[00:22.21] The liquid is in your throat
[00:25.58] For hopeless delight
[00:28.84] After all you fell in love with death,
[00:31.00] Life has aborted.
[00:31.81] All you've had and all you became,
[00:33.52] The night is calling, you pray forth.
[00:36.18] The barren waste is your land
[00:39.78] Your crops, they were sown to die
[00:42.85] The skin is a mirror
[00:44.57] The eyes hollow with ignorance
[00:46.66] Health runs from your lips
[00:47.80] Sucked in and safe in a world of sleep
[01:00.67] All those years caring for a liar
[01:04.15] A benefit road that is winding higher
[01:07.71] You're a moth too close to the fire
[01:51.99] You are stuck in a route of confusion
[01:58.79] Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
[02:24.67] Fleeting your sorrows
[02:28.27] Pushing your spirit away
[02:31.39] Sick of the weakness of the psyche
[02:33.53] A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
[02:37.16] Resenting the goods of a savior
[02:38.59] And cries out
[02:42.59] For the restless will also die
[02:45.59] A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
[02:49.07] A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
[02:58.72] O brother,
[03:05.43] You are a killer and you target yourself
[03:18.72] I wish you'd never come back
[03:30.50] For us to see the beckoning end
[03:38.68] - music -
[06:25.28] And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
[06:36.19] And the love from a father was used by a father's son
[06:51.52] And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
[07:02.47] And the love from a father was used by a father's son
[07:25.62] Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
[07:33.97] The language of a parting so clear and so true
[07:56.22] Overheard us talking
