Lyrics



"Prelude 12/21"

This is what I brought you. This you can keep.
This is what I brought. You may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

This is what I brought you. This you can keep.
This is what I brought. You may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.(x2)

This is what I thought, I thought you'd need me.
This is what I thought, so think me naive.
I'd promise you a heart you'd promise to keep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.(x3)



"Kill Caustic"


So, I'm feeling much worse.
You're better.(x2)
Your designer drug won't work for me.
Connect to a three volt.
I hope your battery dies.
How could you run on such voltage?

All the same, I remain the one to blame and I'm demonized, purified, justified as you let yourself show.
So now you'll love these screams, what's left of me. (Don't Speak)
Love these screams like I do. (My name)

As the infinite stops cold
just nine and the six are gone.
Guess I was the one to
ride that dirty ride
that is turning so fast now
I cannot hold on
but, at this pace,
who would want to?

All the same, I remain the one to blame and I'm demonized, purified, justified as you let yourself show.
So now you'll love these screams, what's left of me. (Don't Speak)
Love these screams like I do. (My name)
Don't speak my name.

Don't ever speak my name again.
So, now you'll love these screams,
what's left of me. (Don't Speak)
Love these screams like I do. (My name)



"Miss Murder"

Hey Miss Murder can I (x2)
make beauty stay if I take my life?

With just a look they shook
and heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky,
he left them all behind.
We're left to wonder why
he left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I (x2)
make beauty stay if I take my life?

Dreams of his crash won't pass.
Oh, how they all adored him.
Beauty will last when spriraled down.
The stars that mystified,
he left them all behind
and how his children cried.
He left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I (x2)
make beauty stay if I take my life?

What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would glady bet my life upon it
that the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out without hope.
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin,
ever searching for what we were promised...
reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go...
but who would ever let us put their filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder can I (x2)
make beauty stay if I take my life?

Hey Miss Murder can I (x2)
make beauty stay if I take my life?



"Summer Shudder"

Listen when I say it's real.
Real life is undefined. why must you be so miserable?
Everything you take makes me more unreal.
Real lines go undefined how could this be so miserable?

Under the summer rain I burnt away.
Under the summer rain You turned away.

Listen. I can't make a sound or feel fine, I kissed the lies.
Why must they be so kissable?
Listen as I break the fourth wall's seal.
Gorgeous eyes shine suicide. When will we be invisible?

Under the summer rain I burnt away.
Under the summer rain You turned away.
x2

This is the fall. This is the long way down
and our looks look smaller now...
and our lives look so small.
x2

Under the summer rain I burnt away.
Under the summer rain You turned away.
x3



"The Interview"

Forever waiting for disaster.
What David calls servant and master,
will you play it too?
As this displacement begs for water,
swimming, bathing, drowning in Sorrow,
scream with me.

I crawl across this cracked expansion.
I'll be buried soon
beneath the sand with pure intentions,
wanting something, someone to follow.

For a change I'll refrain from hiding all of me from you.
Here's my lullaby
pray for rain, lose your name and watch all your dreams fall through.
Hush now don't you cry.

I swoon upon my knees come crashing.
Will you bury me?
Today, this small favor I'm asking.

For a change I'll refrain from hiding all of me from you.
Here's my lullaby
pray for rain, lose your name and watch all your dreams fall through.
Hush now don't you cry.
x2

I flee to decemberunderground. As you exhale
I breathe in the waterunderground
and I'll grow pale without you.



"Love Like Winter"

Warn your warmth to turn away.
Here it's December everyday.
Press your lips to the sculptures and surely you'll stay (Love Like Winter)
for of sugar and ice, I am made.

It's in the blood.x2
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love. I taste of blood. He bit my lip and drank my war from years before.

She exhales vanilla lace.
I barely dreamt her yesterday.
Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace "Por Siempre."
She said "it seems you're somewhere far away." to his face.

It's in the blood.x2
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love. I taste of blood. She bit my lip and drank my war from years before.

Love like winter.x2

It's in the blood.x2
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love. I taste of blood. He bit my lip and drank my war from years before.



"Affliction"

Every night devise
new heights in genocide.
Lover I am loveless.

All my friends and I
toast health and suicide.
Lover, I am lonely.

Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?

Oh, I will be all right...just use me.
The future's bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.

World is unified.
Ennui, and I divide.
Lover, I am loveless.

Red days burning might
bleed till the faceless die.
Oh, lover I am lonely.

Were you holding hands when
my palms bled?

Oh, I will be all right...just use me.
The future's bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.x2

So stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless, love.
So stay sweetly numb.
Maintain lifeless love.
So stay sweetly numb.
Remain lifeless, love.

Oh, I will be all right...just use me.
The future's bright without me.
Spend some time walking the line.x2



"The Missing Frame"

One at a time
constants become surreal.
One at a time
heart attacks are concealed.
I can see that I
lose the joys of life
one at a time.

Suicides are revealed.
You will see that I
lost another life
but tonight

I'll let you tear it up
if you don't wake me up.
But, if you tear it
can't reapir it
so please don't wake me
until someone cares.
Now, no one cares.

One at a time
I watched them all forget.
One at a time
I'm lost in little deaths.
It's the place that I
forget my life,
like tonight.

I'll let you tear it up
if you don't wake me up.
But, if you tear it
can't reapir it
so please don't wake me
until someone cares.
Now, no one cares.

Will the flood behind me
put out the fire inside me?
x2

I'll let you tear it up
if you don't wake me up
but if you tear it
we can't repair it.
So, please don't wake me
until someone cares.
Now, no one cares.

I'll let you tear it up
if you don't wake me up
because it's apparent
that you don't care
and it's sunk into me
because I don't care.
Now no one cares.x2



"Kiss And Control"

Watch the stars
turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.

Part your lips a bit more.
I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how
all the bite makrs impress a need to be hear,

a need to see city lights,
like rain, dance and explode,
fall upon debutants
reeling from nights that
kiss and control
all of our broken hearts.

Velvet burns
the wrists while restraining.
You blushed and smiled and said you would stay.

One more time steal my breath,
I'll feed you the sky.
I will show you how.
Steal the glamour from death and before you die,

oh, you should see city lights,
like rain, dance and explode,
fall upon debutants
reeling like nights
thats kiss and control
all of our broken hearts.

"We all want to die like movie stars." you said
as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor
while above us, glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light and death.
Hold me and tell me
"We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch
as city lights dance for us."

see city lights,
like rain, dance and explode,
fall upon debutants
reeling like nights
thats kiss and control
all of our broken hearts.



"The Killing Lights"

Five a.m. on the bathroom floor from the night before, do you find me dreadul?
What a shame such a sad disgrace. Such a pretty face but she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
Am I useable?

It's killing time again.
Put on your face and let's pretend these
killing lights won't kill us all again.

Three a.m. on the city street (when the air is sweet.) I have had my mouth full
but it seems that outside the screen such a pretty face often will look dreadul.
Am I beautiful?
Am I useable?

It's killing time again.
put on your face and let's pretend these
killing lights won't kill us all again.

It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend these
killing lights won't kill us all again.

You see, they always remember.
They never forget a face
when they cut, cut you up.
They remember.

It's killing time again.
put on your face and let's pretend these
killing lights won't kill us all again.

It's killing time again.
Cover your face and we'll pretend these
killing lights won't kill us all again.

"37mm"

Bring your secrets to me.
Just give me your hands and I'll let you feel the wounds
they put in me.

If you believe in me
how can I be dissolving?
If you'd believe me
I'd tell you everything.

Do you fall too?
(Everytime that i)
Yes, I fall.
(Everytime that i)
Do you want to
(I try to pacify)
fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
into me.

Silence can you hear me?
Press me to your lips and I'll suck the poison out.
Who will heal me?

If you keep killing me
How can I be absolving?
Your sins into me,
begin the poisoning.

Do you fall too?
(Everytime that i)
Yes, I fall.
(Everytime that i)
Do you want to
(I try to pacify)
fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
into me.

Time(x3), we're not waiting.
Time(x3), we're no one.

Unknown, Unknown

Do you fall too?
(Everytime that i)
Yes, I fall.
(Everytime that i)
Do you want to
(I try to pacify)
fall into me?
(fall into me)
(fall into me)
into me.
x2

we are no one.
we are no one.
we are one.
we are no one.
we are,
x5



"Endlessly She Said"

Walked into our world and made
horrible sounds.
I can still here them today.
Strangely, they seem
beautiful now though they outlast my love.

Still, each time I always meant
every word, every one.
Thought, in time they finally bent
every word, every one(x2).

"I will wait for you,"
she said,
"endlessly."
"I will wait for you."
So spoke
misery.

I returned to you but found
my empty home.
The radio told me to stay.
As it burned down I sang alone.
You will outlast my love.

Still, each time I always meant
every word, every one.
Thought, in time they finally bent
every word, every one(x2).

"I will wait for you,"
she said,
"endlessly."
"I will wait for you."
So spoke
misery.

I have been waiting for you,
biting as you taught me to.
I have come to relieve you
of life and love.

I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.

I will wait.

I will wait.

"I will wait for you." She said,
Endlessly.
"I will wait for you." So spoke,
Misery.

"I will wait for you"
Wait for you,
Endlessly.

"I will wait for you."
So spoke.

So spoke,
Misery.

I will wait straight through.
As I wait for you
Dear,
Endlessly.



"Rabbits Are Roadkill On Rt. 37"

What once did exist,
Now is meaningless.
And doesn't it seem funny,
How soon you did forget (How soon you did forget)
All the words that now lost their way
But I remember, I remember

Desperation. Devastation.
All I truly know (All that I know)
Is isolation. Self-damnation.
All life that I know
Was shed and worthless now

What I knew was wrong,
One who lived is gone.
Guess it was just an echo,
When you would sing my song (When you would sing my song).
All the notes you've forgotten now
You've left abandoned, I remember

Desperation. Devastation.
All I truly know (All that I know)
Is isolation. Self-damnation.
All life that I know
Was shed and worthless now.

I can
Hate myself
More
More than anyone (will you join me?)

I know you know that this tortures me.
Have I created the suffering?
Show me.
Or do you happily cut further in
to sever what's left inside
that binds me?

Now all I feel is:

Desperation. Devastation.
All I truly know (All that I know)
Is isolation. Self-damnation.
All life that I know
Was shed and worthless now.

Desperation. Devastation.
All I truly know (All that I know)
Is isolation. Self-damnation.
All life that I know
Was shed and worthless (worthless) now.



"Jack The Ripper"

[Originally by Morrissey]

oh, you look so tired
mouth slack & wide
ill-housed & ill-advised
your face is as mean
as your life has been

so, crash into my arms
i want you
you don't agree,
but you don't refuse
i know you

and i know a place
where no one is likely to pass
you don't care if it's late
and you don't care if you're lost
and oh, you look so tired
but tonight, you presumed too much
too much
too much

and if it's the last thing i'll ever do,
i'm gonna get you

crash into my arms
i want you
you don't agree,
but you don't refuse
i know you

oh, crash into my arms
i want you
you don't agree
but you don't refuse
i know you



Flee today with me and we can hide
Until they want you
Where the strange creatures play
Mystic games of strength, disassociate



"Fallen Like The Sky"

Seal my fate.
Seal my, seal your --
Until they eat their own young


This is a lonely war tonight
And I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight
We're soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too


Leave your stain
And love my wounds tonight
Leave like they all do.
Where they strange creatures play
Endless games of fate with a reprobate

Seal our fate.
Seal our, seal your --
'Til we eat our own young


This is a lonely war tonight
And I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight
We're soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too


This is a lonely war tonight
And I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
This is a lonely war tonight
We're soldiers breaking
They were the lonely ones, too


This is a lonely war tonight
And I'm forsaken
Are you a lonely one, too?
Are you a lonely one, too?
(Soldiers breaking...)
Are you a lonely one, too?

"On The Arrow"

he said, "who truly belongs here?"
"not i," she stared, "i'll lie here with you"
he knows no one shines forever
they change with the weather
he said, "i've now stayed too long here"
"goodbye," she said, "i'll wait here for you"
he knows the winds carry sorrow
as they leave, she'll follow
they leave tomorrow
fragments of joy torn apart
a freshly drained heart that beats
disguise themselves through him
he'll say that it's nothing new
and swear this is true
for you, i'll swallow the ocean
i'll swallow the ocean
he said, "who truly belongs here?"
"not i," she said, "i'll lie here to you
i know the sorrow is sacred
and i'll never break you
i'll softly save you"
fragments of joy torn apart
a freshly drained heart that beats
disguise themselves through him
he'll say that it's nothing new
and swear this is true
for you, i'll swallow the ocean
i'll swallow the ocean



"Don't Change"

[Originally by INXS]

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all direction
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark
For too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

I found a love I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long

Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
