about

The opening track, intended to depict the starting despair of the protagonist as he looks back onto the events which have lead him to this state.

A varying soundscape, abundant with irregular harmonies and interesting chordal progressions which are supposed to describe the absolute uncertainty of thought and the absolute omnipotence of emotion.

lyrics

I can't stand the thoughts of all the days I spent
Doing nothing about it,
The years I've spent
Looking through empty souls and empty walls.
I can't stand the melody of melancholy.
I want to rip my skin off
And feed the snakes crawling inside of me.

My blood is spilled for no real purpose.
My mind is filled with pictures I can't erase,
With the feeling of regret
I keep carrying through years of empty souls,
Empty walls.

Every change ruins my will.
Every change keeps me awake.

Struggling to find the words
That will keep our souls closer.

Struggling to find the words
That will keep our souls

That what I search for is something that cannot be found.
I will never find that comfort.
I will never kill my Grief.

Lay down close to me.
Let's make ourselves at home
With dead flowers on our chest.
Dead flowers on our chest...

Lay down close to me.
Let's make ourselves at home
With dead flowers on our chest.
Dead flowers on our chest...
