CHELSEA WOLFE Abyss LYRICS
album: "Abyss" (2015)
Carrion Flowers
We learned how on our own
Never needing help from you
Reaching out with eyes closed
We felt the light
It taught us to grow
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on
Creatures of habit
Carrion flowers
Growing from repeated crimes
The afterglow in full bloom
Slow and relentless, we're after you
Hold on to the pain
Of love taken from you
A plague
Hold, hold, hold on
Hold, hold, hold on
*****************************
Iron Moon
A dead sun, a pale glow
Upon the walls I feign to know
We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
And we get sick but never die
Become an echo
Resounding “let go”
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I never want to see it again
I go to him in paths of dreams
In bed awake with shadow beings
They crawl inside and wait with me
The creatures here become machines
Walk with me to a place of trust
Death will no longer silence us
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I never want to see it again
And all your words could save me
But keep your love away from me
In all the world's decaying
Is there a place that’s safe for us?
My heart is a tomb
My heart is an empty room
I've given it away
I've swallowed the iron moon
Moon, moon
*****************************
Dragged Out
Baby, they don't want you
They only want to tear you apart
They believe if they drink you they'll be like you
It'll never end
The drag will keep on coming
Dragged out in the weather
Dragged out in the madness
Dragged out in your loneliness
Sometimes I want to lose my mind
Lose myself
Sometimes I want to lose my mind
Lose myself to something
To someone else
Won't you take me down?
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
Dragged out in the weather
Dragged out in the madness
Dragged out in your loneliness
*****************************
Maw
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
In the man
Shattered teeth
Underneath a
Dripping tongue
I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
Where are you?
Where are you?
In the maw
In a world so dirty
Intoxicated
A life of tears
In the maw
A world in a daze
None can be trusted
In the mouth of the beast
I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
I've been waiting
In this silence
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
*****************************
Grey Days
How many years have I been sleeping?
Nobody ever said I was alive
Why does everything feel so unnamed?
The poison inside helps me along
Grey and holy
You said it was the first time
Like the morphine
You take it all away
Pretend it's okay
The grey days
Lost inside the River Styx
I don't know where to run
No hunger, no fever, no loss, no wager
Could wake your mind
How many years have I been sleeping?
How many hours did I throw away?
Why does everything feel so unnamed?
The poison inside helps me along
Grey and holy
You said it was the first time
Like the morphine
You take it all away
Pretend it's okay
The grey days
*****************************
After The Fall
Nothing will keep us apart
I said nothing will keep us apart
I know that you'll find me there
I know that you'll find me
After the fall
I know that you're waiting
I know that you'll find me there
After the fall
I know that you're waiting
Ready to run
Chasing the sun
I can't wake up
Scream and run
Don't let them win
Nothing will keep us apart
I know that you'll find me
After the fall
I know that you're waiting
I know that you'll find me there
After the fall
I know that you're waiting
Ready to run
Chasing the sun
I can't wake up
Scream and run
Don't let them win
Nothing will keep us apart
Go on, drive into the morning
Never give up
Never give in
*****************************
Crazy Love
Crazy love, it’s not you I fear
You let the devil in
You hold him near
Crazy love
When did the war begin
When will it end
When will it end
Crazy love [x4]
And i don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
Crazy love, where is our home
Look at the place we’re in
The hell we left it in
Can we forget ourselves
Can we forgive
Can we afford the years, my lovely friend
Crazy love [x4]
I don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
I don’t want to live without you
*****************************
Simple Death
Simple death feels infinite
Compared to the end of it all
Dark, dark world
Dangerous religion
And all we have left to learn
Empty within, empty without
Surrounded and estranged
Sometimes I don't know
If I'll find the answer
Or if
I've ever asked the question
Some nights I know I'll find the answer
In silence
I hear it cry
Lost and alone in confusion
I'm screaming
But I can't wake up
We looked around
And all was dead
Our rotting bodies so deeply in love
Empty within, empty without
But a voice keeps on whispering:
Blue haze
White light
A desert storm
Midnight
Blue haze
White light
A desert storm
Midnight
The roads become rivers
The water starts to rise
Let me swim
I'm so scared to find...
Some nights I don't know
If I'll find the answer
Of if
I've ever asked the question
Some nights I know I'll find the answer
In silence
I hear it cry
Lost and alone in confusion
I'm screaming
But I can't wake up
The end of the beauty of it all
*****************************
Survive
You said you won't break my heart
Unless you do
You said you won't fall apart
Until the end
Did we travel all this way
Just to survive?
Did you stay another day?
We could survive
All the sinners and the saints
Move in the same direction
They walk in place
Until the end
Ramble on this barren place
We call our home
Dreams of endless landscapes
Morphing in love
*****************************
Color Of Blood
A hunger never satisfied
I can't keep you off my mind
Dancing, moving, passing time
Lost worlds and endless nights
I held you at a distance then
So I could keep you sacred now
I watched the veins under my skin
Moving, changing from blue to red
Those colours battle to repent
Fighting some kind of punishment
For loving you
The deathless tell me
"Go on, stay low
Grow old let your hair grow"
In sleep there is no sorrow
Slowly prolonging a cruel fate
For loving you
They hear everything
They glow with their own light
They sing out your name
A thousand times at night
Generations of sadness
Inbred and under fire
In a thousand languages
A word for this desire
For loving you
*****************************
The Abyss
Watch your thoughts in the dark
They’ll drag you down to the deep blue sea
Stare it down, the abyss
Run away, run away from it
Snuff it out at the wick
Run away, run away from it
With broken hearts, how could we fear
Anything for a thousand years
When I move it pulls me closer
When I swim it drags me under
When I dream it steals my wonder
Set me free from my slumber
Stare it down, the abyss
Run away, run away from it
It hurts to love when i remember
We were born unto chaos
When I move it pulls me closer
When I swim it drags me under
When I dream it steals my wonder
Then sets me free from my slumber
