Pretend with Me _ with "Adagio"
You could be the clown
And paint a smile on your face
Wide enough to reach your eyes
The same eyes that caress me
Haunting my flesh with their gaze
Coiling tentacles around my bones
Encircling me with needle and thread
And paint a smile on your face
Wide enough to reach your eyes
The same eyes that caress me
Haunting my flesh with their gaze
Coiling tentacles around my bones
Encircling me with needle and thread

i want what you can give me
i want what you can give me
or at least i think i do
your messages, your face in my mind
they haunt me all damn night
i want you to give me that attention
to be soft and sweet and - oh, not again neglection!
i‘ll let you walk all over my boundaries
end up being used and never getting to have anniversaries.
i hate the power you have over me
and my power over you, the one i physically feel
can’t you just be nice to me, supportive even?
can‘t you show me affection, love i really believe in?
all you do is use me,...
or at least i think i do
your messages, your face in my mind

end up being used and never getting to have anniversaries.

Distate for you my love
Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and snowcaps
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and snowcaps
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend

You'll Turn Out The Same
Your parents have a problem and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you begin to even start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you begin to even start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Dance for me!
The Architect is here, so dance, don't delay.
In this World where shadows sway, a colorful display.
A sight so grand, so ambitious, with laughter I can't contain.
Crazy, colorful, and grotesquely divine.
No schemes, no warranty in this design.
Don't you slip now—
oh, isn't that my face, why is it so shattered now?
Am I also a fake, dancing on the stage I have made?
But isn't this craft so fine?
Chaos and cheers, singers and peers.
All dancing to the beat of my screams.
Everyone is so sick, carrying weapons of many...
In this World where shadows sway, a colorful display.

She was tricked
You and me
Let's do it!
The rooftop tonight
Life hasn't been so good to us
She agreed
We arrived at the top of our apartment complex
10 stories down is the sidewalk
I looked at her she looked at me
I turned away
She threw herself away
Let's do it!
The rooftop tonight
Life hasn't been so good to us
She agreed
We arrived at the top of our apartment complex
10 stories down is the sidewalk
I looked at her she looked at me
I turned away
She threw herself away

Mentally Teasing
She touched him
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck

Masquerade
Behind the glowing screen before your face,
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.
You rather portray another,
Than live honestly,
You think you’re so clever.
I pity that you pretend to be what you’re not,
Gallivanting around like a knight,
Yet you’re a mere peasant,
You are not intelligent or bright.
I dare you to reveal yourself,
Instead of this lie you’ve built,
You are a coward,
So this dare will not be filled.
Wasting the time of innocent people,
You continue to be unbothered,
Sad and pathetic,
You do not deserve honor.

Overpersuasion
Your parents have a problem and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Little Guy On My Shoulder
Little Guy on my shoulder
You’re good at skewing my perspective
Your insecurities transfer to me
So emotionally, I’m insane.
A sliver of glee cannot last
You always get in the way
To remind me of my forbidden lover
With you I must stay.
Never have you been physical
But in your presence I’m terrified
To hear the crude words you speak
Proves a level of toxicity.
I can’t help but ponder
“How do you speak to kin?”
“Do you call them a bitch, too?”
No, I bet you don’t even yell at them.
I know...
