Anathema Album

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 'cos its 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...

Mouth tastes of sick stomach twisting 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...

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

Some one now is screaming
As the flames fly high
Think now that we're lost here
But 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, spirit is awakening

Hold on please, somewhere in the hurricane
Hold on to me, hope is waiting
Tempt fate release, crying in the distance
Escape, calling out your name

Is this the one who thougt 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
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
set assist pandemonium -broken promises
died alive flying high - you caught me
in your eye. disintegrated insinerated
this is not now 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 your time

Chances are fading
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 fading
This world isn't waiting
The moment is passing you by

Slowly spinning on the wind back home

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 the 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

Climbing up the wall
Going to creep between the cracks
Get out of my skull
Tie the rope around my neck
Destroy all emotion
Going to rip me face to shreds
Cut my eyeballs open

I've got to burn this wait out of my mind
Running through my veins until I disappear

This feeling is over
This feeling is over me

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
And 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

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 we driving on the ceiling below you
facin' up the walls with your crocked hands
while you're miles away...

I don't think at 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't feel my chest because it ain't much
sucking through my skin into my brain
oxygen pushing on the window
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
and then I'll ran away...

For all the time this land
for all the time in my hand
circle 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 ton hammer for my breakfast
slipping of the edge in catatonic blood
multiple decibel inscriptions
trying all they can in miles an hour
all 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 2nd son
I eat my hands 'cos my legs are crying
you broke my neck 'cause I snapped my spine
I wish you would die away...

For all the time this land
for all the time in my hand
circle 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 gotta face it head on
so you can't turn this thing around
cos this ain't right)

tell tale sighs 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 gotta face it head on
so you can't turn this thing around
cos this ain't right)

I 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 gotta face it head on
so you can't turn this thing around
cos this ain't right
you have to go eye to eye
raise your face to the sky
cos 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 are washing over
half forgotten memory

Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are
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
rumours in the sky
but there's a storm
closing in voices
crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and 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
