Talk to me For this is the end Say it out loud Don't do this again Talk to me Nothing unsaid Twist this knife Do anything Talk to me We both know We can't stay To grow old The last day I sense something Pulling us here An outsider Within myself Yet I try To stay awake And you show up With empty hands Talk to me Till nothing is left Twist this knife Do anything We both know We can't stay To grow old The last day Talk to me

Awake 03:35
Awake In the morning light Awake Yet one more day To walk With these human forms More shadows than light Who are you even trying to be? Where are you even trying to go? Always so unremarkable Your mind keeps on running To nothing Breathing But not alive Eyes open but you can't see You walk Thinking you'll get somewhere When you don't know where to go Who are you even trying to be? Where are you even trying to go? Always so unremarkable Your mind keeps on running This is not who you're supposed to be This is not where you're supposed to go You chose to be unremarkable Down a path that leads To nothing It leads to nothing To nothing It leads to nothing Asleep In the morning light Asleep yet one more day To walk with your eyes shut tight A shadow in the light You walk Knowing you'll get nowhere Your path leads to nothing

In Solitude 02:30
I cannot help it Drawn in by your ways Staring into the empty Silent eyes that keep me awake Those were quiet days Make the years before you fade Standing in the corner (ah ah ah) In solitude Does it make you shake? Or was I another left to wane Will you make this go away? I know a bleak end awaits Strayed by my thoughts I lost my sense In solitude Betrayed by your voice I roam the streets In solitude Standing in the corner (ah ah ah) Standing in the corner Are there any quieter days? I'll be right here In solitude Standing in the corner (ah ah ah) Standing in the corner (ah ah ah)

Is this what freedom feels like? Will there be more to come? What possessions? Meaningless echoes A painful truth to seek Too bad I don't care for the afterlife I have nothing to leave behind In this moment I am destroyed Destroyed Destroyed I am destroyed Destroyed I am destroyed What I couldn't be Despite all this time I will never be What was expected of me I see the sky It opens itself to me A speck of dust In this moment I am destroyed Destroyed Destroyed I am destroyed Destroyed I am destroyed

I am sorry Color me the way you want Say the things you wish I want you to want me Undo all of me Dreams that could never be I want you to want me Even the things that hurt Anything you wish I will not walk away I am your disease I will not walk away I am your disease You can pull me apart Take me anywhere I want you to need me Down on my knees Free from my will I want you to need me Even the things that hurt Anything you wish I will not walk away I am your disease I will not walk away I am your disease Tell me you want me back Color me the way you want Say the things you wish Even the things that hurt I want you to want me Anything you wish I want you to need me I will not walk away I am your disease I will not walk away I am your disease

Bitter End 03:28
Can you tell? Can you see? From that far what's become of me If you want Oh come closer You can take another look at me Don't you fear No don't fear Remember the way that we used to be And I sense Yes I sense You have changed You will never be the same You make my heart ache You make my heart break I can never be the same A bitter end that I crave This tale of us finds its way to the end Holding on to this life that couldn't be You thought you would never face this day I came closer, and saw your ways Can you tell? Can you see? Now I see what's become of me You make my heart ache You make my heart break I can never be the same A bitter end that I crave I make my own heart ache I make my own heart break A bitter end that I crave
7.
Insanity 04:07
Insanity Say no more Come back to me Say no more I'm Falling I'm falling Say no More I'm falling Say no More I'm falling Say no More I'm falling Say no More I'm falling Sway To this violence Stay In its light Fall And say no more Embrace This nothingness Crave The suffering What else Does it mean to live? Crave Crave What else does it mean to live? Crave

No Restraint 03:07
Let me turn the page back For all that was of me Has come undone Places I have been Burn down to nothing Six feet under So, I walk Aimlessly Into the night Faces passing by Smoke in the air All those blinding lights They creep on me Where am I? There's no sign Which way now? How many more times? Smiles That fade away Touch That never will be Memories Made up of lies Ink bleeds To remind me No restraint Smiles That fade away Touch That never will be Memories Made up of lies Ink bleeds To remind me They creep on me All those blinding lights They creep on me

about

A Quieter Life is a reflection on the complexity of relationships in the modern age, where loneliness prevails though we are connected to the world at any give time. The album explores the difficulty of feeling in a world that is sterile and bleak.
