Prayer

We who are free from the shackles of your fake moralisation;
You feel that sin flows freely from our minds.
God... God is sinful.
God is sin.
Close your minds to allow
His power into your heart
to blacken it with supreme
gifts of hatred and division
that are rained down upon us.
If you could please delay my ascent to your fake cruel god.
You may believe that my nature is unnatural,
but I learned to love being your abomination.
Feast upon the poisoned fruit
of fake love while destroying our hope
with misconstrued dogma;
let it take seed inside you... to blight you.
Live the rest of your life in blindness.
It increases my desire to oppose you,
Just a rabid desire for heresy.
Say your prayers,
It's the only thing you have.
Say your prayers,
that will never change anything.

So sure, but off-kilter,
Like it wanted to be off balance.
Began to advance, before backing away from the lights.
It wants to feed...
Waited for the perfect moment,
it can't waste a moment like this.
I feel I know it by the way it moves,
But I know her by the way she struggles for air.
I feel I know you by the way you move,
But I know her.
All the scum that sticks to this place,
It knows won't make a good meal.
But needs must, it moves quickly.
Ensnares, and bites down.
It wants to feed...
Taste the flesh,
The blood drips.
Feels so good,
Tastes so sweet.
Just a few scattered remains are all that is left.
It leaves in search of its next victim.

Lines in the Sand

We are all fantastic - a walking fantasy,
Sex, candy and bunny-girl suits,
later we get birthday suits.
We just lie in situ - we love you like this.
Crossing all our lines in the sand - we love you like this.
Beyond help, beyond pain, beyond feeling, beyond sex, beyond saving, beyond criticism, beyond sleep, beyond waking, beyond dreaming, beyond fantasy, beyond hope, beyond beautiful.
We take in the beauty, and watch the spectacle,
Before we feast, ravenous for more... We are the dreams we create.
We all lie in situ - we love you like this
Crossing all our lines in the sand - we love you like this.
Beyond help, beyond pain, beyond feeling, beyond sex, beyond saving, beyond criticism, beyond sleep. beyond waking, beyond dreaming, beyond fantasy, beyond hope, beyond beautiful, beyond light, beyond dark, beyond love, beyond hate, beyond disgust, beyond purity. beyond love.

Relax 'cause now you're forced to lie upon here.
It's all I can sense, and it covers me.
It's binding me down but I don't want to escape.
I feel myself drifting away and my senses dull.
I go numb
(I want to feel you)
(I think I just went under... so deep) pain tolerance goes high.

Scening

I wondered if you could come.
We could all dress nicely, present a nice false front.
Greet with fake smiles and air kisses.
Flatter each other mercilessly, stroking each others egos,
While laughing at appropriate times.
But then it's not as if I would show you how I actually felt,
I would never make that kind of impression.
But you make fine company, I look good with you - it reflects well on me.
I wondered if you could come.
We'll take all your desires, stretch them and distort them,
Present them all in our own image.
Oh how I love it so much here, it's everything I hoped for.
We now have a wonderful new scene.
Maybe with my influence, I could make it spread.
With me at the centre how could we possibly fail?
Pushing my scene to new heights, push for glory.
You will all look up to me.
I am now the maypole you dance around,
Don't try to fool yourself.
However, the supporting cast is still an important role to play,
It reflects well on me.
The list of people to meet is endless,
Who really are my friends and who are there people?
Everybody here is so nice,
But someting feels like it is missing.

Never to Fear
13:02

Destroy it all to begin,
Destroy yourselves to become,
We exist no longer,
And they all carry on.
We are no longer blind.
Never to fear,
We can sit and watch,
As the chrysalis,
Breaks down and disappears.
Rebirth ourselves.
Restart the youth we never allowed ourselves.
Piece together memories we thought we never had.
Piece together memories we thought we never had.
We are no longer blind.
Never to fear,
We can sit and watch,
As the chrysalis,
Breaks down and disappears.
Uncover the ashes.
Reveal pieces of a life forgotten.
All the life we made ourselves forget.
All the life we made ourselves forget.
---------
Weaving through life's barriers,
Reaching through our experience.
Expecting the manor crossing to be filled with beauty.
Crossing over moonshine tropics bursting with light over dark shines purity.
Progress is an illusion,
We can only continue to become what was before.
Disgust works over our dystopian analogy.
Freak out with us.
We mourn for what rakes over time with over-reaching fury over what we missed in life.
Progress is an illusion,
We can only continue to become what was before.
---------
Huge oppressive crushing power fills us,
Tearing us apart, killing what was before.
When you were you, yourself.
I only wished it was me.
We killed me.
