Burst / The Ocean

Air filled with sand lashing in my face I can't see you fifteen feet away I can hear you somewhere in the distance I have lost you The air is filled with sand Eroding my skin I can smell you in the air I'm breathing I can feel you everytime I'm falling I can taste you You're the sand I'm eating I can't kill you The air is filled with sand Eroding my skin All trees cast their leaves when you're around All colors grow pale, all tones lose their sound Air filled with sand It's eroding my skin All wheels stop turning Now take the night-bus and begin all over again Some things fade faster than you would believe Some memories sway your thoughts for a while Yet some might be etched into your skull so deeply they'll never grow pale Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster Don't want you to see the state I'm in Where do I end, where do you begin? Air filled with sand It's eroding my skin All wheels stop turning Now take the night-bus and begin all over again Sliding deeper and deeper into disaster I'm on the speed-ramp going faster and faster... Lets stay in bed today The sun ain't shining anyway Completely knocked out, unable to move Dwelling in daydreams, I'm closer I'm closer to you I enwrap myself in black sheets To match the sky I no longer want to see The bitterness in your eyes You start killing the flies You start killing the flies This is the imperative of devotion: A command to consistent actions To defend our most heartfelt convictions Against attempts of self-protection To cut them down to size of reason What we feel is true I can't abandon you I lost something forever in you It all breeds only pain though I can't discard it Can't rid of myself of you without betraying my heart
