Only Void

I am the dirt
You are a seed
Feeding the worms
Love is a weed
An eye in the mud
A stone in the rain
Feeding the worms
When thoughts are mundane
Cry out loud, you are my only void
You are the flight
I am a crow
Eating the worms
Swallowing slow
My fingers are lent
Your tongues in my mouth
Eating the worms
Then spitting them out
Cry out loud, you are my only void
Cry out loud, you are my only void
Despair is that which hides, with violence in your mind
A black hole, omniscient foe, devouring everything
My only void
I am the place
You´re no one goes
Killing the worms
That lie at our toes
An heir to the throws
Disarmed reaching space
Killing the worms
That look on your face
Cry out loud, you are my only void
Cry out loud, you are my only void
Despair is that which hides, with violence in your mind
A black hole, omniscient foe, devouring everything
My only void

Scandinavian Bound

I trust in that you're able with the carving knife
Set a two day song through four borders been left behind
A strand of hair is no illusion of control
To be holding on
The embers dull so quickly, it's soon to dark
With no where left to go, you did get far
A dying trail of ashes Scandinavian bound
Brings dusk across this land
And I don't know
Just what, you're reaching for
The miles burn slow
On your ruins
Will show me round inside, the salt has come through
Will you take the carving knife, to the forest round you
From the seconds down to every etching heartbeat
That you've inscribed, show me inside
Tonight
Before my eyes the distance would come to pass
The placement of your right hand upon my heart
When sentiments lie further down there is no need
Of reinforcement here
And I don't know
Just what, you're reaching for
The miles burn slow
On your ruins
Will show me round inside, the salt has come through
Will you take the carving knife, to the forest round you
From the seconds down to every etching heartbeat
That you've inscribed, show me inside
As you've inscribed, show me inside
Tonight
And I don't know
Just what it is you're reaching for
The miles burn slow
On your runes
Will show me round inside, the salt has come through
Will you take the carving knife, to the forest round you
From the seconds down to every etching heartbeat
That you've inscribed, show me inside
As you've inscribed, show me inside
Nu förstår jag
Det finns nånting kvar
Dess stillhet ska stå
När ingenting verkar klart
From the seconds down to every etching heartbeat
That you've inscribed, show me inside
Tonight

Normal Indifference

One way come in
You slip through the bedroom window
What´s on the other side
Give way to assume, is it beast or human
A kitchen table
With nothing but jam
When outside the trees are blowing
At least there´s wind
Your painting on the wall
Always seems to move
Your warm coffee mug
That´s been in use
Run way come in
You look through the dirty window
With you on the other side
Reaching out to bring me over the line
Your painting on the wall
Always seems to move
Your warm coffee mug, and lungs
Have been in use
I´m not sold
I´m not sorry at all
I´m not cold
I´m not indifferent to all
We´re not sold
We´re not sorry at all
We´re not cold
We´re not indifferent to all
Your painting on the wall
Always seems to move
Your warm coffee mug, and lungs
Have been in use
I´m not sold
I´m not sorry at all
I´m not cold
I´m not indifferent to all
We´re not sold
We´re not sorry at all
We´re not cold
We´re not indifferent to all
One way come in
You slip through the bedroom window
With what´s on the other side

Lilja Forever

My only hope for something to believe in
Is you and I
Through the ages we're drying ink on pages
It's still you and I just you and I
In shoes have your feet been glued
To defy you and bind you
To the cuts in your palm
Where your skins been torn
Lost blood lost warmth
Stitch back your highest hour
So easily undone the thread
Nowhere to run nothing to be
You're one left inside you're only
My only hope for something to believe in
Is you and I
Through the ages we're drying ink on pages
It's still you and I just you and I
Pitch black your darkest hour
Not easily undone you've bled
Your face is young nothing or no one's
Going to tell you it's ok
My only hope for something to believe in
Is you and I
Through the ages we're drying ink on pages
It's still you and I just you and I
Around in circles when all our dreams have fallen
They lie together in the cold hard earth
The ice has melted and you I've encountered
It's still you and I just you and I
Will you say it's over
And I want for those to burn
To say it's hopeless
When it's all we've had to hold on to
Will you say it's over
And i know the pain hurts
To say it's hopeless
When it's all we've got to lose
My only hope for something to believe in
Is you and I
Through the ages we're drying ink on pages
It's still you and I just you and I
Around in circles when all our dreams have fallen
They lie together in the cold hard earth
The ice has melted and you I've encountered it's still you
My only hope for is you and I
My only hope for is you and I
Just you and I

Borscht Vodka Tears
02:56
|

|
Russian soup vodka and tears
With my last forty crowns i´ll drink my food for the week
The fake stamp on my hand still near i drew the night before
When things went off
And since then i´ll never look back
When i look in the mirror there´s a look that i lack
The colour lost the shadow replaced is smeared is now leaving a trace
Of blue streaks
Before you know
The day is over
Before you know
The day is gone
Another week´s drawn tonight we will fest
I was running up stairs when i sent you that text
The emptiness can´t be disguised nor hide by the digits we press
If only i knew
I wake up again and see it stuck to the fridge
An expression that´s glad a saying that´s grim
Like a morbid joke greeting the morning a hurt bed
With a girl in my head, who i don´t know
Before you know
The day is over
Before you know
The day is gone
Gone

Fox and Owl
04:27
|
|||
|
Drown the flame turn out the fire
The Fox is pale the Owl is tired
All that's left of you not banished from the sun
Beneath the earth where work is done
Down the glade your face is on
The plains were vast the lights have gone, away from now
All that's left to do when all the lines are drawn
The gathered clouds from dusk they form
Draw defiance from the mine
Then we'll count to ninety nine they hide
Right Beside You, Right Beside You
And over set the tone
Right Beside You, Right Beside You
The lie has died to leave a hole
Insisting minutes fail and hours fall, decayed from you
In this kind of place where your lesser hides
Please bring me up don't leave me here behind
I'm calling for you now
Draw defiance from the mine
It's all we've set the tone
Then we'll count to ninety nine they hide
Right Beside You, Right Beside You
And over set the tone
Right Beside You, Right Beside You
Draw defiance from the mine
Then we'll count to ninety nine
Draw defiance from the mine
This night the dead have set the tone
Then we've counted ninety nine they hide
Right Beside You, Right Beside You
And over set the tone
Right Beside You, Right Beside You

Rivers Bed
05:20
|

|
Our screens are lost to weather, providing winds have their way
On tombs moss of pillow loss, under willows sway my head will lay and rest
Where branches fall a ladder hangs, through fire which the severed lead
The walls face with writing state, by the banks of the rivers bed
A tower tells once forests felled, over barren lands for whom it tolls
Crept silence filled my heather quilt, in the cover of the midnight cult
The wolves cried when grandeur died, the world shades an eye of grey
And each birds song sound laments gone, with the turn comes another days demise
While it flows right by
Our lives past yearning stones they ride
The asphalt grates the corners wait, leagues of shadows follow close behind
Up from the deep returned in sleep, in your ocean there´s no place to hide
Your breath will rise in levels, from harvest comes the day of leaves
Through your licked ears young serpents cleared, innocent your name the Eastern breeze will blow
While it flows right by
Our lives past yearning stones they ride
While it flows right by
We ride past yearning stones our lives
Our seams are sewn together, when kinder things have their way
While hands will stitch the fog will lift, reveals to you another day to live
At dawn we crawl a sparrow lands, no sand have the hours spared
All with pass through pain of glass, by the banks of the rivers bed
