lyrics

Leave
Me
Now

Isolated among the living
Forced to deprive myself from silence
All I can think about is leaving
A solitary absence

I welcome you, Mother Nature
Allow me in, I feel like a stranger
I welcome you, giver and taker
These impostors can’t be your creatures

I lost touch with my kind
Running away from them
Not many to leave behind
But many to condemn

I felt growing this sadness
An hatred so profound
Blissful madness
This incurable wound

I find myself lost
Beneath these elder trees
This sunless frost
Carrying my disease

Without a living soul nearby
Blessed escape from this masquerade
I’m no longer afraid
To live, to die

I welcome you, Mother Nature
Allow me in, I feel like a stranger
I welcome you, giver and taker
Among you I will safely venture

And there I rest, hoping to save myself from a dreadful endless spleen
Wishing my life was something more than a convincing smoke screen
I drowned so deeply I can’t even raise my head
I drowned so deeply I’m not even sure there’s something ahead

I welcome you, Mother Nature
Allow me in, I feel like a stranger
I welcome you, giver and taker
The irony of this world defies mesure

I find myself lost
Beneath these elder trees
This sunless frost
Carrying my disease

Without a living soul nearby
Blessed escape from this masquerade
I’m no longer afraid
To live, to die

Without a living soul nearby
Blessed escape from this masquerade
I found a pale hope
A bit of strength to cope

I find myself lost
Beneath these elder trees
This warm sunlight
Carrying a new fight

This is some amazing stuff! Atmoblack and pretty in the same sentence? I know, it seems crazy, but Morwinyon successfully does it with this release, and it is rightfully titled as such! Derek
