Dark Tranquillity - Static lyrics

nothing of a man was he

his true face of sleep a deception

fell through all the way to the bottom

learned to hold

again we vowed not to hold sacred

but to damn that hollow gaze

unsteady on these shorelines

mute to an unthought scream

another word fell silent

like the static in their eyes

against all fleeing logic

we let our minds go

blank

why define ourselves by misguiding light?

how can we receive the static in their eyes

each blink of light an accuser

each unlit shape an assassin

crawled the outer rim

with his back exposed

the shadows unending

fought off the stares

again we vowed not to hold sacred

but to damn that hollow gaze

unsteady on these shorelines

mute to an unthought scream

another word fell silent

like the static in their eyes

against all fleeing logic

we let our minds go

blank

nullify the ego, stay right back

stay right back

how can we receive

the static?

fear that strangles spirit

denial speaks the truth

fear that strangles spirit

crushes me and you

wicked are the senses, wicked are the words

give me the static

again we vowed not to hold sacred

but to damn that hollow gaze

unsteady on these shorelines

mute to an unthought scream

another word fell silent

like the static in their eyes

against all fleeing logic

we let our minds go

blank
