Black Damask

Now what have I become?

It's more black in my heart

Than the ice in your lungs

Hail elegance as we revel in the lust of pure destruction

"Miss cadaverous", let me light the dark in your eyes

I am yours

Like the stillness of a corpse

With a heart bound by ache

Though it doesn't beat it breaks

I am cursed

I sew my eyes shut just to sleep

We're caught in all the webs we weave

No sonnet for the recently deceased

They lie awake just to hear you scream

Strip the world and paint it fucking black

Now what have you become?

You once felt like home

Now you're just a ghost in the fog

The funeral song of misery was played on keys of ivory

"Miss cadaverous", show me who you really are

In my eyes I am yours

Such a paleness I adore

With a heart that's bound by pain

Though it doesn't beat it breaks

I am cursed

Oh what a mess I have made of my life

"His arms are around me

His tongue in my eyes"

Hide my face from the light

"The spider man is having me for dinner tonight"

Now go back to the start, I still hear her voice

But she's lost in the fog

Your "love" is just a frail disguise

To hide the pain behind your eyes

In lacerated lullabies

We all fall down

Your "love" is just an alibi

The antidote of your demise

In lacerated lullabies

We all fall down
