LYRICS: Oubliette [2009]

Oubliette

Beneath you, is a chasm I can’t understand
It feeds you, isn’t anything worth salvaging?

There’s nothing written on your face
A world in ruin laid to waste
I reach out as you slip away
Oh, promise you won’t be afraid…

All you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”
I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”


And I, I won’t say I adore you
I will not cry; I will not mourn you
And all of these lies, they’ll die before you
And you’ll be denied, well I hate to inform you
You’ll be denied…

They’ll grieve you, black and underhand like no-one here

believes you, they’re trying to run while they can barely stand

And silence greets me when I call
Been shut down now forevermore
The answers you denied them all
Are closing behind every door…

All you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”

I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”


And I, I won’t say I adore you
I will not cry; I will not mourn you
And all of these lies, they’ll die before you
And you’ll be denied, well I hate to inform you
You’ll be denied…

And silence greets me when I call
Been shut down now forevermore
The answers you denied them all
Are closing behind every door


I’m struggling now to stay afloat
I falter here with every note
The eyes all stare like I should know
The words will catch inside my throat, and -

All you can say is: “Who will miss me when I’m gone?”

I will stare out at these faces here and tell you, “Everyone”


And I, I won’t say I adore you
I will not cry; I will not mourn you
And all of these lies, they’ll die before you
And you’ll be denied, well I hate to inform you

You’ll be denied
Like a scream in the night
And all of these lies
The pain will subside, like heaven before you


Hold on
