Listen to the creature with October in his eyes/ As I illustrate the features just to mold them into life/ I’ll hold it with my hands and I’ll sculpt it into ice/ Just so I can set her free and let her soar into the sky/ Follow me into the grim odyssey the villain’s in/ Haunting like a diligent zombie ’til it kills again/ All I see’s a colony of oddities and ill intent/ Feeling bent, swallowing the qualities of innocence/ In a sense, there’s a sickness in my chest/ If you think that life’s a bitch you should give her some respect/ Maybe she’s a genophobe, a victim of neglect/ And the impotence you have is just a symptom of the stress/ (yes) All I know is that there is no certainty in life I hold/ Weather in Seattle matches perfectly inside my skull Everything is dark, everything is grey and cold/ Laying out the canvas just so I can let the paint unfold/
Phantom in the rainfall, phantasmagoric/ Plastered in the same spot but can’t manage solace/ Standing in the graveyard with hands clamped in foregrip/ Chant until the days gone, a fantastic courtship/ (YOU) Look into my eyes and try to find a breath of life/ (SEE) All the mysteries and secrets that I kept disguised/ (THROUGH) All the perfect insecurities I meant to hide/ (ME) Ain’t no way because I always feel so dead inside/ Now I spell “dedicate” with another letter, “a”/ Walk into the center stage, caught up into heaven’s gate/ Every single step I take reminds me of the death I taste/ Unfulfilled promises or ones I didn’t get to make/ Unless they break, but I’m modest with the greeting/ Overexistential and my confidence is sinking/ Swallowed all my pride, my esophagus is bleeding/ Ominous and seething, watching but I’m nauseous from the feeding/ This what you get when you’ve been greeted with an echo/ Just another operatic sequence in falsetto/ Just another very tragic piece of a libretto/ Just another charismatic demon in the meadow/ Sneaky with the silver tongue, now I’ve lost my thrill for blood/ Falling to my knees as the shadows start to close in/ Take my last breath, grab my own lifeless hand/ Let the silence in and I finally…fall asleep/ (asleep) (asleep) (asleep) (asleep)
