Debased

Drifting on the edge of coherent thought
Relentless in pursuit of the pleasures sought
Here we never feel the pangs of shame
As the moth is drawn into the flame
So corruption's effervescent charm
Makes us numb enough to keep us warm
Wrapped inside a shell you can hear the wave
Locked inside a box we can misbehave
Curiosity compels the mind
Inhibition causing gears to grind
Ever gazing at the bloodshot moon
Slowly penetrating love's cocoon
Welcome to the world of the girls and boys
Welcome to the world of oppressive noise
While the curtains turn the cradle black
Gives protection from the guilt we lack
And the dawn becomes a sunlit cage
Forces sanity to disengage
The babies and the bank vaults hold treasures vast
The sacred and the secret both fading fast
Swirling in an ocean, electric blue
Sacrificial lamb of the blinding truth
All the angel wings dissolve in sun
As we're driven to be joined as one
"You can own me but you mustn't love,
Lie before me as I rise above."
Revolution comes like the silent thief
Retribution burns like the dying leaf
Crack the sky and harvest all the weak
Take advantage of the turning cheek
And though the blossom blooms forth from seed
It is the flower that begins to bleed
The pulsing of the heartwork marks passing time
Awakening the ego
Let progress shine

Royal Blue

I see your shadow night and day
I feel your pulse from miles away
A song I know by memory
I said I'd make it on my own
Thought I'd be safer all alone
I fell away from sanity
But now I could use some advice
I take a chance and roll the dice
But I'm afraid that I'm only dreaming
I'm dreaming
You're like a deadly masquerade
Another choice I should have made
A siren's song from long before
A mesmerizing melody
A dark enchantress lingering
Beyond a gray and misty shore
I tried to hide away from you
I can't deny the bible truth
But I'm afraid that I'm only dreaming
I'm dreaming
I can't believe it's happening
I can't believe you're loving me
And when we say hello I'll be dreaming
I'm dreaming

Rika
06:07
|

Deep within my dream
A score of ruby spires
Reach in praise to the sky
A world devoid of thought
Encapsulates my being
Brings a tear to my eye
A soulmate for my heart
Lives in these pavilions
Cast out by the norm
A girl with hot pink hair
Bright blue eyes a-shining
Smile so loving, so warm
Is she real, or is she fantasy
So innocent and pure
She's swimming in a sea of dreams and fairy tales
Her name is Rika, she's a mutant, and I love her
I held her in my arms
She smelled of jade and rapture
Two minds together as one
We stood there in that field
Hearts and souls collective
Seemed to outshine the sun
Biologies in sync
We journeyed to the night's edge
Staring straight at each other
The dream has met its end
I'm lying here alone now
Until I dream of another
Is it me, or is she fading now
Don't leave me here alone
I need your lovely face to get me through the fog
Her name is Rika, she is all I've got, and I'm losing her
A fortnight now has passed
And still no sign of Rika
I am losing faith
With nothing left to give
I focus on the nice things
That she used to say
Mistress of the dark
You came and left me bleeding
I'll never be the same
It hurts too much to live
Mental self destruction
She is the one to blame

Tantrum

Faith spun into savagery
Caged animal relation
Why try to attribute this
To negative creation
Let's make a joke of the misery
Incapable of dreaming
Any time of day could bring the worst
Predictable behavior
Rage break through this barrier
The walls that once protected turn to sand
Truth, hatred and fallacy
A trinity revolving
Lambs slaughtered in apathy
We celebrate the silence
Just wake me up once the world forgets me
We can talk between the white noise in peace

Tattoo

In my hand grains of sand burrow under the exterior
Muscles seize, spread disease, further bury the inferior
Catatonic from the contact, naked in the floodlight
The panic is a heartbeat, the madness is a birthright
Bleed me
Crush me
Mark me
Carve me
Regress to me
Confess to me
Acknowledge me
Break the skin, let me in, voices carried on the withering
As the cold breath of life locks me down and makes me crawl
Complacent in the quicksand, an air of resignation
The angel in the underworld, the permanent vacation
Bleed me
Crush me
Mark me
Carve me
Regress to me
Confess to me
Acknowledge me
And leave me be

Shade

I want to see your face
I've come a long way
Would you show it to me
Keep me safe tonight
And in the starlight
Weave a memory
I wonder why you left me in this dark and lonely room
And I can't recall which door I came through
Every tear we cry
I believe the lie
It doesn't matter to me
All the words and whispers that eviscerate my soul
And the void you left has swallowed me whole
Maybe this will pass
And maybe you're the last
I've gotten used to it all
You can carry on, I've got the sun to watch me roam
And the shade of love will follow me home

Reunion
08:11
|
|||
I met a faithful friend
The only one I can rely upon
We shared a common soul
And made an oath of our complicity
Within a mesh of minds
Inside the good, the bad, perceiving me
Without a trace of guilt
We turned our back upon humanity
I am the great mistake
I am the god of all monstrosities
Don't put your faith in me
I am the source of all atrocities
The world begins to fold
I feel the ego walls collapse on me
It's all returned in me
The soul I claim to bear is lost to me

Rise Above
04:34
|
|||
You're the sound that tastes the sweetest
You're the touch that blinds my eyes
You're the sight that brings the silence
I have come to realize
You're the sense that I associate
with love
Though reflections may replace you
Only you repel the haze
You're the clarity I long for
When my sense of self decays
In the innocence of birth
We rise above
