You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
You'll never be alone
We've always been right here

Monolith
08:40
|

O, Brother of the Tombstones, I come to humbly plead my faith
Seek refuge for these fragile bones inside your cold, indifferent embrace
See, there's nowhere left for me to shelter in, as this blizzard rages away
And, I know, to you, I'm lesser than a snowflake, but I'm not ready to melt today
I'm trying to see a mirror in your metamorphic face, (metamorphic, metamorphic, metamorphic face)
escape the sea of broken skulls, their screaming jaws agape, agape (screaming jaws a-screaming jaws agape)
Will I return to your loving arms, as my body crumbles and decays?
Or is it destiny to drown beneath your deathly ashblack lakes?
And as your shape looms in the night
Countless snowflakes flutter and die
Monolith, you're but a child
With a fatal outstretched tongue
In your suffocating white
The precipice drifts out of sight
O, there was only me,
Falling endlessly,
Into your arms,
Into your arms,
Into your arms.
Into your arms
Your arms.

59 Below

"Come on, stay by the fire for me,
it's pitch-black night and I can't see
more than a foot or two in front of me.
Come on, it's fifty-nine below,
you've got a furry winter coat,
and I'm freezing solid under this Scotch pine tree.
Cause every time I light a match,
the soaking birchbark just won't catch,
and I'm running out!
I'm running out.
You can see in the dark, you can sense the
autoamputation isn't far,
and you're running out?
You're running out on me?"
"I'm watching from afar, my friend,
you knocked the snow ajar, again,
you doused yourself, and you're so far away from home...
See, I'm guilty, but if I get closer,
you would tear my belly open!
Use my last heartbeats, just to make your hands warm.
I can see the frostbite taking hold,
and I know you wanted a heart of gold,
time is running out.
It's running out...
So much desperation's in your eyes, but
all of us are killers inside,
so I'm running out-
I'm running out?
...I'm running out on you."

Death Upon Impact
03:45
|

I’m sinking into my shadow
Secluding, no one will hear a sound
I’m clutching for jagged handholds
Unslowing before I hit the ground
Vision briefly clearing, there’s a storm below, a storm below
Into the mist; I’m swallowed
A shattered meteor of icicles
Swiftly burning up
I’m sinking into my shadow (I’m sinking in)
Secluding, no one will hear a sound
I’m clutching for jagged handholds (jagged handholds)
Unslowing before I hit the ground
I’ve sunken into my shadow
Secluded, nobody heard a sound
I thrust my hands out to stop me
Unslowing before I hit the ground

The Skull's Mouth
03:17
|
|||
We exist in the mouth of a great skull
She's everywhere at once
We cower in awe when she crushes her jaws
To tear the flesh of our breath from our lungs
Oh, and I feel her hunger for me
The forest ablaze would devour the seed
Oh, and I feel her starving for you
And I plead but I fear you're next in her queue
We live in the mouth of a great skull, and it's painful to speak of death
But there's nowhere to hide, when her jaws finally grind, will our eyes be closed or open?

Cave Song
15:30
|

Come closer to my side
I don't trust my soul to save itself
Searing knelling in my ear canals
But I've chained you in my pull
We stumble, choking, as we climb
We're inhaling fumes of the crimson sky
I guide you, feverish up the mountainside
I know, I tried, but tonight I just don't feel merciful
Eventually we come to find
A narrow cave to be my catalyst
Claustrophobic as the lives we've lived
Don't you know it's all your fault
I whisper in your breaking mind
Frankly, I am fucking terrified
Trembling, hand in hand, we step inside
But I know I'm right
And you still believe I would do anything for you
I wonder how you'll look
When you're blood and bone
When you're nothing but the cage you've lived in
Will you understand the way I've always cared for you?
As your skull is crushed beneath our collapsing cave
I know, I know you're small like me
Two little droplets in our sea
You'll forgive me
Trapped under a monolith, just trying to break through
And it's partially the truth
But you've always been the hue
Of my resentment
There's nothing left for me, so I'll take everything from you
I wonder how you'll look
When your eyes lose hope
When you've stared into the cave you'll die in
When you've bled enough you'll look into my eyes and know
There's nothing left in you to be saved
Dust and floods and crimson skulls
Through heaving walls
I wish it never came to this at all
I know, you were so desperate to save my soul
But friend, no one ever could protect you from corruption of your own
Oh, my sulphurous fingers
Blackened ashes have spewed from my tongue
Tears are blurring my vision
Seeing a volcano erupt blood
But I've gotta remember
This is only a means to an end
A moment someone understands
So I climb back down, to do it all again
Again, again, again

Find your way, find your way
Straight, left, right, left
Up, up, straight, up, warm
Up, up
Dead end, dead end
Down, down, down, down
Down, down
Rest.

My Jaundiced Room
04:44
|
|||
He gently entered my jaundiced room
A mosaic of soft brown tones
A subtle scent of pine needles
A presence, inevitable
Whispering, to my still-shivering form
Nothing but blood and bone
"I'll always be right here with you
You'll never be alone"
A shattered clock face in his wake
Willpower, primordial
But he withdrew from my room as a tidal wave
As the cruel sun devoured him whole
Teary-eyed, I promise him I'll wait
Lonely in my jaundiced room
Forever, or until he returns
Or until this becomes my tomb
We've always been right here...

And how to manifest all of these feelings, concepts and stories into a snapshot, capturing them before they’re gone. ... more
