1 you don’t see my soul, I’m beyond deliverance * to all your love through calm deliberation * I sought you to find within a way to liberate * my mind from all your solitary pains * (You are not my lover, you are not my friend. You taught me the ways of sin, cleanse me of all I’ve been) * Can’t you hear me crying, time to reconcile * My dying words with all you’d recommended * I only ask you see my broken heart, to mend * My body, for through broken glass I’ve strayed * (You who are not my lover, you who are not my friend, teach me the ways of sin, cleanse me of all I’ve been x2) * And just be with me here * just be with me here x6 * just be with me *

2 What you have become is a plague upon my goals * As I scourge you and caress your every lie you ever told me * Swimming through the pain as your blood begins to pool * Knowing everyone you’ve maimed has torn a piece out of your soul * Blinded in the darkness now their shadows start to feed * From the empty soulless beast you have become from your deceiving * Prying through your sightless eyes to lay their baleful young * As the daemons that will rend your life from limbs * till you are gone * Crying through the depths, like your loveless collapse * Will go unheard like any memory remaining of your past * Only torment and desire will sustain you through your hell * You’re an atrophied abandonment inside a lifeless shell * Deafening the wail of all the banshees that will cry * From every death that you have caused to any others on the inside * Ears begin to bleed as now your lungs begin to fill * With the fluids that remain so choke and die * Your toxins rise * and brim to overflowing spilling out for all to see * your rigamortis is a fine excuse for such a hardened entity * yourself a faceless pool, your facing outward oh so proud * on the day they hold your funeral there wouldn’t be a cloud * Remember all the times your closest friends were breaking down * you told them just to deal to save yourself from all their horrid sounds * now you’re the one to scream, you knew that once you would be saved * but you’ve used up all repentance for today * Crawl, Crawl, send your sympathies * Die, Die, Flay this tainted disease * Ease, sell your spirit to * Me, Feed on your ag-o-ny

3 I’m kept alive in the darkness * Find me, straight from the heart, I * Hide as you wake to the sunlight * Rise as you drift in the night, I * Tried not to warn you, before this * Lied as I fed from the life * But why try totake me alive? * Do or dine, I leech, you feed. * (You are mine) I leech, you feed x3 * (You are mine.) *Mirror me, I let you be (let you be) * Start to crave, I pave your way for * (More for me, I’ve payed in pain for) * Sanity to carry me (Carry me) * Screams to shout (Slake your need) * (You are mine) I leech, you feed. * (You are mine) I leech, you feed x3 * (You are mine.) * Falling soft, filling hard (Years to come) * You must go (You must run) * Fearing feeling nothing now * May never come, to letting some * Decision died (Precision bleed) * (Lie quite still) I leech, you feed.

4 So sure of your sacrifice * You’ve payed in blood * While cabbages may sate the slain * I’m your God. * Cry to the barren land * As an exhile should * Like Lillith lay before no man * No know love * To the garden, furthermore * Nevermore to feel my wings * I, tender, cultivate you * Nurse your pride, and curse this night * Of your life, On this world * Few may find this figment fraud * To fall, as I… * As I…

6 You have dissolved me, derailing my movements * With every ship sailed is a moment where lovers part * Hatred, and no smaller sections frustrated * At all that I couldn’t quite show what you’ve meant for me * Blearing the memories like melodies lilting * Your thoughts, how they shift, and the pains when I couldn’t be * Thinking of you, with my fingers in touching * Your soft silken lips with your crimson skin tasting my heart * De de de de de… x2 * Kill who you must, in your apathy faded * Now bringing you back to that medicine you could not * Swallow as al hallow’s eve’s fast approaching * the ghost of your past, and the daemons of everyday * Just like the last, as my fingerprints fade from * The glass of your windowsill, watching the clouds as you * Laugh at the broken, and cry for the confident * Self assured concubines, of unabashed riches, I * LIE when I say that I’ve * MISSED you much less than the * Day that you’d walked away * dead where you buried my * PRIDE and forgiveness are * HIGHWAYS behind me * The cold fingers writhe as they * clutch at my breathless throat * Well, De de de de de * I’m so sure of myself this day * De de de de de * Run for the forest to search for your newer love * Quest for your merriment, with me in the shadows * To weep at the thoughts of you fading behind me * As sex lights the sky in a burning church cavalcade * Slew all the oxen to tribute your martyr * The priests and our daughters in bed by late august * To make what they’ve made you forget to be holy * Their sacrament, merriment, with me in the shadows, I’m * SINKING away as you * DRINK by the light of the * Day, deep as darkest trench * Oh but I’ll never quite * QUENCH all the thirst that you * LEFT me with sinking * And me in the shadows * I can’t help but think I’m diseased…

7 Eyes reach out to fingers silk * A lust to rival your dark designs * Your final words diminish me * Like blisters under a midnight breeze * Sullen lips to part in your passing * Aches to writhe beneath this breath of mine * A life within, what’s long forgotten * That darkness reigns upon our lives * As sure as the pain, you come for my blood * As sure as the day owes nothing, throw me away * For I know nothing, deaf blind and dumb * A call to the night, you come for my blood * Eyes reach now to fingers pale * A just desert to this blight of mine * Your final kiss envelops me * My final breath dies stale * Sullen lips to part, in my passing * Aches to writhe, beneath your grasp I die * My love pours forth like sugar sweet * Eyelids close, beneath these stars I bleed * As sure as the pain, you come for my blood * As sure as the day owes nothing, throw me away * For I know nothing, deaf blind and dumb * A call to the night, you come for my blood x3*

8 You are the world, You’re dead to me * Crown of thorns, Embodied like, snowflakes on rose lips * you cut at me, your thorns, they make me bleed * You are the world, You’re dead to me * There are better things than death, But none quite as beautiful as yours * A dark lace holds us together, Choking out the light * Choking me tonight * Keep me near you forever, And never part * A blessing was the past *Today I’ll grow tired of those days, * You’re to close to me * We’re to near * Wisp of smoke that’s purple, Black and red is my vision of me and you*Blue like our fathers’ blood, Faces buried in the snow * You’re buried, Don’t you know? X3 * Is this sunset ours now, truly? * So soft, Your hand in mine*Your eyes they whisper to me*Last goodbyes, Your last farewell * From the corner of my eyes, there’s a ghost of you that hates me tonight * Heavy handed with this knife, (Today I shatter sky! X3)

9 Give your life away, as you’ve torn my hope from me * That this life could ever be a thing of beauty * Without the pains that tear, the drugs that care, for the infirm and the weak * could have never placed you in (captivity) * There’s no more time for excuses * or uses for words that fall to late * for behind the scenes hang the nooses (that tighten) * They blind you and frighten those of us that see * This is no life, we’ve warned you and lost the fight * For your empty eyes, that scorn and desert us, a mockery of the light * This is no life, we’ve lost you to gain the memories that line your empty eyes * Whose possession caressed every soul to die * So show us your anger, any sign that you still live * For I won’t admit your memories to be forfeit (Not yet) * Throughout the roads you’ve known, no greater home have you ever hoped to know * Than the one within my heart (That you resist) * There’s no more time for excuses * Or uses for me, I’ve come to late * For behind this mask lies a heart that no longer burns * and I’m learning of your hate * This is no life, we’ve warned you and lost the fight * For your empty eyes, that scorn and desert us, a mockery of the light * This is no life, we’ve lost you to gain the memories that line your empty eyes * Whose possession caressed every soul to die…

10 There is so much more to life than waiting for your peaceful place in line * Shove me x2 * The face you hold inside is never one they see… * Waiting for your lips to breathe words to put my burning mind at ease * Kiss me x2 * For my heart you grasp, It knows no friends at all * Wherein I have fallen before you * Ever have I strived to adore you, whore you * Shove me down before you * Hear me out, Destroy me * Killing time to make amends for every moment with me you have spent * In vain x2 * I leave you here tonight… You never cared at all * As I cried beneath your feet, I realized you’d shunned me in my time of need… I need… * To feel the pains of life… But never by your hands… again * Wherein I have fallen before you * Ever have I strived to adore you, whore you * Shove me down before you * Hear me out, Destroy me * Herein I have failed you, to save me * Playing on my pain to amuse you, bore me * Shut your mouth, don’t speak * I’m mine to mistreat x3 * Do you mind? I need some room to breathe * I’m fine; Just a little cauterized * I’m mine to mistreat * You’ll find- the world at large, she needs to bleed x3 * So seek the need… * Shove me…
