Unravel
04:48
|
|||
This all concealing tapestry I've been hiding behind; my angel, my friend
That I've been weaving all my life; my shadow, my end
But now your ragged seams give in
The mirror's eyes touch my skin
The unraveling must begin
At last...
I cast my pain aside
Bare the fiber untouched
Remnant scraps of fear collide
And primal roots shine in the hush
My unquenchable necessity, to be seen as I am; without a stitch
Its lust smothers all my fire; paralyzing to the fringe
Stitched unto my skin
Swallowing all within
The unraveling must begin
At last...
I cast my pain aside
Bare the fiber untouched
Remnant scraps of fear collide
And primal roots burst through the crust
I feel the rain of a thousand eyes caress my virgin flesh
No more doubt, no more fear and no more pain;
Unburdened, I face the end
I'll say goodbye now, my friend
I cast my pain aside
Bare the fiber untouched
Remnant scraps of fear collide
And primal roots shine in the hush

Weeping Lead
05:03
|
|||
Vacant stare at leaves in stone
Shrieking silence of the raven bones
It's all I see and all I hear
All I breathe while time disappears
Draining my veins
Weeping lead to sculpt my fire
Grinding teeth on rusty nails
Sinking under the crushing air I exhale
For it's all I breathe while time disappears
Draining my veins
Bleeding dread to feed the mire
And drown in grace
Weeping lead to sculpt my fire
Draining my veins
Bleeding dread to feed the mire
And drown in grace
Weeping lead to sculpt my fire
And forge the hands of time
All I weep and all I bleed, the fire I breed
It’s merely to endure the time until I leave

The Heart’s Whisper
05:29
|
|||
I put your head on my chest
So you can hear my heart's whisper confess
I crave your love, the taste of your lips
Your trembling sigh under my fingertips
Oh why do you scorn the words I give you?
Don't you see they were made just for you?
Please listen to the unspoken words
The whispering heart in my eyes
I've listened to your breath and the sigh of your heart
Just this one single morning, serenity unmarred
Oh why do I scorn the words you give me?
Cause I know they were meant just for me
I should listen to the unspoken words
The whispering heart in your eyes
As it bursts out of my ribs into your soft and selfless hands
Wring out the red flowing truth and swallow me down
Now this is what you really mean to me
Oh why do you scorn the words I give you?
Don't you see they were made just for you?
We should listen to the unspoken words
The screaming heart in your eyes

Motherly Flame
05:33
|
|||
Dear motherly flame, please take me in
And love me like you scorch me
And kiss my blistered skin
Oh cruel motherly flame
I am blindly drifting through the starless heavens
Pull me down, make me drown
Let me drink your soothing fire
Divine motherly flame, engulf me in your wings
And hurt me as you hold me
And bear my smothering dream
I am blindly drifting through the starless heavens
Pull me down, make me drown
Let me drink your soothing fire
Take me in, let me sink
Hush the blackness as I wither in your arms
Pull me down, make me drown
Let me drink your soothing fire
Take me in, let me sink
Hush the blackness as I wither in your cruel and gentle arms

Passing By
04:41
|
|||
With a burst of colors ablaze, you came into my life
Our first touch; we would never outshine
I put a spell on you with this sirenic melody
You were mine, but I was never truly yours
Lying skin to skin in a timeless dream, that seemed so real
But true love; I would never really feel
You allowed my spines to pierce your breasts and sting your heart
You were mine, but I was never truly yours
Oh I want you to know that I tried to sway my love
But my heart aches just for pain
You were mine, but I was never truly yours
Oh I want you to know that I tried to sway my love
But you were only passing by
Never quite enough for my heart that beats just for pain
Now you lie here in my arms, my spines sinking in
The colors draining from your chest and seeping down my skin
Your bloodless shell corrodes under the sand I cry
Why did you have to get this close? You should have just passed by

Face Them
05:27
|
|||
Swarms of smothering voices
Circling in the mirror's haze
Shame, guilt, hate, dread, scorn
Crawling down your tortured gaze
So dance in sorrow, little doll
For you are nothing, nothing at all
No, burn the strings of limb and soul
Face them smiling
See them wither in the light
Face them crying
Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life
Surrender turned to worship
Praying to your shadow Gods
Chained, beat, scarred, shamed, crushed
When all you're begging for is love
No, burn the strings of limb and soul
Face them smiling
See them wither in the light
Face them crying
Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life
So dance in sorrow, little doll
For you are nothing, nothing at all
No, burn the strings of limb and soul
Face them smiling
See them wither in the light
Face them crying
Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life
Face them smiling
See them wither in the light
Face them crying
Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life

Your Night, My Dawn
06:58
|
|||
I slit the light
And split the air
I chase a glimpse
That soothing stare
Your night, my dawn
I tame the sand
And crave for fire
I hunt the scent
Oh sweet desire
Your night, my dawn
Surrender your warmth

You Take
05:23
|
|||
Warming up your cold, small hands on that October night
Gazing at a shattered moon dance on ink in white
Is this really happening? Or did I paint you in my dreams?
I quietly kiss you on your head; I beg you, please be real!
I pretend that I'm the only one, I condemn the siren you become
Yet I succumb
Taken by the tears and wonder glistening in your eyes
I know you're just a girl who's lost, helpless in lies
Preying on my quenchless thirst, you tell me that you care
You whisper those 3 haunted words, that cage me in despair
I'll pretend that I'm the only one, I condemn the siren you become
I'll pretend our love has just begun, I resent the Goddess you've become
Yet I succumb
You tame, you take
Do you give him that look? That intrusive stare and intoxicating smile of yours?
Do you get on your toes and reach up, when you seduce him to kiss you?
Do you tame him like you tame me? And take what you crave, what you lust for?
Is this his wet that I taste on your lips? And that you have me swallow?
No!!! Please let me be... You tempt and you tame
You pull and you take... You whore! My love...

With Hands Torn Open
05:59
|
|||
I open my eyes into this lingering dream
I've bled here before, oh so many times
Deadened by our mortal restraints
Overgrown, I'd die to feel you shine
Holding on with hands torn open
Cause I know the hurt will write our song
Lost in the sleep, where both our roads entwine
Eyes at the ground to shun these puzzling signs
A mere servant of the deafening whispers
Sunk beneath, I meld into the vines
Holding on with hands torn open
Cause I know the hurt will write our song
Overgrown, I'll be waiting
Right here, to smile and sing along
Holding on with hands torn open
Overgrown, I'll be waiting here unbroken
