Was it all really the strangest dream I ever had
Thousands of illusions trapped in a $19 bottle
I could have bought reality with the money I used on lies
I could have died a happy man with the hope I used on lives
We ran through trees that were not there
We were both chasing religion
But you ...
She whispers in my ear,
For me to make her feel like a woman.
But I can't if I'm still a tortured boy.
She's my mysterious mermaid,
Pulling me under.
Under this water,
I lose her, I lose you, to another desperate, little fish.
But I'm gonna find you,
I'm going to fin...
I feel your hot breath on me,
Heating me in this cold, cold cave.
Your frosty eyes illuminate the darkness,
Yet I still can't see you.
I give my neck to you,
Exposed.
Cut me with that dull knife,
That pink knife you lick your lips with.
Taste buds that taste everything,
All the pai...
Flowers withered in the field,
Of where he lay his head.
Father, lay me to bed.
Sing me songs of how you buried God,
And tales of the odd,
Within the gates of oblivion.
Of containment,
And sad separation.
A black cowl spread across my legs.
The collapsing of bones,
At his feet,
And wher...
Dreams are a dangerous place, I've realized.
It is where you are,
Where you reside,
Another circle of hell, I presume.
A secret. A living, breathing secret, she is.
Inadvertently, she brings me misery in form.
I wish I knew why I love you,
It's not what you are.
Is what I wished ...
In the end,
We'll still be.
In the end,
There will be nothing else,
But you and me.
If there's an end,
Let it end with death.
Nothing more than regret,
Nothing less than forgiveness.
Nothing but love.
Lonely people hold their secrets,
Afraid to lose what little they have.
W...
When was I a mystery?
When I came through to you,
From the protruding fog?
Unleash...unleash me.
Pale iris in my eyes.
Unleash me, upon your loveless existence.
When was I a mystery?
When I broke your reality?
When I became a dream?
I became unforgettable.
You became my desire.
Unleash ...
Sapphire,
In her sinking eyes,
So beautiful, so clear.
She holds me close,
The melancholy rain pours down,
And she tells me to never let go.
But I'll have to, when I die.
She says she'll be buried with me.
Sapphire eyes, and all.
Outside judgements,
But we survive it all,
Ou...
Are you my savior,
Come to check my behavior?
Are you my lover?
Are you my keeper?
My reaper?
Beneath warm cover lies cold and still,
My caring.
You say I'm daring,
I'm just enlightened,
You say you're frightened,
I would laugh if I could.
I hide my face behind a mask,
...
Taken for granted,
An angel without her promised wings.
She has seen the gates of heaven,
And the sins of man.
She has walked on clouds,
And walked on gravel in an alley.
She has danced in the rain,
And danced above it.
Rest and collect yourself,
Think with your heart.
Live carefree and ...
My, my,
Oh sugar pie.
We're all alone,
No mother, no clone.
In the house,
Sounds of a mouse,
Scare us to death,
It holds our breathe.
It takes our courage,
It takes feeling,
Fear from the ground to the ceiling.
With lights on,
We say goodnight,
But it's hard to sleep,
...
In those eyes,
The fire of the sun burns, your iris is a deep orange.
You cry water from the moon as you shout.
I'll hold you,
And I'll reassure you.
I'll protect you, and you'll see I'm not all bad.
The esoteric moon, hold on to me.
In those eyes,
I am nothing b...
Tonight,
The line of men walk the streets,
Under the moonless sky.
We miss those long past the sky rockets,
And into the mysterious black holes.
They travel to what we can never see,
Must never feel.
The untouched eyes of the town's daughter,
...
Love has arrived,
Back again,
Through the ages, hand-in-hand.
A lovely unit, a marching band.
Smooth feet beneath the sand,
Walking to the beautiful tree of love,
Walking to the beautiful tree of love.
I'm your king, you're my queen,
Living out our only dream.
No one else but yo...
It takes me,
It takes my soul,
Into the water.
Where we'll be.
It finds my peace,
And It drowns it.
It takes my rationality,
My sanity,
And It crushes it.
So I am a madman swimming
Into
Anger.
I have no reason,
To stay afloat.
I will drag you down with me.
I want to break you in ...
Vendetta,
Bring me reason,
Reason for vengeance.
No escape, not this time.
Your heart is in a vice,
Like you were mine,
And I won't let go until it screams.
Disease,
I am a virus,
Infecting your soul,
Everything you are I see now.
A manipulative temptation.
Nothing more you can hi...
Why am I waiting for you?
You didn't wait for ME,
You're such a fool.
You were a running water of gold,
Of which I drank the sweetest,
Now what once was sweet,
Turned sour.
I was floating in bliss,
Gravity let me down.
Grim has come for you, you see.
Charon will now take you aw...
I want to be home, and for those creatures to die.
In few words I tell the girl I can't stay,
Not here, not anymore.
And she asks me why.
I tell her there's someone else,
Someone back on earth who I need.
She looks at me with her red eyes,
And her shrill shrieks pierce the still n...
I did everything I wanted to,
With you,
Without you,
I walked the path to mystery,
There was no clear road, no clear future.
And I fell out of the world.
I say I love you,
...all of you.
You may say I speak in lust and burning desire,
But I am pure in intention.
You ask who am ...
Drinking wine under the charming moon,
Drinking their sorrows away into the dusk.
With the blood of their enemies in the glasses,
They feast happily.
The moon moves fast tonight,
Over the party of the dead.
Men walk through the crowds in bird masks,
Boasting of their adventures throughout n...
Grains of sand fill the air,
As His son is taken away.
He came into us like a rush of air,
He was gone just as sudden.
We should have never exhaled.
A crown of thorns for our king.
Set him upon his three day throne.
Listen to the word of the ruler.
A new order is upon us.
Grab your prayer...
I walk the streets which are layered with confetti,
Feathers scattered around me.
Dressed in black, I look around me.
I see an old lady helped across a street,
A homeless shelter active in the cloudy morning,
And I wonder what else we're capable of.
This is a parade of life,
And...
In that wasteland fairytale,
We spoke of times forever.
When you look into my eyes, what do you see?
What am I made of?
I'm gonna show you things never before seen.
The complex story of a teen.
A horror show that makes Dracula hide.
To these promises, I'm tied.
Don't push me...
Let's do this, baby.
Go ahead and ask around.
'Cause I'm a king, baby.
One of four in the town.
Girls are a dime a dozen,
They said I've kissed hundreds.
I find it funny, one; she was my cousin.
But I deny all claims,
'Cause it's a claim to fame.
I'm not...
