Anxiety
03:00
|

This is all that’s left,
I don’t need to tell you that.
I hope you get some rest,
You deserve so much more than that.
Evelyn,
I hope you realise,
I meant it all along,
I never told you lies.
Now I’ll go,
I never meant to stay.
I find it hard to find the words to say.
What I meant,
Didn’t mean it anyway.
In other words, another way.
In other words, another way.

Weight
03:52
|
|||
Waiting
Weighting my words
If they're too heavy,
I'd seem absurd
If they're too light,
You wouldn't mind
But I want you to remember my sibilant curve
I've been waiting all this time for you
Weighting fishing lines and lines to use
Wading in and out of welfare queues
Waiting on the phone for happy news

Wet Skin
04:50
|
|||
My skin is wet again,
The feeling, is coursing through.
My skin is wet again,
A simple feeling,
Like missing you.
The sin that I let in,
Is easy, is nothing new.
To call that guilt a sin,
Makes little,
Of missing you.
I’m missing you.

Not Quite Parallel
05:54
|
|||
I know I’ve lost you now,
I feel ashamed.
I know it’s all my fault,
I pulled the trigger anyway.
I’d like to see,
That other world, on the other side of my decision.
I’d like to be,
In another world, in a not quite parallel dimension.
Evelyn,
I’m sorry,
For being wrong,
For being young.
Evelyn,
I’m sorry,
Maybe I’m selfish,
Maybe I’m just dumb.
Evelyn,
I never meant to make you cry,
Never thought I’d have to say goodbye,
The way I did,
When I quenched it,
I unhinged it.

Stagnant Water
03:17
|
|||
She came from the water,
It’d kill me to drown her,
So I closed my eyes ‘til she was gone.
I needed an answer,
So I made up the question,
Can’t wait for the facts,
To prove me wrong.
I broke her only heart.
|
||||
7. |
||||
I don’t believe in everything I’ve seen.
I tend to find that truths lie in between.
I’m fading, in and out of view,
They’re fading, in and out of view.
My voice gets very loud inside my head.
It serves to amplify what I regret.
I’m fading, in and out of view,
She’s fading, in and out of view.
Fading in and out of view.

Over
02:55
|
|||
Now that it’s over, I’m only someone,
Someone not waiting for you.
Now that it’s over, I’m still just someone,
Someone who doesn’t know what to do.

Matter
05:35
|
|||
You know that love has left me
It makes me feel unholy
All old beliefs reject me
They curse and not console me
She knows that I don’t matter
We’re all just in the ether
God knows she’s made of matter
Sounds waves will not impede her
He hopes that you’ll accept me
It hurts the ones who know me
You know she won’t forget me
That’s vanity, if only
I know that I don’t matter
I know she doesn’t either
I know we’re made of matter
I don’t know if I need her
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
I know that I don’t matter.
|
||||
10. |
||||
Am I so fickle?
Am I so shallow?
I didn’t realise I was.
They say time heals,
But what if I don’t want to heal.
There’s so many feelings,
I still want to feel.

Epilogue
04:43
|
|||
I can't bear to be so close to you anymore
Separated by walls and clothes and closed doors
I can't believe in a God who won't believe in me
When I pray I pray for someone else
For all I ask, I never ask for help
What help I give, I just can't help myself
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
It doesn't burn me but your light puts me to shame
And I've no-one else to blame
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
You're not playing but your still part of the game
You don't even know my aim
I can't bear to see pictures of you anymore
Pixelated but not quite obscured
I can't believe in a life lived through an lcd screen
We're so connected I see everything you eat
But I can't share things that mean that much to me
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
It doesn't burn me but your light puts me to shame
And I've no-one else to blame
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
You're not playing but your still part of the game
You don't even know my aim
I can't bear to be so close to you anymore
I can't bear to be so close to you anymore
I can't bear to be so close to you anymore
I can't bear to be so close to you anymore
But I can't keep away
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
It doesn't burn me but your light puts me to shame
And I've no-one else to blame
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
You're not playing but your still part of the game
You don't even know my aim
Like a moth to a flame, I come back again
It doesn't burn me but your light puts me to shame
And I've no-one else to blame

She came from the water,
It would kill me to drown her,
So I closed my eyes til she was gone
I needed an answer so I made up the question
Can't wait for the facts to prove me wrong
I broke her only heart

A line is a visual trail of energy that has been drawn across a surface and is a manifestation of the life energy of the
person that made it.
The Line is the pseudonym of Brian Dillon, musician, sound artist and Irishman. Brian is originally from a small town in rural Ireland and he has never quite been able to escape the lines of identity that separate his life from the lives of others.
