The Burning Body

Tell my mother I ain’t ever coming home
Burn my body all the way down to the coals
Spent my time drifting in history’s ugly abode
And I’m feeling ambitious baby
When I start telling lies
Feel the evil creep and crawlin
All the way down inside
Visions of excess and stories to be told
Feel like I’m breathing underwater everywhere I go
Inhale up this black smoke and I’m set to fucking explode
All the people on their knees
Prayers for a quickening dark
Oh lips that beg for a painless sleep

Reprobate

And in love
With a womb that’s warm
Within which my hate fills
I’ll rise above
Rain wash
Away, there in my cell
Reprobate
I’ll take this in
Soulless
Cave in
Abductress
Forsaken
Forgotten
Felched
Forgiven
Kiss my stomach ulcer
For the pride and the prince
Leather vision spinning
Dropping on a pin
Kiss me low
Oh lord let me go
Ridgeline lit up at night
Flesh smell brings me to my knees
Screaming for the edge of the knife
Leaving this hospital life
Picture every girl and boy
Sickened you could’ve been
Sickened you could’ve been
I’ll take this in
Soulless
Cave in
Abductress
Forsaken
Forgotten
Felched
Forgiven

And I’m not coming home
I’m feeling so alive
In the city vein lit up at night
Walk to the door
Until I know the truth
Can’t fight it now
Too just give in and love you
All over my hands
Your all over my eyes
Speak up and all is tongue tied
And I’m standing above myself
Float through the window
Am I dead and what else?
look so good
By the window where you lay
I can feel it
if you could
Oh shame
Oh please oh no now turn it off now
Oh please oh yes I can’t get enough now
Oh please oh no now turn it off now
The second time around
And i’m not coming home
Pacing down the walls
To your light where I know
I’ll fight back
It’ll end all the same
All over my hands
Your all over my eyes
Speak up and all is tongue tied
And I’m standing above myself
Float through the window
Are you dead and what else?

Outer Dark

Some just smile and say they love you
Others know that it's better from below
Hey, how are you?!
Oh I’m feeling fine.
In the outer dark
I’m wandering, wandering
I think I’ll find my way
Feel so thin now
My bones won’t break
Puncture this coming dawn
And tie my limbs to its lung
Here I am in a foreign land
All the children who break my hands
And flay my skin
its pounding in
They’re pouring petrol on my bones
Singeing Silent
They won’t let go of their innocence
Like little lovers in the dark
Hey, how are you?
Oh I’m feeling fine
Your letters linger just like snow
Wounds for words I won’t let go

Give me some milk
And leave the light on
The wound is standing still
Shame lingers on
And the shaft of light
That falls upon your face
An embarrassing high
Or stunted embrace
i’ll carry my load
I won’t heave a sigh
My silent love
I’m too afraid to die
I could have everything
If you just say the word
You can take everything
I’ll leave the world
And if I could wake
The dead from their graves
I’ll take your resting vow
put it to flame
So this anger
That’s tearing at my fucking brain
I saw the sunset
Through the deafening spray
Lonely in love
Isolated and spent
I’ll tie all my things up
So they won’t move a bit
You could’ve helped me
If all you did was fucking try
You could’ve helped me
All I did was fucking lie

Parasomnia

Pain can kill what lurks beneath
With love on my father’s breath it creeps
My sights alright in the night
But I can’t tell if I’ll wake soon
My mother’s fingers through my hair
As the night reclaims her too
So I’ll try and pull myself from sleep
These stairs from your bedroom are so steep
This is just a nightmare
Where I’m crawling on my hands and knees
And the moon turns round in the ground
As the stars light the dead beneath
And I'll cry…
Feel the earth
Feel my pulse
Seconds in
I know I won’t lose control
Too cynical
to speak a lie
I’m an animal
And no I’m not afraid to
try and pull myself from sleep
These stairs from your bedroom are so steep
My sights alright in the night
But I can’t tell if I’ll wake soon
My mother’s fingers through my hair
As the night recalls her too
And I’m ready to go now
Feel the blood as it pours out
Everything I ever wanted too
Keep it close
This clutching piece of you
