Gary Reed is an American comic book writer who was also the publisher of Caliber Comics, an independent comic book company that released 1,300 titles in the 1990s and gave a chance to many of today’s top comics talents. Reed has written over 200 comics and graphic novels, sometimes under assumed names (including Kyle Garrett, Brent Truax, and Randall Thayer). He was also Vice President of McFarlane Toys when the company launched in 1993. His comics writing credits include Baker Street and Deadworld.

Stained of my norm
Forlorn name
Motion mourns
Words unsaid
Lies
Soil my fate
In her hands
Voil mt veil
Inertia
Silent bliss
We are to feel alive
Orphan leaves
We are to feel alike
Hollow shield
We have no inception
Lies
Soil my fate
Ignorance
Lies
Void my veil
I feel you coming slow,
It seems that's all you know.
You come around never lie,
You sense it's all in line.
Deadened by the way you overwhelm,
Saved by the ways.
Dead and bothered by the breaking down,
Leave you all I have.
You might shove me down,
You will never be alone.
You can lock me out,
You will never be alone.
You can shove me down,
You will never be alone.
I don't know what you think,
You chose the silent way.
You look around you see,
It's just like all I believe.
Bothered by the part we end,
You will never leave again.
I'm a better part of you,
Dead if I can't make it out.
You might shove me down,
You will never be alone.
You can lock me out,
You will never be alone.
You can shove me down,
You will never be alone.
Your fucking way!
Bothered by the part we end,
You will never leave again.
I'm a better part of you,
It's all upon the end.
You can shove me down,
You will never be alone.
You can lock me out,
You will never be alone.
You can shove me down,
You will never be alone.
You can lock me out,
I enwrap myself in black sheets to match the sky
And you would do the same if you just opened your eyes
But lets stay like this for a while
Let's just keep silent and immobile
Enjoy the pleasure of dying daylight
The cold kiss of a desert night
Out here on my own is where I feel....
Where I feel most at home
I'm stuck in between your flesh and my bones
I embrace the gift of dying daylight
The cold kiss of a desert night
I enwrap myself in black sheets to become one with the sky
And you would do just the same if you opened your eyes.
Eyes
Night
[Instrumental]
When the cold wind blows
Sending shivers down your spine
There is none so blind
As those who do not listen
Hollow pain
Cutting straight in my flesh
Something's diggin' it's way through me
Silent scream
Waiting to be torn apart
A nightmare becomes reality
Defenceless at the mercy of the Gods in white
Trusting blind, 'cause I fear the black demon inside
[Refrain:]
Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life?
I cannot move
Congealed in liquid fear
To be damned in suffering
Inertia
Embraced by solitude
And betrayed by the living
Helpless - awake in darkness - does really nobody care
I feel so insecure, this is more than I can bear
[Refrain:]
Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life?
Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life?
Please, let me fall asleep
And bring me back to life
Drifting awake - will I be purified ?
Drifting away on a dark velvet stream
Will you hold me tight ?
[Solo: Gerd Lücking]
[Refrain:]
Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life?
Inertia - who's gonna let me fall asleep?
Inertia - who's gonna bring me back to life?
Archaic,
Disorder, where swarms of the plague,
slowly limp closer, with the unshaped.
Discipline of the body, sentiments
of hanging by a thread and torturing.
Endorphins fall and relapse something
so pure and so numbing.
Seduced by those false lines,
endure the hunger which is coming.
Remains of crushed veins, exhumed to rise.
Breathe discretely leave nothing in vain,
Sleep depravation in its prime would
slaughter without need.
Narrow gauge, fall deeply into the wounds
With, an ease closer to concaved misuse.
Asphyxiation engulfed and infused
with crippling discomfort meant to be abused.
Disease, bastard king, you ve led me to a, killing spree.
It seeps slowly into my bones, releasing its pain.
Torn, separate the skin from the bones, desecrate.
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me
I’ve heard it all
I know it’s all inertia
Pushing through the door way
I’ve seen her look this way before
Once again this beautiful distraction
Pulling me back to you
I know we’ve played these games before
What’s going on
What’s going on
What’s going on
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me
I’ve got the words but I’m afraid to use them
in the time it took to choose them
you turned and walked right through the door
What’s going on
What’s going on
What’s going on
Yeah
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me
She’s so critical
Can’t feel my heart slow anymore
I’ll keep my eyes closed
Let her go
I’ll be all right
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
She’s got this look that cuts right through me right through me
She’s the one that tore my heart in two
I can’t stop thinking of her
Fear of being left behind
Can take you over
Suddenly you will choke
Maybe it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you
I can't hear you now
There's to much that's going around
You seem a worried fool
So I don't think I'm cool
Makes me me insure
Of you
Fear of being left alone
Can take you over
Slowly you will choke
And say it's just a joke
I'm not sure
Blinded by inaction
Momentum in traction
You're in the driver's seat
You're going fucking nowhere
Stagnant state of mind
Inertia leaves you blind to the truth
Stagnant state of mind
If I was falling for another
If I was falling for you now
And if I descend without desire
I'd say the words that break my fall
And if I was falling somehow
And not caught before the ground
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll get it right
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll find
If I was lying for another
If I was lying next to you
And if I lost all faith in emotion
I'd stay here till the sea arrives
And if I was lying listless
With this thought before I drown
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll get it right
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll fly
Cause your fighting it cleanly
Doesn't mean that you'll win the fight
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll win
And if I was lying listless
With this thought before I drown
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll get it right
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll fly
Cause your fighting it cleanly
Doesn't mean that you'll win the fight
Cause you love it intently
Doesn't mean that you'll fight
If I was falling for another
If I was falling for you now
And if I was lying for another
Dark cell of freedom,
Cold space of mind…
Mechanical… Abiotic!
Obsessed kind of humans…
Bring forth thy Will!
Petrify your senses…
Empathy becomes Divinity
In the spectrum of obedience!
Distort my beauty…
Name my scars, signs of weakness!
Distort my beauty…
Make me shiver by your lies!
Another second… Stillness!
Another hour… Emptiness!
Another dream… Stillborn!
The clown… the human
The Soul… the mind
A dazzling haze of perfect lies!
The juggler… the human
The Soul… the mind
A crime scene for pervert eyes!
Dark cell of freedom,
Cold space of mind…
Can I specify the exact point,
Where my whole existence,
Meets the senseless Void?
Distort my beauty…
Name my scars, signs of weakness!
Distort my beauty…
Your a lier
You wear a gun,
makes you look bigger
You scare the crab
don't you feel smarter
Like a little kid
you play with fire
You do your pot
you do it all
But those words from your mouth
they are scary
And the hate that you have
that you carry
It will grow and will grow
till we're barried
Your so clever
If this is war
it's like no other
If there is blame
its on each other
I hear the cries
they last forever
We did our part
we came along
But those words from your mouth
they are scary
And the hate that you have
that you carry
It will grow and will grow
Till we're barried
And there'll be nothing left
except sadness
And a scare
without words
without anything
Because we've done this before
This is madness
(transmission)
I can't tell you
how relieved I am to have you here
Your the last one, it's all gone
That's the thing
connection is perhaps the most cherished thing any humanbeing can have
I understand how you must feel
I am sorry
but those words from your mouth
they are scary
And the hate that you have
that you carry
It will grow and will grow
till we're barried
And there'll be nothing left
except sadness
And a scare
without words
without anything
Because we've done this before
This is madness
This is wrong
this is us
this is happening
But we've done this before
but were standing
We're still standing
And we've done this before
But were standing
We're still standing
And we've done this before
But we're standing
(transmission)
Youve got to remember the good things
And cherish the memories
And go on with life because it dont stop
You only have to remember that
What you've done in your life
May change what someone's doing in their life
And it changes everyhing
So amazing
These are the pictures, these are the feelings from the frontline
Living in silence, feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Smiling with strangers, counting the days like a spring coiled up inside
Welcome to your future, welcome to your book of lies
Fingers crawl through pages, nothing changes
Living here...
Inertia ' no wish to move at all
Inertia ' everthing's a stone wall
Inertia ' history lets you die
A ragged pile of silent accusers, smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes, no ears, no smell, no taste, the mouth of the maggot is full of this place
Murdered conscience, the pressure is crushing heads, like paper lanterns now
Unbreakable grip, a dead hand driving us forward to the end
Kicking through the traces, a thousand years from now...
Inertia ' no wish to think at all
Inertia ' everthing's a stone wall
Inertia ' history lets you die
Inertia ' no wish to move at all
Inertia ' everthing's a stone wall
Turned pale gasping for air
Hands tied on top of a chair
Time goes by so callously
Outside walking around
Seem free but carefully bound
Woken everytime I sleep
But I wouldn't dream it
If I hadn't seen it
Staring out
No one could deserve this
Hanging from a rope that never ends
Every second I'm nervous
Still think that there's a purpose
Waiting for the slack to reach it's end
It can't be long now
Think slow but fast on the draw
Let slip the things that I saw
Tangled up inside my head
And I can't forget them
Wait for the doorknob to turn
Lie wake waiting to learn
Dreams bleed out into my bed
And I'm lying in them
But I wouldn't dream it
If I hadn't seen it
Staring out
No one could deserve this
Hanging from a rope that never ends
Every second I'm nervous
Still think that there's a purpose
Waiting for the slack to reach it's end
It can't be long now
Ships are floating away x3
[Not enough for me... x2]
No one could deserve this
Hanging from a rope that never ends
Every second I'm nervous
Still think that there's a purpose
Waiting for the slack to reach it's end
It can't be long now
[Run right now you're in the clear]
It can't be long now
[Cut it loose and dissapear]
Got a head full of one-way rides
That you wouldn't believe
A giant leap from your heart to my arms
Before it's time to leave
Well, all these old things
That'll never be
That I'll never miss
Give me some time
I don't throw fists
Yeah I'll throw a fit
Yeah I'll throw a fit
This is the time when all things old will pass
Inertia comes along
To push me closer than I've ever been
We' ll move things we'll be far
This is my chance to let the wall go pass and then
Got a ticket on a Sunday drive
In the afternoon
There's nothing quite like your Indian smile
To relay my blues
Well, this is the time when all things old will pass
Inertia comes along
To push me closer than I've ever been
We'll move things we'll be far
This is my chance to let the wall go pass
Inertia comes around, Inertia comes along Inertia comes around.....comes around!
I'm over my head I'm over my head
Still over my head!
This is the time when all things old will pass
Inertia comes along
To push me closer than I've ever been
We'll move things we'll be far
This is my chance to let the wall go pass
Inertia comes around Inertia comes along Inertia comes around.... Inertia comes!
Ohh, where does river end?
Aah, where does journey find friend?
Ohh, where does river end?
It just keeps on moving.
No, it's not a boy's name,
No, it's not a girl's name,
Inertia, I'd call my child all the same,
so (s)he'd keep on moving.
Don't let your feet stick to the ground,
when everyone else is moving all around,
Don't be stationary or laden down,
just keep on moving.
Don't try to tell me that your feet are made of lead,
Two choices, hang back or get ahead.
Lead the pack, get it in your head to
keep on moving.
I don't feel anything
Isn't that amazing
I don't want everything
Just a little bit of nothing
But even if it feels strange
It stands apart from nature
Even if you don't know
Where the circuit breaker
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
We were calm and collapsed
Is it just me lyin' here
Or is someone breathing
Why do I live in fear
When I'm not sure you're here
Cuz even if it feels strange
It stands apart from nature
Even if you don't know
Where the circuit breaker
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
We were calm and collapsed
So break me down
Our love isn't cool
So break me down
And crucify me again
Cuz even if it feels strange
It stands apart from nature
Even if you don't know
Where the circuit breaker
Givin' up a feelin', I'm feelin' no existance
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
Why calm and collapsed
We were calm and collapsed
I'm calm and collapsed
