Panic 01:38
They come down like hell’s been waiting. Say your prayers and down the spiral we go. Don’t say now that we weren’t warned. No, they come crashing with a burning impulse. Halos now lying broken. Sorrows, the tears that drown this world. What I love has fallen under, the threat that we’ve all come to fear. I am defeated.

Heavy Rain 02:22
When it rains it pours down. So unforgiving. Just let it all come crashing on me. Your flooding tears they run straight down my hands. There is no stopping now. You’ve got me paralysed. Come, tragedy. Come sing it louder for me. Will it always be like this? The perfect storm. Swirling from your mouth. Sky sirens calling out. Silver needles fall with a temper. There is no going back. I feel the ground start to shift before my feet. To my epiphany. Cold stares dripping from the ceiling. Could have sworn I caved in but it’s beating... this tired heart keeps on beating. We always said this was getting worse. And never did it ever end for us. These arms wrap around to gather in what’s left. I’ve written this final chapter. Words bleeding down the fucking page. I wrote this all about you.

Cry Wolf 01:28
Elude me. Black clouds come and follow me. Because it’s never worth the time. Where the fuck do you hide? Through the dead of winter. Subjected to the half light. There’s only so much that I can do. Two words are all I can give to you. Eyes close as the beat in my chest will slow. Am I cold dead? Am I just waiting to let it go? Snow drifts as I fade away.

11:11 02:14
Your face disappearing. Why do I ever let you in? The hands don’t move anymore. Cold wind keeps on sweeping in. To think that we could sustain forever. We wonder how we are at times. The blue bleeds into the black. And I can’t escape it. The clocks don’t work now. They don’t tell me too much anyway. We knew it had to be like this. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so alone. Just so you know I always suffer thinking that when my lungs collapse I can’t help but know you won’t be here. There’s nothing worse. Just so you know we always suffer. We can’t help but know you won’t be here. And we hope you know that when we suffer, we can’t help but not want you here.

Bury all our sins. Throw away. If you can’t leave, then I won’t stay. Hollow season. My lungs just carry burdens. Seems now you’re all that I breathe. Hollow season. Sun down, hearts drown. Weave in and out of me, wrap around my neck so tightly. Suffocating, overtaking. But they just sit and watch. Head up, keep on walking on. Bury all our sins. Throw away. If you can’t leave, then it will tear this place apart. Blue devil on my shoulder. Keep saying it’s spreading over. Hollow season. Know now, we’re sifting ashes. The violet grows but time heals nothing. My lungs just carry burdens. Some never, get away. Hollow season. Dusk approaches. We’re on our way out. So now they follow. Round again. The vultures know too well.

Surfacing 03:08
We know how events evolve. Look at how this place reminds us. Needless to say, so I bury it. Myself in it. But they always find a way back up. There are some things that I keep inside. So you don’t ever have to see. That when the days drain of colour and sleeping gets harder, I still see you smiling back at me. Swallowing knife by knife. Each one getting sharper. The taste more familiar. The sun starts to sink as I feel deep below. Each breath I inhale is the burden I bear. With every passing beat, the seconds count and doubt the longer I am here. We know how events evolve. Endless circles biting harder at every turn. This is the only constant that I know. How further before the claws will take us?

Ultimatum 04:23
Crisis in the winter twilight. Another coarse red petal dies. Cold winds sweeping over the pavement. To steal away sweet innocence. If we could retrace our footsteps, then we wouldn’t have to hold our breath. Saying over ‘I’m with you until the end’. With my eyes wide open. I can see this landscape melting away. Hearts tied hanging from above us. The dying cries that no one hears. Past voices getting louder. Something I can’t compete with. Like spiders crawling in, deeper within my mind. Look at all the faces staring across the floor. Is this not enough (for us)? One by one they follow. Crisis in the winter twilight. Another coarse red petal dies. Cold winds sweeping over the pavement. Time stands still thinking about you. Even when we’re getting older, do we feel the earth still turn? Sad songs and heavy crosses. All alone and we’re counting down just hours till we hollow ourselves out. So we roam under the streetlights. Path unknown (all alone). Each name that we’ve ever come to known. This life that I’ve been searching far and wide. To find the heart of chrome through the sands of time. I’ll keep this promise. I’ll keep this promise so you’ll know where to find me.
