It only seems clear when they talk to me Invite me in Invite me in Lose your self of contentedness Gain a joy that feels even less The abyss opened wide and I fell through Into the dark Into the dark Expect the dread that is almost here Turn to dust and embrace the fear Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked Tricked (You only have yourself to blame)

Thinking that this place is ours Meeting your reflection Is it an enemy? (Just a little bit, just a little bit) Thinking they're make believe Seeing the other half form Do they come in peace? (No one really knows, no one really knows) "Aww, it sounds like a small dog, dunnit?"

"So, did you manage to uncover anything from the perpetrator's-" Hazy summer You open your eyes for the first time Your claws break free from the egg sac Shrieking, your evil shrieking Oh, what a sight you are to behold Hazy summer You open your eyes for the first time Your claws break free from the egg sac Shrieking, your evil shrieking Oh, what a sight you are to behold I want to see you there through the fog I want to see you there through the fog I want to see you there through the fog

Light is gone and I've been really slowing down Days feel like weeks, everyone is leaving me I know they say to try a little harder, try to see the bright side Oh, if I could believe me You'd be amazed in the end Night has come and I've really been speeding up Midnight feels like years, the spirits start to dance I know she said to try and let the past go, try to see the future Oh, if I could believe me You'd be amazed in the end The air is dead (and the) Ground is dead (and the) Plants are dead (and the) Birds are dead (and the) Trees are dead What are you running from? Who makes your heart crumble? Why did it have to be this way? What are you running from? Who makes your heart crumble? Why did it have to be this way?

And I see all the pieces falling from the sky And I see all the pieces falling from the sky And I see all the pieces falling from the sky And I see all the pieces falling from the sky Pieces of you Pieces of me Pieces of this nightmare When will it end? (Bara släpp taget) Trauma begets trauma begets trauma Why did you even try? Making the same mistakes (Is what I'm used to) Making the same mistakes (Is what you're used to) (Vilket slöseri) Stars not quite in alignment Opposite ends of the poles Passing strangers on a busy street Two different ships in the night And I see all the fragments lying broken now And I see all the fragments lying broken now And I see all the fragments lying broken now And I see all the fragments lying broken now Fragments of past Fragments of present Fragments of the future Can it ever mend? (Något saknas) Anger begets anger begets anger

Matilda's Curse 01:34
lyrics

I sense the darkness in you But where are you now? Welcome me back into my dream (Say you'll stay) Because it's all I ever wanted, no I always really wanted, just To climb inside and pull you in My twisted little fantasy Born as a defect, reject (Different from the other children) Kept in the cellar, tell her that she's (Not like the boys and girls) "Let me tell you a story Matilda. My grandfather used to read this to me when I was around your age. It is an ancient tale from the years of new - when man was but beast. It all began on the first day... but what a tragic beginning it would be."

Think you're pretty Thinking you've got the looks (although) No amount of cosmetic Will cleanse your tainted soul (Will cleanse your tainted soul) Good golly Miss Molly Play dolly Suck a lolly Feel jolly And if you Want to break Free from this life Then take my hand And Surrender Think you're happy Thinking the world loves you (although) No amount of explaining Will really sit with you (Will really sit with you)

lyrics

3, 2, 1, go Once when I was young And the tigers sang to me The rivers ran through the eyes Of our kind and gentle God Once there was no pain And the world was always bright The forest went on for miles On our kind and caring God Once the dreams came true And the joy was captured here The oceans, they shone so pure In our kind and loving God (This has gone on long enough!) "Oh no, he has awoken!" "What will we do?" "Please, O Great One, spare us!" "We are blind without Your guidance!" Not my fault It's not my fault Worship me Just worship me (And say goodbye to all your) Freedoms! Your individualities! (Care not I for the little devoted specks that crawl on my skin between every crevice) "I now cast thee into the vortex, where an unknown fate will await you. Goodbye, my loyal creations."

Freedoms, you think of all your freedoms (or lack thereof) As the sunset melts again (tired Sun) Tired of repetition, routine (routine) And the dying youth you hold (farewell) "He looks out the window of the tower, across the vast lake and distant mountains where he grew up. He has been in this cell for over fifteen years now. Will he ever leave?" Madness, you think of all your madness (irreversible) In the tiny room you sit Exhausted from all the silence, routine (routine) And the failing soul you have (farewell) "He falls asleep once again, the night peeking over the horizon, blanketing the endless continent in a thick coat of despair and misfortune. A haggard face haunts his dreams, cackling 'This place will be your grave.' Writhing in terror, he awakes in a cold sweat. He glances around the dim room, illuminated only by the moonlight of the night sky. He longs to be reunited with the land down below. To run in the fields, to bathe in the oceans, to feed the animals, to-" Patience, you think of all your patience As the years go trickling by Jaded from all the nothing, routine (routine) And the lack of will you cradle (farewell) (Escape is but a dream)
