FOR MALLORY.
Forever human
May you listen to the child when she cries?
Like a lamb before the slaughter; For the monster in disguise.
I’ll arive half alive.
Bury me in satin with a love song written pretty on my hands.
Lay me in the river with nothing but my skin and force me a fabricated memory of broken cuts and paper hearts.
I’ll be home again.
Bit the apple off the tree.
I waited for your remedy and I never figured he would come looking for me.
I guess that’s my myopic tendency.
We’ll restore her original festered state, give her a purpose and a name.
We’ll watch her closely as she grows into a ghost.
Bury her in lace with 16 candles to light her way.
Then toss her into the ground and pray to God she drowns.
She’ll be home again real soon.
Forever human, forever human, forever human.
Goodbye, Monster
I’m not gonna pretend you didn’t break my heart.
If only you hadn’t broken my back too.
If you cut my wrists open, I hope you find dirt.
Because to you that’s all i’m worth.
Well, It’s not worth it to keep daydreaming.
It’s not worth it to draw nightmares.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Goodbye, monster.
I’m not through with you and i’ve got plenty to lose but it’s worth it if you’re tossed deep under ground.
I’ve been buried alive far too many times to watch you drown.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Hello, beautiful.
Goodbye, monster
Hello, beautiful
I guess i’m sorry that i’ve led this on for miles apart.
We are estranged.
And the only reason you could endure my world is because you couldn’t admit I was an awful mistake.
Somebody save me, ‘cause I know you won’t.
You’re not a hero, just a freak in a mask.
Silence reflection, it’s just so damn rude to speak where you’re not wanted.
i’m just playing the used.
So, hello memory, won’t you come to comfort me.
Can I have back, please, my energy?
sweet, sweet summer rain, fall a little lighter.
Set shimmer to glitter and set this town to fire.
Hello, beautiful.
Why such a mourning glow?
Did you dream again?
Tell me, was it him?
Rushing back to haunt you, rushing back to break you down.
Do you know what love is?
Do you know what love is?
It’s his face. His voice. Sound. Touch. Taste.
It’s a waste.
The beast
you say she’s a liar.
You say that she’ your everything and more
You say she’s just a vampire.
You say she’s everything you could ever adore.
And she’s a lunatic.
She feeds off the minds of the weak.
Now, she’s just the antichrist.
well, tell me do you think that this is the night she breeds again.
Breeds again.
Tell me is she breeding again.
With angels.
You say that you love her for her mind.
The mind of a sadomasochist.
And what happens when that line.
Snaps into the wrath of a perfect sadist?
She’ll leave you bleeding.
scraping the pills from the bathroom sink.
She’ll leave you terrified.
So tell me, do you think that this is the night she breeds again.
Breeds again.
Tell me is she breeding again.
with angels.
The flaw inside the human virus
it’s a light, a fire if you may.
The games we play.
She’s the captain of the whole damn team
if you counted the fact that she crept into your dreams
while you slept.
What a mess.
Well, is she breeding again?
Breeding again?
Is the best breeding again?
With angels?
We are ghosts
I could tell you a thousand reasons and a thousand lies
but they can’t hide the way the shimmer is fading from your eyes.
and we will too.
We’ll wash out into a background of clear
and dissappear.
we are ghosts.
I could tell you the morning was good,
but there would be another lie.
And there’s a reason the night comes slowly
and takes us by surprise.
Like we will too.
Then we fade into shades of grey with the sunlight.
Swallow your might.
We are small.
We can talk to angels all we want, hoping they might here.
But the whispers we so vainly speak fade back into the atmousphere.
Like we will too.
We’ll creep into the cold, cruel Earth.
And pray for rebirth.
We are ghosts.
Rebirth.
(talk to angels)
The starting point is our rebirth.
(hope they whisper back)
Water
Come on, thunder, don’t you wonder
where your rain goes after a storm?
Come on, shy girl, won’t you ask him to dance.
Just take him by the hand.
Come on river, flow a little quicker.
We won’t wait for love all summer long.
Breathe in the water; Nothing is sweeter
than the taste of the summer as the raven sings his song.
