about
In the deepest of sleeps, she revisits her past. The face she's run from all this time, staring at her behind her eyelids. How did she get hear, where is this all leading.
She wakes on a sunken ship, trapped in rooms of breathable air that remain she considers her lungless fate.
Before the beautiful peace that is inevitability takes her, the trauma returns. The sunken ship now rockets through the sky and she tumbles into a world haunted by a face, the face that knows, the face that will find her, the face that never forgives.
If dreams must turn to nightmares, let them be, trapped behind her eyelids and never before her waking eyes...
lyrics
Why won’t it ever go away,
This question in my brain,
Where did I,
Begin thinking in this way.
Can you give me a place or an era,
A time in which we prayed,
To a god,
Or many,
Do I really have to use my head?
Congregations by water in thousands,
The masses you’ll see!
Oh what of ours?
That lack colour,
That lack soul,
Time, feeling,
Anything at all,
Tell me where did my blue history go?
Tell me boy where do ya come from?
Ya staple story origin,
Not an almost complete recollection,
Of what,
You might’ve been told.
Tell me all of the horrible details,
Of who lived and who died,
Did my blood build empires?
Or crumble to carnage commit genocide?
Well if it’s gruelling or painful or too hard to hear,
If it’s crawling right under my skin,
It don’t matter how low,
What’s killing me so,
Is getting so old,
With nothing to know,
Tell me where did my blue history
GO? *(#&)!!\
I’ll spit upon the alter,
Yell up to the beast,
Wake up to the enemy,
While your sitting on your knees,
Now you’ll see them,
Not in the sky,
The stinking foot of anarchy,
being told by majesty,
This is who you are!
That was them,
Who am I?
Where will I be sent to die?
A marble hall,
A wooden box,
River filled with skeletons?
You and I,
Red and white,
Colours of a daily taught devotion,
Tooooo..
That was them,
Who am I?
Where will I be sent to die?
A marble hall,
A wooden box,
A river filled with skeletons?
You and I,
Red and white,
Colours of a daily taught devotion,
Tooooo..
A River…
A River…
I’ll Burn the ugly answer,
Take preference at the feast,
I'll steal all of your children,
Break all of your teeth!
Ya home
Ya bank
Ya boat
- I see reasons,
Can't you see?
The stinking foot of anarchy
being told by majesty,
This is who you are! Ohhh
I can feel it everyday,
In a dream,
Take a seat.
