IN FLAMES
"Borders And Shading"
(Anders Friden / Bjorn Gelotte)

Take a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain

Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminder by the tattered tissue

Bleak silence
Errors stigmatised in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
'Cause I'll look the other way

I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
'Cause I'll look the other way

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
'Cause I'll look the other way

You're so far
Behind being my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
'Cause I'll look the other way.
