lyrics

Dramatic webs woven in wicked ways
Wither and kill as they go away
Top off the cake with bitter ice
And melting feelings shout the vice
Enter into the static chromatic influence
And cut yourself on the hair, so fine
Dramatic webs woven in wicked ways
Wither and kill as they go away
Chew on the cud that makes you whole
Putting glee into your soul
Minute quantity of winter air
And there is just no way to share
So I'll sit back with infinite patience
And hope to hear, but I don't want to listen
Staying sad isn't what I want, but it's right
Despair is oh so cold and dark, like night
Butterflies dance about
And I want to be so happy
But things are in the way
Things we cannot say
What circumstances have been dealt
Slowing down what we've felt
And if this was read, I wonder if they'd know
Damn this solace that is woe
Hearts, so desire and contract the mindless
So burrowed and hallowed, kill the defiant
So lovely and blue, such a pretty decision
And these hearts take poisonous incisions
Who shall mark this greed with hunger and lust?
Can't drive such a heart to get caught in the muck
And infinite, such braids of confusion
And the hearts take poisonous infusions
Rip off the scab and expose the cleanliness
And wanting to rid such a horrible pretense
Dive into the lake of serenified lobotomy
And the hearts are poisonous inside of me

Two days – objectify the touch
Heartache – infatuated rust
Inner – contactifiable
Reason – just must let go
And so pretty this ulcer is
Getting in the way of everything
Can I really feel these things?
Happy discord confliction it brings
Remembering things in abstract proportions
Things that look like mental abortions
And riddles of hate and anger do sing
Why would I do such terrible things?
A daunting revival of popular dramatics
Mellow, so insane and in love with it
Treason without ever defying a thing
Things are negative and plentiful
Finished intestines gleam with such beauty
And so funny as I desire this for me
And black spots and light spots, all the same
Insane, insane, insane, insane
I don't understand, this is so scary
Filling my thoughts, making things buried
And art chokes this throat and makes me fall
But this makes me not able to recover at all
Outside – this looks so sick
Inside – it's not so bad when you're in
Too bad – I never live inside
Wonder – that is always my mind
It's different when you're there
'Cause everybody cares
And too real of an existence
These things fall away into dispense
