Lyrics: YuShien Athina Kosmas
Music: YuShien Athina Kosmas
When the sun
Starts to set and
We’re left traceless
No one recognises
Inner faces, trees
Sway side to side
And winds are raging
A swarm of parasites
That feed on patience
I don’t think i’ll
Make it, i can’t
Sink, i’ll face it
Writing in the
Basement, melancholic
Waves i wash my
Face in, racing
Up the snake hill
Waiting ‘till the
Rain hits all these
Words i’ve wasted
Need so much
Translation, so i
Paint it, can you
Trace it? are there
Common places
To take me
Grab my last rations
Of sin for the night
Baby, lapse into my
Time, before memories
Begin to unwind
Rushing out
Mundane desires
It’s dire, crawling out
Of the wires - can’t stop
This crying, oh i’m tired
Why the stars seem to
Keep getting much higher
Than before
I’m falling
Mi amore
He wanting more
Knees down
Crawling on
The floor
Thought it was
One step more
Shedded skin stuck
To my soles, rotten
Memories, what pain
Is taking control
Thought it was
Hoped it was
Just one, just one
Step more
When the sun
Starts to set and
We’re left traceless
No one recognises
Inner faces, trees
Sway side to side
And winds are raging
A swarm of parasites
That feed on patience
I don’t think i’ll
Make it, i can’t
Sink, i’ll face it
Writing in the
Basement, melancholic
Waves i wash my
Face in, racing
Up the snake hill
Waiting ‘till the
Rain hits all these
Words i’ve wasted
Need so much
Translation, so i
Paint it, can you
Trace it? are there
Common places
To take me
Baby, escape me
Shells are what
They see, oh baby
Don’t hate me
Embrace me
Please, save me
Baby, escape me
I’m left traceless
Traceless
What’s a journey of self discovery worth
In a world so big - we barely exist
Do we ever reach the top of this hill
We’ve carved of our own dead skin cells?
The exact layers that have
Been shed along the way on a
Seemingly immortal, yet mortal journey
We walk in illusion
