After the Burial
Album • 2010
I remember your taste, you're the life I gave away. Failure wrapped around my neck, you're the ghost that held me back. Now I am Letting go. Drowningmy self in the frozen waters. I feel words sacaping. They break from my thoughts and disappear from my mouth. They leave behind a a taste, a teaste of failure, so familiar it reminds me of you. Don't say you'll save my life. I never asked you for anything, but you wanted more. Dreowning in your freozen waters I was sinking, you were my frialty. Drowning in your frozen waters, don't say you'll save my life. I'm vanishing, I'm giving up on myself. Closing my eyes forever. Throw my body, into the wind spinnind and twisting I bend into smething else. A catastrophe, a murderer of my hopes and dreams. This is not my life.When winter ends, my new life begins. Bens and break, in pieces I was for you. You were my frialty don't say you'll save my fucking life.
When I return I dream of another life Failure transparent in the palm of my hand I am the contortionist We are the contortionists I can feel this distance is further and farther without you Contorting to fit somewhere I do not belong Brick by brick Stone on top of stone I create From these towers Built of nothingness I will fall And like these wordless feelings There is an emptiness we long to feel inside Father when will you come home? I have been dying inside Mother where have you gone? Oh so how hard I've been trying Hours upon hours I am fucking sleepless We are wretched, no sleep for the wicked And at night we come undone This is not who I ever was We are anything We are the contortionist We are the wordless feelings We are the great divide We are the emptiness we long to feel inside We are anything We are the contortionist

Breathing I am fading I feel I am losing myself Wishing I could be someone I'm not I know somewhere there's a mirror that can show me who I am Because I will never know Constantly bending Engulfed by my history So scared of letting go Beyond everything I wish I could be I am just a man The sun will never shine me I am lost inside the meaningless We lose control Like a pendulum I forgot where I came from Holding on to the weight of regret We lose control Swing me back and forth again You gave and you bled Now I'm picking up the pieces of my broken heart Blocked out My shattered glass past Now I'm picking up the pieces I have swept away We lose control Swing me back and forth again

So I'll keep searching, for a place called home. I'll rip my roots from this earth, into the unkonwn. Is it for the dreams I chased or the ones I caught, this mystery this misery is killing me. So now I'll leave behind a murder scene, my life isn't real, it's just a silhouette and when the sun goes down, I won't exist. I will be forfotten, bread crums and white stones can't follow me. Overwhelming, constantly i'm tearing at the seams, the threads that hold me together, they envelop me. I am a shaking man. As my body breaks against the wind, I begin slowly to unravel. Overwhleming, I'm tearing at the seams, the threads that hold me together they envelop me. And with fervor I am everywhere I thought I never would be. I will never come home, I am a ghost inside your empty house. I don't exist. I will not come home, I'll never come home.

Who we are I'll never know, but when we spoke I knew you well, you loved me through and through. I never thought I would watch you leave us, from a room as a kid I held so close. I was a son made up of sand, you where the wind that let me go. I'll say goodbye, so this is goodbye. But I'm afraid to speak, so with words I'll tell the stoey, you meant so much to me. And like the nights upon the nights to come, I will dream of you, and know that I will see you soon. Give me the strength to sarry on. Tide you are the ocean tide, the swells swept you away, I was a son made up of sand, you where the wind that let me go. When the ocean tide has risen to high and waters have come to carry you away. Remember I will always be there to sing you to sleep

I could never find a way to rest upon your shoulders Misunderstood, please help but I meant so well I keep pushing through these bitter memories I try to to escape the nightmares but they are becoming of me I am the sleeping dream inside the dream My old me breaks my heart I hope I never wake up I need an answer Please help me This endeavor has swallowed me whole North winds twisting inside me I can feel this emptiness Slowly I am fading out I can feel this emptiness Slowly I am fading out And this is becoming of me My hands hold on tight, I'm not letting go Words are never good enough Everything I breathe is broken letters and bad timing And they are becoming of me I am the sleeping dream inside the dream I hope I never wake up

This is my promise to write to you So for you my every word Is the sinking feeling here in my chest I am so far from home but the further away we are the closer I am The closer I feel, the further you get My hands hold on tight to your every word I won't let go, but I feel my eyes advert from who I used to be We know the storms will come The winds they will sweep us all away Wrap me in your silver lining Torn between the roots of earth and the sky I left my heart behind, and I'm so far from home The weight is pulling me down, in your circles I am spinning In your circles I'll wait forever Lost control, my hands grip the wheel But I can't see where the road is leading Please hold on dear I know you're worried Counting down the days do you remember? Torn between the earth and the sky, I left my heart behind

I have been to the edge before, at the end of the world But there is nothing for me so I guess I'll just turn around I will follow my footsteps back home Still the same as before, but there is nothing for me So I Guess I'll just turn around Can't you see that I'm suffocating? In a world that means nothing to me My only hope is disintegrating Wishing someone could carry the weight for me Can't you see that the ends beginning? IN this life I've lost all I know Because hope is a word, that I forgot was feeling So please hold onto me and I won't let you go We are nothing more than memories I'll find the meaning inside this doubt I will see this through I'm frozen in time, encased in ice Break me apart so I can breathe again
