Fragile

We watched it pass
Our fleeting memory
Of times gone by
And those we've lost
We step forward
Into our bleak fate
Grasping weakly
The threads of time that we've

We were one
In our desperation
Our sins grew as roses
And our wings became covered in blood

That which is fragile
Cannot survive the fall
Into the depths of hell
That which is eternal
Cannot survive the fall
Into the depths of mind

Our wounds remain open
And the rose king invites himself in
To our tomb of eternity
We fall screaming through our nightmare

We watched it pass
Our fleeting memory
Of times gone by
And those we've lost
We step forward
Into our bleak fate
Grasping weakly
The threads of time that weave, lost

In a Moment of Weakness

My lips have touched the poison
That you drank in the dead of night
My ears have felt the silence
That you left here in the world
My eyes have seen the decay
That left your skin relenting

In a moment of weakness
You showed me who you are

My lungs have filled with the air
That carried your soul to hell
My hands have felt the blood
Falling from those you killed
My tongue has taste your regret
That colours your broken wings

In a moment of weakness
I reached for you again

The Milk of Human Kindness

When we cry, we reach for the stars we're missing
I'm the only one who can feel this rejection
Your chemical kiss left me immobile in a hospital bed
While you stole the milk of human kindness

I started as a rumour that you spread in quarantine
To prisoners of every day life in a bleak world after
Time stopped at your touch where your blood spilled
Onto thirteen stones entombed in your fear

This liquid sarabande is all we have left
After a single star fell into my hands
And obliterated the world around us

This star that fell, it is my desire for happiness
A feeling that came at the cost of everyone around me
It crushes me, but I can't go back to that isolation

I would surely die here with your heavenly host
In a mirage created as your last dolls fall
Into the pool of blood spilling from your fear
Creating six severed souls cursed to carry us home

When they cry, we reach for love despite our full hate
The world feels your rejection and rends itself apart
Your steel embrace left me immobile six feet under
While you violated the milk of human kindness

Draught King

I see myself in the bottom of a bottle
Thinking thoughts not my own
My absinthe serenade has just begun
Moonlight blinds my third eye

My memories hold me captive
In a two-faced embrace
To drown me in rosewater
Covers me in scars
From a self-destructive romance

The draught king takes my hand
Offering me my last dance
He leads my inebriate self
Through a maze of black orchids

Will you take the pain away
And put it in a secret painting
To immortalise me
I can't live like this any longer
My heart tears itself to shreds

I see myself in the bottom
Of a thousand bottles
Thinking thoughts not my own
My brain will not die
My absinthe serenade will never end
In unrequited self-hate
Written in blood on a white rose
The draught king blinds my third eye

Pontificating on the Uncaring Nature of Our Mistress Time

I make time pass
It me and writhing I
I'm taken by my word

I make sorrow pass
Hit me and writing fly
Time flows in multiple spaces

Join me in this world of fate
As we fall through bliss to void
Inseparable in our fear
Indispensable is our fear

I'm late rhyme cuirass
Knight me and fortify
I'm taken by our nerve

I'm late climb crevace
Rite me and stab my eye
Time stops, just a laugh

Leave me in my daydream
As I burn to forsaken ash
Consecrated in my fear
Desecrated is my fear

Do you know what I need
And when will I have it back
It will be the end of everything

Unforgiving

Walk with me through the night's fog
Under the eye of an unforgiving moon
Through this den of dire daemons
'Til Dis do up part

We are drowning in our bleak fear
My only wish a moment of reprieve

We're abandoned by our dead gods
Lost to Dis for ever more
If you would ask it, I'd die for you
We've nowhere to run any more

The floodgates have opened
And the hunters are coming through
Searching for we their prey
To spill our blood upon the altar

We are crawling through our fear
How much farther can we go

Hellhounds on our trail day by day
Damned souls on our trail night after night
The moon glares leering down at us
Are our vows breaking, horror soars

We're abandoned by our dead hope
Lost to Dis for ever more
As you have wished, I died for you
I've no blood to bleed any more

Eternity is pain, break me here
My only wish is for the end

Gone Home

From death, I stare
Clawing my way home
Across stardust rings
Can't breathe, can't be
Release me from your hell

Heavenly host tear my flesh
As I turn my back on your light
My head explodes as I lose you
Beast-void take me home

Putrid souls embrace me
In pain eternal I'll burn
Terror is all I am to you now
Hate me as I kill you, too
Join me in my hell

Devil left nothing for us here
May it be heaven, may it be hell
Cry into this decrepit vault
May you be love, may you be hate
