I'm witnessing water turning into steam The bleak surroundings are starting to gleam A constant drilling noise coming from the turbines As I'm witnessing water going downstream No love, you almost made me choke On salt-water and polonium I can't find my way back home I can't hide my wounds no more

Dreamer 04:04
The closest I ever got to freedom was running in a poppyfield I was out of time and no one's slave And I wish that I could trade my talking For the stillness by which flowers are surrounded Still I cannot dream I'm stuck in this life Trapped inside my body No, I wouldn't wait for Spring to blossom My November has yet to come I'll suffocate into the haze But there won't be anyone to judge me when my scarlet petals will sway Still I cannot dream I'm stuck in this life Trapped inside my body If only I could let go, I'd be as innocent as wet snow Free of any connotation, free of any implication If only I could let go, I'd be as innocent as wet snow Free of any connotation, free for imagination

An endless fall through the eyes of the only mistress of my joy I said goodbye, I didn't expect to go alone this time I came undone, all my fears and weaknesses had seen the light I said goodbye, I broke another promise... All the dark days, pain and despair I weep and I mourn but no one really cares I've seen no sunrays or flashes of light, dim through the panes Well, no one seemed to care No one seems to care Your guess was wrong, it wasn't just a phase Tears flow on your face, blood runs out of your veins You sucked my life, now I'm not strong enough to take it back My dear, you really killed me this time All the dark days, pain and despair I weep and I mourn but no one really cares I've seen no sunrays or flashes of light, dim through the panes Well, no one seemed to care I'm running out of time, my life is on the line And all I ever seem to do is whine I'm burning at the stake, I lie in bed awake Nothing appears to cure my headache (And no one seems to care!)

Hazel Eyes 04:09
It is just as it was the first time Small hands, folded, sweating on a mahogany desk Her withering youth in a lace dress She hired a narrator to shape her behaviour But ended up tearing out a page or two Of her own existance, as a form of resistance As an act of self-defense The mirror sighs in front of her But she can't bear the suffering And hides behind her hazel eyes Just her way to say "I tried" Just her way to wave goodbye A letter to Heather, a brief look at the weather The amount of time required by the social contract No medicine has ever made it better So she opted for the self-defense It gets clearer as she falls into bed And eventually she rests her head All nightmares disappear You'd bet she never really tried Just her way to say "I'm fine"

Virgo Rising 05:00
Walls have ears, doors have eyes Trees have voices, beasts do tell lies Beware the rain, beware the snow Beware the man you think you know Your secret shelter, I'll come across I'll steal your body and read your thoughts Subtle violence, no control Say your prayers, I'm your new God And I'm striving for a place in your life I'm sitting in the corner While you're burning with regrets This room is getting warmer
10.
I'm alone in the dark and I be where you are You were gone from the start, now you tear me apart I gave you my trust, but you treated me like I couldnt' see I felt you were the one but I know that I'll never be the girl that you need, you need... (I'll never be the girl that you need, you need) You would feel the same if you were at the back of her mind Suddenly the rain has wiped away the dust from my eyes (I'll never be the girl that you need)

about

Il sound del nuovo album di The Runner prende le distanze dal dubstep di "Visiting Hours", riducendo anche le incursioni in territorio lo-fi. I brani sono ugualmente vigorosi, ma più umbratili ed opprimenti, grazie all'ampio uso di riverberi e alla strumentazione più tradizionale. Non mancano passaggi più prettamente dance, come nella doppietta che chiude il disco.
Le tracce vocali registrate dal vivo impreziosiscono "Water Treatment Facility", "Dreamer", "No One Seems to Care", "Hazel Eyes" e "Virgo Rising".
