A Spoonful of Poison
03:41
|
|||
There it was
Rendered for me
On the screen
The perfect version
Of myself
Lifeless there
prismatic beauty
Red, Blue, Green,
And nothing else
Even when
My world is ending
I won’t surrender
To this hell
I hurt so bad
But I’m too stubborn
I can’t help it,
I don’t need your help
For every drunk tear that I’ll never cry
There’s a spoonful of poison in your eye
For all the weird drugs that I’ll never do
There are ego deaths and reveals for you
Either engraved or unmarked who’s to say?
But I like it better framed in some way
Still a frame turns a cage I’m not free
And a spoonful of poison waits for me
Gentle creatures
Pretend their stories
Honestly
From a place
We never touch
Hideous
And wonderful we
Fall apart
All at once

Betrayal
02:43
|
|||
You betrayed me
You betrayed me
You betrayed me
And I believed
How could you?
How could you?
How could you?
Follow through
I live a lie
I live a lie
I live a lie
It helps me get by
In the cold ground
In the cold ground
In the cold ground
You’re not around
How could you?
How could you?
How could you?
Follow through
I live a lie
I live a lie
I live a lie
It helps me get by

Forgiveness
01:50
|
|||
When will I find forgiveness
For my own self interest?
Am I now bearing witness?
And if I’m not what is this
Sorry sad existence?
And if it’s not
What is this for?

Don't Cry For Me
03:16
|
|||
We're in love with us
And everything that we touch
If this is a crutch
Don't push down too much
You're in love with me
And the person I'll be
In a couple of months
Transitions are rough
I'm in love with you
And everything that you do
But don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
Don't cry for me
Don't you cry for me

Dust
04:32
|
|||
His skin is made of leather
And he don't cry
His bones are made of iron
So he could never fly
She could never trust
That he would ever try
She floats like dust
Her eyes are never dry
I don't care
I'm high and I like you
I don't want to die
When I'm with you
Turns to dust
His skin is made of leather
And he don't cry

End of Days
03:03
|
|||
Touch my face
I’m disappearing
In too deep and I fear if
You climb out
That I can’t clear it
A body laying in the clearing
Could it be
I’m just a spirit
Went too far and I fear if
You call out
That I won’t hear it
Reached the end
That I’ve been nearing
As I’m floating
Through the ceiling
As I’m losing
All my feeling
See the imprint I am leaving
A body void of any meaning
Every word is a whisper now
So quiet this way out
Moving down a path that’s leading
To the end that I’ve been dreaming
And as you cry out to me
I can tell you see right through me
Even if you’re speaking truly
I don’t care I don’t believe you
Although your love surrounds me
Somehow it never found me
Even if you planned on leaving
I can tell you’re missing something
If I could know you’d hear it
I’d be singing different lyrics
Hold me close there’s no pretending
Now we know the world is ending

Trouble
03:17
|
|||
You say you want to have it
You know this from the inside
Go on it's time to grab it now
Let all your nervous habits
Fall away by the wayside
Let all the guilty acid out
This is the most that I've felt
I noticed right from the start
That I had let some love melt down
Out from my tiny ice heart
Down through my shiny body
Onto the cold uncaring ground
And I know
I'm in trouble
And I know
I've lost my mind
You say you want to have it
You know this from the inside
Go on it's time to grab it now
And I know
(You found it)
I'm in trouble
(Surrounded)
And I know
(You found it)
I've lost my mind

Old Souls
03:50
|
|||
“…rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth; these protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years…”
It hurts when you feel it
Hurts worse when you don't
If the first bite went right
The next one you won't
‘Cause now I'm only hurting
When you draw the curtain
Safe in the night's light
Next time I go out
Let go of your old soul
Live now in youth's glow
Let die your old husk
Live now in the dusk
Sleeping on the ceiling
Lost all my human feeling
I only feel the hunger
I only feel much stronger
Hiding in my castle
Free from any hassle
I only leave to feed
And you're standing next to me
No soul
I have no soul
It takes another muscle to climb up
Look into my heart, let me in
Let go of your old soul
Live now in youth's glow
Let die your old husk
Live now in the dusk

Savior Complex

This is
Your last chance
Folding
Your glass hands
And it hurts me
To hurt you
I feel it
For you
They're coming together now
They're coming to get it out
Are you gonna give it all?
When will you see?
The new age has video
The new age has audio
Cacophonous visuals
Rattle my brain
Is this
A lost cause
Hoping
It's my fault
I couldn't save myself
A spot's always missing now
All of it added up
And drove me insane
When I tried to save you all
(And it hurts me)
I couldn't keep it up
(To hurt you)
Somehow I love you still
(I feel it)
All of the same
(For you)
All of the same
(For you)
All of the same
(For you)

Footsteps
03:20
|
|||
I’m losing my mind
As I draw the blinds
Time’s unkind
All I find is
I can’t see you floating away
And I don’t hear your footsteps
I’m losing my breath
Right lung to left
Time’s a mess
I’ll do my best but
I won’t hold out hoping you’ll stay
If I don’t hear your footsteps
If I turn around
When you’re climbing down
Will I pick you up
Just to cut you off?
I won’t hold out hoping you’ll stay
If I don’t hear your footsteps
I can’t see you floating away
And I don’t hear your footsteps
Give it up just run away
I don’t hear your footsteps anyway
Give it up just run away
I don’t hear your footsteps anyway

Lion Tamer
04:03
|
|||
I know a lion who can’t be tamed
Open up and eat the flame
I know a liar who has no shame
Twist the knife and shift the blame
Made you feel safe, held by my gaze
It won’t feel right to be locked in a cage
What if I free you
You’ll claw my eyes out?
Don’t need to see you
To know you’re mine now
But when I keep you
It tears my heart out
Don’t need to bleed to
Prove you’re courageous
And when I caught your eye
I thought you’d never bite
You swallowed all your pride
I swallowed all my lies
And all the time we spent
In and out of your tent
Long enough to know my cage
Couldn’t keep you anyway
What if I free you
You’ll claw my eyes out?
Don’t need to see you

Tiny Circles
04:39
|
|||
I’m only climbing up
To get a better view
When I reach the top
I know I’ll climb down soon
I could never keep
A promise like you
I could save a life
I could see this through
Maybe someday I’ll find it
The truth I’m looking for
Maybe I already found it
But I can’t be sure
And someday I’ll pass you
On my way back down
If you’re climbing up then
Please don’t turn around
I could never keep a promise like you
If you’re climbing up then
Please don’t turn around
To catch the glassy eye
Of the passers by
A distant bell inside my memory
Rings with every gift you bring me
No more than I can take
Some patterns need to break
In to a thousand little pieces
My world turns in tiny circles
This structure isn’t safe
There’s nowhere to escape
The comfort that we’ve known is running out
I watch it weave on down the alley
You’re dashing all your hopes
And ending every rope
Tie them up and climb on out with me
My world turns in tiny circles
And when it starts again
I won’t let it spin
My world turns in tiny circles
Now I know it doesn’t have to
And I don’t have to turn them with you
And I don’t have to turn them with you

Who Is Your Flower?
03:25
|
|||
If you could only get to know me
But I’m too busy being lonely
I can’t care if this stupid
It just hurts to feel so useless
Maybe when my hair is longer
And my precious heart is stronger
This old soul will be less ugly
I’ll be someone who can love me
I will get a hold of nothing
I’ll be ready for your loving
I’ll have someone I can show you
That’s when I will get to know you
I must try to keep this promise
I would die to live more honest
Who is your flower?
