about

A Faustian song about few of the certain dangers of being human, such as temptation, addiction, & death. It's also really slow

lyrics

There's a place far away where nothing seems gray
I've been there before, let me show you the door
If you're down on yourself & it seems no one will help
grab hold of my hand & I'll show you this land
There's a place time stands still so there's plenty to kill
there's no price to pay so let me show you the way

Anything you can imagine close your eyes and watch it happen

Don't you feel it all around you, can't you feel it calling your name, always the same. It holds you tightly with dark restraints, speaks to you lightly but the whispers are too faint - whispers are too faint

Can't escape - follows you close
can't escape - no turning back
can't escape - follows you close
can't escape - into the black

can't escape - ha ha
no escape - ah ah

I don' t know what I will do with my life
I don't see what you see so I cry out

There's a place you can go where nothing seems cold
don't fall far behind, let me show you your mind
if you arrive just in time for the bell's time to chime
don't follow the track, let me show you the black
