Past, present, and future fear
A circumstantial fallen tear
I tried to love you; you were insincere
So I move on; move on away from here
But she put the gun away
She put the gun away
Yeah she put the gun away
She put the gun away
Just for today
Role reversal, forbidden touch
You played advantage and I was your crutch
Now your screams have all been hushed
It's a very mad world full of strange love
Just why the hell did you come back 'round?
Spiral staircase leads me down
You're my black widow without a gown
There's only one skull that can fit this crown

Vital existence
No more self-deceit
Vital existence
Won't turn the other cheek
Existence, Indulgence, Obstinance, Self-Deceit
Existence, Indulgence, Obstinance, Self-Deceit
Final redemption
Mercy for the weak
Final redemption
Last turn before you leave

You sent the gift without a postcard from paradise
And I could never see the picture behind your eyes
It's the unknown wave
It's the single blade
The moon will envelope the sun into a black hole
The cross I bear will never fail to rest my true soul
Totality; make me complete, you are my loan goal
I ask you, "are you the same?" that's one thing you only know

Night's Call

I've lost the plot again, my friend
As I was looking past your shoulder
What once what caught has reached its end
And your world has gotten colder
Blood in the water; washed away
It doesn't cost that much when lust's the only price to pay
Blood in the water; washed away
It might be night but tomorrow is another day
Your house was quaint, your house was fine
Transported to another time
One in which you were a child
I pictured you running wild
Beautiful, young, and naive
Your heart still fastened to your sleeve
But now as you lie next to me
I've no idea what to believe
I should have heeded all your advice
I should have answered; it's not like you didn't knock twice
Blood in the water; washed away
It starts to burn when a life's the single price you'll pay
Blood in the water; washed away
It might be night but tomorrow is another day

Vanishing behind a closing
Veiled darkness looms imposing
Numbers of a soul tattooed on your wrist
Plunging to below you cannot resist your own grave
So you obey
Saturated; leave in silence
You deserve some ultraviolence
Soon your walls and doorways begin to recede
Humble self-destruction is just what you need
But walk away unscathed
Your words will never ring true
They'll just divide you in two
Put to bed with all your dead authors
