behind dead eyes
novacaine echoes through my imperfect ears
screaming my name in the winter of another's soul
i hear a liquid voice crying words that I never knew
how much further do we really have to go?
in the lack of nightfall i see angels in red
dancing and twirling on the tongue of this flesh casket
all i ever asked for was a needle and some thread
but you hand me the crazy glue and smile
another morning, another war, another heartbreak at my door
why must I always let you in?
the air keeps getting thinner
i thought for sure I'd be the winner
but you suffocate me with your ugly face
perhaps it's all an accident
if it's coincidence I'm pissed
and I shall scream up to the heavens for their cruelty of my fate
another star burnt out
another oyster without a pearl
another breath i take of poison
where is that warm contentment?
sin again drips from my eyes
for you tell me it's my hands that are hurting
but even yet with teary eyes
i can see your demons lurking
just a moment of peace, i beg
in betweeen these cruel dispositions
just to dream sweet dreams again
yet there is malicious laughter in the distance
