lyrics

the silence of hearts stopping
is indiscriminate and overwhelming
the entire world and every good thing
simply quit happening.
inerasable memories and dreams,
however few, will still flourish
in these bleeding, broken hearts
which only sing momentarily.
everything we did and said
in all those hours of cold darkness
in that room where time stopped just for us
every moment counted in the end.
and we never wanted to say goodbye.
put on the polish so when it wears off
and you took pictures to prove
we will all feel better knowing
we were in the same trance with you.
what could i have done or said
to keep you here with us today?
last time we looked up at the stars together
you knew it was goodbye, didn’t you?
(for Betony Nuri Knauss, December 24th, 1980 - September 17th, 1999 and her mother Marcella Maurine Ricky, September 19th, 1955 - July 4th, 1997)

Bleeding Tongues Portland, Oregon

So this project is a change of pace and direction into that indescribable, slow, painfully sad genre that I think everyone has a soft spot for, whether they admit it or not. Full length album coming soon! -Matt Svendsen ... more
