Drink the wine my darling, you said
Take your time and consume all of it
But the roses were only to drain my inspiration
The promises were spoiled before they left your lips and

I breathe you in again
Just to feel you underneath my skin
Holding onto the sweet escape
Is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I tell myself that you're are no good for me
I wish you well but desire never leaves
I could fight this to the end
But maybe I don't wanna win

I breathe you in again
Just to feel you underneath my skin
Holding onto the sweet escape
Is always laced with a familiar taste of poison

I don't wanna be saved, I don't wanna be sober
I want you on my mind, in my dreams
Behind these eyes that I wanna wake up
No, not this time

I breathe you in again
Just to feel you underneath my skin
Holding onto the sweet escape
Is always laced with a familiar taste of poison
A familiar taste of poison, a familiar taste of poison

We climb to the top of the hill to see what lies beneath.
Waiting for its time to feed if first we don't kill each other.
Battle scars tell the tale of a life lived hard.
Empty souls left to ponder the question, "why?" Drowning bodies climb to stay above the line.
Cannibals arise.
Now, shut your eyes, cover your ears and stand in line.
We cannot afford the voice of discontent.
Shut down the oppressed.
Silence the mouths that spit the venomous.
Hell on earth.
No one escapes on judgment day.
Something has to give.
Bombs of peace shake the earth.

Disease spreading death
Entire population dies
Dead before you're born
Massive suicide
Vicious game of fear
It's all extermination now
Poison in your veins
Global genocide
Slaughter governs law
The apocalypse begins
Pain becomes the norm
Seeking homicide
Beware the coming storm
That starts illuminating fires
God is laughing hard
Man has gone insane

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

Tip the human scale
Follow revelations plan
It must come to pass
Secret shadows lie
Blue print haunting dreams
In which manipulation wins
Speak no hidden fears
Religion neutralized
Emerged from the dark
Sadist mercenary ride
Realm of this world
Godless messengers
Sickless, mindless hate
Becoming evolution's cure
Planets usher in alignment
God has died

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

God send death, watch it bleed, justified
Manufactured lives born in hell
Angels fall, wings on fire, crucified
Terrorizing man, burn the world
Reflecting eyes, sickle swings, wave of blood
Suicidal mind from the start
Endless pain, open wounds, slit the throat
Radiation child seeks the throne

Strafing down demigods certain death
Coming from the stars, lord of all
Dark rift rise, flourish life, perish man
We destroy ourselves, cease to live
Children's blood feed the dead sea of flesh
Catastrophic fall rest in hell
Flaming corpse, screaming eyes, watch it die
Walk among the dead, pick your grave

[x4]
Like a disease spreading death
Erasing your existence

Satan's hand begins the end
And frees the world forever
Gomorrah's dream to live in sin
Has reached its critical mass
Man himself has become God
And laughs at his destruction
In which we trust a secret government
Is now in total collapse

Disease spreading death
Entire population dies
Dead before you're born
Massive suicide
Vicious game of fear
It's all extermination now
Poison in your veins
Global genocide
Slaughter governs law
The apocalypse begins
Pain becomes the norm
Seeking homicide
Beware the coming storm
That starts illuminating fires
God is laughing hard
Man has gone insane

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

Signs of disease, rivers red, blood in ice, plague
Signs of disease, rivers red, blood in ice, plague
Signs of disease, rivers red, blood
Welcoming our death

say goodbye, don't follow.

Shiny, shiny,
Shiny boots of leather,
Whiplash, girlchild, in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant don't forsake him,
Strike dear mistress, and cure his heart

Good God have I been dreaming,
this paralyzing feeling,
was I left alone,
where have you gone,
where you somewhere else, just sleeping,
If I wait to wake you,
I'll never ask you,would ya take my hand,
in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
take my hand in the deepest stand,
my open eyes see everything,
passing all the days through window panes,
and as the summer would change I'd stay the same,
this paradise was nothing new,
but the paradise get's tired of you,
a single conversation stole my attention,
would ya take my hand,
in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
take my hand in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
my open eyes see everything and you see nothing,
and don't forget it,
take my hand in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
take my hand in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
take my hand in the deepest stand,
would ya stay and drown in me,
Can ya stay and drown in me,
would ya stay and drown in me?

I was up above it.











Now I'm down in it.

Got a Devil's Haircut in my mind.

please, remember me.

protect me from what I want
protect me
protect me

[Better than you by the Swans.]
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
Sit here. Now look in the mirror -
Something's wrong, your face is distorted.
Feel the flow: there's blood in your body.
And you can see clearly every heartbeat you make.
Close your eyes, touch your mouth in the mirror -
That's the wound that is made where the past meets the future.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I can see clearly through this veil of reality.
And I can remember the feel of your skin.
No you never knew me and you never will
When nothing's there, nothing is concealed.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.
I'm so glad I'm better than you,
I'm so glad I'm better than you are.

Aurora swims in the ether
Emerald fire scars the night sky

Solstafir!!!

Amber streams from Sol
Are not unlike the waves of the sea
Nor the endless horizon of ice

Solstafir!!!

Aurora swims in the ether
Emerald fire paints the twilight

Heidrun bleeds the golden nectar
For the raising sun and the moon
The midnight wolves who watch over the dawn

Solstafir!!!

I could watch you for a lifetime
You're my favorite movie
A thousand endings
You mean everything to me
I never know what's coming
Forever fascinating
Hope you don't stop running
To me 'cause I'll always be waiting

[Fear Of A Blank Planet]

Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blinds
To let it inside
The bed is unmade,
Some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
The flicker on the screen
A movie actress screams
I'm basking the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling round the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

X-Box is a god to me
A finger on the switch
My mother is a bitch
My father gave up ever trying to talk to me

Don't try engaging me
The vaguest of shrugs
The prescription drugs
You'll never find a person inside

My face is Mogadon
Curiosity has given up on me
I'm tuning out desires
The pills are on the rise

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

I'm through with pornography
The acting is lame
The action is tame
Explicitly dull
Arousal annulled

Your mouth should be boarded up
Talking all day with nothing to say
Your shallow proclamations
All misinformation

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam
Their clothes are all black
The music is crap

In school I don't concentrate
And sex is kinda fun, but just another one
Of all the empty ways of using up the day

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left, I simply am not here

Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom
Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with this boredom

You don't try to be liked
You don't mind
You feel no sun
You steal a gun
To kill time

You're somewhere
You're nowhere
You don't care
You catch the breeze
You still the leaves
So now where?

For my mom "Fragile Bird" by City and Colour

When she sleeps there is a fever dream, yeah
It brings the night terrors to harm this fragile bird
She speaks in tongues, the words they come undone, yeah
Then with a wayward mind she struggles through the night

All that I can do, is hope she makes it through the night
Through the night

These cold nightmares they make her worse for wear
Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart
And when she wakes in her fragile state,
Well, she calls my name hoping that I keep her safe

All that I can do, is hope she makes it through
All that I can do, is hope she makes it through

Through the night
Through the night
Through the night
Through the night

All that I can do, is hope she makes it through
All that I can do, is hope she makes it through
Through the night
