Daylight Dies
A Frail Becoming
1. Infidel
Ghost
Passing through
...faceless fleeting
Infidel
Shadows remained
And all else
Was cast out with the tide
I dredge the depths
To find a meaning
Obscured by time
I search horizons yearning for answers
To who I am
Voices
An echo of the past
Diminishing
Leaving silence in your wake
I dredge the depths
To find a meaning
Obscured by time
I search horizons yearning for answers
To who I am
Dredging the depths
For meaning
Obscured by time
Searching horizons
For answers
I'll never find
2. The Pale Approach
Sun's warming light
Gives way to branches
Gilded in crimson and gold
A subtle chill
As shadows grow long
Autumn arrives
On wind in trees
Rust and firelight
Weave tapestries
Last glimpse of life
As color gives way
To impending gray
The pale approach
Of bitter, fucking cold
Winter arrives
On frozen leaves
Frost and candlelight
Autumn's reprieve
3. Sunset
Let's watch the sky fall
Consign to grave the dying day
In lingering amber light
An eventide's forgotten name
Yellow bleeds
Into cold gray hues
Stretched out and severing
Torn in two
Under these same skies
I lost myself
Let's watch the sky fall
Await the world to take us whole
Let's watch the sun fade
Abide in what cannot console
Yellow bleeds
Into cold gray hues
Stretched out and severing
Torn in two
Under these same skies
I lost myself
4. Dreaming Of Breathing
Hollow
Bereft of heart
Time hemorrhaging
Bleeding
Torn apart
Soul atrophied
The fires
That forged our souls
The embers have gone dark
Our eyes so blind we can't see
Our minds die as our souls weep
The life choked out by the hand that feeds
A final knife
In the back
The wound
Straight through the heart
Our eyes so blind we can't see
Our minds die as our souls weep
The life choked out by the hand that feeds
The air so thin we can't breathe
Our souls decay as our minds sleep
Our backs broken by the hands that feed
5. A Final Vestige
our dreams are ephemeral
an elusive blur
defenseless without devotion
compromised by indifference
adrift and asleep
unconscious to transgression
the noise of the world
the thief of what once defined
oceans of distractions
run rings round our eyes
awake enough to realize
we re tethered to the world
adrift and asleep
unconscious to transgression
the noise of the world
the thief of what once defined us
6. Ghosting
Saw you slipping by the way
Abiding in denial
Air that slows, with breath that weighs
Forecasting known conclusions
As we've drifted from these shores
I find there is no turning back
The winds can only carry us so far
Until they'll carry us no more
7. Hold On To Nothing
Edge of the world
Staring into the abyss
Gasping
As the hopelessness
That I have nothing more to give
When the ground
Has fallen from beneath
Grasp
At the void
As life slips from view
What remains
To hold on to
Hour of dread
Staring headlong at the end
Falling
Into nothingness
There is nothing left to lose
When life slipped from view
Nothing remained
To pull us through
8. Water's Edge
[Instrumental]
9. An Heir To Emptiness
Devoid of life
There is no light
Pursued by grief
Relentless
Undaunted
Loss of self
Into soullessness
Slipping away
To nothingness
Will to live
Cast aside
A hope
I cannot recognize
Loss of self
Into soullessness
Slipping away
To nothingness
Haunted by sorrow
And perpetual death
Pursued by grief
Through this dominion of ruin
My kingdom of emptiness
Emptiness
