Climbing down the stairs much used
I grip the banister
Even in the dark I
Can feel which steps aren’t there
Silence too heavy
In stillness too loud
I mapped the graves but there’s no
Markers about
If I must make repairs
Must count out loud the missing stairs
Must know who went along
And who can be counted on
While…
More of us fall away
And more of us soon to go
To see -them- all, might be to
Fall to the darkness below.
Even when we’re blind at times
They need to see me by your side
Slow reveal but to stabilize
It takes awhile to turn the tide
Perhaps we’ll catch up some day
Even set back by their tricks
At least we can see the batch
Their cheap patches cannot fix
If I must make repairs
Must count out loud the missing stairs
Must know who went along
And who can be counted on
While…
More of us fall away
And more of us soon to go
To see -them- all, might be to
Fall to the darkness below.
Beneath these stairs
The mass grave below
Right to name the steps
Right to name the mess
Right to claim the task
The noise
The tears
The losses past
Bullet points
No tone to check
Yet, some will try
These only pierce the rails, to which some are self-tied
In their false space
No landing is there
Leave wounds in their wake
No bandages spared
Stores of arms to
carry the load
But
They don’t come
There’s no medal bestowed!
If I must make repairs
Must count out loud the missing stairs
Must know who went along
And who can be counted on
While…
More of us fall away
And more of us soon to go
To see -them- all, might be to
Fall to the darkness below.

I love how the songs all feel like you're going somewhere. I never quite know what the next twist will be. I greatly enjoy that. A truly spectacular album. redgladiatrix
