Cold and silent
The night draws close
The lights get dim
And your breathing slows
Colours swirl
The amber and reds
Move out of the depths
Draw in the scent
That tells you drink the tonic
Carelessly
Whispering to me
His feathers fall
Like smog
Defiantly
here lies the hollow
A place between dreams
The no man's land
Expanding as far as I can see
All is fleeting
As I reach out
They surround my form
Cutting off remaining light
Strain into focus
Gaining insight by finding the form
Like the bleakness that rolls ever forth
My delusional landscape has no end
Majestic blues and golds
Blurs and distorts the horizon ahead
Claiming the night
By stealing composure
Pre-Chorus:
I feel the ground
Through my knees
Screaming depthlessly
here lies the hollow
A place between dreams
The no man's land
Expanding as far as I can see
All is fleeting
As I reach out
They surround my form
Cutting off remaining light
here lies the hollow
A place between dreams
The no man's land
Expanding as far as I can see
All is fleeting
As I reach out
They surround my form
Cutting off

I feel the sorrow creeping in
Constant motions break up the signal for a while
This cowardice halts my soul and chains me to this state
hesitations come home
and that’s why I can’t sleep at night
Immobilized
By the weight of progress
It smothers my dreams
Opportunity is moving out of view
Softly, deftly it seeps in my mind, this sensation of drowning
I wonder if I’ll be like this forever
there’s a kingdom of sunshine in sight but the climb feels too steep
I can’t heal these wounds they’re far too deep
Immobilized
By the weight of progress
Life’s getting blurred
The path’s unclear
I’m terrified
Of getting left behind
It smothers my dreams
Opportunity is moving
Out of view

Oh god help me!
the trap has locked and I can't break free
I can feel the life
Draining from me
she's hooked our claws in
and this is all that's left of me
an empty shell
A broken man caught in the struggle
Pre-chorus:
she kicks me down as she puts on make up
I don't understand how I could of fucked this up
She's got her fingers
in all of my strings
Owning every move that I make
She is the anchor
That's dragging me deeper into the void
I'm not going alive!
I can't remember
how it feels in the light
might as well build this coffin
and nail it shut
She's got her fingers
in all of my strings
Owning every move that I make
She is the anchor
That's dragging me deeper into the void
I'm not going alive!
She's got her fingers
in all of my strings
Owning every move that I make
She is the anchor
That's dragging me deeper into the void
I'm not going alive!

Whether it be
A month, a year or just a day
Not a soul can tell
What awaits
But always
Regardless the ebb and flow
Your face
Is engraved
Time waits for no man
What passes becomes stone
These vines they grow
Around my capsule
These Ripples that I see
Someone show me what it means
Time waits for no man
What passes becomes stone
These notes you left won’t change things
so let them burn away
You smile as the pages burn
There’s beauty in the unknown
mystery may be hard to take
But at least it’s a chance to grow
It’ll change the way we see the light

this sickness has robbed you blind
Of all of your strength, all of your health and your reason
Agony that runs too deep
Forced to wage war with an enemy beneath the skin
So sign your life to the cure
Encumber your body with the pills and the chemo
Weighed down and defeated, you’ve lost the will to fight
Only stubbornness is keeping you alive
Scattered are your thoughts and emotions
Compose yourself and fight your way through
This fog of sickness
Please don’t fade away
Don’t fall
There’s so much more for you to see
From cradle to grave, your presence has been
Constantly infinite
Old soul
Find a way to revitalise and mend yourself
Cuz the hope I see shine in you
I’m not seeing it anymore
I’m not seeing it anymore
I feel together
We could take the weight
But like Atlas
You carry the sky alone
This chasm between us is man made
Hopefully we’ll bridge the gap
Before the night closes in
And we see the sun above us collapse
this internal black hole drags away
All notion of peace and serenity
Inevitably your pain will end
Your soul will fade
Your universe will shatter
And time will leave you behind
Don’t fall
There’s so much more for you to see
From cradle to grave, your presence has been
Constantly infinite
Old soul
Find a way to revitalise and mend yourself
Cuz the hope I see shine in you
It’s fading fast
You’ll be fine
You’ll be alright
I’m not waiting for the day when you will disappear
But how am I to stay vigilant?
When my alter of strength
has eroded before me
And turned to ash
