Emptier Still 11. At Loss For Words 1. The Wonders At Your Feet [music: Brandstrom, Jivarp, Henriksson] deeper shades of red descending smear our names, the stains unending turn forgiveness, break the lens distorted crush the infidel and turn about famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder eradicate the lungs and take us higher these are the wonders at your feet weighed upon a wider scale afraid to see what takes us down sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment search abandoned, let the blood be fevered ridden of the self provided things get easier ignite our minds and let's burn brighter these are the wonders at your feet 2. Not Built To Last [music: Jivarp, Henriksson, Brandstrom] what came as no surprise to a jaded mind no less insight comes to soothing grace left to waiting days ..another chord unstrummed our secret's safe and sound solid now unless it breaks in two faithfully unbound none of this was ever built to last in the paleness of a less than life from a corner watching old paint dry never once a break into the self again an endeavour that will flat our fail what maturity comes to end never one to face ..another beat undone our secret's safe and sound solid now unless it breaks in two faithfully unbound none of this was ever built to last once again another instant saved today left a print that leads nowhere never built to last what makes it work a part of life that makes the weak hearts grow take it in if you?re willing to say willing to do prepared to lay it down just know this it was never built to last 3. Indifferent Suns [music: Nicklasson, Henriksson] and although it can be argued whether time will ever come to end there is an overcoming sense of failing if you never can see the end in the giving of our hope eternal we stumble blindly and forget the way is there ever time for answers when the world comes tumbling down all along we keep staring at the sun closing our minds saying we're the ones all along we keep staring at the sun blind to see it when the day will come and even if in days of wonders a glance that may stray from the fold cast aside in the spirit of ignorance a mere nuisance when it?s time to pay come undone now the strive and the passion giving under to the forces that be can you even think of questions when the world comes tumbling down we shut our eyes and turn away all along we keep staring at the sun closing our minds saying we're the ones all along we keep staring at the sun blind to see it when the day will come 4. Feast of Burden [music: Henriksson, Jivarp] scars torn open bondage slave eating my wrists a thrust that numbs the pain secondary now the instinct thrust beyond control chaotic are the tracks before me barren are the ones behind carried in a cage controlling driven on, driven in taken to the extreme headlong onto the breach pumping fast, the race is on furious in striving the feast of burden begins the enslaving force thrown ahead unrelenting faithfully holding fast steaming ahead unknowing careless again it seems oblivious to the pressure the feast of burden begins 5. Haven [music: Jivarp, Henriksson] now as the lights go down deeper now it seems than long before there are no noises here just a silence gone bad something I will never hide this urging need to invite the darkside in into my haven if there were words for this would i sing or would i scream? i'd give my blood to stay my blood just to stay right here something can never share this urging need to invite the darkside in into my haven 6. The Same [music: Brandstrom, Jivarp, Henriksson] what we always fear and loathe becomes of us repay the visit of our loss reset the marks again the turning point seems to be holding on sands of ages and the stars above everchanging as the same hearts beat repeating 'til the end seas of slander and the soil we walk everchanging as the same hearts beat it ends up all the same the sail that never knew the wind barren and lost our wrecks these shores will never reach a trek on darker trails let days be done it takes forever 7. Fabric [music: Brandstrom] scattered throughout now indefinite form willed to find strangers in the wickedest state when it comes upon you my friend fear not - it makes us men hidden within ourselves now lured into hiding out of sight creation in purity we don't need no host suck it in it waits for noone take it down the coming of descent fiery changeling reddened and frail perspire to save it the remnant of this game if it launches again today will our lives begin again turning away from tides of lust stronger return against all odds suck it in it waits for noone take it down the coming of descent raised to take stand to separate grace shown in the wake of new light seeing it will break the flavour of aquired taste another boundary yet to face witness the revolution the fabric of essence come again 8. Ego Drama [music: Jivarp, Henriksson] wrestled on its back the ego showed his face charged up, recieving came out knowing hopeless intrusion where nothing can be found strewn, the seeds were wasted on the innocent in awe fruitless connection in the ripeness of his age drawn and thrust in anger the dagger once again will fail it's over if nothing comes along it's over for you so in denial stand where shame is not and unto others fall the blame, the guilt, the others fault come on now- scratch and claw with all your strength take on the wildest bull in the horde come burn them fingers fast and take back what they owe return the safety where there was none... 9. Rundown [music: Henriksson, Jivarp] cowardice, this chain of events gather and plot the ensnaring of me (ensnaring) gone now the sense of lust is there a cost for the reckless excess? taken in the growth and trust retalitory strike at the weakest spot raked away the remains of my fall that laid scattered cross plains of regret humble in defence of the wicked run down, naked and blind merciless, the onslaught of demands get in line for the numbning i won't make a stand redeemer of the slavery reconcile with the carefree and content ensnarer, caretaker lead not these the frail into battle again crossing out the ramblings of others tired of the same old refrain knowing this will all be corrected torn down, wasted and lost i can't take it anymore 'cause i am rundown can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong tired and rundown spat it out the foolish lines you fed it holds a place in the civilized mind forcefed, the turn of our venturesome quest being rundown as we seek the day this was lost all that you see all that'll be rundown 10. Emptier Still [music: Henriksson] secrets in here claim no belonging together again or send me to madness i know that i should have listened was given a choice i turned down forever so tell me are you lonely emptier still as time takes us farther away from the goals by which we are measured i know that I should have stayed true to you and to me but time never heals so here alone I stand so tell me are you lonely tell me are you mine i see you standing there your face against the wall so turn right around i who know your deepest fear and yet you walk away so turn right around so tell me are you lonely tell me are you mine don't speak for you are me 11. At Loss For Words [music: Jivarp, Henriksson] waiting for the signs to bring the first to sing felt inbetween these fears set to unknown tunes so tempt these fragile fiends a grace gone dark you'll never know never feel never taste the depths of your defeat break into the hearts and minds of man never one to tell sucking on a lie that never ends found at loss for words locking on to faith gone bad sweet touch of sin not in the sleight of hand can facts be lost never understate your case deny our weight there never is never was can never be a break from binding chains break into the hearts and minds of man never one to tell sucking on a lie that never ends found at loss for words
