lyrics

Hidden in all that I can push through me
are little round dots of holy truth
Planted, ridden now my food seems so empty
Could this be an example of how to be?
Could I have slept for so long my arms are bones?
Where will I take myself now to make my own home?

Will I find my own where I need them most?
Will I find my home filled with silence?

Down here I see it's clear that we are still cold

Rise and find your will gone
Find your hidden flaw (behind/right inside) your heart
Right at the point you advertise
as the (height/crowning) achievement of your life

Enough is enough

In the desert of our youth we were travelling nomads seeking water
The tides of sand gave way, and across the dunes we saw an oasis
We still crawl along just (these/a few) paces, and hope we'll make it

Until then we're just shadows on a brighter life.
Once water changed us into glass,
but now (can't/wont) change us back
Until then we're all the same, hidden wants remain.
The cage now divide us
Until then we're on display as statuettes of blame,
crystalized with our life force

Right at the point you materialized
I could see a final weakness on your belly (down here)

It's so clear that we crawl

about

Second Species

Formed in 2003 from the ashes of Bitter Disposition and Choke, Second Species was a band to rule all other bands. The rock was hell and the fierce was thunder. Now ashes again, these are our scattered remains.
