Lyric

How could you fall back on your word?
There was nothing you couldn't do
The police cars are all around us
And on the next street, nothing moves
Nothing moves

Step through these doors, there's no choice left
Open your mouth and see right through
All the shadows and total darkness
To all the things you'll never do
No one moves

Do you feel trapped under my thumb
And as if you got nothing to lose?
You know it all and I am frightened
By your silence and all it proves
No one move

Perdre

Rest is like death I'm led to think
As fast and painless and soft as a wink
Trapped behind my eyelids in infinite black
With things I must long for but ever lack
I'm weary of prayer, of searching, of needing
I'm sick of the failures of my everlasting being
If nothing comes quick or easy or free
Then I'll sleep better knowing death lusts for me
My dark angel draws close, spreads wide her wings
Bearing witness of the longing inside temporal things
But fate for humans is brief and small
The sting lingers so close and in the minds of all
I do not fear you, death, I speak directly to thee 
All I wanted was you to at last choose me
