Come on down
Let me tell you exactly what I have become
I need you to understand that nothing's worse
Than giving into dark desires
Yet hoping that something can save me from myself
So I may change
The parts of me that make me crawl in my skin
Cause I'm afraid I've lost the way
What can I say, I've made some mistakes.
I walk around like I don't care
And I make believe it's all alright
I'll pass on by full of life
But really I'm just dead inside
Walk on by me, walk on.
What can I say, I've made some mistakes.
Walk on by me, walk on.
What can I say, I've made some mistakes.
And I'll dance around with this drink in hand
Staying numb to the pain!
Cause after all this time
I still remain stagnant and alone in this place, in my state
Its better to feel nothing than feign interest for you
Can't you tell I've grown weary from the solitude?
And after all has been said and done
I've grown so disgusted with myself
Can you help me take it away?!
How long can I keep this act up?
The curtain call is approaching!
So let me cut right to the chase
The plot is coming to an end!
So let me go, I can't be saved!

My Darling,
Did you really think I could forget?
You thought I'd just let it go
But I want you to remember
I want to reiterate it all
So here's your final chapter
An epilogue if you will
Just quit pretending
You'll have your story book ending
This is my "fuck you"!
Fuck You!
You are the most
Loathsome creature
I have ever known
You disgust me
With your selfish ways
Nothing to give but always ready to take, take, take
Don't you realize I've been watching all this time
For your defenses to be compromised
So I can slip in there silent tonight
Inhale this chloroform and don't you fight
Now just relax
You'll be here for awhile
Don't dare talk back
I'll cut that tongue right out
Down to the crypts
Under the stairs
I have prepared your tomb
Wrapped in plastic
Glass for your eyes
You will be my own porcelain bride
And when you're laying on the slab
Will you open your heart for me then?
Its slowly coming together
A surgeon with the needle
A true artist with the blade
I'll keep your eyes in the jar
And I'll never go far
I'll love you always and forever
Deep in the crawlspace of my heart
And keep you cold as ice
To preserve you for all time
It never has to end
I can keep you alive
I can keep you alive!
Beneath the bleach!
My sweet valentine
My only love

Whores!
There are a few things in life to know
One is never trust a pretty face
She'll lure you in the with brightest of eyes
She'll make you feel like everything is alright.
But...
Meanwhile she is out making some guys night
And she won't think twice to fuck you over and over
Time and time again!
And you'll never learn
Because she has her claws so deep, so deep, so deep, so deep into you!
How do you feel hearing the truth about what you called love? Love...
If the world was about to fucking end
Would you be there holding my hand?
Laughing as we watched it burn
Till there was nothing left?
Cause I've searched the world just to find you
I've turned over every stone
Leveled every mountain searching for your face!
A thousand lifetimes have passed since I called you mine
And I watched you walk away
Without the slightest thought of me!
I've tried, oh how I tried
Just to return to moments I felt alive!
This is what you made me!
This is the hate you gave to me!
So wake the fuck up and open your eyes
Just shut the fuck up, I don't want to hear your lies
I disappear to a quiet place inside my mind!
Bitch!

There are just an infinite amount of variables in this equation
There is no control
And I guarantee my hypothesis is dead wrong
So it seems this theory is exactly that
A solution based on observations
You'll find it hard to breathe
When your cities turn to sand
At the bottom of the sea
The lines have begun to fade
The dimensions are overlapping
And the frequencies are getting harder to identify
Parallels stagger
I'm becoming more aware, a perceptual transformation
Constraining bonds releasing me from this hell
You'll find it hard to breathe
When your cities turn to sand
At the bottom of the sea
It's a program
A simulation of what it feels to be alive
You emulate
The basic functions needed to survive
So sell your soul for a roll of the dice
Another wager settled in blood.

I can hear it
I can taste it
The moment to reign!
This darkness washes over
Engage the sirens call
The end is coming and there's nowhere left for you to go You've released me
And the plagues that fell
Turned the key and unlocked the blackest gates of hell
The seventh trumpet has been called
So you can start the panic
Witness the new regime
Eyes turned down and worship me
Deconstruct the realms of time
Fabricate these walls of lies
Decimate your precious world
From my throne I'll watch it burn
Your sins have satisfied me
Yet, my bloodlust can't be quenched
I'm here to start the reaping and I'll feed on those born first They were told of my coming, yet ignored all the signs.
I've been waiting restless, completely redesigned!
You never stood a fucking chance!
A thousand legions battle tested
Thirsting for another conquest
I don't care what you thought you knew
I don't care about your faltered faith
I just came to destroy and enslave
To rot and decay everything
I don't care what you thought you knew
I don't care about your faltered faith
I just came to destroy and enslave
To rot and decay
...the entire fucking human race!

Almost midnight and these walls seem to speak
Is it ghosts or am I finally breaking down?
Can't you see I'm not breathing?
Can't you feel my heart not beating?
Can't you see I'm not breathing?
Can't you feel my heart not beating?
Shock this system and resuscitate me
Never mind the lack of bleeding
There's nothing to keep it pumping
I'm not even a human being
I'm just repeating old routines
Automatic, just a machine
Flip the switch and let me dream
This has become my only release
OH!
You don't know
What I think of when I'm all alone
You don't know
The reasons that I shake at night
You don't know
The desolation rising in me
You don't know
That this life scares the shit out of me!
I let it out
I let it out
I let it out
Just to drown them out
"So take the pills,
It'll be better tomorrow"
At least that's what they say
Keep believing that lie
I've become such a wretch!
And now the morning creeps on in
Another day that just wont forget me
