all my needs
I utter a word,
You phrase a sentence
There is nothing worth knowing
Or to remember
Don’t mind me while you push me away
We’re all window shopping
In a flesh and bone display
We came to be
mere body-bags
mere body-bags
always on display
we’re always on display
I can only cover myself
In human flesh
Over and over again
Knock ourselves out
Until we are all numb

Cast a Stone
04:09
|
|
||
|
Judgment is always swift and severe
The angst burning and sincere
For me there is no penance
There is no penance
self -limitation runs deep
And is hereditary
I never earned my keep
Is a cross I crave to carry
I do not blossom
Left to rot
Time and time and time again
I am first in the line to cast a stone
Time and time and time again
The bruises will show at whom the stone is thrown
Over time, the pit gets stronger walls
Over time, I stop to hear your calls
I have no fight in me
To try to stop,
And when you can’t see
I go and start to rot
Masking mud that stains me
Seems to be an arduous task
common sense has failed me
I have questions left to ask
Time and time and time again
I am first in the line to cast a stone
Time and time and time again
The bruises will show at whom the stone is thrown
I do not blossom
I left myself to rot

Vicious

|

I envy you for not being me
I wish I could fall further from the tree
I tend to take more than
I could ever carry
Every day I dig deep
Trying to keep this shit buried
Every time the road gets a bit more steep
I tend to unearth what I just hid
I envy you for not being me
I wish I could fall further from the tree
I tend to take more than
I could ever carry
I prefer every tedious task
From facing you without a mask
I can spin and spin and spin
And always take a wrong turn
I can spin and spin and spin
I can spin and spin and spin
And make you believe that this is real
I can spin and spin
I can spin but I can't win
I can spin
in this vicious circle
Round and round
It never ends
I can spin in this vicious circle
And I know it will never end

Gold From Afar
03:30
|
|
||
|
I am eaten alive
by the chase of perfection
the ambition that burns from within
That will not accept anything
It’s all gold from afar
If you keep your distance, when you keep your distance
The closer you get,
the more it falls apart
The goal is gold from afar
and tin from up close
The journey is mundane
And never worth the cost
And though I cannot get there
And I am not fine here
Weary, tired
I can never get near
I always look at the summit
To the harshest track I do commit
I always look at the summit
I do commit
It’s all gold from afar
If you keep your distance, when you keep your distance
The closer you get,
the more it falls apart
I have the urge to leave,
to set sail and go
I will not suffer this fate anymore
I want to be, finally be
But I’m only becoming, always becoming
Never the final outcome
Always a work in progress
And for all that I’ve done
I feel regret
That I cannot grasp,
Cannot comprehend
That the goal is to be becoming
always becoming
always becoming more

Repent
03:14
|
|

Eyes on your feet
Every step synced to the sounds around
Of constant beating rhythm
As if the flesh was torn from your back
The all-surrounding doubt
The global breath on your neck
Everyone that trudges next to you
Is supposed to chant one thing:
Repent, Repent, Repent, Repent
Penance is bittersweet
Sweet to the Shepherd
And Bitter to the sheep
You’re always Eager
to lend a helping hand
To those mending your whip
Chained to the ground,
Not allowed to look back, or slow down
Used to the sound
Of the preaching crowd
Preaching hate and doubt
The taste of penance
Is so, so sweet
Too bad it’s bitter
To the fucking sheep
Penance is bittersweet
Sweet to the Shepherd
And Bitter to the sheep
You’re always Eager
to lend a helping hand
To those mending your whip

Beside Me
04:32
|
|

Just beneath my skin there is resentment
leaking through the pores drop by drop,
Staining the floor, leaving marks
and barricading doors
I feel marked, disgusted and weak
Facing future that looks bleak
When you sit beside me
there is three of us at least
The devil is always here
Waiting to be unleashed
The rot I gather through exposure
Pumps seamlessly through my veins
it reached my heart
And one day will reach the brain
When you sit beside me
there is three of us at least
The devil is always here
Waiting to be unleashed
It seems hard to reach me
you can’t get close enough to touch
I know there is a flame beneath me
And the floor ain’t much
Let it scorch me, let me burn
Outside and from within
without hope the flame is bound to win
