Erode - The Northern

Screaming

The droning noise

The light that once shined has faded and died

Low

Soothing and calm

His hollow look is haunting

And I’m too weak to run

But part of me can’t help but feel

That I belong

My will to stay has changed;

The prison in my mind withdrawn

Keep this close to your heart again

Keep taking your medicine

Keep thinking that you are the one to be saved

I hope these words find you in time

And when you fall back to him again

You’ll see that this cycle has made you a slave

Your faith is gone

You hope and pray for better days

But praying’s never good enough

Bow down, bow down

Your days are numbered now

Your book won’t lead to better days

Filled with outdated ideals

Gasping for breath

I don’t know what is real

Between the lines

The stories now unclear

Hold my breath and try to pray today

Its too late

I guess I can’t be saved

Its time to wake up

Keep this close to your heart again

Keep taking your medicine

Keep thinking that you are the one to be saved

I hope these words find you in time

And when you fall back to him again

You’ll see that this cycle has made you a slave

Its time to wake up

Bring this to an end

Its time to wake up

Live your life again
