Skeleton contorted by wind that shapes me
Skin hardened by the bitter kiss of winter
Light shines through the bare bones of yesterday
and I know there’s hope for tomorrow
Lights are on, cold caress of a new day in my lungs
Trees stand like bones across the blue sky
This is all I ever wanted, as it turns out this is all I’ll ever need
I ache, pins and needles
Won’t stop, days slip by
But the promise of tomorrow keeps me breathless
Trudging through my clouded mind
Worthless to the thoughts in my head
Ice filled lashes
Cold burned faces
Pale wrists
I know there’s beauty in this,
but I can’t see it in the dark
These nights are too long
Dry skin breaks as I clench my fists
The trees are baron,
just like the days going by
The shadows shrink as the light grows stronger
Those lonely nights staring into the abyss
Something keeps me from slipping,
three words in my head…

I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
