Jag skriker i natten (I scream into the night) och bara tystnaden svarar (Only silence replies) Stirrar ut i det tomma (Stare into emptiness) och mina tankar de ekar (My thoughts echo in my mind) Let's elope Musiken den tystnar (The music turns into silence) Färgerna bleknar (The colors fade) Alla smaker försvinner (All the flavors vanish) Var är vi på väg (Where are we heading) We´ll find comfort in the waves Floating in suspended grief Like a vassal of your soul, never to be annexed Some claim I drag my feet in apathy Yet somehow, still, they can smell you on me Jag sitter fast (I am stuck) Medans världen rör sig (While the world keeps moving) Bara du får mig känna att (Only you make me feel like) Jag spelar huvudrollen i mitt liv (I play the leading role in my life) A staccato, broken vocal chord A mouth and gut co-op, lungs with water filled Each day is a failure to induratize Your lingering knows no boundaries Släpp taget om mitt hjärta (Let go of my heart) Eller ta mig i din famn (Or take me in your arms) Du var vågen som höll om mig genom stormen (You were the wave that embraced me through the storm) Allting annat brann (Everything else burned) Du var musiken, du var färger, du var smaker (You were music, you were color, you were flavors) Allt det där försvann (All that disappeared) Bara kaos, fast i stormen, inget fyrtorn (Only chaos, stuck in the storm, no lighthouse) Som leder mig i hamn (To lead me to the shore) And I further drift each day Forever gone No star can lead the way Distinctly drawn Truce without benefit I'm no one's pawn But how I wish to be Another one Keeping apathy in check I'm spent and done This ship is soon to wreck A simpleton Passed on by Charybdis For oblivion My personal Lethe Come hither, my very own lithium You say you wanted more, so I meet you at the shore No regrets, don't hesitate, we´ll find comfort in the waves Feel the deep, drink it in, forgetfulness is what it brings No regrets, let's elope You say you wanted more, so I meet you at the shore No regrets dont hesitate, we´ll find comfort in the waves So we´re signing up to fill our lungs, we´ll find comfort in the waves

Du var bara ett frö när din framtid bestämdes En framtid i skuggan, format efter samhällets normer Men det är dags att bryta upp, det är dags för förändring Att fastna i livet I ett oändligt hjul Samma tankar och idéer Som att växa upp i en bur Vi kan inte stå bredvid och betrakta längre Framtiden är din så spring, bara spring Regarder ses pieds s'enfonçant dans la terre Laisser la bourbe monter jusqu'à son cou Traîner les bras, l'humérus écrasant le sol Un amas poussiéreux d’envies trempées. Les doigts s'écartent et l'esprit s'égare Oublier de respirer, arrêter de respirer Il est temps d'ériger l'échine, car, À trop peu jouer avec le feu, on finit par se noyer. Le sang n'est plus qu'un emblème, les stigmates de nos peines, des cicatrices et des cernes. TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH: You were just a seed when your future was determined A life in the shadows, shaped by society’s norms But it is now time to decamp; it is time for a change. Getting stuck in life In an endless wheel The same thoughts and ideas Like growing up in a cage We cannot stand by and watch any longer The future is yours; so run, just run. Staring at your feet sinking into the earth Letting the mud climb up to your neck Dragging arms, the humerus crushing the ground, A dusty heap of soaked desires. The fingers open up and the mind wanders. Forget to breathe, stop breathing It is time to erect your spine, because, When you hardly play with fire, you end up drowning. Blood is now just an emblem, the stigmas of our sorrow, scars and dark circles.

I have become this empty shell since nothing is left of you anyway. Darkness has swept away but I still find myself at the bottom of a well. Broken and left with the taste of betrayal on my tongue. I find myself at a wuthering height, watching over me, trying not to fall down. As I'm seeing myself stuck in a routine of repeating the same mistake and now desperately trying to tell myself to just stop. Enacting lies on daily basis, forgetting what is right, what is wrong. Someone, someone, give me a heart that won't need beating I need to save me from myself I wish there was time to reacts

about

Projects idea:

Gabriel from Heart On My Sleeve came up with the idea to bring together a very unique set up of different people, from different cities/countries/bands that Gabriel had had the pleasure of playing with over the past years. His goal was to create an enormous blend of emotive hardcore/screamo music.

So Gabriel wrote all the the guitar-parts and each person involved had the opportunity to do whatever they wanted with the song that they received. The raddest thing about all this is that the people involved had no influence on each other´s parts and they never even rehearsed together. They just recorded their part of the song and then sent it to the next musician involved in the project. Finally, the recordings were mixed and mastered which was the last part of this project. This is the end product of a 12 musician project.
