Killing The Flies |
| Air filled with sand lashing in my face |
| I can’t see you fifteen feet away |
| I can hear you somewhere in the distance |
| I have lost you |
| The air is filled with sand |
| Eroding my skin I can smell you in the air I’m breathing |
| I can feel you everytime I’m falling |
| I can taste you |
| You’re the sand I’m eating |
| I can’t kill you |
| The air is filled with sand |
| Eroding my skin |
| All trees cast their leaves when you’re around |
| All colors grow pale, all tones lose their sound |
| Air filled with sand |
| It’s eroding my skin |
| All wheels stop turning |
| Now take the night-bus and begin all over again |
| Some things fade faster than you would believe |
| Some memories sway your thoughts for a while |
| Yet some might be etched into your skull so deeply they’ll never grow pale |
| Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster |
| Don’t want you to see the state I’m in |
| Where do I end, where do you begin? |
| Air filled with sand |
| It’s eroding my skin |
| All wheels stop turning |
| Now take the night-bus and begin all over again |
| Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster |
| I’m on the speed-ramp going faster and faster… |
| Lets stay in bed today |
| The sun ain’t shining anyway |
| Completely knocked out, unable to move |
| Dwelling in daydreams, I’m closer |
| I’m closer to you |
| I enwrap myself in black sheets |
| To match the sky |
| I no longer want to see |
| The bitterness in your eyes |
| You start killing the flies |
| You start killing the flies |
| This is the imperative of devotion: |
| A command to consistent actions |
| To defend our most heartfelt convictions |
| Against attempts of self-protection |
| To cut them down to size of reason |
| What we feel is true |
| I can’t abandon you |
| I lost something forever in you |
| It all breeds only pain though I can’t discard it |
| Can’t rid of myself of you without betraying my heart |
