poison’s deep
the cure is hard
hard to find!
empty shell
filled with life

at one single touch
fabric, soft
cutting gently through my skin
just one shot
holy bullets
digging through my world of sin

take my soul
never thought i had one
anyway
was left to rot
in the cage

twisting fire
rendering
these hollow bones
(out of) reality

fades away
but your place
still feels like home to me
even then
if im gone
will i learn how to be
loving to
whatever stays
will mirrors chant my name
will you pray
for me soon
will i learn how to love you

i love you
i love me
im hunted
im hunting

is there a way to save face?
a hurricane blows down the walls
is my voice far too frayed
am i the one who must come out to play

after years of breathing smoke
you’re seeing right through me
the moon is flickering
reflected off cold teeth
the bite marks on my skin
draining blood and nothingness
the symptoms you cried to
were always a part of me

but you dont know
what is hiding
in these bones (i live for this)
so i’d better go
find a place
i belong (and be hunted)

the rain is pouring through
the cracks in the ceiling
the water pulls me down
but i am still breathing?
the pavement is drenched in
chalk drawings and broken dreams
the downpour’s relentless
it washes away everything

so live through the sting
or ill die
panicking (i live for this)
must wake with a start
sinking deep
in the dark (and be hunted)

ive slipped away from the chains
cold is a feeling so is the pain
i didnt fold but truthfully told
id rather be safe than brave

do you think you can ever be understood?
do you think theres comfort in what you took?
does that have to be decided by the cards?
can’t we be whatever we thought we are?

i drift down to the bottom of the sea
seeking shelter in someones arms
i sense your body’s
meshed with the dark
i wish you could take me in your fold
make my blood turn freezing cold
and tear my soul out through my eyes

a new worlds stretches ahead
i need to make myself
i need to make a home

dont think about the end
like you always have
just think about the time
that has been left
i know one day
you wont be so tired
i know that day
is now
