in my cold damp dark room the petals open the rose has bloomed
not a shred of flesh that trusts the heartstrings played out of tune
like a fungus i shall grow under the weak light of the moon
but the dream is not to die but to wake to the sun against my room
but thats not even possible with the way I plant my feet,
dig my toes beneath the roots but my ankles fuse to sheets
and I can beg to the sky for the sun to see me plead
lovers carved their initials on my skin and let me bleed.
despite the skill of playing with my words that play with truth
about my mundane life with the same lines overused
It was me who dragged my soul from the confines of this room
I'm proud to say my happiness is not a product of you
and I was useless and wishing I could hit the notes you can while you take mine
blabber a ballad, we're both the x and coexist on a chorus line
menage a naught fuck what you thought, we run this on our own time
voyeur old inspirations who let themselves become a punchline
I'm an original soul in carcass a heart, cavernous screams ring they true
I'll take an idea and a sound and i'll fucking make something you can't even try to do
bodies of landmarks separate styles of hard links to break in to
I'm bad with names when you haven't got one but truly I really hate you
