Falling Dark

from Two Brothers and a Ghost by Flagland

lyrics

King Bug’s vengeance was denied him. Through the ritual he was blasted from reality and back into the in-between. But he found the one responsible, that vector of grief, pain, sadness and rage that can be smelled from across dimensions. 1 2 1. He will have his revenge on this new world and he's brought the kids along with him. But is he so sure of his target? Who is who in the maddening curls of these dimensions and the baffling city of doors, with all its entrances...and exits? The trap is set. The last stand, then the apology. The final dream and the final awakening. Over and over it turns. In the end we are only dust. Forgiveness.

"O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!"

Time is moving faster now, can you see it?
They're pounding on the door to our world, can you hear it?
Two becoming one again, can you feel it?

Everyone holds hot, secret pain deep down under their ground.
Don't let all that burning turn you into one of the damned.
There's a bug in the back of the brain,
Screaming, screaming like you're insane,
Telling you what you don't wanna know,
As we go, as we go...

Into the darkness,
Into the light.
Into the darkness,
Into the light.
Into the fire,
Into the night.
Into the darkness,
Into the light,
Over and over.

Holding hate in your hand like burning coal, waiting to throw.
Drinking pain like salt water, always making you thirsty.
There's a man inside your head,
Another self that you thought was dead,
But there will be justice for all,
As we fall, as we fall…

Into the darkness,
Into the light.
Into the darkness,
Into the light.
Into the fire,
Into the night.
Into the darkness,
Into the light,
Over and over.

Gotta let go of all the burning anger.
Gotta let go of all the poisonous guilt.
Gotta let go of all the aching sadness,
Or else it's all gonna kill ya.

Everybody's burning, burning.
I burn too.
Everybody's burning, burning.
What burns you?
Down in the prison inside yourself
There's a burning man who is screaming hell.
Never, ever listen to a word he says,
He will keep on screaming until you're dead.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.
You can leave this world dying as it bleeds.
Suddenly the river of time is a flood,
Gotta open up and show me your burning blood.
Everybody's burning, burning.
I burn too.
Everybody's burning, burning.
What burns you?

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

King Bug is in me,
He ends and begins me.
The circle repeating,
The snake always eating.
But I'm gonna stop it,
Put the pin in and pop it.
I'm gonna trap it,
Write the record and track it.
I made a version,
A subtle diversion.
The young man I've mentioned
Will draw his attention.
If you take everything ever written or said about a kid committing suicide it all adds up to nothing,
But he can't read, he's a ghost.
I'm a ghost.

You stinking morons, have you understood a word I've said?
I'm trying to warn you of the demons dripping in your head.
There's nothing good left to destroy.
Eviscerated girl and boy.
There's nothing left for me to say.
That's good, and anyway
Who am I supposed to be?

When you don't look at me I don't exist.
If you don't hear it then it didn't happen.
When you don't look at me I don't exist.
If you don't hear it then it didn't happen.
If you don't hear it then it didn't happen.
If you don't hear it then...
It didn't happen.

No!
Not these tones!
Gimme something that'll bring me home.

He: his head's not right,
But why's he gotta fight?
Maybe he's just a fucked up kid.
She: she's all gone,
Left us for a song.
Maybe she's just a fucked up kid.
And I: I let em all out,
But why do I have to shout?
I guess that I'm just a fucked up kid.

I forgive you.
I forgive you.
I forgive you.
