Gift Of Pain 04:15
Silently suffering I want to tear you apart For all the pain you have given me Unending misery I sit alone in the dark The sky will open and swallow me Amusingly violently I'll find a dark place to hide From all the pain that you gave to me
3.
A Dying Age 04:37
I don't want to live today I just want to kill the pain Close the windows and starve the light I'm praying for another night You can always see the end Everyday that we pretend All the things we never say We will never be the same All the places I have seen The dying faces in my dreams All the lover's paint the sky With empty words and bloody eyes If I cared at all For all the things that put us under I just want it all A place to lie whenever I fall down If the sky is red It means the war is over All the things I said as the rain... As the rain falls down in here I just want to hide again You will never understand All the lies you ever said Are echoing inside my head All the places I have seen The dying faces in my dreams All the lover's paint the sky With empty words and bloody eyes Quietly we're dying slowly She just falls apart Silently you're dying lonely Time will stop our hearts

Splintered 06:50
Pain is nothing I'm used to misery All the suffering Left inside of me What burns inside you Is an ugly memory All that you are Will fade away in time Black light is shining Staring through your glassy eyes Broken pieces Shattered underneath your mind Time is dying All the things I want to say I am sorry All I want to do, is hide away All this adds to everything My mind collides, as space divides Inside my eyes Silently just out of frame A line between the burning flames A cry arises I'll show you all my suffering Revealing all you couldn't see As time slips away Eyes are burning All my sanity I'm locked inside here Cutting every part I see The world inside you Hanging like your ragged hair Open my arms And tear my fucking heart, out of me.
5.
The rain is pouring down today And everyday is just the same Been sitting in this room alone Quietly within the cold You know that I was never here Was lost among the endless years I'm wandering throughout my life I'll never find my way Far away I hear somebody cry A sadness calling out into the night Don't want to live another day Just want to stop and kill the pain The emptiness is killing me It's always the same I'm hoping for a better time I want to stop and close my eyes I'm staring at the clouds above me Waiting to fade Far away I hear somebody cry All alone I scream out to the night Somewhere you are staring at the sky Afraid of everything that you might find

Collapse 05:20
Crawling through the putrid waters Wipe your hands across my face Drowning in the filth left in here Contaminate the unpolluted Carve the skin exposing waste Seeping from your mouth when you speak And you show me all the ugliness When ugly is the beauty of the world And you show me all the ugliness When beauty is the ugly of the world
8.
I praise the dark you leave me in Silently falling away You stare at me so perfectly Watching me slowly die All the pain Lost inside Time has broken away Lose my face Tear out my eyes Burning inside your hands All the things right here, tied in a wall of fear And all of your little scars are bleeding through holes in your arms End of time Kill my mind I am stained in blood You I see Eternity I'll change everything I am All the pain right here is hanging from all your fears Everything you are is bleeding through holes in your heart All the words that I hear are veiled in a wall of fear And all that you loved so far is bleeding through holes in your heart
9.
Under stars, the moonlight Laying in the woods deep in the night A little girl with angel wings Devil will haunt your hidden dreams All the fires, the ashes curl Burn all the cities in the world You're so broken, we consumate I want to feed upon your hate And the rain falls down on me The empty feeling of my pain In my mind where no one goes And all the demons that I know So I'm bleeding in the rain Tear out the thoughts within my brain The walls are falling around me The days of fall are all I see And the rain It falls upon my eyes All these feelings When I close my eyes When I run away When I hide away from here If I close my eyes Will you dissappear?

11.
Over the hills I hear you crying Alone in the prairies while we lay on the grass The rain keeps falling onto the ground We'll hide together As the gravestones take me down Under the trees I can hear you dying I held your wet body until we were found The rain keeps falling onto the ground We'll hide forever until the end of the world Across the fields I hear you screaming You held onto my hand as we ran far away The rain is falling onto the ground We stand together as we watch the end of the world
12.
Worthless 04:10
You're decaying and weakening This regression a disillusion My depression is festering Putrifaction and souring You contaminate everything We fall apart and defile the sky We wither away We're worthless
13.
Chaos 03:59
I'm drowning in a sea of bones Picking through the gutter's trash Lost in a maze of roads I'm driven from the heavy rain I'm drunken from the night before She stands right behind the door Staring as I walk away I'm piercing my broken veins Open my eyes, I am the Sun I am the pain, I hear the cries I am broken violent writhing spitting bleeding I am nothing I see the end You are the one Scars on your legs You are pretend All the trees hang their heads Swallow me like I said I'm a drug an open sore I don't need nothing more Alcohol in my veins Open eyes cauterize Suicide cyanide Slit your wrist Fucking die I wish I was dead I want to be nothing The darkness in me The blood is so red Give me your life I want you to die Feel all my pain There is no more time
14.
Euthanized 05:16
I have been abandoned all my life I lost my mind so many years ago I've been wandering this road alone Dead behind my eyes And everyone I've even known has never realized You have been pretending all your life Locked alone in your little room Afraid to go outside Everyday is just the same I've waited far too long The desperation's killing me Please tell me what went wrong? The deep blue sea is taking me far away from here I'm walking around in circles In this isolated empty room of mine Behind my wall all the people walk on by Lost in their broken world Only madness they will find Everyday remains the same the years left on the floor The desperation's killing me Just like the time before Lifelessly we'll fade away Like everybody else I'm euthanized by silence In this complicated lonely world of mine
15.
We ran through the woods in the pale moonlight We ran until the dawn Hoping to find all the things that we want While outside the world falls apart We know in our hearts that we're all gonna die Everyone we have loved Laying on the grass in the middle of the night Watching the stars above I whispered to you that we're not going home As our minds unfurled You held on to me at the edge of the sea As we watched the end of the world
16.
Conclusion 03:42
All my life is burning down I'll wait for you here until the Sun goes down We'll die together holding hands And stand forever World falls apart again

about

David Galas is a longtime core member of the american darkwave cult band LYCIA and accomplished solo artist, whose career span many years of both song-oriented and experimental albums, exploring the darkest recesses of the human psyche.

David's latest epic "A Dark Place To Hide" is a sprawling tome of dark/goth-rock, inhabiting the same desolate universe of the likes of Lycia, Michael Gira or David Eugene Edwards.

A massive collection of tormented dark songs, "A dark place to hide" is all that its title suggests; a tale of ruin, catharsis and beauty.
