Slow Suicide

I couldn't help but see were feeding off madness
connected they feed the air we breathe
it seems, almost everytime we try to break out
think about leaving here, finding no way out, and no way in

so me the ways fear
takes over the chase hear
throw away your time and mind
no one seems to care

heaven it seems, its only a dream, we're locked up in rules
something mean
don't you feel you're a slave to the time, media madness,
so sublime
like a meteor war we're all done and gone
open the door and look out
skies coming down, shut your fucking mouth
hope you're ready now

chorus

I can feel this, 
underneath my skin

Youre Not Alone In This Journey Called Life

The Last Dawn is the first of these two companion albums, and is the "lighter" of the two, thematically and melodically. It contains undoubtedly some of MONO's strongest songs ever, drawing on an array of influences from minimalist film score to vintage shoegaze. It is MONO at their absolute purest, executing an uncanny, unspoken dialogue with each other without the dozens of stringed instruments that have been so prominent throughout their catalog. The songs are also noticeably more efficient – there hasn't been a MONO full-length record to fit on a single slab of vinyl since 2003's One Step More And You Die – and the album benefits immeasurably from this streamlined approach. MONO have always been masters of telling compelling stories without words. But now they've proven they can do it without frills, too.

Where We Begin

Cyclone

(Verse 1)
In the shadows, I crawl,
A prisoner to this vice's thrall.
Euphoria's embrace, a fleeting bliss,
But in the aftermath, a venomous kiss.

(Pre-Chorus)
Chasing oblivion, a desperate plea,
To numb the pain, to set me free.

(Chorus)
I'm drowning in a sea of addiction's despair,
Lost in the haze, with no escape from this snare.
The needle's sting, the bottle's burn,
A vicious cycle, where lessons won't be learned.

(Verse 2)
Promised escape, a treacherous lie,
Trapped in this cage, where demons reside.
The grip tightens, with every hit,
A downward spiral, I can't commit.

(Pre-Chorus)
Reaching for solace, in the depths of the night,
But finding only darkness, a fading light.

(Chorus)
I'm drowning in a sea of addiction's despair,
Lost in the haze, with no escape from this snare.
The needle's sting, the bottle's burn,
A vicious cycle, where lessons won't be learned.

(Bridge)
The cravings consume, my body and soul,
A battle rages, that I can't control.
But somewhere deep inside, a glimmer of hope,
A chance to break free, from this deadly slope.

(Chorus)
I'm drowning in a sea of addiction's despair,
Lost in the haze, with no escape from this snare.
The needle's sting, the bottle's burn,
A vicious cycle, where lessons won't be learned.

(Outro)
With trembling hands, I reach out for aid,
To break these chains, that I myself have made.
I'll fight for freedom, with every ounce of might,
To reclaim my life, and find a new light.
