Steven Gullotta An absolutely fantastic aggrotech/dark electro gem. One of the underground bands out of Sweden that deserves much more recognition. Favorite track: A Place Among The Forlorn.

Today I woke sensing it Heavy, damp, festering On the walls and in your eyes Craving, crushing, draining Look into these searing eyes Do you see anything that's me? You turned blank and cold And it feels like love has turned Into just a word I know it, I'm changing, I'm lost I wish that I could stay the same For you Look into these searing eyes Do you see anything that's me? Clawing its way out Screaming through my eyes Lashing me onwards at you The past flash before me Remember our first time Remember our love When did it cease? Look into these searing eyes Do you see anything that's me? Am I hurting you because I can, or is it because of what's inside? Cries echoing down the hall Smothered by raging fire Under my skin I see it crawl This awakening must be stopped Must be stopped... Something inside... Tearing... Something inside my skin tear Little creatures me devour On the porcelain skin appear Beautiful deep red flowers I have to leave you now for you to live

Dark Horizon 06:39
Rain to wash away The Blood from our hands Look at the sun and be sure of that You will take it down With blood dripping from your knuckles Shout I’m the master To take what we can and destroy the rest The victor conquers in triumph The loser suffers in grief Show us a way to escape To avoid our dark horizon We cry, we pray Still no way, still dark horizon No, nowhere to go We Tried No time, to see The looming dark horizon The Horror, the future Upcoming dark horizon Show us a way to escape To avoid our dark horizon We cry, we pray Still no way, still dark horizon

Connected, incompatible Forced into a downward spiral We want to, we need to Be each other’s liberator Destroy me, let me destroy you We tear each other apart I’ll always love you Like a death engine machine You are my death engine machine Pull me down, drag me through Misery, destroy me I want you to, I’d love you to Slowly wither with me We destroy each other But I love you still Crawl under my skin, fester on my heart Say you love me Love, I want to drain you Now, you will kill my Heart, I want to feel you Die, I want to be your Death engine machine

Tears are running down my face Forgiving me not I'm drowning Pulling, clinging In deep mire I am sunk Reaching out my hand I whisper Pull me up My fingers stain you like coal Smothering your hope Your soul What lies beneath my skin What writhing taint What light burns without air Not you, not me In deep mire I am sunk You're holding my hand I whisper Let go My fingers stain you like coal Smothering your hope Your soul Too far I have sunk Let go, let go Please let go Of the living black hole

How could you believe Pathetic dirt She’s the prettiest you ever saw How could you believe that She could love someone like you Believe the lie How could you believe that Someone like you could Ever be happy Listen to me I am your only friend Everything dies but I’ll stand by you ‘till the end They’re all rotten I’ll be your only friend We’ve been betrayed We will be better off alone Our dying lounges try to breath Their tainted air of deceit Empty grins calling us 'friend' Trust me, it's another dead end Do you think you can destroy me? Do you think you have the means to control me? Do you think you can go on without me? You need me Listen to me I am your only friend Everything dies but I’ll stand by you ‘till the end They’re all rotten I’ll be your only friend We’ve been betrayed We will be better off alone We are better off alone

The Burden 06:21
The inner eye all stitched up Hands tied to the chest Hanging in an umbilical noose With life you are blessed A head filled with shambolic thoughts to the rim A vice around your heart and your eyes so dim I cannot move at all I'm nailed to the ground I have to escape myself I have to find you now We try to live To stay alive Still we die, slowly You and I Try to stay alive, try Lowered down into the dark cold deep You tried for so long but could not sleep In this watery grave of self-disgust The burden is who you can trust We try to live To stay alive Still we die, slowly You and I Try to stay alive, try

There is a single emotion running through your veins There is a single emotion provoking such deeds Ghosts are eating away at your mind Who is that you're fighting But not yourself Was their love to tough for you to return What did you feel when fear shot from their eyes Are they haunting you now As you close your eyes Is this their vengeance You inflict upon yourself? They're coming back It's all coming back With Vengeance Do they know you are sorry Do they know your regret Would they not torment you if they did Is the guilt to great Are you afraid Can you look into their eyes Can you sleep through the night? They're coming back It's all coming back With Vengeance

Dreams are gone The night is empty The day is grey Hate, constrict me Seeping from the walls Empty loneliness From the cracks ascend The crawling ants From my hands You sit here beside me No light in your eyes I see they got you too Now that your hope finally dies A cry and a shudder As god leaves you alone Out in the cold with The bleak and the crown We’re losing ground but Just try to hold on Now that we can hope for A place among the forlorn

Pain as I drag myself Through the shards to you Can you see my smile Trembling in your fear we're hurt but we will never die No stars shine, silence is our only hope Don't fear me, embrace me, Eat my flesh Inject my ghosts let us die, I want to die No stars shine for us tonight let us die, I want to die You and me both You've been dragged through hell Together with me Why won't you look into my eyes Why are you avoiding my eyes No stars shine, silence is our only hope Kiss my razor lips, let us die Stab my heart, I'm running dry for you Why are you avoiding my eyes I want to die No stars shine for us tonight I don't want to die alone

Out Of Reach 08:08
There is a malevolence Corroding my mind A sense of stagnant lifeless survival What can I do To feel what you feel To not feel what I feel Don't want to live in fear of waking up every day I wish that I could rip my flesh asunder To live free I want others to see me Like they see you I want to have the hopes I know you do Don't want to just survive I want to truly live I have to scream I want to breath I want others to see me Like they see you I want to have the hopes I know you do I want to see the beauty You tell me about I want to feel like you And not like me
