KATATONIA LYRICS

1. Teargas


Why have you put so many things into my eyes
(that I can't see clear)
Who's paid you for telling me what I'm worth
(and run in fear)
It has been for me a strain to see already
(what have you done)
The rising noise
The sharpened smells
The deadened sight

What is it in my eyes
A piece of broken glass
Is this the time I should be on my knees for you
Is this your way of telling
Another has been found
Now I know it's teargas in my eyes

What is it in my eyes
A piece of broken glass
Is this the time I should be on my knees for you
Is this your way of telling
Another has been found
Now I know it's teargas in my eyes

What is it in my eyes
A piece of broken glass
Is this the time I should be on my knees for you
Is this your way of telling
Another has been found
Now I know it's teargas in my eyes...


2. Right Into The Bliss


By a black road
Giving a brief smile
Something's on the way
Forgotten for a while
And you try to speak this
Without a voice down by a black road
We try to forget and try to make it through

Someday we'll go
Further from this right into the bliss
Some night we'll try
To leave this place for another

They keep pushing me
So far from every chance
Makes it so much harder
For me to carry on
So I try to speak this
Without a thought down by a black road
We try to forget and try to make it through


3. Criminals


The way the light hits the road
The way I am unable to protect you
O I'm running away
I will never forgive myself
For running away from you

He came back to your house
I didn't take it as a promise
Always thought it was a lie
He went too far the fucker
It's not like I owe him money
This is different

So gather your strength and break free
Or you will surely die
Gather your strength don't follow me
'Cause I will surely die

The way my eyes cannot move
The way I hope to be protected
And for one moment I thought
That I was lost among the lights of houses

My dreams of violence
See them coming true


4. Help Me Disappear


To completely dissolve,
What method is used
I cannot sleep,
My hands are bruised
There's a hole in the wall,
Torn up anew
One dead eye,
The colour of you

To vanish for life
And promise to stay
Away from the knowing,
Bird in a cage
I'd give so much
For the courage to go
If I ask for your help,
Then you will know

So help me disappear
Or to believe in a change
No way out of here
That I can see
Or the nightmares that burn
Into my head at night
Make them disappear
So I can breathe

Looked out the window twice,
Just to be sure
That noone was standing
Outside the door
But it's just as calm
As it was before
They're all gone now,
Not there anymore

Isolated myself
For the sake of freedom
I clenched my fist
For the sake of kindness
I read a book full of strange words
Loneliness is a disease


5. Nerve


High white ways
Shattered by rain
Pale dead walls
Nerves pushed in pain
Red light faced
Mirrors of the dead
People in the archways
Eyes full of lead

Always closing down myself
Lower sights and never see
Worlds of noise and worlds of light
Expecting not to be
Not close enough for you
To hear a breath or steal a sigh
But just close enough for me
To take a step and pass you by


6. The Future Of Speech


My prospects have become less promising
I find it hard to believe in anything
Seems I lost my world and so I lost my faith
And I can't go back to where I've been

A brand new day
It can't get worse
Hear myself say
It can't get worse

I have no lies or truth in what I say
There is no meaning
The words are numb and I am so afraid
There is no meaning

This is another chance or so I'm told
By those who can push themselves at any cost
They bless me with their fingers crossed
My youth is stolen, transformed and sold


7. Ghost Of The Sun


The thin darkness here
Not strong enough to make you appear
I once changed my style
When they said hello I said goodbye
I once played a role
I was out there marketing my soul

The city of glass that I live in
The coldness from my brothers skin

I trusted you you lied
It's all I hear a fucking lie
I don't give a shit it's over now
It's all I know you broke the vow

Truth is I have seen it come
Seen the ghost of the sun
Can't have it undone
In time we all call out for relief
See two lovers meet
Pass you on the street


8. I Am Nothing


Tonight I'm nothing
It doesn't matter where I've been
Delay of reaction is
The unseen movie of this life

I remember one of my friends
Telling me to go ahead

Water on every side
There's a dead spot in my eye
If I listen close at night
There's something coming my way

Like someone called my name
But I didn't care to look that way
I just fixed my eyes into the crowd
It would have been strange to turn around

If you would tell me that I was someone
Then for a second I would think
Just like I would try to consider
How it would feel to know

I have to get on with this
It's a decision for tonight
Out to look for chances
It is murder of my mind

Once I was someone new
I was chosen for a while
Then with time I am changing
At least that is what they say

What is worth with being here
I pray so often for a change


9. Deadhouse


Somehow better without this
Headlights fuck the city
Somewhere I'm broken
No sensations nevermore

What do you say when you speak
I sense no time
Discouraged television sleep
Not awake until it's dark

Somehow I never leave
This deadhouse
Somehow I don't mind being gone
And if you think you've seen me
I have to prove you
That you're wrong


10. Passing Bird


She's got black hair
And she has got a black dress
She's pretending
That her life is a mess
But I cannot rest
With so many worries
I can't lie down
And say I am done

I live 'cause I need more light
I hope I can change today
She would never think of changing
Too much fucking emo, it's false (I know)

She stops me in the street
And asks me to follow

I would if I could
If I wouldn't mind breaking her.


11. Sleeper


O my your fever's high
I lay my hands upon you
O my haven't you heard
The truth is untrue

Now I'm breathing
I could not breath until you did
I'm one second after you
Just a second after you

Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you
What does he want from you

Sleeper what did you see
I close the window to the street
Paren't died and left their child
Unattented for a while

Sleeper's song will you listen to me sing
The bird is here I can see the edge of his wing
If you die now how can I then live on
Don't give up you must live on


12. Sulfur


I'm drawing back time
To feel things once again
As when I had found them

I saw you grow older
Saw myself grow older too
But not as much as you
If I only knew

I had sulfur in my heart
But not enough strenght to give it a spark
I didn't know when to start
When we were bright or when we were dark
I had a wind in my chest
Blew as hard as it ever could
I could have written books for you
If I only knew

I held my head down I know
And you walked around in circles
I'm sure you already knew
If I only knew it too

So much I want to ask you
You have no time to let me do so
There is no light in my pathway
You must tell me where to go


13. No Devotion


I've turned down all devotion
I'm so far from being here
Can't bring forth more power
Than I have already done

Tonight I'm trying
And I see all dread in me

But then I lose again
All hope of being someone
This lack of devotion
Will put me to an end

So if you want to save me
And stop me when I run
Just tell me that I'll have now
A day less to live when I'm done


14. Chrome


The walls are painted
Different every second
My eyes are of chrome
It is television

Can't let go of my leg
It's itching and bleeding
Layer by layer
I'm peeling away

Burn down my house
And make something happen
Stab me in the heart

And make something stop
'cause I am so distracted
I am slightly shocked
By how things can keep going
Like a dead man's clock

A mirror is hanging
Kinda loose on my wall
I'm passing it sideways
I'm saying hello

My brother is halfways
Through a book I've left him
Called me today
To see what I'd say


15. A Premonition


Stand aside now no one will survice can't tell you how I know
In some time I will change my name and lay low
In the light you can see me walk down by the way
The one who did this to us well he got away

Keep it quiet here I will not tolerate your noise
This is where I listen for the forgiving voice

It haunts my dreams


16. Dispossession


It is to see a traitor go free
It is to feel a filter in me
It is to leave the lights that I saw
It is to ask: is it easy to go?

In this dead hour
Here with you
Seconds are worthless
In this dead hour
When all is blank
Minutes are worthless

How long will it take until
There will be room enough for hope
It is so sad to see
Dispossession
It has become my obsession

It is to have a knife in my back
It is to say my soul got a crack


17. Cold Ways


I can't do what you do
I'm just able to tear it down yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether

Twisting names inside of me
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun

In your eyes
You're alive
But in my eyes
You're a lie

You can't do what I do
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether

In my eyes
You're the lie


18. Nightmares By The Sea


[By Jeff Buckley]

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore she wonders

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their mind's eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well were you'll go

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all
From their coral graves they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones they'll scratch the window
I hear them call

"Don't know what you asked for"
"Don't know what you asked for"

Stay with me under these waves tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight


19. Oh How I Enjoy The Light


[Written by Will Oldham]

It's us I liken to a covey
A polar bear has breached a pup
The palace walls are
Strewn with tapestries
And the window panes are
Splintered and shattered
With a crumbled dog
On every landing
And every stranger cowers
The dress is torn,
The tone demanding
The canine's latent strength

And would her loins
Would yield a yelp
A beating purr to steal the
Time with
Here's where we walk,
Hand in hand
O how I despise it
O how I enjoy the light
Of the first morning forever
Wisdom, wealth tag
On like afterbirth
I will love you forever

And if I don't
And if I do
The difference exists in a
Fiction
The day has cooled,
The time will too
And we will call upon the light


20. Evidence


I hold my breath and check the time
One minute no collapse
If you only knew what I would do for you
One thirty breathing lapse
We're going in my voice is thin
When I tell you to remember
That no one will find you
My promise from the heart
If we part my pulse will guide you through

Be still for a moment
Everything depends upon you
If you die I will die too
Once we were heroes
But everything has changed since then
Now they recognize you too

I stay too long something's wrong
You walk out of the picture
I hold my breath and check the time
One thirty I collapse
We went in my voice was thin
When I told you to remember

I'm the evidence
You passed the test and that's so good for you
O love will you read the letters I will send to you
Will I come along
Will they let me out to take the test
O love is the score enough for me to pass the test


21. March 4th


Left with spring alone
I withdraw from this
I lived so differently
It wasn't good enough

I was with you alone
Winter was gone

Things once blurred are twice sharpened
When I think of what I could have
Blood has left me even before you
Can never return a second time

I lived so differently
Did it all for it
But everything is now
A film on rewind


22. I Break


Sounds of imbalance
Sleeps through the never
The artificial lightsource
Is creeping with flies

And this time I break
I will never make
Another day
Defiant to what's delivered

I will find a way
To sever myself
Exit all today
You can't see this
Did you ever say
I break sever
I will find a way
Visit me when I'm there

The weakness of hope
Is the strength of decline
Remember what's past ways
And what I've become
The joy of not being
Something I need
I'm only weather
But only to me


23. For My Demons


Well I'm here
And summer is gone I hear
So pray for me
As I now leave your town
When did I say this
I will never leave
I can't recall this
Moment in my life

You would never sleep at night
If you knew what I've been through
And this thought is all I have
To trust upon when light is gone

My problem was
That you kept me here too long
And today is when
We'll regret that I came by
When did I say this
I will never leave
I can't recall this
Moment in my life

Life is full of darkness
And murderers come my way
Someday you will join them
And I will let you in


24. Omerta


Come by you have come far
All I had I lost in the flood
Come sit with me at the bar
Tell me of progress strengthen my blood
No one here knows my name
I have traded my memories for things
But I remember you clearly
Do you remember that I used to sing

Why have you waited so long

Come by you have come far
Long since I saw you so how have you been
Come sit with me at the bar
How long since they told you that they had found him
No one here knows my name
I gave up my worries for one good thing
But I remember you clearly
Do you remember that I used to sing

Was it because I never told you
I was going away
That you waited so long
Was it because your fucking dreams
Meant nothing to me
That you waited so long

It runs from the top of my fingers
Into my hands
What is it I have been drinking
I do not understand
I thought I'd lost you my brother
I'm so glad you came
My regards to the ones that I love I miss them
Tell them I love them I miss them


25. Tonight's Music


Who could call my name without regretting
Who could see beyond this my darkness
And for once save their own prayers
Who could mirror down just a little
Of their sun

How could this go so very wrong
That I must depend on darkness
Would anyone follow me further down
How could this go so very far
That I need someone to say
What is wrong
Not with the world but me

Who could call my name without regretting
Who could promise to never destroy me
Tonight my head is full of wishes
And everything I drink is full of her


26. Stalemate


What am I supposed to be
In my life
In your life
In our life
In this life

In shut the door and close my sight
At the end of the day

It's not the way that it used to be
There's no way I'll see
The beginning of things to come
Trapped in the ways of the weak


27. Wait Outside


I burn the bridges behind me
Can't tell you the truth so I lie
I'm waving at someone behind you
I filter my eyes when I look at the sky

Time to lose
Tell them everything
Say I lost my light
Your word means everything
I cannot say it right
I withdraw
Lost my everything
My vision is unclear

Wait for me outside
Will you hold on
Can you hold on


28. Fractured


Knew I would fall if I tried
So I held back for a while
You pushed me so hard, I had to go
I tried to be strong, then I failed

I would like to say this
Just in case you didn't know

Well your soul is fractured
I know what it's like as well
I have sold my soul
I traded it for hollow gold


29. Sweet Nurse


O my sweet nurse
Pull the curtain aside for a while
So that I can for once have
The sun in my eye
You smile and say
It's a fine day

O my sweet nurse
Pull the curtain aside for a while

Then like a ghost at night
You come around all dressed in white
Talking to me
And so I have to drink
The water with your poison spilled
For no more will

O my sweet nurse
Seems you have so little time
That you rather put
Me to sleep than sit by my side


30. Black Session


I sense infliction in the air
It's only me
I'm fucking up old times
It's a remembrance

O this
Black session in my mind
O the black

I was too weak to fight
Once more I let go
It is a black session
An invitation of sorts

I keep on living in this my only wish
That life will be good someday
I keep on losing my sleep because of this
Seems so hard just to stay

So if you come by just this last time
I'll be here
And I will talk to you like
If this had never been

O this
Black session in my mind
O the black
