Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)
Love your hate, your faith lost, you are now one of us! [x3]
Nothing, From nowhere, I am no one at all
Radiate, Recognize, One silent call
As we all form one dark flame
Incinerate.
Nothing, From nowhere, I am no one at all
Radiate, Recognize, One silent call
As we all form one dark flame
As we all form one dark flame
As we all...
Love your hate, your faith lost, you are now one of us! [x3]
The Leaving Song Pt. 2
Don't waste your touch,
you wont feel anything,
or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much,
you wont find anything,
worthy of redeeming
Yo he estado aqu
To...BREAK DOWN
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW
what once was breathing
REACH OUT
and you may take my heart away
imperfect cry ,
and scream in ecstacy,
so what befalls the flawless
look what I've built,
it shines so beautifully,
now watch as it destroys me,
Y regreso aqu
To...BREAK DOWN
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW
what once was breathing
REACH OUT
and you may take my heart away
[x2]
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye[x3]
I left it all to die
I saw its birth
i watched it grow
i felt it change me
i took the life
i ate it slow
now it consumes me
BREAK DOWN
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW
what once was breathing
REACH OUT
and you may take my heart away
Heart away
Bleed Black
I am exploring the inside, I find it desolate
I do implore these confines, now, as they penetrate, "recreate me"
I'm hovering throughout time, I crumble in these days
I crumble, I cannot, I cannot find reflection in these days
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I am destroyed by the inside, I disassociate
I hope to destroy the outside, it will alleviate and elevate me
Like water flowing into lungs, I'm flowing through these days
As morphine tears through deadened veins, I'm numbing in these days
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
I know what died that night, it can never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
I know I died that night and I'll never be brought back to life
Once again, I know
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
So...
(If you listen) Listen, listen
(Listen close) Beat by beat
(You can hear when the heart stops) I saved the pieces
(When it broke) And ground them all to dust
Silver And Cold
I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Light, like the flutter of wings, feel your hollow voice rushing into me
As you're longing to sing
So I... I will paint you in silver, I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throws, I'll fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throws, I only ask you turn
As they seep... into me, oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me)
Your sins into me... oh
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one, now
Your sins into me
As a rapturous voice escapes, I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
(Your sins into me) Your sins into...
(Your sins into me) Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Dancing Through Sunday
Will you join me in this dance, this dance of misery
Cradled in impos- impossibility?
Swooning, I am swept away
Swept off my feet.
With step by step by step we take the lead
As drop by drop we start to bleed
[Chorus]
Oh we dance in misery
and we dance oh, and we dance oh
Oh, we dance in misery
lost in the arms of the misery oh
Oh, we dance in misery,
and we dance oh, and we dance oh
Swept off our feet by our misery
We
Will you lend yourself to beauty that will horrify
Let me hide within your black, the still inside your eyes
Deafened, caught within a cry, so sensual
As step by step by step I seperate
As breath by breath I suffocate
[Chorus]
So who will follow
Who is the lead
I know I'll leave a stain
Because I bleed
As we dance
We all dance
We all
Have no chance in this horrid romance
[Chorus]
Girl's Not Grey
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows
All insects sing tonight
The coldest sound
I'd send God's grace tonight
Could it be found?
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
I'll lay me down tonight
Much further down
Watch stars go out tonight
On sinking ground
I'll lay me down, I'll lay me down
(What follows) me as the whitest lace of light
(Will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place
where I belong, with all erased
What follows will swallow whole
What follows will swallow whole
Death Of Season
I feel the falling stars encircle me, now as they cry
I held the falling star and it wept for me, dyin'
I watch the stars they fall from the sky
All of this hatred, is scuking real
So bored with mortality, I decay.
Feeling surrounded,
Posthuman extinction excels unrecognized.
Out there so quickly, grows malignant tribes.
I feel the falling stars encircle me, now as they cry
I held the falling star and it wept for me, dying.
I watch the stars as they fall from the sky
Killed by the weakness, but forced to return. Turn it off.
thrown into banality, I decay.
Writhing with sickness
with hatred, so alive
Just to go outside, to leave this dead space
Of late, it's harder
The Great Disappointment
I can remember a place I used to go.
Chrysanthemums of white,
They seemed so beautiful.
I can remember I searched for the amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes eyes to see.
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.
I knew they would appear...saw not a single one.
Oh, how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.
I'd make a wish and bleed.
While I waited
I was wasting away.
While I waited
I was wasted away.
I can remember... dreamt them so vividly.
Soft creatures draped in white,
light kisses gracing me.
I can remember when I first realized
dreams were the only place to see them.
While I waited
I was wasting away. (3x)
Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was wasting away.
I never, never wanted this.
I always wanted to believe
but from the start I'd been deceived.
I never, never wanted this.
Inside a crumbling effigy,
so dies all innocence.
But you promised me
Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)
Raise high monolithic statues so fragile.
As they fall, I am ever enthralled
Gaze, lie and smirk in time.
Your arrogance will suit you well
'til fashion is dispelled.
As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
you're going out (going out) forever unknown
these waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
you're going out (going out) forever unknown
From above a rain of ashes descends.
Anathema I will remain (forever will remain)
From below, in my seclusion
look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn.
Without habitation.
You'll never find a soul inside, no life, but nothing's died.
No lights, but quite the show
(just as long as no one ever knows all motion is pantomime.)
Dancing in the rain of descending ash. dancing on your grave.
I'll see you all falling.
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust
I'll see you all falling.
I'd stop it, had you a heart.
This Celluliod Dream
Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you're so exquisite
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes read "vacancy"
Twisted, twisting
To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"
But they never stopped playing "their song"
Of a joyous song the sing, I've heard whispers
On a freezing note, I resonate
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twisted
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
In the glitter, in the dark, sunk into velvet
Praying this will never end
In the shadow of a star, in static pallor
I realized I never began
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Just like a memory, it twists me
Just like romantic verses, just like a joyous end
Twisted
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey
All the colours upon leaving, all will turn to grey
(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving
(All grey) all will turn to grey
(All grey) All the colours (All grey) upon leaving
(All grey) all will turn to grey... grey...
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Onto the melting boy, and melt away
You light as gently, you're so cinematic
Bathed in your radiance
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
You land as lightly as the new snow, and melt away
You land as lightly as the new snow, cinematic
Bathed in your radiance, I melt
The Leaving Song
[Chorus]
walked away,
heard them say,
poison hearts will never change
walk away again
turned away in disgrace
felt the chill upon my face
cooling from within
hard to notice
gleaming from the sky
when your staring at the cracks
hard to notice
what is passing by
with eyes lowered
walked away
heard them say
poisoned hearts will never change
walk away again
all the cracks they lead right to me
and all the cracks will crawl right through me
all the cracks they lead right to me
and all the cracks will crawl right through me
and they fell apart
As I
walked away
heard them say
poisoned hearts will never change
walk away again
turned away in disgrace
felt the chill upon my face
cooling from within
...But Home Is Nowhere
Twenty-six years and it seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Twenty-six years end, still speaking in these tongues
Such revelations while understood by no one
When the new actor stole the show, who questioned his grace?
Please clear the house of ill-aquired taste
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something
Give me something, give me something real
I lay strewn across the floor, can't solve this puzzle
Everyday another small piece can't be found
I lay strewn across the floor, pieced up in sorrow
The pieces are lost, these pieces don't fit
Pieced together incomplete and empty
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
My prayers to disappear
Absent of grace, marked as infernal
Ungranted in dead time left me disowned
To this nature, so unnatural
I remain alone (x2)
This Time Imperfect (hidden track)
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay.
Forever haunted, more than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say.
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
There are no flowers, no, not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you, could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me.
I cannot stay here. I cannot leave.
Just like all I loved, I'm make-believe.
Imagined heart, I disappear.
Seems no one will appear here and make me real.
There are no flowers, no, not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you, could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me.
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
I'd tell you how it haunts me,
You don't care that it haunts me,
You don't care that it haunts me.
There are no flowers, no, not this time.
There will be no angels gracing the lines,
just these stark words I find.
I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak.
I'd share with you, could I only speak,
just how much this hurts me...
just how much this hurts me...
just how much you...
Spoken Poem at the End of ...But Home is nowhere
We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. I rode alone.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence. Of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desparate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.
