1. ENGRAVED

I leave the void of the grave
Drawn to the place I once knew
I remember sorrow
I remember doom
Nothing but pain

Take me away forever
Where I can no longer feel
Under the earth
Hiding beneath my own name

Engraved


2. HOPELESS LAMENT

Beyond the window sill
Lie those memories of me
How I tried to give
How I failed to receive
The sad sum of all my deeds

And when the rains come
Wash the flowers off my stone
Will you still think of me
Will you forgive what I’ve done

And when the rains come
And hide your gaze from the sun
Will you still think of the day
You found your soul to be gone

Forgive me (let me forever be dust)
Forget me (I’m not worthy of your tears)
Forgive me (so that I can disappear)
Forget me (I deserve nothing more)

You won’t hear it
But I’ll whisper that sweet song
For you and you alone
Every time you are alone


3. CURSED TO LONELINESS

One full year has passed
You keep forgetting to visit
This abandoned burial place
You have not fulfilled your promise
Are you dead as well?

I will retrace all my steps
Until you break this curse
Hours leading to my death
Feel this anguish
Dark despair

I will do it tonight once more
You did not arrive
Why?

Grass overgrown
Cursed to loneliness


4. HERE, AFTER

I no longer shiver
I no longer cry
I’m what makes your skin crawl in the dark

My burden I left hanging
From this clement noose
I now offer it to you

Your life is joyless
Mine always was
Ephemeral glimpses
Deceitful traps

Say your last words
And join us
Here, after

Peaceful rest for us
The eternal departed
