Candlelight

This weak, weak light
This mere candle
Has gone up against
The nights of the universe
An endless space with no stars
No sun, no Gods
Who's going to save me now?

Guilt

I never meant to cry
And to make you feel bad
Guess guilt kept you in
Kept you from leaving
Sooner than you did

The Lynching

Everyone,
Rally 'round the tortured heart
Kick and beat him while he's down

Everyone,
Tear his heart out and feed
Put him out of his misery

Consumed

Man kan inte lita på en människa
Man bygger vapen utav paranoia
Utav rädsla för en ilska
För ett hat och för en fruktan
Så flyr de rika till Mars
Där en blomma har blommat
När Jorden är förbrukad

//

You can't trust a human being
You build weapons out of paranoia
Out of fear for an anger
For a hatred and for a fear
So the rich will flee to Mars
Where a flower has bloomed
When the earth has been consumed

Give Up

You think I don't know
But I knew more than you knew
I knew you were gone
Before you even left
And they say that when you love
You let them go
But I still hate myself
forever for doing so

I give up
I can't keep up
So, I give up

Wedding Blues

I went to a wedding
Dressed for a funeral
The priest preached about life and love
While my woman gave me death

The darkness permeates through me
And I don't mind
The blues is what's giving me life

Even a lonely dog
Conspired with desperate needs
Refuses to even look at me

The world ain't no wonderful place

The Pains and the Hope for a Cure

Fucking dead
The storm is coming
The fear strikes within
Can you tell me what is worth it?

The pains and the hope for a cure
Exploding within nothing,
How much must I endure?
I have cared too much
And for way too long
The debt has been paid
A long time ago

The last will and force will go
To writing myself off
To distance myself from you
And to leave while I have the energy to

Destruction I

How could the face of destruction
Be so beautiful?
The face of humanity
Is unbelievable
I believe the truth will conquer us
Saving grace just ain't enough
We've welcomed hell
By making it up

We've pulled away the chair
And sat right down
The firemen are too drunk
When Satan comes to town
Saving us from the people
In our surroundings
The people clogging up our minds
Burying the findings

Remember destruction
And innocence
The faith is lost
As is the tenderness
I'll face my will
No matter what it costs

Once Upon a Time

He may hold you in his arms
But you gave me your everlasting love
How could he ever take that away?
No love can just disappear in thin air

Do you remember how we cried?
And how we laughed and how we smiled
I remember all those times
Once upon a time, once upon a time

Atrophy

I believe in atrophy
There are no days where I am young
I am hundreds of years old
In dog years

This isn't what I meant to do
So how did I end up here?
I knew that it was too good to be true
You dropped right off at some wayward station
And I am lost and on my way to hell
There's no one near as far as I can tell

So I believe in atrophy
God, just smite me
I am here on my knees
If you won't,
I'll have to rely on my sidekick

Chains

I see you in the corners
Of every damned room
The chains of love
Have always kept me bruised
The rain clouds float
Underneath the ceiling
The life I lost
No longer has any meaning
Forgive me, my love
I am no human being

Running Out

There's never been a time
When I've been feeling good
I'm surrounded by walls
And I've got nothing to do
You tell me to just go out
Enjoy the sunshine
If I'd be able to
Why the hell wouldn't I?

I'm running out
In the drain
I'm running out of love
So I sing

There ain't no cure for
What doesn't exist
You just tell me to stop
Being a pessimist

I'm running out
In the drain
I'm running out of love
So I sing

Bad Day

Today is a bad day
I ain't got no sympathy
I haven't forgot
How you abandoned me
For some bastard bitch
After all you said
After all you promised
Now I've got nothing

Are you happy now?
You've destroyed me
You told me it was forever
But you just wanted to be free

I'm dead now
There's no hope
Thanks to you
I ain't bulletproof
And this kevlar is sinking me

Cage

They lead us up for auction
And there's no telling why
I've been born inside a cage
I've been counting down my days
Of this precious life of mine
I've been searching for a midnight train
To take me out of sight

They took me out of order
Cause I was in no place of worth
I guess they thought this cage life
Was the best that I could herd
I've come back down to the place I love
To the riverside just down below
I took the pills they fed me
And now I'm breaking of the hurt
They took what was the light of mine
And now I'm wasting my own luck

I've been counting down my days
Of this precious life of mine
I've been searching for a midnight train
To take me out of sight

Sunrise of the Sundown

I won't, won't, won't
Won't be afraid
When the light comes my way

And I've been living by the ocean
For some time now
And I've been tending not to watch
Until the sun's down

But I won't, won't
But I won't, won't
I won't won't be afraid
When the light comes my way

The sun is rising,
And the clouds are pink and purple
And it's 'bout time
That I burst my bubble



But I won't, won't
I won't won't be afraid
But I won't, won't
I won't won't be afraid
When the light comes my way
