Kenopsia Lyrics

(History, memories)

(Can't you see them now?)

(Mystery, misery)

(Lonely streets worn)

There are hollow eyes staring back

Through the curtains, the ties

And yet it's slack

There are sorrowed cries through the black

Through the mirror of echoes

And yet it's cracked

Hearts once beating to their bitter bend

The silence rings to their severed ends

And now their

History

Once crowded lost it's shadow

Memories

Collecting dust like their home

Meant nothing

Now buried in the embers

Everything

The elements took over

There are graveyards of the past

Through the capsules of time

And yet it's trashed

Before nothing's heard spirits basked

Though reflected, their lives

It does not last

The bustle now drained of colour

The shattered splinters now turned grey

They weep into the darkness

Leaving nothing else but decay

And all that could remain is

History

Once crowded lost it's shadow

Memories

Collecting dust like their home

Meant nothing

Now buried in the embers

Everything

The elements took over

Who can remember before the broken?

What would make them appear?

Did they lock their doors that day?

Did they evacuate?

Did they know their life would never be the same?

Was it explained?

Is this home?

And their

History

Once crowded lost it's shadow

Memories

Collecting dust like their home

Meant nothing

Now buried in the embers

Everything

The elements took over

Mystery

The pavements now a photo

Not a street

The earth claimed it as it's own

Misery

Seeps out like dying rivers

Now complete

The elements took over
