Anathema
Album • 2001
As the pressure grows, and these feelings flow. Trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith. Times I've asked, the Lord for forgiveness. While kept under a spell, of a sweating locust's breath. No need to tell me, because it's written on your face. Sliding down now, with the black lights shining. I don't care where you go, you won't get away from me. Black as the night is day, filled with no sympathy. Marching down, the hall for a misery. I don't care where you go, you won't get away from me. Get away from me... You won't get away from me. Mouth tastes sick, my stomach twist inside. Everything's wrong, and I can't get away. The gravity of fear, you can feel it coming near. It's coming straight for you, it'll twist and drag you down. I don't care where you go, you won't get away from me. Black as the night is day, filled with no sympathy. Marching down, the hall for a misery. I don't care where you go, you won't get away from me. Get away from me... You won't get away from me.

Seeing is believing, but I don't want to know. Walk on through the wasteland, I just can't let go. Face down, I just break down, when I see you cry, all the time. Hold on, please! Behind those grey, and lonely eyes. Hold on to me! Unforgotten by time. Tempt fate, release! Reality is dawning, escape! Someone now is screaming, as the flames fly high. Think now that we're lost here, and we don't know why. Face down, I just break down, when I see you cry, all the time. Hold on, please! Behind those grey, and lonely eyes. Hold on to me! Unforgotten by time. Tempt fate, release! Reality is dawning, escape! Our spirit is awakening! Hold on, please! Somewhere in the hurricane. Hold on to me! Hope is waiting. Tempt fate, release, escape! Crying in the distance, and calling out your name.

Is this the one, who thought it was insane, coming down against it all? Didn't want it, didn't need it, didn't want it. Twisted face of fading beauty, count the cost of suffering. Cannot see the day before you, only feel what's deep inside. Try to change, it makes no difference. Didn't want it, didn't need it, didn't want it... Let me go... Looking outside inside, craving for something. Hoping for anything, I'll believe in anything. Who has eyes that see, who wants to believe, in something, in anything, in one thing, in freedom? Looking outside inside... Self-assist pandemonium, broken promises. Tired of life, flying high, you caught me in your eye. Disintegrated, incinerated, this is not how I want to be. Too much is coming through, someone please tell me what to do. Looking outside inside...

Born to the glare of the senses, spoon fed reality infused. A new inherent, passive contentment, you are so easily amused. Here and now, we are gone in a heartbeat. A dream in the passage of time. Chances are failing, this world isn't waiting. The moment is passing you by. Questions lie beneath the surface, the fools are fooled once again. Benign coincidence, we stole our existence, and gladly cast it to the wind. Here and now, we are gone in a heartbeat. A dream in the passage of time. Chances are failing, this world isn't waiting. The moment is passing you by. Slowly spinning, on the wind back home. No future, no warning...

There's always something, you won't dare to say. Your good intentions are boring, take me away. If it keeps you sane, then it's okay. If I played it safe, would it save me? I'd like to get some rest now, if I could just ignore the truth, scratching at my window. This time I've got to make a move. Ego obliteration, stand back and watch me melt away, dissolve all recognition. I've got to burn, this weight out of my mind. Running through my veins, until I disappear. This feeling is over, this feeling is over me. This feeling is over, this feeling is over me. There's always something, you won't dare to say. Your good intentions are boring, take me away. Climbing up the wall, going to creep between the cracks. Get out of my skull, tie the rope around my neck. Destroy all emotion, got to rip my face to shreds, cut my eyeballs open. Now I've got to burn, this weight out of my mind. Running through my veins, until I disappear. This feeling is over, this feeling is over me. This feeling is over, this feeling is over me. Over!

Floating with nowhere to hide. Unspoken, twist back inside. How did we get here? Life don't belong here. Feel like I just never tried, to find a way back to the outside. It stops me from breathing, kills all the dreaming. Talking to you from, the other side of a wall in my mind. It's clear that you're near to me! I think I found a way to understand, why I couldn't see what was happening. The fear overcame me! Took a trip on the inside, I took a trip on the inside. I try to hold on, until this feeling is gone. Break through to the other side. I need to break through to the other side, of everything that is hurting you. I just can't lay down and die, it takes a lifetime to understand why. It seems that you're near me, but you don't seem to hear me. Talking to you from, the other side of a wall in my mind. It's clear that you're near to me! I think I found a way to understand, why I couldn't see what was happening. The fear overcame me! Took a trip on the inside, I took a trip on the inside. I try to hold on, until this feeling is gone. Break through to the other side. I need to break through to the other side, of everything that is hurting you.

You know you ain't going nowhere, you're stuck inside while the mind is flying. You said you'd help me in the morning, twisting on pins into my eyes. And dragging on the ceiling below you, fixing up the walls with your crooked hands, while you miles away... I didn't think it'll all, end up like this. There's spiders on the wall, and they stink of piss. Dead heads lying in the corner, staring at me, making me feel bad. I put my hands up to my eyes, but the holes in my palms, let me find a way to corner you... I can feel my chest crushing inwards, sucking through my skin into my brain. Oxygen pushing on the window, the cracks in the glass let it slip away. I start to cry and I keep on laughing, I close my eyes at what's left inside. Then I'll ran away... For all the time this land, for all the time in my hand. Slip around, in depth found, calmness fall once again... Razor blades floating in the warm bath. Air bubbles in your veins, turning my hands black. Whispers coming from the next room, window cleaner keep on spying. I put my hands up to my eyes, but the holes in my palms, let me find a way to corner me... Twelve tonnes hammer for my breakfast, slipping of the edge in catatonic blood. Multiple decibel inscriptions, trying all they can in miles an hour. Half-face grey, and looming downwards, sniffing all the time, for a ounce of silence. Screaming all the way... Numbers counting down inside me, solar system thoughts circle round my head. False teeth hanging from the ceiling, feet looking of the goms of the second son. I eat my hands, 'cos my legs are crying, you broke my neck, 'cause I snapped my spine. I wish you'd die away... For all the time this land, for all the time in my hand. Slip around, in depth found, calmness fall once again...

Long way from home, nowhere to go. What made the river so cold? The sweat of thoughts, trickle down my brow. Soaking and stinging my eye. You've got to face it, head on. So you can turn this thing around, because this ain't right. Telltale signs and cries, of dreams unfulfilled, and time is running, running dry. Panic stricken bloodshot hearts. Try to restart, but no longer build the well, to survive sweet oblivion. You've got to face it, head on. So you can turn this thing around, because this ain't right. I've got these feelings, and I don't know why. I see all my fears, in the darkness of light. What made the river so cold? Never anyone to rearrange and fall to, time inside the empty. Call to the blameless, I am faithless. Placid dying eyes. You've got to face it, head on. So you can turn this thing around, because this ain't right. You have to go eye to eye. Raise your face to the sky, because this ain't right. I got to believe when I say, only this is the way.

Deep inside the silence, staring out upon the sea. The waves washing over, half forgotten memories. Deep within the moment, laughter floats upon the breeze. Rising and falling, dying down within me. I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be. All this time, all I had inside, was what I couldn't see. I swear I never knew, I never knew how it could be. All the waves washing over, all that hurts inside of me. Beyond this beautiful horizon, lies a dream for you and I. This tranquil scene is still unbroken, by the rumors in the sky. But there's a storm closing in, voices crying on the wind. This serenade is growing colder, breaks my soul that tries to sing. There's so many, many thoughts, when I try to go to sleep. But with you I start to feel, a sort of temporary peace. There's a drift in and out. Drift in and out...
