Auctioned Lyrics - Dark Tranquility

outsmart the fever 

and take us farther from 

the killing life in capsules 

a life that can't belong 

so if I wake up dead to the world 

with the helm at my command 

the reaching out of this 

faced tomorrow in the 11: th hour 

beckoned closer 

now as nightfall sends it's grace 

cue to enter the insatiable ideal 

slam it shut but the portal pounding lingers 

what is it; is time undone 

cannot falter in the security of labour 

was I supposed to believe? 

where did I sign 

did I miss the auction where my life went under the club? 

went the half mile 

wondered when the resolution would come 

life became too solid 

diluted by the essence of denial 

caught in fire's eye 

the self and filter that is I 

my lip was venom 

words formed in my mouth 

hid beneath the tounge 

never to be seen
