I spend my days collecting pieces of you If I can fashion myself in your image Perhaps I'll influence you to follow in my step The less I attempt to control you, the less I know myself Giving my life away to further another's cause Are you sympathetic to such a purpose? Love is no salve but rather brings destruction I now trade you in for the me I once was In every mirror I see your face My own malformed The skull of an angel held in my hands To which I question meanings of my identity She fell from the heavens to stop the earth Blood turned to vinegar; I choked on my words Vultures rejoiced and devils died I watched the only g

Give it a shot, try it on and see if it fits You sink into me until it never heals I swear I'm in forever Scars and prayers of yours Oh how dramatic you've become Oceans open within my skull I feel them flowing onward Into your past lives and my future I see people dancing for me Smiling people thinking I should join But I only focus on the one that vanishes And here I'm left standing Screaming at your ever-distancing car Come back come back But in reality I couldn't wish you were farther away

It is living inside of me like any virus Stop me if you've heard this all before I'm pretty sure you have but you'd like to be lured back in So smile and flirt "Wouldn't you like to stay the night?" "Why of course not my love, can't you see the skies letting loose?" Suspended like a tight-rope walker over the ocean Blowing kisses to the drowning mass Sainted by your self-sacrificial ways Let me greet you with open arms A knife held in each hand Perhaps then you'd get the point Perhaps you'd understand Stab. Choke. Lie. Choke I'd love to watch you die Choke Oh how I tire of circles Every now and then I'd prefer to repeat life

It couldn't possibly be enough Never for you I've been ready to give up Just waiting for life to become permanent Once immortalized this urgency would disappear And I could simply focus my life on living Am I so invisible now that my loved ones no longer acknowledge? You drove me to this Yet the fault is my own A thousand years inside the moon Perhaps I did not belong here Home? Surely not I remember you were so dead So ready to be revived I'd have given had I the ability But what little's left I now use to regain myself Prison shatters Screams of reptiles echo Life's so bright now I've gone blind I can never repeat this, n

From up here we can feel the breath of the ancients It fills us up with something new, something frightening Enslaved as we are Machines usher us on Wearing this disguise of humanity Powerless outside ourselves Drained of life, first time becomes the last Steal the essence of one's being and leave a husk To be discarded from your assembly lines Like you would any other misshapen product Or outdated must-have We must cherish what can be found Empower the desolate Perhaps we're done with usurpers Who wins? Who wins? I win! I swear I shall go forward The masks I wear cast aside... Be it alone, earth or sky I shall go forward Se

Life was never meant to be like this The purest things in me have become my curse This body now Becomes machine Carry me through the days Nothing more Cut her up like a two-dollar whore YOU DESERVE THIS You have earned this Let flames fall upon those who betray You don't look so sexy when your skin turns blue Are you sleeping, love? I hope you're not breathing Hush little baby don't say a word

I. Inside. Man of the emptiness How many times we've come here before I killed you and brought you back Unable to stand the lonesome feeling You're not the same I can't recreate You taste like yesterday Things sound so familiar Something's new and I can tell it's within you Skull opens out fly the flags of truce The dead man surrenders just like any other would What you took from me You dangle in front of my face Hold it out before me So I beg you for it back please It's almost close enough to taste And I feel my insides break Slit throat Just like you cut off the only thing I'd ever loved Threw it down to the

Open the floodgates I've fallen in love with my self-defeatist ways Pick you up from the mud and carry you on my back I never chose to let things fade into the dark So I shall undo the damage which I had once said was irreparable I live to serve and serve you I will I live to die and die for you I will Release this purest of feelings I embrace you on the blackest day And let you run free in the meadows of my light When my eyes fail I can still hear your breath When bodies fail I shall join you in death Nothing left for me other than to stand above this world Survey it beneath me and claim it for my own Dedicate my effo

With these two trembling hands I destroyed the only beautiful thing I created Crawling through the fog I made my way to sanctuary Covered in blood of aborted memories I am killing myself to keep those that I love alive I wish I could forgive myself For the person I've become But I'm ashamed of the life that I've been living It's nothing to be imposed upon others Go before my life claims you too All I have in life are my words My words have destroyed me
