A Peaceful Corner in A Dreadful Place

Tracklist

• 1. A Peaceful Corner in a Dreadful Place (05:58)
   copy

  Ashes fall like snow on stone
  The silence haunts this place alone
  Ruins hum their ghostly praise
  Still I rest in this darkened maze
  A peaceful rot a breathless grace
  In the hollow heart of a cursed place
  While all around me time decays
  No light remains in this dreadful place
  No path returns no voices call
  But in this ruin I feel no fall
  The end is slow and gently kind
  This corner eats what's left of mind
  The walls are soaked in silent screams
  This corner hides from darker dreams
  Where death has kissed the air to sleep
  I sit where shadows do not weep
  A peaceful corner in a dreadful place
  Where time forgets but knows my name
  No sun to warm this heavy air
  Just shadows kneeling into prayer
  Yet something kind survives the fall
  A breath a thought a thread so small
  The walls are cracked the ceilings cry
  A thousand ghosts go drifting by
  But in this corner dim and still
  I feel a hush the world can't kill
  A peaceful corner in a dreadful place where time stands still in splendid grace
• 2. Apocalypse Inside (04:54)
   copy

  A choir of voices they sing in my head
  They wear my face and they steal my tongue
  I taste the void it fills my lungs
  Black veins crawling I'm coming undone
  I slit my soul to watch it bleed
  But nothings left inside of me
  There's a war that lives inside my head
  Not one minute do I get to rest
  Bury me deep my war is done
  Apocalypse Inside I cannot hide
  My time has come I'm the broken one
  Every promise has turned to dust
  Every hope has turned to rust
  Every word has come undone
• 3. Oceans of Absence (04:27)
   copy

  A thousand miles of empty blue
  Still searching for a glimpse of you
  Oceans of absence endless and wide
  No light house to guide me tonight
  I called your name into the night
  but all I heard was the fading tide
  Save me as I trace the stars
  The currents take me far from your light
  The waters freeze I'm lost in your sea
  Would you rescue me or let me fade deep
  I called your name in to the night
  But all I heard was the fading tide
  The moon pulls me further away
  From the shore where we used to stay
  Parched with thirst I slowly drown
  In this ocean where ghosts are found
• 4. Through the Ephemeral Glow (04:18)
   copy

  The sun spills gold on city streets
  A fleeting warmth a soft reprieve
  Like a whispered promise so bittersweet
  In the moment that we all believe
  Through the ephemeral glow we chase
  A memory that we can't replace
  The moments pass like falling leaves
  And all our hearts in silence grieve
  For what we lost before it's gone
  A fragile temporary dawn
  We hold the light and we watch it fade
  In the quiet sorrow we have made
  We build our castles out of ancient sand
  And watch it crumble from our withered hands
  We etch our names upon the stone
  And watch them weather all alone
  The clock ticks out a gentle chime
  A measurement of borrowed time
  And every breath a fragile thing
  A fading echo of a song we sing
  Through the ephemeral glow

• 7. Hopes Funeral (05:25)
   copy

  The last petal has fallen a whisper of red
  A cold stone where my last dreams bled
  The promises hang like dust in the air
  Reminders of dreams that were never there
  No tears to cry no breath to sigh
  For all the wishes are buried inside
  Dig a grave deep and wide
  So broken promises can fit inside
  The air is thick with the scents of goodbyes
  Reflected in the glassy stare of my vacant eyes
  Born of light but couldn't survive the endless night
  The story's over the final verse
  and I'm left here with the universe
  Just silence now and a chilling breeze
  Blowing through the skeletal trees
  Hopes funeral a lonely affair
  Nothing left but the cold thin air
