The Sudden Discovery That I've Made
Saw this boat beached
on the shore. And inside
it, I found a blonde's corpse.

Villain
I'm only the villain in your story all because I know the truth you so desperately try to hide."

THE TRUTH
if looks could kill,
I'd be dead right
About now
I'd be dead right
About now

Putting On My Somersault
Putting on my somersault
pale gothic dementia
leapfrogging twilight
with scars of stigmata
death is forever
a one-trick pony
and then a naked ghost
walking halls of piety
pale gothic dementia
leapfrogging twilight
with scars of stigmata
death is forever
a one-trick pony
and then a naked ghost
walking halls of piety

Placebo affected
If I conversate, then I talk too much
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender

Stains That Rain
The stains that rain
a dark oblivion
howling crimson blood
of yesterday's sangria
riding the winds
with Poe's quill
combing the carpet
in death's cotillion
and carnal obituary
in twilight's ecstasy
a dark oblivion
howling crimson blood
of yesterday's sangria
riding the winds
with Poe's quill
combing the carpet
in death's cotillion
and carnal obituary
in twilight's ecstasy

Dark desire
The old man, devastated by cancer,
Went on his last pilgrimage
To Mount Kinabalu
Where he offered himself
To a rather tall but always very hungry
Nepenthes rajah.
Went on his last pilgrimage
To Mount Kinabalu
Where he offered himself
To a rather tall but always very hungry
Nepenthes rajah.
