Untrue North 01:27
A slow dance A slow descent It was just a metaphor For you it meant nothing more But I carry on licking these wounds Day after day, living in our tomb A slow descent A failure to haunt me forever Silence for the flame that held us together

Thousands of nights restless and empty Feigning resilience in a world drowning in apathy How do I win Will I ever see the blackness defeated And washed away, washed away from me I've become a monster Scared and alone Suffocating with these people to please I've let myself down since day one I've let myself down since day one The look on their faces I can feel them slipping like I did I don't wanna see them go where I am Thousands of nights restless and empty Feigning resilience in a world drowning in apathy I've let myself down since day one I don't want to see them go where I am

A lamenting herald Slumbering deep within the bleak sepulcher Crawling like the dead wings among me still Locked away she whispers Pushing cryptic words through (dissolving) the cold stone A sweet hallucination Dredging through the peril Stumbling underneath the trees (in our tomb) I see the runes carved deep in the bark (see her face) Filling me with your fire Unchain me from this (no relief) misery I feel her here yearning to be heard But I can't decipher this dirge Through me into the way Pull me from my skin and stay I am dreaming above a world we killed Through me into the way Pull me from my skin and stay I am dreaming above a world we knew Through me into the way Pull me from my skin and stay I am dreaming above a world we loved Filthier Lover, help me It seems I'm not here alone In my heart you are my home

I feel it closing in I feel I'm losing it all again Dissociative haze How did I become this fucking way I feel a stranger in the purest sense I'm fucking ruined I feel a stranger in the purest sense I'm fucking ruined Where do I go from here Do I move and build a lie The plight of existential pride I feel a stranger in the purest sense I'm fucking ruined I feel a stranger in the purest sense I'm fucking ruined Where do I go from here What do we feel here I feel a stranger in the purest sense I can see all of this I feel a stranger in the purest sense I'm fucking ruined (you ask) What does it mean to me The plight of existential pride They all have their illusions Why can't I change mine Why can't I change mine

I bet you fucking think You're still a caveman with primitive needs Living out like they did Contrasting every single with the way it was then With the way it was, with the way it was then So keep sending your prayers As if they'll change a fucking thing And just go fuck yourself You're just like everybody else Swimming in all those bullshit lies What kind of sick fuck ignores their cries Fuck you I've got some news for you There's nothing god can do Nothing god can do How many times will you lie to yourself No matter how many times you hear the truth There's nothing god can do for you
6.
There's a memory Where I have seen A vision, a dream Fragments of a thought Drowning in a blue spring Is anything as it seems The mystery of Being A shapeless purpose With skin and vein A wandering divinity Wandering insane A shapeless purpose With skin and vein
