5. Cold Ways

I can't do what you do
I'm just able to tear it down yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether

Twisting names inside of me
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun

In your eyes
You're alive
But in my eyes
You're a lie

You can't do what i do
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether

In my eyes
You're the lie

6. Gone

A dead start in my head
And the day's been laid
The things i really want
Always torn from my heart
You never saw the way
How i wanted you to stay
And now you're gone
I'm on my own

When i was thinking this
Was something permanent
You were already thinking
Of going away

7. Last Resort

And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue

A relief for a dislocated mind
Shelter for thoughts
Asylum for my soul
This place is the only I need to know

And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue

Salvation for a lonely sinking kind
All my duties be done
A few years of take
Never leaving again you're forever

And here the air that I breathe isn't dead
Enter life of what's still here
Close the door away from near
Shrouded in autumn's graven ascension
Thought the bridge was over now
Lost the track astray somehow
Who's painting my life in sorrow blue

8. Nerve

High white ways
Shattered by rain
Pale dead walls
Nerves pushed in pain
Red light faced
Mirrors of the dead
People in the archways
Eyes full of lead

Always closing down myself
Lower sights and never see
Worlds of noise and worlds of light
Expecting not to be
Not close enough for you
To hear a breath or steal a sigh
But just close enough for me
To take a step and pass you by

9. Saw You Drown

As through your shattered eyes
It all came together
And your heart cries
Weeping through the weather
Another way to change your mind
I'm weaker than they say
To leave this all behind
The only way to stay

Don't you know
I'm the end of what we'll be
And right below us
The last thing you'll see

In the water
I saw you drown
Down the water
Saw you drown

As through my shattered sight
You're no longer here
And my heart cries
Sleeping through the light
Another way to change my mind
Never is the day
To leave this all behind
The only way to stay

11. Distrust

Running my way towards oblivion
Inside my head electric insomnia
In your mind i'm fed with distrust
Heading for anything better than this

I want to be forgotten
I want you to forgive
How i'm losing all this
It's just the way i live

Running my way towards oblivion
Inside my head smokescreen's gone
Leaving all this to be undone
Heading for anything better than this

Running my way towards oblivion
Outside my head only the dark
In your mind i'm the end of it all
Heading for anything better than this

1. Saw You Drown

as through your shattered eyes
it all came together
and your heart cries
weeping through the weather
another way to change your mind
I'm weaker than they say
to leave this world behind
the only way to stay

don't you know
I'm the end of what we'll be
and right below us
the last thing you'll see

in the water
I saw you drown
down the water
I saw you drown

as through my shattered sight
you're no longer here
and my heart cries
sleeping through the light
another way to change my mind
never is the day
to leave this all behind
the only way to stay

2. Nerve

high white ways
shattered by rain
pale dead walls
nerves pushed in pain
red light faced
mirrors of the dead
people on the archways
eyes full of lead

always closing down myself
lower sights and never see
worlds of noise and worlds of light
expecting not to be
not close enough for you
to hear a breath or steal a sigh
but just close enough for me
to take a step and pass you by

3. Quiet World

four numbers staring back at me
displaying the mediocrity of my presence
i´m wasting my day wtching them change
the sun with it's blue sky outside
shining down on all you happy people
i´m wasting my day waiting for rain
need more methods to end each day
to be happy by living this way
