Decompose In Grace

I know there’s good in this life, seen the smiles, heard the laughter and stayed for a while
And i, i sensed some hope for my future
that's not for me, i’ve no hope left
Can’t even stand to wear this mask of a smile for the sake of anyone, anymore
I see where we’re headed, why can’t you?
Unspeakable pain killing me and you
Why play this performance when I know the end? When i know the end?
I am choosing to release myself
Finally, i have dominion over my own destiny
As i take the final step and the chair falls away
My only thought is
Please let me decompose in grace
No more waking to another day of regret, disappointments
Gone is the feeling that i’m responsible for fixing this fucked up reality
Quickly setting in, a warmth flows over me and i realize that i’ve finally found relief for the first time
And the last time

Llorona

Salías de un templo Un dia llorona, cuando al pasar yo te vi
Salías de un templo un dia llorona, cuando al pasar yo te vi
Hermoso huipil llevabas llorona, que a la virgen te creí
Hermoso huipil llevabas llorona, que a la virgen te creí
Hay de mi, de mi llorona, llorona tu eres mi chunca
Hay de mi, de mi llorona, llorona tu eres mi chunca
El que no sabe de amores llorona no sabe lo que es martirio
El que no sabe de amores llorona no sabe...lo que es martirio
Todos me dicen el negro llorona, negro pero cariñoso
Todos me dicen el negro llorona, negro pero cariñoso
Si porque te quiero me quieres llorona, ¿que quieres? ¿quieres más?
Si porque te quiero me quieres llorona, ¿que quieres? ¿quieres más?

I can’t recall the last time i felt alright
I long for relief from these endlessly restless nights
Hidden beneath the leaves, swallowed by earth, entombed in stone
My will to live is gone
I’m not really here, i’ve been leaving for some time
I’m exhausted from the prolonged strain of trying
I’ve been waiting for a glimpse of joy that never came
It may have stopped me from leaving
Hidden beneath the leaves, swallowed by earth, entombed in stone
I am the shadow in your room
Hidden beneath the leaves, swallowed by earth, entombed in stone
The light of love is gone
Hidden beneath the leaves, swallowed by earth, entombed in stone
I’m never coming home
The light of love

Is not worth it, all this pain inside
It’s simply not worth it, all these tears and lies
So if i die, tell him I tried, tell him i tried
Is not worth it...this anxiety
So much fear, fear of nothingness
So if i die tell them i tried, tell them i tried
Culpability, have you done enough?
Kneel and pray, pray your guilt away
So if i live happy and free...just let me be

You
04:50
|

|
Like a long forgotten memory From another point in time
Found its way across the void and sheltered in my mind
You, tumbling through the dark
Lit by lonely distant stars
So many echos, poor, forgotten names
Long lost forever, but you, you remain
You, tumbling through the dark
Lit by lonely distant stars
Please, take me for your own
Make this broken soul your home
Infinite space between us yet we behave as one
Mirror image of sorrow, we’ll see this world undone

Her Bones
04:53
|
|||
|
Your cold indifference Blended with the early winter rain
I held you, rigor mortis, trying to understand your pain
A cloth of gray draped over everything you see
Not interested in a life where you’ve got to keep yourself company
Her bones remain where they first lay down long ago
The rot made way for other kinds to feed and grow

Tormento
05:48

Dime amigo, ¿porque estas llorando?
No me digas que me amas, que me estas matando
Las promesas olvidadas se han quedado
Y juramentos ahora se convierten en cadenas de infierno...No!
Dime amigo si aun me estas pensando
El rose de tus labios en mis manos
Se impregnó como memoria en mi alma
Y ahora me persiguen entre sueños que me asfixian el alma...no!
Dime amigo, ¿cómo es que me deshago
de tu fantasma que me sigue a cada rato?
Si es posible que me quiten esta carga
Porque nunca se me olvida ni tu nombre ni tu piel ni tu cara...No!

Misery Of Moments
06:12
|

What is it that binds us to our failing flesh?
The fear that suffering goes on after death
And what becomes of those we leave behind?
Our light slowly dims as we fade in their minds
Thrust into consciousness
Torn from the void
Bathed in iniquity and left to drown
Maybe it will end the next time around
I call for an oblivion which never can be found
I am departing, it’s that moment when
All hesitation leaves on funeral winds
My body, my burden, my vessel of pain
Face down in the garden under cold autumn rain
I wrote you a letter that you’ll never read
Penned with the rot of an old lifeless tree
Buried in shadow and quick to decay
My final moments on my dying day
Imagine each moment just dripping with dread
Love always leaving through a hole in my head
Gone is the guilt that was making me stay
I want no forgiveness for leaving you this way
Death brought me solace
she’s quick and she’s kind
Away from this misery of moments in time
