The Unbearable Darkness of Being
|
|
|
Midnight lies ‘neath moonlit skies
Darkness gladly blinds my eyes
To all the pain and fear out there
Stygian blackness everywhere
When moonlight shines and shadows form
So different from the norm
The ugly world cannot be seen
Moon provides a silver sheen
(chorus)
My nights are full of loneliness
My days with apathy
Society a vampire
Whose sucked my will to be.
Dying
Dying
Dying
From the Unbearable darkness of being
The silhouettes and shades of grey
End of yet another day
So beautiful when light is low
Just the pale moons eldritch glow
Enshrouded in this cloak of night
Don’t have to bear the lights
With the dark humour of the hearse
My unhallowed soul was cursed
(chorus)
Though I tried to reach and touch
Another human being
My heartfelt love is stillborn
And I’m drowning in my tears
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning
With the unbearable darkness of being
If there’s a God in heaven
He should look at what he’s done
As Eden lies in ruins
And it seems like Satan’s won.

Underground

An autumn wind
Whisks up the fallen leaves
Exposing long dark hair beneath the shadow of the trees.
A face of beauty
The eyes opaque.
Devoid of colour
Gothic blind date.
A crawling moss grows
On her marbled features.
The family have long since shed their tears.
Six months to the day
She last drew breath.
And I still treasure the knife
That kissed her breasts.
(Bridge)
And as I pass by
I’m so tempted to wake her.
And ask her how it feels to meet your maker.
I still remember her voice – like the Siren’s song.
And with her under ground - is where my heart belongs.
And with her under ground - is where my heart belongs.
And with her under ground - is where my heart belongs.

Nobody There
|
|
|
Saw you standing with another
Saw the love light up your eyes
No reflection issues from him
Brings you right back down to size
(chorus)
I look inside me but there's nobody there
Stop to ask myself why I should even care
Already wounded and already scarred
Seen it coming, tried to stop it but it's always so hard
Cannot see the light of heaven
Wicked thoughts that won't subside
Blacker deeds could issue from me
Force my soul to run and hide
(chorus)
I look inside me but there's nobody there
Stop to ask myself why I should even care
Already wounded and already scarred
Seen it coming, tried to stop it but it's always so hard
(solo)
I look inside me but there's nobody there
Stop to ask myself why I should even care
Already wounded and already scarred
Seen it coming, tried to stop it but it's always so hard
I look beside me but there's nobody there
Seems sometime things in life can never be fair
I've tried and tried to put my mind at ease
Always there, won't somebody come and help me please
(solo 2)

Red Lamps
|
|
|
Cannot feel, cannot see.
I'm not the person I wanna be.
Touch it inside, pageant front.
The knife before me is fucking blunt.
Like you.
(chorus)
I wanna leave it all behind.
Can't believe you buried this.
I can't find it.
Red lamps shine with candlelight.
You know the flame inside you that burns tonight.
Picture somewhere, deepest frown.
Lost soul trapped in, emotions down.
You sell virtue on my last day.
I swear I'll exit in my own way.
Like you.
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Like you.
(Chorus)

Fallen
|
|
|
Feel frustration, Feel it closing in.
Desparation, Just beneath my skin.
Surely someday, Someday things will change.
Dark emotions need to be re-arranged.
Falling. Falling down
Falling. Falling down
Falling. Falling down
Goddess-shaped yearning, burning in my mind.
Searching inside, What I need to find.
Feeling empty. Myself gone away.
I'm just a shadow, Vacuum filling me.
Falling. Falling down
Falling. Falling down
Falling. Falling down

Downtime
|
|
|
Come with me now, You're never coming back again
Come show me how, I never seem to have my fill of pain
Goddess knows why you're allowed to live another day
Adrenaline high
(chorus)
Can't you see we're needing some downtime
Leave me be we're needing some downtime
Can't you see we're needing some downtime
Leave me be we're needing some downtime
You suffer with me, the time has come for you to pay
Silent agony, all you have to do this time is die
Goddess knows why you let your spirit ebb away
Adenaline high
(chorus)
Can't you see we're needing some downtime
Leave me be we're needing some downtime
Can't you see we're needing some downtime
Leave me be we're needing some downtime
Hypocrite, your god has no power.
See's our world and tries to devour.
I see a heart that's darker than midnight.
Can't see how we'll ever be alright.
Come with me now,
Come show me how,
Goddess knows why,
Adenaline high
You suffer with me,
Silent agony,
Goddess knows why,
Adenaline high
