lyrics

Lyrics:
Gentle whisper reminds me, screams to me,
It's taunting, screaming you're going no where
This breath that trails down towards my neck,
Reminds me, screams surrender
Eternities pass with each and every day,
A strength is built from the flaws of the weak
I've washed these hands,
A thousand times
And still they remain unclean,
Burdened, unforgiven

Left to dwell, Left to linger,
Bleeding to feel alive
Feet planted, Eyes snapped shut,
Walls close in
Left to fight against this,
Left to dwell, Left to linger
Choking to feel alive
Closing in

Walls close in,
As my mind grows thin
As it all surrounds,
So I scream surrender
From this hell,
Breathing down my neck
As it all surrounds,
As the walls close in

Surrender to me
I am the hell in which you dwell

Left to dwell, Left to linger
Bleeding to feel a-live
Feet planted, Eyes snapped shut,
Walls close in
Left to fight against this,
Left to dwell, Left to linger
Dying to feel alive,
Closing in

Walls close in,
As my mind grows thin
As it all surrounds,
So I scream surrender
From this hell,
Breathing down my neck
As it all surrounds,
As the walls close in

This road doesn't, Seem to stop
This path will have no end
It is breathing down my neck, And so I will re-main
Will re-main

Surrender to the road, As the walls close in

about

Ruins of an Empire Sydney, Australia

I had a dream last night. I dreamt I was a dove flying over the sea. And then I dove into the ocean... And I swam with the dolphins. I was two animals joined as one... which meant good things are coming. Good things.
