lyrics

You have always held my attention longer than you meant to
But now, a concentration shattered and incomplete
The integral I spawn from a shrouded sky release

You're draining me
As these fluids mix
Pledging fealty
To a fucking crucifix

You want to recognize
Me in this disguise
Well we'll never take it off
Cause we're here to stay

And yet, with indignation, an absent intervention
In step, with rhythm, a delectable intention

Peeling it back now
Revel in revealing
A mantric slide
Into ethereal divides

Corrugated thinking
Spawns a preferential galaxy
Ameliorated function
Of a spider-eyed fallacy

Pulling back the curtains
A grandeur reserved
For a machination
Of a sepulchral past

Surrogated dreaming
A retraction of intent
Pretty little insignificance
You can rest assured
I'll never recompense

This city has lost its touch as I remember
when I last threw down my crutch to resurrect her
Time but blink of her eye to the skies
withering just like a widow born into demise
I wrote but never spoke; I feared the end was near
She choked as If her throat begged to adhere
Her lungs gave out - she tried to shout
but the air just wasn’t there in that rare amount
I fled through the thick and ragged wood
I swore I tried to cry but just never could
Your memory I kept close like a phosphorescent ghost
An erotic novice, ever cautious, what I wanted most
Why my mind veered toward the path
that bore the breaking of the pact
is a fact unknown, but audit prone
you’ll find me digging your new home
A ten foot fire in the mire of gasoline and barbed wire
filthy liar, why conspire?
You cannot unetch one’s desire
I was bred for you – As you were bred for me
I know it’s curt and might just hurt but don’t struggle lovely
You’ll find in time, the signs, the rhymes - the mystery all intertwined
within our blood, our sweat, our tears, our hardships, friendships, hopes and fears
I twist your head around as I fuck you from behind
so those whorish little beads finally see me eye to eye
They cursed me at inception by pardoning infection
so I’ll spew forth all my filth in hopes and dreams to be defective

Catatonic carcass in your cobweb
Feeding frenzy
A transient temptress
Saunter slowly
Crawl to me my baby
In an unsound slow dance
A swansong for our romance

The guilt becomes you
Chance chosen chemistry
Turning tricks like loose-knit lore unto your symmetry
Call my bluff you power thirsty whore
You'll bleed for me before you'll find yourself begging for more

Take off your face - you know it's gotta go
Take off your face - and leave us all alone
Take off your face - just be my mannequin
Take off your face - and shed that shaken skin

(Primal Gospel)
