- A Constant Reminder
We awoke in the midst of a vicious cycle,
Becoming the satellites whose transmissions are static served
As of late, it seems my audience has been lacking
I can only pray that you're tuning in during a moment of clarity,
Just to hear me utter these spiteful words before the signal fades
Here's hoping this becomes the soundtrack to your misery
The hook that rips right through your chest
- A Port In Any Storm
Fearful and numb, I now can accept,
Deceit and dependency are my preeminent assets.
Defined, (defined), a word etched in skin.
Sweet host, (sweet host), I'll feast within.
Oh, how one taste will haunt the senses and my dreams,
I fiend the touch of your flesh, A lust which brings us no end.
Dissolution quenched on fleeting hands, on fleeting hands.
- A Threnody For Modern Romance
Alas, here is your serenade my darling
That leaves you speechless and weak.
May it teach you how to feel,
May it remedy your heartlessness,
And may your cries not interrupt this swansong.
This is a call to arms
For all those who recognize romance as,
- Bridges Left Burning
Though your presence is nonexistent.
your vile stench still looms in my every memory.
you have planted a seed.
that has sprouted.
into an undying enmity.
that shall rear it's putrid face
and micturate upon the apologies that you have delivered far too late.
and the heavens collapsed to hell,
- Forever Scorned
Kiss the dream good-bye, separation leaves a taste so bitter sweet and for years you have clawed away at my flesh, yet I still long to hear your voice and set my eyes upon your face so I may bash it to pieces and laugh as the ravens pick away at the fragments, the shadows they still haunt me and your self-pity is sickening when you are to blame for the love lost, your self-pity is sickening, you're to blame, for all the love you've lost, and the contempt, that consumes your life, you're to blame, so now you may kiss this dream good-bye, for all my hopes and wishes are for this earth to be drenched in your blood as it pours from the sky, the clouds spraying like a lacerated artery, I will marvel at its sheer beauty, for years you have clawed away at my flesh, yet I still long to hear your voice, only now do I see, my hatred will never cease, and you will never claw away at my flesh. Never again.
- Freak Gasoline Fight Accident
all hail the unseen one he who dances in the shadows
bathing in the darkness exuding from the very bowels
of mankind, with such longanimity had he tolerated
this anomie, but now with unimagined malice he prays
for an end to the atrocity known as man
(chorus)
and when the world finally comes to an end,
- Marigold
Aesthetic perfection has fooled me once again.
You'll always be the only one who feels like home.
And with your hollow words and your plastic smile,
You have the most beautiful name I've ever cursed.
Yet I wait for you to find your way into my arms.
And I'd wait here till you find your way.
I would wait here all my life,
- Martyr Of Truth
I wanna breathe you in, senses realized
At first sight, this day imagined... waiting
Wanting for so long
Gaining this long lasting epiphany
A dream well within my grasp
Laid out for me to follow
But with every intention is fulfilled
- Miss October
o all that's safe, our memories
Our justified angst
So consumed with no escape
Just time to wait
Bury our distress to console
Isolated, we let out self denial
- Naenia
Ignite the funeral pyre,
And let's close the casket lid on everything.
On this institution and on every memory burn it all in effigy.
Let's watch it burn.
Fell into the depths of a broken heart again,
And I'll die alone,
- Reckless Abandon
Place these fingers over the holes in your flesh
But you'll never find the pieces that you lack
Searching nameless city streets and abandoned hearts
For your salvation nothing will save you here
Borrowed time, forgotten miles, faceless tragedy
This lost city's demise
- Sacre Coeur
From the gutter
The diamond seemed far too bright to see,
The gleaming eyes always tend to turn away,
Just turn away,
And every innocent wish, has granted tragedy,
And our hands have since been soiled in the blackest of coal
Most days I'd sit and wish for,
- Sacred Heart
From the gutter
The diamond seemed far too bright to see,
The gleaming eyes always tend to turn away,
Just turn away,
And every innocent wish, has granted tragedy,
And our hands have since been soiled in the blackest of coal
Most days I'd sit and wish for,
- Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads
The eve of my collapse I was feeling slightly murderous,
So I intercepted Cupid's arrow.
With passion and precision I severed the pig's head.
[chorus:]
It's the way she looks at me and
Possesses me to collect the head of anyone,
Collect the head of those who look her way.
- Sixth Of June
Been waiting for an end in a life filled with all those little stories.
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Our last encounter,
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Still stings like alcohol,
And all the stones and prison bars that stood in the way of my amends.
- The Bacchanal Affair
Tonight, we're drunk upon our nostalgia
So raise a glass to the black maria
Through laughter seems to soothe the pain of adoring what I violate
I'm sick to death by the irony and all the lies that we create
When we're feigning every red letter day
(chorus)
The chemicals aid in our neglect, feigning all of adoration
- The Radiance
This room is stark and this bed is unfamiliar
My only company tonight is this tattered photograph
Which simply serves as a reminder of everything that I have lost
The radiance of the stars in the sky seems meaningless
Without your pictures in my mind to reflect their images it's meaning less
until you open up your eyes and turn away
- The Requiem For Broken Hearts
enslave my heart, revealed is her apathey.
I'm bounded by a fear of loneliness,
show me fidelity now fill me with a false sense of hope,
this will be reminder of what we once were.
I'll leave your lips soaked with remnants of a love held together by deception.
and death is masked as my savior.
martyred in you heartless name.
the detriment was much too profound for you
- The Requiem OF Broken Hearts
Enslave my heart, revealed is her apathy,
you're bounded by a fear of loneliness,
show me fidelity now fill me with a false sense of hope,
this will be my last good-bye before I leave you with your regrets,
now seal this elegy with a somber kiss,
such a cordial reminder of what we once were,
I'll leave your lips soaked with the remnants
of a love held together by deception,
