lyrics

this body feels just like a walking corpse,
blindly groping walls, finding a way.
will my eyelids open wide to finally see?

stuck inside this emptiness
these nights are growing cold,
tell me you can reconnect my nerves.
follow closely to the coast,
the saw-tooth razor’s edge;
a ship that carries all my ghosts.
Words don’t mean a thing no more,
empty shells spent inside this pointless war,
that got the best of me.


when I tried to find that blissful state,
it only seemed to slip further away.
then struck something else within my bones.
foreign entities embark upon...

upon my weary head, untrusting of the past.
should hearts open the gates?
or trust the mind instead?
take my hands, keep them from trembling.
take my hands, lead me to open seas.
fill all the vacancies.

I’ve always thought i’d die holding this hate.
but you’ve opened my eyes to live again.

about

Couteaux San Francisco, California

Couteaux formed the summer of 2011 after the demise of the post-rock group Atheorem, and as a side-project to the bay area metal band Simoom.
With our genres combined we can play melodic music with a punch...and also summon captain planet.

Our debut EP "Sail West to Reach The East" will be released June 30th, 2012 with all songs fully downloadable from our bandcamp...for a measly sum of $3.
