Amplify the light

lyrics

Writing away through blank pages (As dark clouds form)
Words rain down, no story told (It began when I was born)
Lights go out, it’s a dark room (The faces I wore)
Waiting to burst into flames (I don’t know anymore)

Turning away, turning to you (Thunder strikes the earth)
I’m getting down, getting downer (The sunset of my birth)
I destroy and I tremble (The faces I wore)
I’m holding on (I don’t know anymore)

I have no role in nothing at all
Like a dead soul, I’m standing tall
All the things that have left me here
Made me push you away, to get you near

Writing away through blank pages
Words rain down, no story told
Lights go out, it’s a dark room
Waiting to burst into flames

Where were you when I was torn (I’m weak of fear)
I was torn from my safe smile (Push me my dear)
Did you walk out of me (The faces I wore)
Out of my dark room again (I don’t know anymore)

The cold new morning (I’m feeding my guilt)
The same old mourning (I’m feeding my guilt)
Light a candle (I’m feeding my guilt)
in the room (With every wound I think I made)

The Surs 'S Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

Dynamische, licht ontvlambare muziek met een scherp randje, die je telkens vast grijpt. In februari 2011 is debuutalbum 'Persona' uitgekomen. "Veel grotere talenten ben ik de laatste jaren in Nederland niet tegengekomen" - OOR ... more
