lyrics

Cry like a river and don't rock the boat.
Send out some shivers just to keep it afloat.
Don't rock the boat.
I heard you begging, but you can't come in.
Then I saw you grinning.
It was ugly as sin.
No you can't come in.

Leave your message on the side here.
Leave it just to let me know.
Send me the reason why
And wake me when you go.

Stall your little engine and keep out of my way.
Well, maybe just tonight then, but I can't let you stay.
So keep out of my way.
Climbing into everywhere and crawling down my spine.
Shivering forever, but I won't make you mine.
Crawling down my spine.

Could you come closer, if I would go away?
Would you leave us alone, y'know just for today?

Would you leave us alone in a little while?
Get off the runway, try and gather up a smile
And don't come back if we say nothing
Don't come back if we just look
We'll look away, now we don't say
We'll look away.

A song of hellfire and void devourment. Neurosis is untouchable. If atmospheric ruin is what you desire, then become an enemy of the sun. Grimmrobe
