Don't deny your part in setting the tone for our end You were always a sore that I could not amend Nothing I said or did could ever have stopped this Chokehold that you embrace and with it - your decay And now we're finally out of bounds You've served your last drink spiked with perfume This rendevouz was fake from the get-go From the moment you ceased to try, this ceased to be This ceased to be You ceased to me But even now I don't feel free This ceased to stay You've fade to gray You have embraced your decay Your decay And I hope this turns out well For all near you I hope you find the one to solidate you I hope your brother grows up unharmed I hope your mother finds happiness I hope it turns out well But I know it won't. And all that's left to say are the meaningless goodbyes That none of us demand or even comprehend So spare me your efforts, spare me your time Because it means so much more to me than you In the best of worlds, anxiety would cease In the best of worlds your god would sleep In the best of worlds, this would concede itself But I know it won't.

Not a word learned or listened to Wasting away is the norm to you With your right arm raised, and it just strikes me as hypocrisy singing "thou ancient, thou free" In your final hour, when all the regrets dwell Have you wasted your life and lived in vain? When they profit on your dreams you've got to reap what you sow When your heart is full of shame you've got to reap what you sow

These walls that we put up are making short work Pulling asunder and tearing apart Enabling our senses to disconnect Leaving eachother with nothing at all I guess this feeling ain't mutual Judging from your awkward conversations You show no interest in our lives And I can't blame you We've had some swell times In the past But now those days are gone Those days are gone

Bländad av solens skärande ljus Ser jag inte mer än armarnas längd Fumlandes i mörkrets väldiga grepp Behöver jag din fyr för att leda mig hem När mörkret har lättat är det enda som jag ser Att du bytt ut oss mot ett gift och bara vill ha mer Tills allt vi betydde var ett minne blott Någonstans längs vägen försvann din lust att kämpa Någonstans längs vägen försvann din empati Lurad av ditt själviska flin Förstörd av detta tragiska svin Tomhet är allt jag har Tomhet var allt du lämnade kvar Tomhet var allt du någonsin var

Löften En massa tomma ord Hur kunde du sjunka så djupt Havet Blått, stormigt och kallt Där lämnar vi varandra Panik visar människors sanna natur Och vi var inte bättre än såhär Vi har tappat bäring Förlorat allt som var Ur askan reser sig skuggan Av det vi aldrig kommer vara Ur askan kom bara misär Ur askan reser sig skuggan Av det vi aldrig kommer vara I askan skulle vi stannat..

Freedom - so seldom achieved But we managed to build our safeplace, Our haven where each dogday made the pieces fall in place Where forever seemed like yesterday and our souls were set ablaze Sensing our vast fault, we were left appaled With nothing to boast of but dead memories Shredding our past trust, we were split apart With nothing to say but goodbye These scratchings on our walls will remain And if anyone would see them, they would know That we lived the lives of spiders Cobbling webs to fill the gaps Say goodbye You made me happy
