lyrics
It’s the situation.
It’s the lonely way I find meaning.
It’s the way the days end and I take
My thoughts and arrange their capture
Finding their flaws, lair by lair,
And make a mountain out of insecurities
And wonder why I’m not a conqueror for someone
And wonder maybe that I am.
Then I consider how ludicrous this is:
Me, wandering alone, inside the mirror—
Recognizable without the mystery.
Then I consider how ludicrous this is:
Me, wondering, alone, in front of the mirror—
Recognizable without the mystery.
Under covers I think of you
And I know that it’s not your fault.
You’ve done nothing wrong to be in my heart.
It’s the lonely way I find meaning.
It’s the way the days end and I take
My thoughts and arrange their capture
Finding their flaws, lair by lair,
And make a mountain out of insecurities
And wonder why I’m not a conqueror for someone
And wonder maybe that I am.
Then I consider how ludicrous this is:
Me, wandering alone, inside the mirror—
Recognizable without the mystery.
Then I consider how ludicrous this is:
Me, wondering, alone, in front of the mirror—
Recognizable without the mystery.
Under covers I think of you
And I know that it’s not your fault.
You’ve done nothing wrong to be in my heart.

"[P]owerfully
moody soundscapes from this excellent group that successfully mines the thoughtful melancholy of bands like Katatonia, Porcupine Tree and Riverside but with their own unique spin including great use of violin and acoustic guitars to really add drama to their music." – ProgMetalZone
