Burnout Songtext
von Beriedir

Broken hands are never full
But I won′t hear ticks like nearing steps
Juggling tasks, now two, then four (five, six)
A puzzle, recursive, spiraling in

Time is ticking again
And I am dreading stillness
Horror vacui
Living defined by how much we compromise

And it feels like I'm just burning out (I′m burning out)
'Till the fuse will scorch I'll let the candle glow (candle glow)
Pushing ′till the heat inside will rise (and it will rise)
But at least there will be light until the Sun goes out


Oh, scratch that, we start anew
Now ask the night and hear the sun reply
With things I′ve heard
The vicar of my flickering sleep deny
The haste, ignite the words
Play down that bag under your eye
If idle hands do devil's work
My fingers burn of seraph warmth

Time is ticking again
And I am dreading stillness
Horror vacui
Living defined by how much we compromise

And it feels like I′m just burning out (I'm burning out)
′Till the skin will rot I'll let the cancer grow (cancer grow)
Pushing ′till the light inside will starve (and it will starve)
But at least there will be dark until the Sun comes out

The amount of ink required to fill my blanks, gargantuan
Flows and boils untamed, filing reams on reams
I feel near my rest, but then a heartbeat rush says otherwise
Head on desk once more, until the feather snaps
And it starts again


Still we are
Like birds of paper
Through the flame
Thrown and thrown again
Still we are
Like birds of paper
Through the flame
Thrown and thrown again
