A Winter's Tale

A chilling silence. A world of violets. My breath materialized again. Immaculate. Inanimate. A comfort cutting time I see... a string of white lights. Forever walking through December. Forever longing for a sign of life, a bringer of light. Forever wandering together through a world of violets. Ice everlasting. A full moon casting a purple veil enshrouding all. I perambulate, somnambulant. A solace piercing time I see... a string of white lights. If only one for night, if only for one night, if only for one night remember. If only for one night, if only for one night, if only for one night together.

Fall Children

As the cries start to penetrate still air, this day we celebrate. The wait now ends. From four corners smoke plumes into reddened sky. In the face of lantern light, my destiny flies. This day so hallowed, from here to forever its will I will follow. Tonight will come to life. Deadened branches stirred by whispers in the wind. Fall children fill the streets at dusk, at last, it all will begin.

Halloween

bonfires burning bright pumpkin faces in the night i remember halloween dead cats hanging from poles little dead are out in droves i remember halloween brown leaved vertigo where skeletal life is known i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween candy apples and razor blades little dead are soon in graves i remember halloween this day anything goes burning bodies hanging from poles i remember halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween halloween, halloween, halloween, halloween

The Boy Who Destroyed the World

Once there was a boy who had vibrant glow, but as it goes, someone took it from him. One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan, he said "Will you wrap your arms around me as I'm falling?" Remember when we were all so beautiful? But since then we've lost our glow. They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated. He said, "I now feel more desperately alone, even though they wrapped their arms around me as I'd fallen." They said it hurt their eyes, but he would never know that they were claiming regret as their own... as their own dissipated.

Who Knew?

Every single notion burned indelibly. Every motion leaving scars behind. All sincere emotion received skeptically with no preparation for life eternal. Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods. Paper cuts are leaving blood behind. All the silent laughter ringing piercingly. I blink making my eyes mine. Words in their worthlessness, they should be weighted down, but do I truly wish their cessation?

3 1/2

Open wounds in the palms of my hands, festering through infectious time. I feel so faint as my life spills over you. Backstep over glass as I repent. I fear I cannot prevent myself from spilling your life all over me. I'm so sick, so sick of myself. Mother, say you'll pray for me. I'm premature in my decay. Shards of glass swimming in my eyes. A small voice in the back of my mind that's whispering words I never want to hear. I pray that you won't hesitate, as you watch me degenerate, to reach in my wounds and extract all of my fear. My suffocation, asphyxiation. I've been choking on my own blood.

Overexposure

I have seen ten roses bleed, seen new petals fall, I have felt my soul tear. I have felt nothing at all. Watched what was vibrant fade as shadows fall. I can see it's been done, all that was pure had been eradicated. I can see it's all done. Nothing can erase the damage done. I have seen ten liars love, seen two lovers lie, seen youth, blinded, smiling. I have seen deciet handed down from the highest height, below the lowly. I have seen beasts bathed in glory, tread across the angels as they crawl. Take it all away. Regress to nothing. Can someone please take these images from my mind?

The Hanging Garden (Cure Cover)

Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden
Please don't speak
In the hanging garden
No one sleeps

Catching haloes on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angels
In the heat of the night
The animals scream
In the heat of the night
Walking into a dream...

Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
In the hanging garden

Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In a hanging garden
Change the past
In a hanging garden
Wearing furs and masks...

Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden

In the hanging garden

Now the World

Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said "I can erase it for you dear." That summer created those words that came to life in three. They were denied by you. Summer I laid down below a glitter adorned night and silently sparkled my own way. Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light. You gave the dark to me. I looked inside to find the one I sent away. I nearly froze when I stepped inside to find the flowers turned to gray. I closed my eyes and kissed them one lest time. I wanted this excoriation. I thrive on this self mutilation. Summer, a morning so pale, alone when they found me. As I remained sleeping I heard them say "This summer created a boy of abject misery." He was designed by you. So like a lost child I will hide, and like a lost lie I will find a way to return to the one who made me. Cover your eyes and we'll die together. Will you cry for me? Will you cry for me, or will you cry with me? I've been a lonely one. I've had this whole world drained from me. Am I the only one? I've had this world drained from me. Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me. Said "I can erase it for you dear."

Reiver's Music

I gave up fighting. I've come to see these halos. Am I now worse off for this one night? All come enchanted, welcomed by the halos. All the while we know those enamored never miss us because we are all now in dying days, hear nothing and see no one. Nothing is all we own. I've taken to speaking words that only they know. How soon I did see, all here is unseen. I gave up trying. I've come to be these halos and welcome to our show those enamored who won't miss us because we are all now in dying days. With only echoes proving that I'm here with all the wraiths, for all these years and I have no desire to leave

"Values Here"

[Originally by Dag Nasty]

What'd you say
When I said we'll be here through tomorrow
In my heart and in my head
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems
I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
Values here in my heart
And we'll be here through tomorrow
Every day's a brand new start
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside

"Red Hat"

I'm on the sea so bargain with me, so I can be home once again.
to lose ways, to sing, an odd time of death, to lose and not to win.
Why must I, always have to lose with an easy life?
Why cant I, just pretend to fall asleep? No longing goes through the night.
Caroline was greater for breaking down the set, wanting to find a look.
Can’t remember days, the days we posses, only the day she left.
I see her in the crucifix, my mind begins to slip.
My love had fallen right to a T.
Then I close my eyes and the tears begin to run, the nightmare has just begun.
Why must I always have to lose with an easy life?
Why cant I, just pretend to fall asleep? no longing goes through the night.

"Totalimmortal"

Hope Unknown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I pass right through the nameless ones.
I know that, hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my God, I'm drowning.

This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
This rage, I can not let go.

I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my flawless souls.

I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my flawless soul.

So alone,
sometimes I swear that I can hear, the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that, I alone
fear those who finally ceased to feel, that they're alone inside this place.
I am the misplaced.

This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
This day never seems to end.
The rage, I can not let go.

I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my the flawless soul.

I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my the flawless soul.

Now every face looks familiar,
found every face would melt away until,
now.
Everyone, do you know?
I know your deception.

Now every face looks familiar,
found every face would melt away until,
now.
Everyone, do you know?
(We know)
I know your deception.

I hear them... call.
I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my flawless soul.

I hear them call my name,
I feel them gnawing out holes,
all throughout my flawless soul

"Head Like A Hole"

god money i'll do anything for you.
god money just tell me what you want me to.
god money nail me up against the wall.
god money don't want everything he wants it all.

[Bridge:]
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me

head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.
head like a hole.
black as your soul.
i'd rather die than give you control.

[Chorus:]
bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.
bow down before the one you serve.
you're going to get what you deserve.

god money's not looking for the cure.
god money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure.
god money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
god money's not one to choose

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

"Rabbits Are Roadkill On Route 37"

What once did exist
Now is meaningless
And doesn't it seem funny?
How soon you did forget
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember

Desperation
Devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
is isolation
Self damnation
A life that I own
was shot and worthless now

What I knew was wrong
One who lived is gone
Guess it was just an echo
When you would sing our song
All the notes you'd forgotten now
You left abandoned

I remember

Desperation
Devastation
All I truly know (all that I know...)
is isolation
Self Damnation
A life that I own
was shot and worthless now

I can hate myself more, more than anyone.

will you join me?S

I know you know that this tortures me
have I created the suffering?
show me
or do you happily cut further in
to settle words that decide that binds me?

Now all I feel is

Desperation
Devastation
All I truly know (all that I know)
is isolation
Self damnation
A life that I'd own
was shot and worthless now

"Man In A Suitcase"

[Originally by Police]

I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell, I know something i won't tell.

I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Another key for my collection
For security I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well
The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

I'd invite you back to my place
I know its mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me all right
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man in a suitcase

"Transference"

No room for doubt
accusations one to ten,
You've got my number boy
you've got my number boy,
No wasting time
now, you've got me dialed,
I'm one-hundred-eleven
less than perfection

Pride has faltered now your left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now your left crawling (no shame)
sealed lips will not cease the calling

Pathetic eyes
complimenting what's inside,
I've got your number boy
I've got your number boy,
So appalled
as I watch you purge,
Now see if your fiction
reads salvation

Pride has faltered now your left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now your left crawling (no shame)
sealed lips will not cease the calling

No room for doubt
no pity is deserved,
You've got my number boy
you've got my number boy,
Coincidence
you've assessed correct,
I'm one-hundred-eleven
less than perfection

Pride has faltered now your left crawling (keep your disease)
sealed lips will not cease the calling (your disease),
Pride has faltered now your left crawling (no shame)
sealed lips will not cease the calling

"Dream Of Waking ( pins and needles)"

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 let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
go!
with eyes sewn shut i still can see (i end up somewhere)
all that is surrounding me (somewhere between)...
between a dream (i end up somewhere) and motionless reality,
will i forever lie?
i feel it 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.
please let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
please let them waken me.
go!
with eyes sewn shut i still can see (i end up somewhere)
all that is surrounding me (somewhere between)...
between a dream (i end up somewhere) and motionless reality,
will i forever lie?
binded by my hands, by my legs, by my eyes,
by my mouth, bind everything.
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.
what's on the other side of the mirror?
to cry, i try, to break the static keeping me here,
the static keeping me here in between.

"Just Like Heaven"

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

"Don't Change"

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
