L'amour Et La Luxure
05:10
|

Nobody wants commitment but to be fair it's become rare.
Don't get me wrong I understand, I sympathize with your words.
But if you feel you can't love, then let me go, let me be free.
Fare thee well, and so long, please take care, I love you too.
Love and lust, we can't understand how this things really work.
How they kill, how they congregate; in our heart, in our soul, in our spiel.

She sits down next to me.
She tells me she’s a one way street.
I tell her I’m lonely and I need a friend.
She tells me as lovers we can lose ourselves.
But I don’t want to be her one night stand of empty touch and broken trust.
She’s sleeping next to me.
Oh good Lord, I’m a one way street.
I lean in my hand to caress her face.
She suddenly awakes and she needs her space.
For she just wants to be a one night stand;
No strings attached, just for good times, so we spin.
So we spin, so we spin, so we'll spin, we'll spin.
Spin, spin, spin; we go round on the merry-go-round, I’m spent.

Be My Love

Shake your body head to toe.
Move your love really low.
And the way you sing moves me.
Yeah your beauty exceeds anything.
If you knew this you'd stay.
If you knew this I'd change.
If you knew this we'd wait.
If you only knew, but you never will... be my love.
The color strands of your eyes.
Captivate me all the time.
And the way you sing moves me.
Yeah your beauty exceeds everything.
If you knew this you'd stay.
If you knew this I'd change.
If you knew this we'd wait.
If you only knew, but you never will... be my love.
You'll never know how much I cared for you my love.
We will never be, he will never be, I will never be in love.

Dark Honey

|

|
I like watching romantic comedies for the always end up happily.
Serendipitous sceneries where two strangers become lovers.
So how long will I wait in this pouring rain in the scene of departure.
"Fare thee well, and so long, and take care."
We tally up in a kiss of despair.
You bid me well.
"Safe travels, be loving, and always carry your faith."
"And most importantly fall in love."

Ma Cherie, Aishitemasu

We are machines without feelings.
We are machined without meaning.
Will you disassemble me?
Please? Free me...ma cherie, Aishitemasu.

Draweth Nigh

Settle down in this ship with me.
Set a course for the seven seas.
Come what may we'll weather the storms.
For no force on earth can break our bonds.
Come what may, don't give up.
The skies are grey as the sun slowly sinks.
And Jesus walks towards my battered ship.
Come what may we'll weather the storms.
For no force on earth can break our bonds.
Come what may, don't give up.
Come on, come on, don't give up yet!

Lay your weary head down;
And don't you worry about them frowns.
I hold your hands and kiss your pain until you sleep.
I'll wake you up in a scene where we're dreaming.
Because I love you, and I will never abandon you.
I'll hold your hand in the darkest of days.
I'll wake you up in a scene where we're dreaming, my love.
Lay your weary head down, for my love is unconditional.

The scenery spins with black and white.
While all your words meld in the grey.
And the casket is cold as your arms don't hold us anymore.
You were my love, hero, and best friend.
Silent films refract our minds.
Silent films wade through our eyes.
Silent films end with tragic lovers.
But I will always love you.
Below it's cold and lonely without love.
While the world soundly spins against.
Here my room is cold for my warmth no longer lingers there.
And you touched the stone in fields where I now lie beneath.
Silent films end in tragedy.
Silent films are a part of life.
Silent films are black and white in our eyes.
But I will always love you.

Wherefore Have You Gone
02:11
|
|||
|
As child young naïve I thought I could be good.
While I grew older darkness unwound.
Therefore I divided myself.
Wherefore have you gone?
Those callous hands show shame.
You ought to know that I'll still love you the same.
Don't stay asleep my love, a cold has caught your winter wield.
Words that meant to leave benign.
Your thoughts they come into your soul, empty.
I'll always love you.

Will The Flowers Bloom
03:15

"Do you think we all go to heaven when we die?
Please answer me.
Hello?
Are you there?"
I've been rotting in a quarry stone of six by eight.
An Iron box laid all 'bout where darkness roams.
But the skies are blue, where the flowers bloom.
I hear the skies are blue, will the flowers bloom?
Mhm.
Conjuring faith, hope, and love in a mother's womb.
So I'll give up my ghost for my Father's word.
the skies are blue, where the flowers bloom.
I hear the skies are blue, will the flowers bloom?
Mhm.

Suicidal Gesture
03:31
|
|||
|
Birds flock onto my tattered clothes.
Picking off the flesh on the bones.
To and fro like ravaging wolves.
The current draws me into the seas.
So I weigh the pros and cons of life.
Suicide ain't something we talk about.
I've set a course for the seven seas.
To and fro like foaming waves.
Drawn below by the siren songs.
I washed upon untrodden lands.
So I weigh the pros cons of death.
Suicide ain't something we talk about.
"Well don't give up on me."
"On me, don't give up."

Ye Shall Surely Die

Well you've all been lied to in this age of Pisces.
Are we the sheep to slaughter?
For the devil's grinning.
And the wolves lead the flock to the bottomless pit.
And the hired shepherds lead the sheep to the Lion's den.
I'm ashamed of my wicked heart.
I'm ashamed of my wicked ways.
(Oh, Lord)
I repent.

Apparition
02:47
|

|
I've been losing sleep since the funeral.
But I'm finding hope in all you wrote us.
I'll keep coming home until you answer.
For I won't lose hope where there's still life.
(Hallelujah, hallelujah)
The father, the son, and the holy ghost.
I don't expect you to understand.
Hold your head high my fellow brethren.
For I ascertain will see each other again.

Prodigal Son
02:11
|
|||
|
How are the mysteries that God once showed?
Found love in another man to even those scales?
I fear for losing what was never yours or mine.
You'll end up following the blind leading the blind.
Good God.
Science and education was all I knew in school.
While all those philosophers had the salt I once savored.
I too did not believe in some omnipotent being.
Yet here I am laboring for Christ Jesus.
Good God.

If You Loved Me
05:01
|

You say that you're in love,
and that you can't live without it.
You say that you need me,
but if you loved me you'd put Jesus first.
And if you loved me you'd seek Jesus,
you'd put Him first before me.
If you loved me, you'd praise Jesus,
Making Him the apple of your eye, my love.
(Hallelujah)
I know that you love me
but if I stay I will surely fall.
I know you say you care,
but if you cared you'd let me go.
And if you loved me you'd seek Jesus,
if you loved me you'd put Him first.
If you loved me, you'd sing Jesus,
you wouldn't lie like Delilah, my love.
(Hallelujah)

Swing Sets (Woe Unto Me)
03:21
|
|||
|
You've stayed inside my lungs
when lovers have come and gone.
An unbeknown chromatic lens closed in all around us.
Where we confess lust for love, woe unto me, woe unto me.
(hold onto me)
The summers have come and gone where lovers no longer hum.
In these empty cold sterile sheets;
where moth doth corrupt all around us.
There I confuse love for lust, woe unto me, woe unto me.
(hold onto me)
Hum, hum, hum.

Landlines & Breakups
03:39
|
|||
|
Darkly mirror refract the light and dark.
Where beauty vexed in grief, there woes resonate.
“I’m hallow, I’m hollow.”
While waging wars; beneath the ruins of God’s temple.
Silhouettes form the stone as the Son settles down.
“I’m hallow, I’m hollow.”
“I’m hollow.”
