Swallow
Close my eyes tight,
Hurt with this light,
Your devious mind comes shining through to me,
Shining clear to me.
Head for home as the daylight grows,
Crashing to the floor,
As a bitter sound rings clear,
Your tragic song I hear.
Happy thoughts and empty minds can justify my reasons.
No joy for me till the day I can hold my head up.
King in my head, hung in shame, swallow me.
King in my head, hung in shame, I'm the original
In For The Kill
Up he comes now for thrills
Man locks in for the kill
Breathing is fixed for the time
Image burns in and is sealed in my mind
Can I move from my call?
Cautious looks say it all
Cold control to impress
Fate takes control of my moves for the rest
One more blink of an eye
And I'm in for the Kill
My conscience kicks in
And crumbles in my hands all feelings weaken
And just in time to quench compassion
See I am breathing, seething, breathing, seething
Cooler things I have done
Let myself down again
Insecurity swells,
Jealous as anger expands in my head
Cold control moves aside.
Image burns and the view gets sealed inside
Cautious looks say it all straight to my eyes
Jealous looks make it all just move aside
Keep me safe
Take control
As I close
Or kill my mind
Confession
My friend called today
He said 'way too long'
Since I talked to you
What did I do wrong?
Truth is I'm afraid
Of all that he might say
And all the wrong I've done
Taking every day.
Let me down
Didn't care
I'm hung out to dry
My confession.
(And now you're here
I abandon fear
All I need is someone to hear
My confession)
I confess to the rest
My short failings
And long winded mauling of truth
And attempts to deceive you
How can I plead
And make you believe
That the penance received
Could cancel the deed
And cast all my sins away, Need some forgiveness
Tranquillizer
My Calm
My Drug
My Justice
My Saviour
My killer
My Mirror
Confessor
& Lover
Fill me up with drugs
Enough to see behind the lies.
Wash me out to clean my doubts
Away from off my mind.
Solid state pacifier
Beaming in tranquillise me
Super cool by direction
Keep in line, you're intention.
Smoother than straight oppression
Shaping minds by direction
TV's soon mother, teacher
Full control pushing nearer
Truths and lies
Desensitise me
Shaping minds
& educate me.
Solid state pacifier
Beaming in tranquillise me
Super cool by direction
Keep in line, you're intention.
Smoother than straight oppression
Shaping minds by direction
TV's soon mother, teacher
Full control pushing nearer
Salt Peter
Cut my teeth again,
On the milk of friends,
Kindness always seems,
To let me down,
Raise the stakes again,
Closer to the end,
But I couldn't wait
To dive in deeper.
I'm in the way of pleasure, soon,
I could have everything, I'm sure
Stone cold and bleeding,
I'm rubbing the salt in,
Salt Peter comes.
Swallowed in easy pieces,
Stone cold, but still keeps beating,
Baptised in blood that's flowing,
Black scented seeds that I have sown.
Salt Peter comes
Raise the stakes again,
Closer to the end,
Swallowed in easy pieces
Skindive
Blood distracts the pain
I'm back again
The sky is falling
Lying on my back
My drug attacks
And I am taken
I should know better than believe you
You may not know how to be true
Bleeding hides my grief
Decide to leave
My eyes wide open
Hand myself around your neck
The stain spreads out
.....and pain
When can I go again
Skindive, bleeding
Skindive, clean up my mind, my soul
My flesh and blood and face it all
Skindive
Standing still,
Around me run the source of my distractions
Blackened room
The pictures flashing silver in my head
Need to believe this is the best way
Smile as the thoughts just flow away
Shiver to the beat
I'd love to leave but in was taken
Disappoint me
Tell me this is great and I won't care
I won't care
Skindive, bleeding
Skindive, clean up my mind, my soul
My flesh and blood and face it all
Skindive
The sky is falling
And I am taken
Eyes wide open
Flesh is bleeding
The sky is falling
And I am taken
Eyes wide open
Flesh is bleeding
And I saw light
It moved real slow
Lovers arms
Let me go
And there stands Christ
Flesh and blood
Set me right and let me go
Let me go!
Zero Now
So with deception tucked away
And consciousness has all but gone now.
Billions for the masses
From the man who took us in.
Now the ice king's melting
But the world's still turning round on his strings
And he benefits still, from machines that we need to live
Zero Now
We're breaking down, so it's
Speaking through me,
And I connect you.
Just as fashion's wearing is thin,
Middle income pockets saved from leaking
To the 'beasts' in Brooklyn
Born of lambs on Capital hill.
Scared that they'll reach the speed of change
Zero zero's cruising,
And the world's still cashing in on the prospect,
As governments reject the thought that they held the control.
Zero Now
We're breaking down, so it's
Speaking through me,
As I connect you.
Zero Now
We're breaking down, so it's
Speaking through me,
And I connect you.
No more pain
For too few that gain
So they'll hold you down
But I'll connect you.
Deny you're nature
Leave what they gave you
Get back some anger
And I'll connect you
No More Pain,
Too few that gain
No More Good Guys
I died today,
but I'm still breathing,
bleeding,
for now,
I'm broken.
You left me here,
Capsized and sinking,
thinking, right now,
there's no more good guys.
You left me standing here,
alone and colder,
I hope that some day soon,
the pain inside will stop.
You died today,
but you're still breathing,
in my mind,
that is,
there's no more good guys.
You left me standing here,
alone and colder,
I hope that some day soon,
the pain inside will stop
I hoped you'd see me,
I hoped you'd understand,
Or crucify me for my failings,
my cruel ambition,
hardly justified,
and the pain inside will ... stop.
Sweetness
My precious little lover,
Pushing down on me,
My perfect little liar,
Trying hard to see,
How the pain is sweetest,
Pin me to the wall,
Current through the wire,
Bound to make me fall.
Turn the dial up higher.
Telephone rings on,
Flesh like it's on fire,
Missing out too long,
Join me honey quickly,
Some electric fun,
Turn it gently clockwise.
Sweetness I know,
I'm in control.
To hold your mind fixed dead on mine,
Out to move, I'm loosing time,
Cold control, so impressed,
You took my time with someone else.
My innocent assassin,
Wire through the rings,
Current flowing through me,
All the joy it brings,
My perfect little liar,
Trying hard to please,
My precious little lover,
My sweetness.
Sweetness I know,
My energy grows,
As strong as it goes,
I'm in control.
To hold your mind fixed dead on mine,
Out to move, I'm loosing time,
Cold control, so impressed,
You took my time with someone else.
Sweetness come to me.
That's how I showed you the way
Love Me Still
Dead cells and cold tea
One sound and zero sleep
I made my choices
But now you know how far I'll go
Can you love me still?
Can you hold it back a little while?
If you say I'm wrong
Then I'm wrong
It's up to you
I know, but love me
Love me
