Music from my Master's Thesis (p. 30): www.diva-portal.se/smash/get/diva2:1017019/FULLTEXT03.pdf

Luis Alveart Guerrero's photograph of an abandoned hotel had an influence on this song (consider it musical a continuation of ‘Deviant Voices’). The photo is available here: www.flickr.com/photos/alveart/5559892406/. Thank you again, Luis, for giving me permission to use it!

lyrics

the light you saw
you couldn't even wait to bury it all
and we cease to wait all over again

I thirst for more
while devouring the salt we get close to the core
we cease to dance

to the moving bright lights, to the sting of the cold
slit the throat to cover the wounds
we cease to dance in hollow rooms

and there we walk
from nothing to the all as we go through the walls
and we fall asleep, all over again

our names are lost
while stealing time from someone
who really had none

and we see ourselves
in the cold bright star
in the first uttered word
silence, singing, mayhem
in nothing and more
we cease to dance in hollow rooms

some things are never really there
we take it all for granted here
some lies are gone before they turn into our truths
some trees will fall when no one is there
we only hear the things we are near
some stars are gone before their light reaches our eyes

and there we walk
from nothing to the all
as we thrust through the walls
and we fall asleep, all over again

and we thirst no more
from nothing into salt
we get close to the core
we cease to dance
we cease to dance
we cease to dance
in hollow rooms
