EIO Lyrics
"Analog"
through the coolest haze
of this dreamlike maze
it has begun
and all i wanted you near
with these wounds i bled
a perfect tone of red in isolation
through the swollen eyes of the dying
and my waking dreams we're all dying
to become what we swore we never would
now i watch and mourn in bloom
you take the way you know
i'll take the road unknown
and meet you there
at the end of time
we are frequency
we are tragedy
we are the love
we need to keep us here
we are the dying we are the lonely ones
we are the waiting forever faithful
when i see you on the other side
i will not be the same
as i was when i was yours
how i wanted you near!!!
we are the dying we are the lonely ones
we are the waiting forever faithful
when i see you on the other side
i will not be the same
as i was when i was yours
"Blueprint Of The Fall"
Imagine a place where freedoms just a word on the wall
surrounded by the wreekage of towers that could never fall
the company will avenge
imagine the lies like bombs turn the shock and the awe
for justice in time and a land for justice never was one thief
to rule them all along the Potomac and west toward the sea
through the ghettos past the monuments we all built to house the weak
its the blueprint to the fall of our place in history
the end to what we all believed to be the hope to save this place
and I walk among the flagstones thru the graves
an apocolypse is bloomin' in the sage
dead presidents lined coffin text in biblical unrest
the blind pride home genocide
and the secret wars we all missed
it's the blueprint to the fall of the entire human race
the end to what we all believed would be the hope to save this place
"Katatonia"
impoverished and bleedin' hope here somethin' fast receding dead light holocaust
I check this body in tonight cross my heart and hope to die
to never leave this place alive
im burning right in front of you
break myself against you i lay still
your penetrating glances dead stop all my
vain advances to another place where I can truly be myself
respirators kicked on high
life support keeps me alive
to forgive i will never do
one last kiss is all i need from you
ride salvation goin' under
they say they say I wont survive you now
I wish i never knew you
your name is katatonia
"Her Name In Blood"
Mother Mary bury me in a place they'll never find
I kill only what I love and what I love was never mine
suffocate you outta me your the darkest of my sins
you're burnin' thru my head don't know where I begin
and where you end your breathless violence
open veins in silence and devotion sacred and devine in this love that makes me
it's the hurt that moves me to betray you evertime you pull me near
GIVE IT AWAY GIVE IT AWAY RIDE THIS BITCH TO HELL
And blow a kiss
when you only think of me
hold my hand and fuck away this blankness of expression
and all sorrows in between her name in blood
and her eyes on me her deepest secret lies
in front of me a whisper now is all that remains of me
you're the center of my unholy shrine
scar tissue in time you're all mine
your the last hint of self-control
my last chance just walked out the door
drown out your artery straight thru a love that would never be her name in blood
and her eyes on me her deepest secret lies
in front of me a whisper now is all that remains of me
this sacrament is our punishment
I am the worst part of you
you are the only thing left to burn
"Angeldust"
Broken angel you sway helpless thru the desert wind
As your enemies they come to pick your bones
You're an anomaly so graced to be a lie you told in leisurely
A passing fascination with obituary eyes
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Meticulous in ritual you made a science of your pain
Where all your bleeding hearts and hungry minds divide along the way
So in love with all you could not be forever doomed to wonder aimlessly
Never really knowing all the pain you're gonna find
So long to go
Before these alabaster hands ever let go
Swayin' in the California haze
In angel dust we all do blow away
We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on
Wasted breath in blackened lung and shortness of belief
Exercise your demons when you dream
The secrets that you keep inside are all you've ever known
Pay to ride and fuck to die reinvent another you
But that never stops that march right off the cliff in a single file
These angel wings could never take the weight of the fall
A question lost time a tasteless joke a secret smile
To fall apart an' get up again and on again
We bleed this love alive
Straight faced to suicide
When all these words mean anything?
What good will come of you and me?
Just growin' old and none the wiser
Fall apart and then your time to fall again get up again and on and on
"Lucifermotorcade"
As above then so below we celebrate the wounds that make us whole
connect the dots,divide the truth,profit from the beasts complexity
new terror new stage new end new race new face economy
program a president the model of the manufactured proof
How did we get to be so hated gather 'round the tube and wonder why
economy,spirituallity,together are void of harmony
create a god and brush the skin with the oil of a bleedin' tanker ship
lifes just a matter of who is willing to deliver the blow that'll strike you down
Crysanthemums and steelly atom bombs arise! And shape the landscape of my heart
and mind...Destruction to this hurting world
How do you want to be judged in the face of your complacency
I already know my times runnin out
So ....burn the flag of every nation state ,flood the palaces with the peoples hate
and all will be one.
"Vampires"
Some say in the darkest places, love can grow
This solitary romance we'll never know
Well it's this coffin break I'm staging to the road that leads me back to you
Will be the miracle I gave up everything to only be with you
Can't seem to shake the loneliest curse of all
Eternity with just a memory
I've seen your picture a million times three sixes and a melody of
Singing vice and a varice in tthe chains you chose to be our dress for
My funeral for two a carnival in blue
Can't seem to shake the loneliest curse of all
Eternity spent chasin' what I shun
All is ghost in memory and poison in the sun
In the sun...na na na they bury us in the sand
na na na together hand in hand
I can't seem to shake the loneliest
Curse of all eternity spent chasing what i was
All is ghost in memory and poison in the sun
"No Voice Of Mine"
the wind is shifting, somethings different in the air.
I see it in the form of choices every where
and I've been asleep a lifetime just to wake in time to find...
the voice that has been speaking for me is no voice of mine!
NOW YOU'VE JUST BEEN SPOKEN FOR !
NOW YOU'VE JUST BEEN SOLD !
my eyes fixated on the life I left behind,
a puppet dreams of being human
every time that a string gets pulled before you know, your dancin' to the lie
of someone elses vision of the perfect waisted life.........
its in the way we never seem to get it right !
a systematic form of bowin down and under,
and all we know is what we are, without the faith in WHO WE ARE
soo desperate......
somethin' here has gotta give and my instincts fill me with this dread,
that I've become what I'm tryin' to kill, that my appetite is my free will.........
THERE IS NO RIGHT, THERE IS NO WRONG, THERE IS ONLY THAT IS FOREVER GONE!
"Anna Lee"
You hold this place inside my head you're a symphony of hurt
The daylight passes through me To another crippled verse
Been here once before and I know exactly where it ends;
Right back where we started pain dead flowers on the bed
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
It's the space that scares us so
You lead me to your garden where only dead things dare to grow
You convince me I deserve the thorn you've tried so hard to show
Normalness escapes me to the point of no return
The memories around thi place keep us from movin' on
Anna Lee don't you cry for me
You're not as strong as you wanna be
In the dark we all see what we know
Its the space that scares us so The endless balmy air we breathe
This city's startin' to get to me tonight
I'll take the metro anywhere that isn't here
I find the comfort in the pain I always cause...all night
She says she might wait around for me
To come along with a promise and a dream
"Never Speak Again"
This is the alter of my downfall
a symbol of this glorious demise
Well I'm in flames and getting deeper
all contact lost is no surprise
I'm sitting here alone
the silence heavier than me tonight
A lost soul found and sold again
A broken stride reborn again
Here among these gilded pages
Now its sanctuaries one last stand
To never have to speak again
To never say your name again
To never tell another lie
to live in the honesty of the eyes
Create your own defence
and keep a secret tight
Tonight there will be no sound
In golden silence we'll be found
To never have to say goodbye
when it hurts too much to just get by
honesty will be a glace away
We're not far, don't say anything
When all the words of the poets lie meaningless
When all the trivial delusions
all lose their place in the arms of those who wonder why
nothing really matters
Tonight all be no sound
in silence we'll be found
a little less exaggerated
To never say goodbye
To never tell a lie
To never come across so jaded
To never curse your name again
To never take the blame again
To never get the last word everytime we've got nothin' good to say
"Skeletondanse"
This day we dance away through our obsession
cut away the pain with surgical presision
A static flash to burn your minds eye
emotionless in doubt
now you dont ever have to feel anything anymore
Anything anymore....
As the skeleton dance, for another chance
Another day alone with our perversions
To eat away ourselves is our religion
If you get me high I'll be right where you are
Just like everybody else, aching for a better view
You and I will scream for more
We can make this so much more
Kill the body and the head'll thrive along
Kill the body and the head'll lead you on
All the coward souls in this place we live
Reside me to wonder if this is really where we all belong
Skeletons dream of touch this close
Curiousity pushes the nail deeper
Fingertips dream of touch this close
Curiousity pushes the nail deeper
Here and now we'll scream for more
We can make this so much more
Kill the body and the head'll thrive along
Kill the body and the head'll lead you on
As the skeleton dance
"Scarlet"
Scarlet you got everything I want
You're my pistol my pollution
And my secret alibi
We got no music but we can dance around this death
Cause nothing moves you like extinction
and you know I'm always game
So let's forget the small talk
On this eve of destruction baby
hollowed be our name
this hell is where we hide
Drown with a lost soul and maybe
the eerie glare of neon will last all night
we drone on we persist without an end
we destroy all life around us
we are the beauty from within
and I been tortured by my place in all of this
but you assure me of my purpose
what we are we've always been
So lets embarace the downfall
on this eve of destruction baby
hollowed from within
we got no where to hide
Damned with no secrets and maybe
the eerie glare of heaven will shine all night
And now I watch your shaking hands
embrace the window as you stare into the light
We both know theres no escaping what we are
but we still persist and fight
On this eve of destruction baby
hollowed be our name
we are the end of days
Drown with a lost soul and maybe
the eerie glare of heaven will go on forever
"Swan Dive"
Well its hard to find the words to say, what no one would say to you when were around, the loneliest caged bird sings the saddest song, and you were never one to keep us guessing long, well if you ask me what went wrong? ill tell you nobody is doin fine, were all fucked up and doin time, the gates of Eden elude people like ourselfs, I think about you every now and then, more now than I ever did when you were down, all reservations pass when chances slip away, all songs play better from confusion, now I sit and I wounder how, everyday gets a little shorter always feel im losin out somehow, don't wanna let another day go by without creation, now if you ask what went wrong? When your fallin you're the only one that doesn't see the distance, sacrifice yourself to save yourself, now we don't always walk the line and broadcast how we hurt sometimes, and at times it seems nobody wants to know, give me some time I might remember everything you ever did or said to me.
"The Misanthropic Principle"
Look at me and say to me
without guilt or compromise
that you care about anything
that doesn't jump right in front of your eyes
We got a problem you got a problem
the mesmerizing truth
We all want the life
no one is supposed to really own
Tell me what is worth dying for?
I ask with the assumption I'll get no reply
Breathe in breathe out
sometimes I get lost within a stare
I look around and I ask myself
"Why the fuck should I even care?"
this affliction repetition
it's all been done before
while I'm sittin' here just killin' time
as the world goes along for more
Tell me what is worth dying for?
Would you give up everything to make one lasting point?
We all believe we have the right
to make believe we know what's right
but how much will it take
to make you stand and be heard?
I am the reason you are the reason
to abandon everything we have become
my eyes are wide open my heart is wide open
is your mind wide open to see?
