Lyrics of Graphic by Earth Caller
The walls are closing in
Your mind is wearing thin
The dark has cast you out
The sun can′t see you now
The walls are closing in
Your blood is running empty (you're running empty)
The dark has cast you out
The sun can see you now
Promised you′d be devout
Your son won't see you now
Cut it out, cut it loose, try to get your head out the noose
You think you only got this far on your own
Try to breathe, air is thin, put the needle back in your skin
You'll get a taste for all the torture you′ve done
Desert fires and empires fall
The rooms are entombed by the curtains you′ve drawn
To hide, to hide the silent side
The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
In the rooms of the house
Thick doors to block the shouts
Paint is thick, windows black
Bruised and peeling from attack
Everyone knows (everyone knows!), you're doing it again
Your money′s gone (your money's gone!), now you live in your sin!
Bleeding out, bleeding through
Put a little salt in the wound
Your circumstances are changing for good
Suffer now, suffer you, something we will no longer do
Smile on your throat from ear to ear
Desert fires and empires fall
The rooms are entombed by the curtains you′ve drawn
To hide, to hide the silent side
The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
The man slithers upstairs
Stomps the ground as he wakes
His gaze is red as he glares
Son holds his mother as she shakes (mother as she shakes!)
The room shrinks, the cold rises
So does the son when the moment arises
Son picks up all that he's got
Presents to the man and the men gets (that′s a bit graphic)
Oh!
Desert fires and empires fall
The rooms are entombed by the curtains you've drawn
To hide, to hide the silent side
The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
Desert fires and empires fall
The rooms are entombed by the curtains you've drawn
To hide, to hide the silent side
The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
