Stay With Me

Your eyes are filled with wonder.
Your mind brimming with dreams.
I'd be lost without you.
Stay with me, child, stay with me.

Your heart bleeds like a river.
Your wounds are quick to heal.
I'd be lost without you.
Stay with me, child, stay with me.

Pray for the child lost to time.
Sorrow is your mother but you have your father's eyes.
A glint.
A subtle glimmer.
A rescue in disguise.
When it seems all hope is lost
Use your secret sight.

Sweet eternal heart.
Sweet caress of innocence.
Often times your death is swift
Yet you are born new with the morning.

Memory

You looked into my eyes.
Put your psychedelic fingertips on my heart.
And I saw destruction.
And I saw despair in your wake.
But I said, "Goodbye" to Reason.
I said, "See you later, Lucidity."
And I thought you'd grow out of it
But poison still shines in the corner of your smile

Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.

You know you're not yourself today
As your manic mood disintegrates into dust.
You hear what you want to.
You see only what you want to see.
I said there could be freedom.
I said that the answers are computable.
You said you have so much time
But why waste the time that you've got now?

Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.

I had to let go of you.
Erase you from my sympathies and my heart.
You dropped of the planet.
I had to drop you out of my mind.
I said that I was done with pain.
I said that I wasn't a masochist.
And I thought you'd grow out of it
But poison still shines in the corner of your smile.

Let me go, Memory.
Let me go.
I want to be free from you
So let me go.
Let me go.

Black and White

Ripe for the taking.
So succulent and sweet.
Eat the seed
Of my decree.
At harvest time
Your soul is mine.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.

Fattened for the slaughter.
Indulge yourself, my sweet.
I will wait.
Anticipate.
The time to taste.
The time to take.
I can't control the craving.
Lust for the essence of you.

It's one or the other.
We've bleached out the colours.
Now you have to choose.
Want to gain or want to lose?
We just want a bite or twelve.
How dare you keep it to yourself.

Seething

All that's left unspoken.
My decisions. My emotions.
The demons writhing wriggling
And trying to get out.

Diplomacy broken.
My opinions are my minions
And if you cross the lines I've drawn
Prepare to leave with scars.

Formulaic Lyrics

All you have is rhythm's charm.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Rhyming couplets do no harm.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Don't even have to make sense.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH
Get off of the fucking fence.
DAH duh DAH duh DAH duh DAH

Hot Topic Harlots

Shock value.
Apathy.
Murder, Sex, and Violence.
Think you're so exotic.
So irreparably twisted.
Many went before you.
Off to dance the dance of the macabre.
You don't have their elegance.
You've got no mystique at all.

Terminus

All the knives are stained
With the blood of my dreams.
No one holds the blade tighter.
Sweet Simplicity.
End of Expectancy.
Stillborn children of my heart.
Breathless infants of my soul.
Death to the Dream.
Death to the Dreamer.
