The Absolute - Dark Tranquillity

In every hour every day

This chosen solitude is gone

The pressure coursing

Through your every nerve

Will rise and fade away (2x)

There’s madness to this method

Conformity now on display

When confidence become the enemy

In time our questions lose their meaning

Wish it away and it comes back to you somehow

A loneliness denied (2x)

Our shallow pool of wisdom

Reflects upon our innocent face

Between attacks of pure anxiety

You see humanity slip away

You force the lie to be an absolute

To where there will be no return (2x)

There is a face on the surface

I don’t ever want to see

There is a light above the water

That is not supposed to be

If there is truth in this resistance

I don’t ever want to know
