The Art of Drowning
The Lost Souls
If you can't stand upon the water I will see you
on the ocean floor. When you blink do you only find the misery between the lines? Then take my hand and walk with me. Come
to me, your sanctuary, I'll gladly accept the gift that I've been granted. If you feel fine, then give it just a little time
I'm sure you'll contract my disease. Look what you've done to me now, you've made me perfect. If you can't stand upon the
earth then I will meet you on the other side. When you blink do you only find the misery weighs down your eyes? Then take
my hand and sleep with me. Take my hand I'll be everything to you. Take my hand I'll take everything from you. I will seep
under your skin. I will. I will hold onto your heart. I will. The Nephilim
Swing through
sadness, tears of joy. Curse the sunlight. Arsenic for the girls and boys. Drink the madness, smoke so coy. Smile injection.
Serum of a will destroyed. The seasons change without me. I remain in shadows growing wings. The spirit song still surrounds
me, in refrain, in shadows growing wings. Like an angel with two broken wings, reach the sky again. Like a devil, meant for
better things, I will find my place on high. Ever and a Day
Lie in comfort
of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose. Like in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep nothing left to lose. Three
tears I've saved for you. I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me. So I lie in this field bathed
in the light that loves me, with nothing left to lose. Three tears I've saved for you. Will you be my beloved? Will you help
me to get through? Will you be my destruction? Will you help me to be through? Sacrifice Theory
Hear one thousand
screams. Hear one thousand voices. A solitary echo. Feel one thousand pains, but one is receiving a bloody invitation. Do
you want to feel the warmth? To taste the life flow? Feel one thousand lost sinking into soft skin. Ingest rejuvenation. One
to consume, one to renew. Demanded invitation. I offer grace, I offer blood. I offer everything till my heart is crystal clear.
Do you want to feel the warmth? To taste the life? I want to taste the life to taste the life flow. Of Greetings and Goodbyes
Now
ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin, as I go under please tuck me in. Make me invisible. This hidden explosion calls
for a wandering cast with no direction. Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale. Go kill the lights, we'll glow
till morning comes. I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone. Then we go under. The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots
away. Today go hungry. Let it begin. Make me invincible. There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping. Deep
within divinity let's star another secret show. No need to worry it is just another monster. No need to fear here in the secret
show. No need to worry I am just another monster. In you, I'll see me, in the secret show. Smile
Overwhelmed with a deep
repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be the walking enmity. Assimilate into a culture of post morality,
from what I've seen, I hate humanity. Rot with repulsion. I'll write the world a brand new song. Look upon your bleak creation,
but is it truly me that's to be the human blasphemy? I'll set the world on fire and, in burning light I'll write my first
love song and I will feel warmth. Hide your eyes in heaven, in the lies. Believe. Relieve. I'll end the world tonight. Overwhelmed
with a deep repulsion for sights seen so commonly, now I have come to be a walking enmity, for humanity, the human blasphemy,
I'll end the world tonight. Dream of Waking
I feel it washing
over me, the slow poisonous tide. Pins and needles dance on me. Sickness undefined. Now I'm afraid to face the sky. Please
someone hear my haunted cries. Please them waken me. With eyes sewn shut I still can see all that is surrounding me. I end
up somewhere, somewhere between... between a dream and motionless reality, will I forever life? I feel binding so smoothly.
I see myself below. I feel it gnawing, eating me. Poisonous and slow. My mind it speeds. My voice has died. God let me make
the faintest cry. Opened up and for the taking, just one touch and I'll be yours. Opened up wide for the breaking. Just one
touch and I'll be yours. What's on the other side of the mirror? To cry, I try, to break the static keeping me here in between. A Story at Three
Again and
again they blend into one, my father the morning pushes through moonlight love. So what's sleep? Sleep. I'm tired, so tired,
but it seems that there's someone here with me. We are the wakeful, wry, watchful. We're awaiting. Deathless ones. A story
at three with the shrillest of cries. My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes. I hear the morning choir
sing to me their elegy. So beautiful. They sing to me their elegy. Requiem. The Days of the Phoenix
I remember
when I was told of story of crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers. The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses,
calling.beckoning to sleep offering a dream. The words were as mystical as purring animals. The circle of rage the ghosts
on the stage appeared. The time was so tangible I'll never let it go. Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below.
No one could see me. I fell into yesterday. Our dreams seemed not far away. I want to stay. I fell into fantasy. The girl
on the wall always waited for me and she was always smiling. The teenage death boys, the teenage death girls..and everyone
was dancing. Nothing could touch us then no one could change us then, and everyone was dancing. Nothing could hurt us then,
no one could see us then, and everyone was dancing. Everyone was dancing. Catch a Hot One
Let's tap your
heart so we can paint the walls and see if anybody likes the tone or the pain. The hungry eyes waiting for life flash, now
they're gonna see it. Open your veins so we can make a pool and bathe and see if anyone complains of the stain. Let's strip
you down so we can see you old scars. Now you're gonna feel it. Show me how to shine now. Have you ever turned to dust? I
saw an insect learn to fly; its form was scorned. Have you ever seen the kingdom of the flys? I saw it stay in sovereignty.
Have you lost the sense of touch? Have you ever turned to dust? Let's lift you up so we can see how fast you fall. We always
thought that you could fly; now you'll crawl. The lack of loyalty you thought you once felt, now you're gonna feel it. Now
show me how to shine. Wester
I can feel you waiting
for me as the sun retreats to the hills and I, beneath the blanket of a burning sky, wrap myself within. Embraced by dead
leaves as the rain leaves trails of black down my face, I creep through the twilight to that hidden place beyond the lonely.
I'll meet you tonight in the whispers when no one's around. Nothing can stop us now. Tonight in the whispers where we won't
be found. I can feel you dreaming of me and the time when our steps are retraced and I creep through the twilight to that
hidden place, beyond the lonely, I'll meet you. Beneath a dream, lost in a dream tonight. Smile. 6 to 8
Six figures enter; they've
come to destroy the world. They've called together this storm almost every night. I awake in another place. A familiar voice
with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words. What new friends will the day bring? One for one thousand acquainted. What
new home will the night bring? When it all comes down you just throw the bones. On the way I saw five hours of sleep but your
fire makes it all worth while. On the way I wrote words for you to keep. On the way, I saw myself. Lost myself along the way. The Despair Factor
Along the
path where the stream is talking, I breathe the mist and continue walking. The wood it whispers in a language of it's own.
As a sigh escaped my lips I feel the light caress of fingertips that steal away the breath and leave me on my own, waiting
by the stairs. Waiting, I despair. Do I hear the hollow sound, footsteps resounding on this frozen ground, or the familiar
disappointment of the echoes of my own? Somehow I ended up here in between, where there is always the comfort of knowing I'll
never be seen when I fall. I wait for just one touch and I fall. Weightless, endless, faithless, I'll adore you. A single
touch before I fade. Painless let me pass through. Morningstar
I saw a star beneath
the stairs glowing through the melting walls. Who will be the first to begin their fall? Or will we become one? Am I the star
beneath the stairs? Am I a ghost upon the stage? Am I your anything? I saw a star beneath the stairs glowing bright before
descent and in the morning there is nothing left but what's inside of me. And I don't want to die tonight; will you believe
in me? And I don't want to fall into the light. Will you wish upon? Will you walk upon me? I don't want to die tonight. Will
you.
| Black Sails in the Sunset |
Strength Through Wounding
Through our bleeding, we are one. Through
the darkness breaks the light. Through the light unending pain. Deify the wretched ones till the darkness comes again. PorphyriaI know... It's here we retreat, for where else could
we go? To great disbelief there is somewhere we belong. In negative space supposed flaws go unseen, but our strength is shown.
In darkness together we're bringing the light. In darkness together we are forming. The fire tomorrow is born of the night,
in darkness together we ignite. From all we've been shunned but we found a new home. To great discontent it is greatness that
we own. In luminous eyes, reflections of fear absolute... All hate what we've become. In darkness together we're bringing
the light. In darkness together we are forming. The fire tomorrow is born of the night, in darkness together we ignite. Through
our will we bring fear. Left to burn beneath the sun. We are one. When daylight forms blinding walls where do we go? Days
arid are scorching all. When daylight forms blinding, binding walls where do we go? The darkness calls. ExsanguinationWelcome the whole new pain and take comfort in
what you've become. I waved as I passed myself along the way. I have arrived so unashamed but my reflection no longer seems
the same. It seems much dimmer now... it seems so dim. Just stumble and fall into a world that's over crowded. And you will
find me. Won't recognize me; and I won't recognize myself. I've arrived so unashamed, but all my senses no longer seem the
same. I can sense everything. My sight's so clear. In an instant,, my life just slipped away, I fought for life, the whole
time you were holding me down. You watched me dying. Holding me down, you brought my rebirth. Malleus MaleficarumOpen my eyes as I submerge and I won't deny
what I've been since birth. I'll die drowned by your standards. Breathe in the life of the summmer's death as the orange and
red breathe their first breath, so welcome as they're burning through. We all begin to burn. Autumn's flame dance's in my
eyes Set alight for all we've learned. My ashes falling. My skin is singed but it heals my heart and with glowing pride I'll
wear my scars. I'm honored by your hatred. Leaves fall we arise again, and the end impending, it will begin. So welcome as
it's burning through. Ashes fall and I'm rising up again. Ashes fall. Ashes fall. Ashes fall as we all arise. Narrative Of Soul Against SoulTo the wounded: I have seen
the self image they've forced you to reduce to shattered glass, with the only remaining value lying in its jagged edges. But
the few who warrant waking for await their recognition. No fear of death but with fear of life, your weakness kills everyone.
So live. Angels for everyone. For no lack of searching I can't seem to find one. Angels in everyone. What of all their promises?
Can't seem to find much more than lies. Angels in anyone. A permanent solution to a temporary problem. Before I'd lay me down
to rest, I'd throw away everything to live. Clove Smoke CatharsisLean against the night and laugh as I try
to scale the walls. Ingnored futility fills the air. You're only there to watch me fall...If only pure sweetness was offered,
why's this bitter taste left in my mouth? If I could catch my breath just to exhale, I'd know that I held it in to long...
From above comes a faint smile, a new vantage such a view. Familiarity know disowned. Just sit and stare as I walk away. Lower It An invitation, excluding no one. So walk right in and destroy the fucking place. You've lost your right
to be part of my family. The family that welcomed you. You joined and left in disgrace. Your flag was flaming before it ever
started flying. Your flag was burning, burning down everyone in true salute. Sense of commitment. A sense of pride. I heard
you say that we shared a destiny. Now it's plain to see you've got no sense at all. The name that once honored, you disgraced
and made a mockery. I could always see the smoke from miles away. I could always see the weakness in your eyes. Far away I
feel the lies. While the sky is burning. You will always be unwanted. The Prayer PositionNow! Peel the skin back from the flesh. Steal
the flesh back from the starving static minds. From nature we must stray, to clarity we'll climb. Deadly impulse seems so
natural, just look beyond it and we'll find a brand new evolution. Here begins a brand new line. And in the distance there's
a gathering, that no longer seems so far away. Pushed to our knees so let us pray, and all together we'll bring the real rain.
Watch all that's wasted wash away, so let it come. Our will be done. Stature retrieved, regain our form. Break free from instinct
that's left us all confined. From nature we must stray to clarity we'll climb. Tradition ingrained, now impermissible. Now
comes a call for all to find a brand new evolution. Here begins a brand new line. I can't help but fear, look to my species
and tremble, to think that God is just... And in the distance there's a gathering that no longer seems so far away. No Poetic Device
I've been
dreaming. I was lucid. I was dreaming blood was seeping from my pores. Who'd believe that it was all my own decision? Cracked
faces and medicated smiles. Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in. For even needle open my chest and insert
ten pins. I just anticipate what awaits when I awake... break. I die in my daydreams. The gardens have all been overgrown.
I pushed my hand through the thorns to crush the final rose. A deadly secret only I suffer to know. I can't eradicate what
awaits when I awake... break. I die in my day dreams. The Last KissHung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll
see. All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company. The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink, I can't stop the insects
that are feeding, pull the needles from beneath my skin. I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every peice. You'll
love the eyes. Have they always shown so vacantly? The more I show the less you'll want to know. I can't stop the insects
that are feeding, pull the needles from beneath my skin. Now I'm on display. I am becoming. Hurt myself today. It's all for
you. Do you like what I'm becoming? Cut myself today. It's all for you. I part the night, flashing, approaching as I watch
you flee. Pushed through your panes. Seems I've landed quite uncomfortably. But as I pass through souls of broken glass I
can't stop the insects that are feeding. Pull the needles from beneath my skin. Weathered TomeThey're coming 'round again. I've returned and
they've been waiting. Their aged offererings received and returned, passed through wet eyes. I tremble as I feel them rolling
in for, my sins, the old ghosts know. So chilling as I feel them mourn within my soul. As the mourning grows. Unfold before
me. Turn back the page again. Twenty four hours spent wishing that the day was never ending. Shadows of glory shading my heart
again. Recall the summer when I left my heart to cool beneath the shadows I'm coming 'round again. I've returned and no
one's waiting. I strain my eyes to see but it's so hard to read the old tags on the fallen walls. At A GlanceNo haven now as I watch it pour from everywhere.
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air. Gentle caresses, just as paper thin -frail and only- lack the strength
to hold. What if could go to sleep for days, would you count the hours, or would your restlessness consume fading memories
of me? Fall into open arms that offer their protection. Quick to deny that their open to deceit. Long to believe that support
will never cease. Bitter and lonely, those they've left before. The vibrant heart so quickly growing old, the warmest eyes
so quickly growing cold. Just a glance for they don't care to see what becomes of me. God Called In Sick TodayLet's admire the pattern forming. Murderous
filigree. I'm caught in the twisting of the vine. Go ascend with ivy, climbing. Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling
behind. I can't help my laughter as she cries. My soul brings tears to angelic eyes. Let's amend the classic story, close
it so beautifully, I'll let animosity unwind. Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully. I'll still feel the violence
of the lines. I can't stand my laughter as they cry. My soul brings tears to angelic eyes. And miles away my mother cries.
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence. Midnight SunWhat went down on the side of the road? What I saw
at the edge of the sea. Only those elements time cannot wear, and they follow. What seeped out throught the cracks
in time, what sucks out the color in me? What awaits beyond infinity? Beyond and to all time I stand. What blew in with
the great gale? What weighed down the falling leaves? What came forth from the remains? What has always lived and
gone unseen? What has caused the night to fall? Who speaks of eternity? Who awakes to night eternally?
more soon!
