Cabin Fire / Love Is a Black Widow split

by Various Artists

/
1.
Do you remember when the river dried and brought the hard times? They remembered it then and they remember it now But even if it floods, the wounds will still be sore It will take more than a drink to forget the past
2.
So, here we stand, backs to the North The pitch white of our progress measured in inches, while the rest of the world compares in feet “We had our time, but this is the end” We have our legacy to uphold For the fear of change grips our bones and the bones of our sons
3.
As sinners who sinned before us The old timers longed to see us healed Mouthing to the rest, “Get out of here and don't you dare turn around and come back,”* they echoed our gospel We continue to fill our sores with the grit of their resolve, hoping to see them heal *There Will Be Blood
4.
Legion of shadows World of decay Paranoid delusions Can't get away Lights in the sky Draw the clear path Roads in this life Lead only to ends I can feel it But I can't see it I can't hear it I can't touch it Days spent in limbo Nerve endings gone numb Escape this worthless body Nothing else to be done Bent over backwards trying to shut out the truth Now it consumes me everywhere I look Nothing is real Nothing left to lose
5.
Heartbeat races Running out of rope Need some relief Nowhere to go Trace that face on the ceiling In an image as real as it could ever be Ambitions die Run away again Find a new option Anything to hope in It's not enough It will never be enough Head fucking hurts I've run out of rope Always letting myself slip Nowhere to go Nothing is permanent Except this tightness in my chest
6.
Helpless and scared Sick from the trying Hopeless and alone Have to keep running The wailing is on its way Rising up in my chest It's only a matter of time Before the peaceful moment ends Panic is back Eating up my veins Tearing out my insides Leaving on the empty space The dying words Of a better time Petals left alone To whither and dry Stem wilts and decays into the earth Last chances sink in to the cold hard dirt The rain created a poetic frame The problem is things don't end that way Sometimes the answers aren't there No matter how we strain to find them
7.
What brings me to this place A legacy of aimless drifting Why do I persist in searching When there's no light at the end to guide me on my way Inch along the walls Guided by the grooves No concept left Of space or distance I'm choking on old hope My memory is failing me Sight has failed me Sound has failed me Nothing weighs down on my shoulders Nothing weighs down on my feet Nothing weighs heavy on my mind Recollection has failed me The finite is collapsing around my shapeless figure Rendered invisible by the vast expanse The earth opens up to swallow me whole Becoming one with the void again Returning home again
8.
Fractured image Evening drags on Sun comes up Another day lost Searching for a solution In a digital past Can't find surer footing Need a place to rest Another fractured image Again evening drags on Another sun comes up Again a day lost The cycle will continue Until we put it to an end Old dead words Rattle around inside our heads The ache will continue Until we put it to an end Choking on memories Better left untapped I was hoping that I could help you heal And you could help me heal And tomorrow could be brighter Tomorrow could be Naale Empty frame Survive the day Naale Carve out a new hope Find a way Naale Tomorrow
