lyrics

Pulling into myself, without a dream.
Always awake as the pressing sun
Wrestles my being.

Is a grim-faded light
darker than night?
The slow drip of the day
Consumes the motion
Of life.
You can't open yourself,
Too braced to your bones.
The world's become a killer
And it wants you alone.

Trapped at a dead end
As Death claims the winds.
You're gasping for air.
Where you once found desire
You now find despair.

Buried into myself, without a dream.
A hole that I've dug
For my bones and me.

This is how you survive.
You writhe in a silence so deep
The world won't know you're alive.
A sheath of dead skin to take cover
And hide.
Stay quiet!

Pulling into myself, without a dream.
Always awake as the pressing sun
Wrestles my being.
Destroying myself, braced to my bones.
Erasing my body to stay safe and alone.
Eternal return...

Your field of relations,
Deep-rooted in the future of language,
Is suddenly gone.
You can't speak subsequently
With no proof of the dawn.
Trapped in the nowhere
That's hollowed us all.

All that you wonder's
If the threat of today
Has swallowed tomorrow.
Same harrowing world
Hungry for slaughter.
The insatiable grave
Turning us inward and haunted.
And when it's all over,
What can you become?
So tight to the bones,
You may never look up.

Buried into myself, without a dream.
A hole that I've dug
For my bones and me.

This is how you survive.
You writhe in a silence so deep
The world won't know you're alive.
A sheath of dead skin to take cover
And hide.
Stay quiet!

Pulling into myself, without a dream.
Always awake as the pressing sun
Wrestles my being.
Destroying myself, braced to my bones.
Erasing my body to stay safe and alone.
Eternal return...

This is how you survive.
Stay quiet!
