Chasm with a Crown 03:32

Obtrusive through the distance Rough with a gentle touch You turn me out carefully Can’t make any promises You know what this is I have so much to give Built the world around A fortress of peace Concealing a chasm with a crown Concealing a chasm with a crowd The world at your fingertips All the power in them lips, but your impulse control You eyeball fuck, no, no, this ain’t love Deeper we mindfuck, still speechless I’m your favorite adjective Fuck your preconceptions, I’m the only exception To your rules, to your rules Make a move Holding the world above me Playing god with the world in your hands Spared the precious, dull the diamond Unravel time, into the shadows, you’ll find A second is too long An hour too much a day gone Speak to another Watching in my time of need I’ve been waiting ever so patiently When I feel thunder Heart and mind asunder You’re my wonder You possess me it’s happening You call me out, I can’t win you But I don’t see you with a clear conscious Built the world around A fortress of peace Concealing a chasm with a crown Concealing a chasm with a crowd The world at your fingertips All the power in them lips, but your brains so weak You eyeball fuck, no, no, this ain’t love Deeper we mindfuck, still speechless I’m your favorite adjective Fuck your preconceptions, I’m the only exception To your rules, to your rules Don’t pretend with me Don’t contend, protect your baby Please, can’t make any promises Can’t make any promises You know what this is I have so much to give

Scorpion in a Bell Jar 04:53
lyrics

Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it With depths like an ocean To plummet but we soared The floor opened to roar As if, utopia absorbed me Living vicariously Scorpion in a bell jar, specimen Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it I don’t mind a secret In the moment of burning and blooming A blacksmith pleads divine, this torment can’t be bought for sale One of a kind, hell made, christened in the tears of wishing, well, well, still echoing Dropping centuries telling stories, the old days with a different face Oh, a tears topography, of abandonment, of happiness Now frozen over, the dying out of kingdoms on pedestals The charge of realms Let me wrap you in my words First, take me in your hands Tie me with your tongue My what a vicious dear Salty honey, honey Dry tears A rotten sweet tooth Sullen I need my jaw to break To wipe the eyes from your face With a gaze that gouges and penetrates Hearts have wings, so I say your name over and over again Fluttering with adoration Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it With depths like an ocean To plummet but we soared The floor opened to roar As if, utopia absorbed me Living vicariously Scorpion in a bell jar, specimen Don’t give me love if I can’t keep it I don’t mind a secret The charge of realms Let me in, let me wrap you in my words Heaven give me permission Can you bear the sin? First, take me in your hands Tie me with your tongue Running, rushing My what a vicious dear Salty honey, honey Dry tears by the years Made days feel glorious Always looking in for something more Freedom implored The way your words turn me, unremorseful Lapsing lines and annihilating Searching every inch of your body The silence warned you This torment can’t be bought for sale

Duchess/Unbecoming 04:22
lyrics

Unbecoming, my inner Virgo Teaching men how to save their souls I don’t claim them, I don’t claim him When his eyes rolled back So close to heaven, like that, hm like that My alibi not innocent, only good intent I can’t forget suffering in the name of grace The fates, let the merciful persist Heaven and I know Nothing shines anymore but the black I love to pieces Cherished the pain, bonded to the dreams The complexity made it all the more special to me The struggle made you the most beautiful thing Unbecoming all these issues Preying on a diaphanous dream to cement everything This affection, degrades Everything takes me to limbo Promises won’t do Give me evidence Differing from the morally bankrupt I’m so particular And you won’t do me justice My love is sacred Like my hatred My touch is sacred Like my hatred You can’t replace it Cross me A chameleon creation This is self-preservation My alibi not innocent, only good intent This compromise Starring at the sun to rectify How nothing is promised How you won’t be missed Excuse my indifference Living off hollow wishes I can’t afford these tears Make me a believer I exist for no one Pluto told me so, so did Juno Everything takes me to limbo Promises won’t do Pluto told me so, so did Juno All I know, all I loved to the tomb All I love heavenly doom Do heads bounce or roll? Somewhere over the rainbow We all fall down We all fall down

I can’t tell you why I adore you Why I still long for you But temples become prisons under fire Save my helpless and add it to the list Cynical, pessimist, despondent black residence I know I’m amiss Save it for the mirrors Save my helpless I play it safe, push it down Whenever you’re around I dug in, I dug deep Way down where the secrets sleep Prayed the lord my soul to keep Will you forgive me, saving all my tears I dug in, I dug deep I’m empty I give my talent, I’m not good company Tell me that I’m worth something Come on heart machine Dying slow, oh uh, oh, oh I’m right in front of you All you talk is distance I’m listless, full of doubt Using the friction to get around I can’t lose control Sweet chokehold But you can lick my bones Last time, like last time I’m still falling Save my helpless and add it to the list Cynical, pessimist, despondent black residence I know I’m amiss I dug in, I dug deep Way down where the secrets sleep Prayed the lord my soul to keep Will you forgive me, saving all my tears I dug in, I dug deep Way down where the secrets sleep

Consigned to Oblivion 03:56
lyrics

The freedom of the fog Strips me then dips me Invigorating ephemeral hours Afternoon left me dripping Drowning to the surface Fading in and out What I want is only what I need Who I am is who in finally see A new dream wakes me Not the top of the world but to the water Fascinated endlessly by nothing Like I saw it coming This new part of me Raining fire, hm burn me brighter Rinsing me of passion Only weakness breaks through to me Pervade desire, hm hold me tighter Propelling me to build Angel wings, crafted Cascading reveries The freedom of the fog Strips me then dips me Invigorating ephemeral hours Afternoon left me dripping The freedom of the fog Strips me then dips me Invigorating ephemeral hours Afternoon left me dripping Drowning to the surface Fading in and out What I want is only what I need Who I am is who in finally see A new dream wakes me I walk the line Not afraid of dying The letters between the lines Underwhelmed I slip from mind Consigned to oblivion Passion laced up my spine What the point in living without dying? What the point in living without dying? What’s living without crying? Turned away by the other side But I didn’t want to breathe again, oblivion Cause that would mean you leaving again From my lungs, closer, I hold you in Seeping out my skin, closer Disappointed I cried with no fear I still can’t see the winning Raining fire, hm burn me brighter

I brace for smiles I give them what’s priceless You can bury me in sky I want to choke on diamonds when I rest I’ve met your counter before I’m not there yet Looking down on me Past hell The damage has been done Waiting for thunder Come too far to run I hoisted myself from the convergence or order I was buried in Running in the dark, sparks hung on thoughts I paint myself, sewn to the silence There’s a creeping fear that’s not rational Past hell The damage has been done Waiting for thunder Come too far to run Tethered to the elusive home Of spasm and unfolding impulses Sinking into the tremors cradle To lift my eyes with my head by my side
