The verdict is clear in their eyes! Guilty! No patience for defective minds! Filthy! Consume that which renders us blind! You pigs! The only answer I can find... Set fires! It’s a beautiful sight All the stars are alight And the mouth of the night Gaping wide I’ve been dreaming of another world, one that I can stand When I wake I can feel the sand sifting through my hands We only get so much time to create our self-destruction It’s a beautiful sight All the stars are aligned And if we’re still alive It’s by design We need this just to feel alive To feel like we’re not wasting our lives Maybe we’re meant for something else Maybe we’re meant for something It’s an ominous sign All the stars are aligned This may be our last chance We need this just to feel alive To feel like we’re not wasting our lives Maybe we’re meant for something else Maybe we’re meant for something

Like a flame I am reborn! I’ve come and gone so many times I’ve lost count of my lives Still I can see, on the blade of the sky The albatross he rides To take me back to the other side Don’t you dare feel sorry for me I live between two worlds and I’ve seen things that you will never see And every time I die I return to myself in time And reignite I feel no pain in this light Staring in with wide eyes This world imprisons me But my ashes set me free And I burn the sky I’ve come and gone so many times I’ve lost count of my lives Still I can see, on the edge of my mind The albatross he flies I can feel his shadow closing in Soon it will begin again But every cloud I leave behind Dissolves another shadow in my mind We don’t know how far we can fall Til we’ve flown as high as we can It’s no use to hide We must face our irrational fears and our desperate years And stand unflinching before the light We were born to fly But darling the winds will not take us unless we escape This elaborately-constructed lie I will fall and start all over...

A thousand eyes, each one a window to nothing All my life spent chasing a wisp of smoke in the air A myth of my own creation A key to my gilded cage There’s so much that I don’t understand About you, about me, about all that I see In my madness I run to the flames And my path slowly vanishes under my feet When something defies logical explanation Then which of my senses am I to believe? We rebuilt your castle At the cost of our lives Were we meant to survive? Were we ever alive? We may never know So I say.... Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry Won’t you haunt this room with me I’m prepared to follow you to your tomb Lie beside you until they find you Cast you down, burn your throne Making your blood their own Oh yes, I know what I am to you An easy sacrifice to the circling vultures This demon lives inside us all, in our flaws But I never meant to let you fall into its jaws As they chew you up and eat you raw Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry Won’t you haunt this room with me

The blood is pooling underneath my bed The lies are boring deep into my head I rebuild myself by leaving you for dead My seas run red Will you forget? We are turning black and rotting on the vine All I want is to exchange the mundane for the divine Light is fading, this fog of doubt distorts my sight. Crawling through an ever-thickening stream of self-infliction Drowning slowly If I gasp for air my lungs will fill with black smoke rising From your funeral pyre We choke on good intentions My every word is poison Seeping into your soul Gnawing at you like a promise broken If I was to die By your hand tonight, What a waste of your time... All I taste is dust Slithering through this waking nightmare Still I’m searching for you, kindred spirit When I find you, I will live forever But I’m running in circles and I can’t find a way to face you Maybe one day I’ll finally grow into something almost human Now I’ve dug so deep that I can’t see the sun!
