I love your plastic halo (lyrics)
verse]
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying
but I keep coming back for more
[Bridge]
Build me up
just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is
a house of cards
and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)
[Chorus]
I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict
stick around so I can take ...
You know I'm a sucker for pain
you make it feel so heavenly
got me wrapped around your plastic halo
love drunk on
everything you say
even when I know you're lying
but I keep coming back for more
[Bridge]
Build me up
just to knock me down
break me just to take me
all my resolve is
a house of cards
and you're the dealer
you're the dealer
(of everything I need)
[Chorus]
I'm just a pretty little addict
another silly little addict
stick around so I can take ...

Lonely Morbid Love
The two of us came
From the loneliest place
Deep shadows within the city
Brought to light by your face
Those eyes and lips, equal starlight
Who knew how this could be found?
Still haunted by your presence
Though you are six feet underground
From the loneliest place
Deep shadows within the city
Brought to light by your face
Those eyes and lips, equal starlight
Who knew how this could be found?
Still haunted by your presence
Though you are six feet underground

Art Piece
A warm smile, a lingering look,
and us under the rain,
were all it took for me to fall again.
Landing softly in the palm of your hand,
to be kept or to be broken,
fully surrendered to whichever you choose.
I’ll pick up my pieces, so it’s okay to ruin me
if it means getting a snippet
of what it feels like to have you.
You are a celestial event,
a rare sight to catch,
and I am but a skywatcher
waiting for your fleeting yet serene glimmer.
You are the perfect, flawless art piece, ...
and us under the rain,
were all it took for me to fall again.
Landing softly in the palm of your hand,
to be kept or to be broken,
fully surrendered to whichever you choose.
I’ll pick up my pieces, so it’s okay to ruin me
if it means getting a snippet
of what it feels like to have you.
You are a celestial event,
a rare sight to catch,
and I am but a skywatcher
waiting for your fleeting yet serene glimmer.

A Conundrum
Illusions
Visions dreamed and enveloped in fantasies
Parodies and tragedies played on stage
From page to page you keep on writing
Reading and feeding
Thriving on the idea
This will come alive
But
You’re disengaged
This is not reality
This is a game you shouldn’t play any more
You made her up
And sold your soul to her
You created her
And harm yourself so she’ll notice it
You hurt yourself to prove
You’re worthy of her…
And for what?
This delusion of yours
It’s odd
It’s...

He Is Poison
You are the king of poisons my arsenic.
Giving you one night would be
like ingesting cyanide death to the
soul in minutes.
Careful young women, some
men come to steal your hearts
and blacken your soul, nothing more.
They'll drain your beauty and watch
you convulse their Strychnine,
enjoying your dying misery.
Be warned and careful who you
bring to bed. He will give you
spiritual death, draining your
vitality and leaving you hollow.
Before you take his hand...

Play it again sam.
She strode in, lighting the room.
Noticing her immediately.
A jolt went thought me.
I froze as she waved at me.
Or perhaps to the guy sitting next to me.
I waved back in silence.
Avoiding eye contact.
As I'd been advised to do.
Definitely not speak to her in any way.
Told this would upset her so.
Avoidance & silence the strategic way.
Downward gaze as i passed her to the bar.
In the toilet had a breakdown.
Strong sense of mutual...

Ain't no Genesis in this song (with Adagio)
You love me like a game of chess
it's all strategy and flirting
only you don't care who wins
as long as you nail the queen
and you already nailed the queen
bittersweet and very keen
without a shadow to define
a place in Genesis
beneath the tree of life
Birth me whole in Eden
take your ribs
and mistake them other hard things
that need just as much attention
you called me a queen
stripped the leaves from my skin
then blamed me for the way
the apple brought you to your knees
In nakedness I am man ...

I guess I’m doomed for unrequited love
You might be not who I imagined
I’m aware, yet can’t help
Staring at you stealthily, while you pass through me with your friends
Oh god, you don’t even notice me
You care less to see
How fast I’m falling in love with you
Yeah, I know. I’m too naive
You’re probably a piece of shit,
But the thought of you fills me with zeal
If I’m as good as they say
Then why am I not the one for you?
I guess I’m doomed for unrequited love
I’m aware, yet can’t help
Staring at you stealthily, while you pass through me with your friends
Oh god, you don’t even notice me
You care less to see
How fast I’m falling in love with you
Yeah, I know. I’m too naive
You’re probably a piece of shit,
But the thought of you fills me with zeal
If I’m as good as they say
Then why am I not the one for you?
I guess I’m doomed for unrequited love

ink me, lover
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
make me the liar
I claim not be
You're the hitch in my heartbeat
the words I can't speak
have I ever told you I...
have I ever...
have I...
No
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
claim these veins as your own
because they've always belonged
a little bit to you
The truth is
I hate you, lover
I love you, friend
I need you, divine fucking goddess
Don't be another stranger
lost in the box of polaroids
you're inked too...
your name on my skin
make me the liar
I claim not be
You're the hitch in my heartbeat
the words I can't speak
have I ever told you I...
have I ever...
have I...
No
Come tattoo
your name on my skin
claim these veins as your own
because they've always belonged
a little bit to you
The truth is
I hate you, lover
I love you, friend
I need you, divine fucking goddess
Don't be another stranger
lost in the box of polaroids
you're inked too...

Absinthe desires (with Adagio)
Absinthe fragrance of green and pale
delicacy in despair of dreams so rare
bitter-sweet the myrrh in the air
rising to a star of distant glare
green as the venom's dare
You are a beacon of bleeding light
my knees collapse, worship the fall
I sink into the dirt, honor the call
sweetest agony encompasses you
I bleed with desire until my atoms unglued
delicacy in despair of dreams so rare
bitter-sweet the myrrh in the air
rising to a star of distant glare
green as the venom's dare
You are a beacon of bleeding light
my knees collapse, worship the fall
I sink into the dirt, honor the call
sweetest agony encompasses you
I bleed with desire until my atoms unglued

This Feeling
I think of you often
Fondly, softly
Quietly in my prison of a mind
During my days and my nights
As I sit typing these small mementos
I’m reminded of how close we became
Your laughter, your beauty
The never ending conversations
This feeling of emptiness, loneliness
This somber sadness grips my soul
Clutching with intent to crush what’s left
Mangled and mashed into dust
Tears well up ready to burst forth
A briny, saline waterfall crashing into the depths of my heart
Inducing an anxious panic overriding all...
Fondly, softly
Quietly in my prison of a mind
During my days and my nights
As I sit typing these small mementos
I’m reminded of how close we became
Your laughter, your beauty
The never ending conversations
This feeling of emptiness, loneliness
This somber sadness grips my soul
Clutching with intent to crush what’s left
Mangled and mashed into dust
Tears well up ready to burst forth
A briny, saline waterfall crashing into the depths of my heart
Inducing an anxious panic overriding all...

mercy.
swore to myself
I won't fall for your pleadings
will ignore you when you cry for help
leave you there all alone
just how you did to me
but one glance at you
and my heart yearns to help you
even if it means
breaking myself again allover
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces of me
so here i am again
going in circles
you hurt me
I fix you
My brain begs for mercy
my heart wishes for your well being
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces...
I won't fall for your pleadings
will ignore you when you cry for help
leave you there all alone
just how you did to me
but one glance at you
and my heart yearns to help you
even if it means
breaking myself again allover
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces of me
so here i am again
going in circles
you hurt me
I fix you
My brain begs for mercy
my heart wishes for your well being
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces...
