Neurosis
Album • 2004
You lie in the snow, cold but not dead Stare in the sun, long since its last heat Feel the freeze burn skin Salt your open wounds A burning desire clears your eyes A willful air fills your lungs You choke your first breath of wildfire and ocean’s depth Climb out of your hole, see your spirit take form This world of cold stone gives nothing in return To those who sleep while the restless burn There are those few driven to flame Most are content to drown in the wake of dreams The trail lies overgrown Across the years fade out of light Ever growing dim to an age in the dark Grasp from your soul and don’t let it steal your eyes

The water's deep here The less of me I show to you The more I get to get me through The stain of my eyes Burnt deep within Who will fall? I asked not to know I'm sealed away, you can't touch me now Wheel and fire return to me Let them come Be my eyes, lead me on Lift me out, tear me up, spark to fire Whatever comes through me I will be I had three signs thrown down on me Fate frees my heart Whatever comes through me I will be Digging a hole so I can rest No tears from me, no river to take me home The stones in my way reach to the core Of a rising sun falling through the wind to the soil As my body leaves me I cling to a tree in a dream I'm screaming to you Whatever comes through me I will be

A wind carries your scent to those who will find you out A storm forces you down to seek shelter from the rain Your trail leads to a mine of cyanide and gold A free falling darkness leads you to yourself I am low to the ground again I have the future bearing on down I run with the starlight to the end The tail of the echo subsides (oath breaker sinks low) So I crawl through the hailstones My eyes fixed on my return (oath breaker sinks low) Time brings them all home to the eye of every storm

A light went out of the world today The spirit rose like smoke The corpse gave in to the ether We're left to wonder at the void We're left to wander The race to render your vision A fracture in the world can devour Return to the light of the bearer The radiant breaks down into life We're left to wander

This track is instrumental.
I had a vision last night, my God was glowing There was another bridge on fire And the last wrecks were counted The sky opened and the blood flowed A distant cancerous season was upon me I had a hook in my back and a light to guide me My words were useless again The leftovers were playing with my memories of love I screamed at my God and he let me go I drifted silently to the desert and began to pray I came to a pile of ashes and sifted through it looking for teeth A snake spoke through me again But I could not heal their wounds I'm searching for the old spirit of war With my rough hands and sharp knife I need something to cut into so that my God can see me again To be right again To see my shadow alone To get back to the hook and let the light burn in my soul All I've been walking through the fire The figures in my dreams Run back on me in a psychic scar As I ride to the dawn

Let me speak free from scorn Stars like weeds grow unshorn They lie austre and vain Crows show our way home Night was rain, a falling sea A rusted dawn strains to be Stones steam and snag the mists that rise From the low sun, a solemn glow O lustrous glow, the sun is low You've started a fire, you've started a fire, you've started a fire you can't put out You've burned your bridges, can't go back from where you came Vision is failing, just writhe and burn out of control No use pretending, slither back into your hole You'll drag your house down, when truth comes calling at your door Stare through the misty wonder, the life of men souls Your cup is empty and you are running out of time Caving your head in, don't dare to dream it will implode

Did you see your people? They all turned out for you We were all together not so long ago When the light reclaimed you We were left clawing at the sky In the ocean we can find you For the sun we praise your name In the dirt we pray for God to bring you back again I can see you, I can see you In the void the stones are turning and turning and turning I can see you, I can see you
