Seventyfour 06:27
I'm feeling kind of strange tonight so strange I wouldn't wish for you what I am going through I know that life can suck a bit be free of joy but full of shit waves of emotion make me crave for more more of everything, more of anything I fear I'm not insane, although I could have that confused beauty drips through eyes that I might have never used through dust and ash I'm prancing by far the strangest in the hive and hear me, feel me, watch me dancing in the ruin of my life nothing seems real anymore a lucid dream that kills the doubt and I will never understand how I have ever lived without please know I've tried, I tried so hard (but now) I'll shout it out loud and make them all hear put flame to this world and make them all fear the truth in the moment, I can't deny (I can not tell you why) I'm feeling everything tonight emotion of a thousand lives reason is the enemy tonight watch out, the beast is roaming free run and hide, 'cause I will be the enemy c'mon just take the pill and do not let go calm your pulse down and do not let go yeah it grows on you and it takes its piece but it pacifies and it atrophies keep safe distance to the beauties of life without emotion it's easy to survive c'mon just take the pill just take the pill c'mon just take the pill man, just take it calm down and don't give in to rage locked up in my medication cage feel it clawing through my skin scratching and cutting from within I don't know why I'm feeling kind of strange tonight please know that years and years I've tried but I want more (I want everything) I'm feeling everything tonight emotion of a thousand lives reason is the enemy tonight the beast is roaming free tonight unleashed what I had locked inside and I want more of all the things I never had (I want more) and I want more (of anything) and I want more (I want more) I want more (I want everything) I am the enemy

a pisspot of blended happiness the itch of dry-cleaned love a hint of beautiful emptiness on the face and smile I loathe give me a reason, make it worthwhile with truthful devotion and stupid denial give me a reason, I want to be honest say it out loud giving birth to a feeling new to this world in a swamp of shattered glass I want to hurt you and when I see you cry sweet torment in your eyes I'll feast on your tears and dry them with anger every step of the way piece by piece I will take out the lie forever, starting today tear by tear until none is left to cry a pleasant game come play with me come and find me look past the face, past the smile can you see me (I see you) can you feel me (I felt you, always) You know what I can do, what I am and what you are I can never change I will loathe you forever but I'll always be yours will be always and never I will never hurt it will always be our beautiful lie as I'm wondering if I blacked out forgot what I just thought about in this moment a life slipped away why does the world seem to breathe so loud breathe in the air just to breathe it out starting over and over again as I'm trying again to figure out what it was I can't live without In this moment a life just slipped away wondering, wondering, wondering what I thought about a moment slipped away I may never know it may always be my beautiful lie as I'm wondering what I left out I forgot what I just thought about

this very cold day takes the fear from me slowly dying old and weakened I feel the falling leafs see I am all but gone we're not even I may not incline to keep on trying can't you see we're over you're not there yet but I am as I'm leaving a song in mind I sing off the burden I carried for so long I cannot go back to you dreaming on a cold day I am

Ripples 04:50
a thousand words are tumbling out stumbled by fury and self doubt a blur of truth and fiction in the heat of our friction say it, nonsense, leave me alone freak out elsewhere come on now you know I'm right let it go, I can't be the strong one you're running away again weakness it's just in your head lies why can't you know, I'm who I am please take my hand deep down I long for you but never again, leave me alone don't come back over I want you to know I am hurt drifting through an emptiness on a silent path I stride I am nothing less pathetic than everyone else I laughed about and I'm trying to get rid of you to lock you out you're everywhere around me for that I hate you even more you're gone and I'm glad you are yes, you're gone and I'm glad you are don't want to care about you I tried, but still I do I just want to be free but you are everywhere, everything never again, please never again deep down I long for you but never again, leave me alone don't come back over I want you to know I am hurt deep down I'm bound to you forget what I said, don't ever leave me please come back over I want you to see how much I'm hurt I can not let you go so please don't ever come back to me

Still Awake 07:40
Into the light, that distant glow salvation out of reach through winter, through the cold for everyone and each and why not sooner, why so fast I am rushing through the night can not help it, can't withstand I am drawn to the light where is all I wanted and everything I ever asked for I had so many plans but from the start I always knew I'd fail the shadows they need me, they whisper to me as if they could read my thoughts come closer and hide me, be blanket on me is this what it's like to die I'm so close to sleeping, why can't I let go I am awake I am awake holding on with less of doubt the root of hope has yet to sprout and as the dream is shattering another step closer to seeing things as they are I'm so tired of faking, believe it another step closer, revealing what we are here I am still me how can I be still awake when I should be sleeping how can I be still awake, why can't I let go another step closer to seeing and knowing so tired of faking, of lying and smiling another step closer but still so very far away into the nothing I want to give myself to you I have never tried anything to face what I've become into the nothing I want to give myself to you and I know that I have always been dreaming living with my eyes closed another step closer to seeing things as they are and I'm so tired of faking, believe it to the light through the cold revealing what we are never free, never be not today, not ever see what I've become as it fades as distant as we are never will, always still from the deep I'm crawling screaming into the light it's so close but still so very far as it was as it is to the light

about

'Fractured Divine' is the long-awaited fourth record of the German based alt/prog quintet FUTILE.

It contains five songs that share mental illness as a theme superficially, but telling individual eclectic stories when digging deeper.

The record has been recorded in a live situation with all instrumentation being played simultaneously in one room, which contributes to the special atmosphere these songs are sharing.
