Nighttime
The time of night!
When souls are bright.
There goes the sun in flight!
The dark blankets all and many affright!
When souls are bright.
There goes the sun in flight!
The dark blankets all and many affright!

Drowning the Mania
Of polystyrene dreams in tongue
Incestuous love matted in blood
obscenity's lusting caffeine
a tidal wave colonizing the soul
stripping flesh of its virginity
drowning the mania burning within

She Looked And Saw A Gun Aimed
Linda was getting herself ready.
She has been invited to Amanda's party.
Then, she heard a noise.
She Looked And saw a gun aimed.
Her dead corpse was found in Falmouth.

Joining A Glam Metal Band Is Not Good
Racquel joined Nemesis on tour.
Everything was going okay before the drugs.
She's found dead in Miami.

Please lord
Spare me of righteousness
Allow me NOT to save souls
Let me bathe in sin
I seek honesty
I worship trust
Yet I am a heathen
To be clear
Spare me of righteousness
Allow me NOT to save souls
Let me bathe in sin
I seek honesty
I worship trust
Yet I am a heathen
To be clear

Corridors
In corridors of the mind and whispers
phantom rain haunting my soul
in moss-covered stone echoing
as sails unfurl where the widow weeps
death's Odyssey never to abort
phantom rain haunting my soul
in moss-covered stone echoing
as sails unfurl where the widow weeps
death's Odyssey never to abort

Existential Crisis
What happens
With these piles of paper
Once I meet
The Grim Reaper?

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

Imprisoned
When sorrow fills the void
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore

Titanic
In the deep we peacefully sleep
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died

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
