Small hands learn quickly To guard soft hearts Hiding beneath folds of skin Packaged up perfectly Equal parts Scared to lock out and let in Dressed up in rosettes and ribbons The wrapping’s surprisingly thin The hope is if it’s darling outside You won’t search for trouble within I’ll find a known course of action Have you grow in my brain Drive me to distraction An all too common transaction Clinging onto chemical reaction If for a gift I can buy a moment I’ll crush my pride and I’ll pay One little gift can shout what’s unspoken Too deeply hidden away To come out and say To come out and say Small hands learn quickly that tender touch Brings an exile to its end Caress and embrace both become a crutch On which they start to depend And if ardour abandon their body Then what can they do but pretend Exchanging some contact for closeness Is a bargain they learn to befriend I’ll find a known course of action Have you grow in my brain Drive me to distraction An all too common transaction Clinging onto chemical reaction If for a kiss I can buy a moment I’ll crush my pride and I’ll pay One little kiss can shout what’s unspoken Too deeply hidden away To come out and say To come out and say -so speak- Put some words to my life Unleash stories I’m frightened to tell -so speak- Bravely open myself Or risk living a personal hell Just stand up and be counted -take a stand- Stand up and be counted Stand up and be counted -take a stand- Stand up and be counted Reject the known course of action It would grow in my brain Drive me to distraction An all too common transaction Clinging onto chemical reaction If for my life I can buy a moment I’ll crush my pride and I’ll pay One little life can shout what’s unspoken Usually hidden away We’ll come out and say That we were afraid We’ll come out and say That we stood anyway Stand up and be counted

Blood Lust 04:47
You’ve got those trusting wide eyes And they’re desperately pleading A carnal fever inside That won’t stop ‘til you’re… Bleeding Seems you’ve thrown your lust in with your fear Now my rage causes relaxation And I know they say don’t trust relation But I can tell is it causation Clothes rip leaving you bare And fingers circle your neck Grabbing fistfuls of hair Catching scraps of murmured threats Though it’s dangerous to dare Refuge ain’t worth regret Brace yourself and prepare For vicious groans and dripping sweat You won’t believe your existence Until you can feel your assistance Don’t try To deny That you want me to Hurt you Alive in pain It makes you real again Alive in pain It makes you whole. You feel nails scratch down your back And leather sting on your skin Unsure how to react To bring reward or punishment When you start showing cracks Then we truly begin Strained rope going slack Panic seeps out from within Kneel to accept your instruction There’s no guarantee of destruction But I promise your downfall with seed From seduction Don’t try To deny That you want me to Hurt you Alive in pain It makes real again Alive in pain It makes you whole …It makes you whole.

Lights 04:45
Degrading constellations False dawn of our creation Ignoring implications Luminous accusations Florescent pollution Pinpoints make no intrusion One simple solution Brings dark its absolution The evening skyline looks like day But truth behind it stays They’d have to kill the lights to see The stars in this city And not even the night will be Our escape from electricity The earnest desire Unleash artistic fire Pushing our hopes higher To cosmic planes aspire Craving inspired attention Truthfulness gets no mention Convinced we breed invention Looking to bring ascension And so we gather hopefully Ribs cracked faith beating free They’d have to kill the lights to see The stars in this city And not even the night will be Our escape from electricity They’d have to kill the lights to see The stars in this city And all of us we fight to leave Some trace some lasting legacy Pull ourselves in tighter So we can burn brighter And we can’t concede Intensity Dies out quickly They’d have to kill the lights to see The stars in this city And not even the night will be Our escape from electricity They’d have to kill the lights to see The stars in this city And all of us we fight to leave Some trace some lasting legacy

Song 18 04:21
Shall I compare thee to The autumn leaves that fall in spring Or to the joy that the Destruction of an earthquake brings Shall I compare thee to my Secret fear of taboo I’m still waiting for the sun to cool And though it may be thicker than water If I’m dying of thirst I’m not looking for blood So fuck you and your Narcissistic tendencies That back and forth The games you play Won’t end in you Controlling me Used to live in fantasies Of how these things were meant to be But now you’re finally come to see You can’t contain me Shall I compare thee to The final moments of this world Or to the grain of sand that May one day become a pearl Shall I compare thee to those Stopped clocks that everyone knows Silence and time can be so cruel And though it’s meant to be bricks and mortar I can’t build on foundations with this flesh and blood So fuck you and your Narcissistic tendencies That back and forth The games you play Won’t end in you Controlling me Used to live in fantasies Of how these things were meant to be But now you’re finally come to see You can’t contain me Blank days An infection Infiltrate my recollection I say Cold rejection Provides complete protection And though you’ve backed me into a corner Well, I’ll still be around when you’re done sucking blood So fuck you and your Narcissistic tendencies That back and forth The games you play Won’t end in you Controlling me Used to live in fantasies Of how these things were meant to be But now you’re finally come to see You can’t contain me You can’t contain me (R)

Helianthus 03:49
Filled boxes Lined up in their perfect rows Where our roots reach low And we can grow Push upward and open One by one by one We are unfurling unbroken So we turn towards the sun Before it sets And place our bets On what comes next Stock still in Beds that no one seems to tend And we slowly bend At summer’s end Fatigue turns to falling motion Sink back down to dirt Continuing cycles unspoken So we turn towards the sun Before it sets And place our bets On what comes next *Turn towards the sun* (r) We turn We turn Upturned faces To brighter places Turn We turn In darkened spaces We still find traces Turn towards the sun Before it sets And place our bets On what comes On what comes next
