LYRICS:
01 Olivia 0:00
"We are the night, the monster beneath your bed
We are the ones who follow your every breath
We are the ones whose light you no longer feel
Forgive us, we only long to watch you rest
Uncertain gaze, quiet, still
Rigid with fear, you tremble
And you can tell someone is here
It wrecks your sleep, it hurts you
From other planes
We came to see you grow
You cannot hear my voice
But please know how much I loved you
It breaks my heart to leave you
To fuel your deepest fears
To know that you’d be better on your own
Lay your head to rest and we’ll disappear
Wandering the earth we will hold your dear
Grieving in desperate ways
Never caressing your face again
Silent, we’ll not speak your name again
You won’t even know who we were
Olivia!
As you were"

02 I’m Letting Go Of You Forever 12:46
"I’m letting go of you forever
The fairytale must end
I conquered death to be with you
And fill with song your lonely nights
This is goodbye
You are my world
Filled with regret, we had to leave
Broken we wept, caressing you
Open your eyes my love
We’re gonna leave you now
Our time is over
We’re running miles and miles away
Stranded alone in time
And it won’t stop here"
~
03 As My Terror Turns To Sleep 22:23
"Sit back and wait
Unearthly spirits
Reveal your shape
As my terror turns to sleep
Familiar smell of roses
They tried to speak
And then their cold arms wrapped around my neck
Laid me down to sleep and ceremoniously left
The haunting beasts with evil hearts
Who bit their nails and ground their teeth
Who felt at home within this place
Its crumbling walls and blistered paint
Who in the night stood over me
Witnessed the fear upon my face
Who sought to nurture and nourish me
Left me to rest, without a trace"
~
04 And Moments Flicker By 30:57
"And all I wanted was true to common phrase
To just be with you
And now you’re alone
And moments just softly flicker by
When your eyes are closed
Think of me
Take me higher
From throes of grief at night
We will laugh as the sun hits our lonely hearts
Tears of joy, soaked in bliss, sombre days are gone
Just a dream, you and I forevermore
And then we panic
Reach out to clutch the air
The dream is done
Morning rips me from you
Did I speak too soon?
Was there too much light?
My tired heart breaks
And I lie awake"
