Departed
02:20
|
|||
|
i feel sick to my stomach
in fear that the worst may soon happen
all i want to do is sleep
for ages on end
and end this war
these walls are slowly closing in
i've departed from what is known
these blisters and scars and wounds
won't heal fast enough
to cover them up

Plutonic
02:10
|

|
i have got myself so far out
impossible to climb up
the weight of, the height of
delirium--confusion
i have got my head all mixed up
i bumped it on my way out
of my struggle, of my climb out
under snowfall--a burial
i have lost my life that once was
impossible to keep up
with the fear of, with the flight of
murmured whispers--all those spiders
i have gone and fucked it all up
institutionalized, black hole eyes
remember me all our memories
drowned in poppy seeds
what do i deserve

Make it Stop

how do you keep so still
how to you disappear
how do you keep your friends
with you until the end
when do you say you're done
and ready to go on
when do you fight
when do you run
i want to run to the ends of the earth
i want to run into the sun
i want to burn so black and blister up
there is no future for us

Recluse
04:30
|
|||
|
sir, i don't want to live
like the way i've been living
hiding out all over the place
it's getting tiring
and i can't help but hide
from friends and enemies alike
i'm doomed to become a recluse
i'm cursed to fail every whim of my own will

Hell
02:30
|
|||
|
everything is burning down
everyone is falling to the ground
everything has broken down
everyone lying face down on the ground
these cabinets and drawers are
the gateways to hell--unexplored
every action played back in slow motion
viewed and altered--film dissolves
this place is hell
i am on fire but it's freezing
i am colliding into coffins
i am melting
i am choking
i am breathing
i am living
yet i am still dying
yet i am still loving
i am crying
i am smiling
this place is hell

Redoma
03:15
|
|||
|
can anything cure my despair
for i've locked away the secrets
all the things i'll never share
put in a coffin--buried underground
these things are just memories
painful mistaken movies
that project on the screen
for my personal viewing
can anything cure loneliness
because i'm in the middle of these tombstones
waiting for you to come out and haunt me
haunt me, haunt me, haunt me please
if only i could just see your face
because it's been burned out of my memory
mental pathways
destroyed for protection
can anything cure emptiness
because i know i'll never feel full
without that love you hold for me
i'll be waiting
because i can't stand up forever
and soon i'll have to crumble
your acid rain
crumbling me away
can anything cure sadness

And I Loved You
03:15
|
|||
|
all the sweaty palms
faces resting on arms
have been cut wide open
with the blade of god
and we all carry on
with our scars heavy on
remember our restless eyes
our faces resting upon
one another's hair
the platinum blonde bomb
and the silvery glint
of the blade of mars
if i see you again
in one of my dreams
i'll stand there crying
for what's never been

House

two white boy bodies
sleeping on the floor
two white boy bodies
sleeping together next door
i told you i was waiting for you
disguised by a smile
i told you i was waiting for you
so you could cum for a while
two white boy bodies
together under covers
two white boy bodies
with lips so close to touching
i told you i would wait here
i told you i'd be still
i told you i would wait here
so you'd have a home to come to
i told you i'd take everything
to make your time worthwhile
i told you i'd make everything
just to see your smile
you blonde boy
of my dreams
you came and ruined everything
it's all there on the floor
you can't ignore
the weight, the blame
i had a home
once and i lost
it all, no more
control, just dis
order, i had
a home once with
you and you came
and tore and ripped
it up and now
i'm sore, i'm tired
and worn, i'm crawling
home
the world's a bore
life is a chore

Only Lies
04:00
|
|||
|
there is no truth
there are only lies
i have no heart
what i have is a coffin of bones
there is no air
only floodwater--collapse and drown
i have no thoughts
mind is empty from the damages of battles lost
the battle is over
the battle is lost
the war is over
the battle is lost
