Faces Without Names

(album: Amongst The Low & Empty - 2023)

Bound to lifeless possessions

I see them
Dissolving into the walls
Enticed by my pain
Hidden behind
A silver veil
Controlling with no name

Dragging my lifeless torso
With no more time left to borrow
Thrown into the darkness once again
This pain has no end

Cursed
To these faces without
Names
Cold apparitions of endless pain

In the darkness
There's nothing left
But wasted breath
From when I once surrendered
I once surrendered

I'm prepared to die
As I still stand in silence

Apparitions pulling my strings
A lifeless puppet
Like a cello in my throat

I am prepared to die
Cursed to your hand
Damned until my death
Lurking beneath my every breath

In the darkness
Perfect aligned
I've seen these faces a thousand times
I hear them

They whisper, beckon and call
They take what remains
Shadow of time
Ashes inhaled
Controlling with no name

Thrown
Into the darkness once again
This pain has no end

Cursed
To these faces without
Names
Cold apparitions of endless
Pain
Etched into these faces without
Names
Cold apparitions of endless pain
