Midori 05:02
I have come this way before, It is a path without an end. The further you go, The darker it gets. Ugly flowers give off a strange smell, The graves in the cemetery have given up their canaries. A small insect clings to my foot, It lights up my skirt with its blue beam. Who are those people down there? They are waiting for me to break down in tears. I want to remain a child, I want to remain a human being. Although I have taken off my red shoes, Although I have ran without looking back, I have gotten lost in a labyrinth. I have never found the path of my dream. I have come this way before, I have come the other way, too. I shall never see you again.

There's no one to call now, tired birds dream by the beach You feed on poison, her temperament is your relief You breed in darkness, not to reveal your deepest flaw Contaminated, the city ruins lie afar They feed on insects that populate the empty streets You bathe in anguish, she has not met your primal needs Infatuated, you're only concerned with your skin Granted asylum, only in the deepest caverns of your dreams

light sparked a candle in the dimming room the warmth i felt, it turned to pain as the exposure overcame my dulled sense of desire your body, mind set me aflame lust burned through any reason i had left and all the reasons to forgive were lost that blasted night i fought the thoughts, i fought the light and as the gross caricature became all that you saw of me, i realized there's truth in pain, and nothing on my mind but thoughts of you your chill resolve that brought me to my knees i crumbled into broken bones, i fell beneath succumbed to the bewitching spell, i thought of nothing more, than to obey than to perceive the smoldering decay as you instilled the lovely, bitter pain that burns me to this day

Time Capsule 04:50
Sand burns under your little feet You were told that nothing's real, But you tried so hard to protect That tiny, fragile space within your head Summer fades into a blazing, orange flame Your purple flowers still fill my brain Try to retrace my way back home But find it burned out, faded, I'm alone

Requiems 03:15
He's got a mouth like a damaged machine and it won't stop repeating, until it has finally expelled all possible meaning, listen to me just for a moment, do you sense any sentiment from this end Just waiting for your chance to respond to spew out more meaningless bullshit You can't expect to make connections this way my boy, you can't expect me to give a fuck Oh but you don't, the pleasure's in the act itself I have no say, my hands behind my back, face down in a pile of your empty words I have no say, my hands across my face broken down in a pile of your empty words

Gateless 06:04
Have you ever felt an empty chasm within yourself? Have you ever felt an emptiness bigger than yourself? Have you ever felt a growing void within yourself? Do you ever feel like there is nothing that could ever bring you back? Can you almost taste a new beginning, just out of reach? Do you ever feel the rising pressure of your old life seeping in? Are you going to stay here forever, my old friend? Could there ever ever be a future, is this all pretend?

T-Girl 04:16
we are fishes in the sea never restrained, never free live forever here with me I won't ever let you be left alone here without me bridges crumble to the sea and we never knew how fast this would end until time caught up with us again it didn't give us a warning and now we're sitting here and mourning those days that felt like they would never end we are dying in this sea never restrained never free we'll live forever you and me i promise you, i promise you don't believe them, don't believe we will lie here dormant in eternal embrace until the universe explodes

Panthea 06:36
In here snow falls nonstop I thought we might jump in the radiant crystals, free from love, hate, temptation just one of them transparent, glowing with millions of lights all connected to each other stretching out like dust we fall this is where i'll be this is where you'll find me now this is where i'll be this is where i'll wait for you the left disconnected we flow into an endless sea gather ourselves together flow outward into infinity this is where i'll be this is where you'll find me now this is where i'll be this is where i'll wait for you
9.
Help me, I deserve everything But you told me I won't feel a thing, I don't Free me from this machine I've bled the last drop Shut off Your gauges point to the ground Leaking oil That seeps through faulty lines inside your chest The final request
