Static Lyrics - Exposures - In Retrospect And Denial - Dark Tranquility

Nothing of a man was he 

His true face of sleep, a deception 

Fell through all the way to the bottom 

Learned to hold 

Again we vowed not to hold sacred 

But to damn that hollow gaze 

Unsteady on these shorelines 

Mute to an un-thought scream 

Another word fell silent 

Like the static in their eyes 

Against all fleeing logic 

We let our minds go blank 

Why define ourselves 

By misguiding light? 

How can we receive 

The static in their eyes? 

Each blink of light, an accuser 

Each unlit shape, an assassin 

Crawled the outer rim 

With his back exposed 

By the shadows unending 

Fought off the stares 

Again we vowed not to hold sacred 

But to damn that hollow gaze 

Unsteady on these shorelines 

Mute to an un-thought scream 

Another word fell silent 

Like the static in their eyes 

Against all fleeing logic 

We let our minds go blank 

Nullify the ego 

Stay right back, stay right back 

How can we receive 

The static? 

Fear that strangles spirit 

Denial speaks the truth 

Fear that strangles spirit 

Crushes me and you 

Wicked are the senses 

Wicked are the words 

Give me the static 

Again we vowed not to hold sacred 

But to damn that hollow gaze 

Unsteady on these shorelines 

Mute to an un-thought scream 

Another word fell silent 

Like the static in their eyes 

Against all fleeing logic 

We let our minds go blank
