Broken
Within my flesh
My soul is torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow
My soul is torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow

Breathe
A suffocating air
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.

Classic Felony
Whoring my lobotomy
full frontal cranium
with classic felony
"Tying me kangaroo down"
bleeding pork belly
hemorrhaging
twilight's Muscatel
sipping the tea goiter
from the gallbladder
in the larder
"Tying me kangaroo down"

Enchant Me
Show me how your world mirrors mine
Make everything okay
Then leave
Make everything okay
Then leave

I won't rest
In life I was silenced
never free by those individuals who didn't respect me
In death
I won't rest
Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free
never free by those individuals who didn't respect me
In death
I won't rest
Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free

I Looked In The Trees
I looked in the trees.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.

He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!!

A Possible Ghostly Tease
John saw Denise standing naked.
"No! You're dead!" was what he said.
When he approached, she disappeared.
"No! You're dead!" was what he said.
When he approached, she disappeared.

Jeju
I saw the plane
Crash;
I screamed,
Mutedly:
‘God,
Why?’

Urban Stalagmites
The ominous scent of cavernous notes
like urban stalagmites dripping red
in shattered neon and polyester
The shadow leaving its soul dead
waiting for the herringbone
defining the moment instead
like urban stalagmites dripping red
in shattered neon and polyester
The shadow leaving its soul dead
waiting for the herringbone

Like A Scene From An Eli Roth Movie
We found poor
Natalie stripped,
hanging and
dripping blood
into a candle
that's beneath her.
