lyrics

Desolation Tongues
Dead silence,
Explodes like a bomb in my mind,
No one speaks,
And there is no one to be left behind again,
No one to be left behind.
Towers loom,
and colonies of black holes collide.

Into a daydream,
About all the thoughts in your mind
You're in love with another,
And you daydream about the thoughts
In their mind,
I am struck by the gravity you leave behind,
Contained a picture of beauty that pixels won't synthesize.

No one spoke the truth but no one here lied.
No one spoke the truth but no one here lied.
Desolation tongues echo in the quiet,
All alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone it's just silence.

This sadness.
Occurs like something in mind,
No one speaks,
and there is no one to be left behind again,
No one to be left behind.
It doesn't break my chest,
And colonies collide.

No one spoke the truth but no one here lied.
No one spoke the truth but no one here lied.
Desolation tongues echo in the quiet,
Desolation tongues echo in the quiet,
Moving over oceans with no end in mind,
Mouthfuls of salt water just to decline,
My heart won't die, so I'll destroy it in time,
Rotting in the air,
all alone, alone, alone, it is just quiet.
