Officium Triste
Giving Yourself Away
1. Your Eyes
They tell me
Your eyes
Tell it all
I'm afraid
I don't see
Anything at all
Your eyes
So dull they seem
Without any light
Nothing in there to see
Nothing in sight
Just empty holes
Living a life
Without a soul
And it's like
Your eyes
Are the eyes of the blind
Without sight
Without hope
For all mankind
They tell me
Your eyes
Tell it all
Still I don't see
Don't see nothing at all
Empty eyes
Without a soul
Empty shell
Without hope
Your eyes
No light
They tell me
Your eyes
Tell it all
I'm afraid
I don't see
Anything at all
Your eyes
So dull they seem
Without any light
Nothing in there to see
Nothing in sight
Just empty holes
Living a life
Without a soul
Just a shell
With nothing inside
I cannot tell
What you might
Think or see
Or what you feel
A pointless life
It seems to me
They tell me
Your eyes
Tell it all
I'm afraid
I don't see
Anything at all
Your eyes
So dull they seem
Without any light
Nothing in there to see
Nothing in sight
Just empty holes
Living a life
Without a soul
2. My Charcoal Heart
My heart is in pain
the feelings for you won't be the same
My heart a diamond it won't be
Black like coal, all you will see
The pain from feelings of disgust
What once was love is blown away like dust
My heart black as night
Tears like tar from my eyes
Venom pumping through my veins
When I speak my words are like flames
My heart a diamond it won't be
Black like coal, all you will see
The pain from feelings of disgust
What once was love is blown away like dust
All because of the way I've been treated
I have been deceived
You cheated on me
From the start
Now I've got a charcoal heart
My heart, black as night
Tears like tar from my eyes
The result of your goddamn lies
3. Signals
Signals you gave
Signals returned
Should tell us both
We haven't learned
Anything at all
From one another
From each other's point of view
Even though we might
Have understood a few
Still there's nothing
We can do
The harm has been done
Can't go back in time
To resolve what has come
Upon us both
Upon our lives
The signals were there
In retrospect
We were blinded by hope
Still it won't come back
The way things evolved
Cannot change the past
These things can't be solved
So take it as it is
Although we're in pain
Should have noticed these signs
These warnings should have gained
Some insight
In what we had
Too bad
We didn't understand
4. On The Crossroads Of Souls
I see bulbs of light flashing by
Souls with different goals
They've all got various destinies
So many but on their own
They're moving fast
A life like this won't last
No time to stop
Got to move on
And I'm standing still
Transfixed and in awe
Wondering why
Why this rush
Why this haste
This insane pace
Being in a rat race
They're moving fast
As I'm standing on the crossroads
Observing these souls on the move
I keep thinking it is time
It is time to slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
5. Inside The Mind
I don't want to fall asleep
When I fall asleep
I feel naked in my mind
My mind is showing me
Things I don't want to see
From the past and what is to be
It's all too much for me
As it shows who I really am
And it shows who I'm gonna be
Reality is shown within my dreams
I have to stay awake by any means
When I fall asleep
I feel naked in my mind
My mind is showing me
Things I don't want to see
From the past and what is to be
It's all too much for me
As it shows who I'm gonna be
And it shows who I really am
Reality is shown within my dreams
I have to stay awake by any means
I can't be proud off myself
A masquerade of who I am
I feel that's my only help
Don't want to belong to the damned
Yet to the damned I belong
All hope forever gone
Sleepless nights what I get
A state of mind I regret
I regret what I see when asleep
All left for me to keep
Nightmare visions, tossing and turning
The sight of my mind burning
6. Master Of Your Own Demise
Only you
You are the sole reason
Of falling down
Down into the well of sorrow
You are the master
The master of your own demise
