Marriage

Harpe 06:35
But can you keep it to yourself? There's nothing i won't do To know that you're distorted To feel the end of you And though i've been contorted I'm gonna see this through And there's a space i'll occupy More harm done from the inside And when you sleep you'll see my face No other hands will grip you And there's and image you replace I know the real one What i wouldn't give to be the one To choke the last breath from your lungs What i wouldn't give to Rub up against the humiliated part of you It must be worse the more you realize Now that there's no one left to owe Its getting backward Can't you see i'm still your sister not your foe? In a time when i felt quixotic In a noise that had found me lifted Its missing Just risen From a path, from a tongue From a bitch that became so twisted Resisted every word that he said 'Neurotic', 'Exotic' Better moods get me bodied To a new state i advance Passed the shade and the groping of hands Better zip that pussy and lock it Better put your faith in a new plan and Girl you've got it all wrong

Some honey and rust have come to your voice Dear, After all these years You're just as beautiful as ever The wound is still so fresh Its hard to lose you in the ether Harder to hold you in the flesh Can we stay together if i'm in fragments? Can we go together if you're on your own? Will you hold my hand as my heart turns inside out? (Will you hold my head as my hole turns inside out?) Can we say 'goodbye' only to say 'hello' again? There's a character missing So i write him in a new part Express the love that just wont grow Hide the heart that just won't start There's a player missing So i try to move her notes No one holds her weight No other actress sells the role The mimic forgets her own voice What to do with your useless fucking life Now that you've got the choice? Waste it on me Building the monster Build the machine Only to hide every inch of my being But from whom? With one last bite I could consume you With your last light Let me know Is your new life that much better without me?

Medusa 02:35
Enclave of the vanities She lies in the bed Dead from pitying humanity When everything's distorted can you loosen the noose? Act like everything's important Holding firm to the curse You chose to be this turnt Reduce her to her knees She think she ready Such a fool for masculinity Medusa Keep your gaze I'm just a statue it doesn't mean anything Let me go When will you let me go? Shrinking and inverting How my little heart was hurting Married proudly to fear As i have always been here but now that superstition has beaten you to submission Can you wrestle it back? And is the magic intact? But it breaks me apart To know its fixed from the start I was petrified
4.
Cum Cavern 05:20
And if you let the right ones in Maybe your hole can feel as cold as this Bare glowing skeleton Unveil your fear If the rope has got some take Maybe master will allow Your insipid heart to break Like i do, Like i break Take as much as you can take Like i fib, Like i fake Feel a chill that i can't shake To my girls all around the world getting dissed Cheers to this To my bitches that be having a vision of bliss High five Worth the pain Hear you calling my name In cum cavern All else is eclipsed Worth the pain Heard you calling my name In cum cavern The monster gets its wish
5.
Anhedonia 02:15
Marked off as 'anhedonia' She's looking the same If we would only try to peak We'd see what remains Hollow girl with an ankle weight I'm living for the chance to break this Shallow field that's caving in In In IN Form some meat into the shape & i'll hold your hand If you could make her heart appear To be whole Beautiful, beautiful It turned out beautiful I'm not saying a godamn thing Like i feel, Like i hope You acquire the life you dream Anhedonia; is place that we have seen Anhedonia; is a girl that we have been
6.
In Pastel 02:22
At least you know that i can't be reborn this time I'm gone for sure Show me your greatest weakness Son, your wear is showing Your hell Now in pastel Like It was a memory Only for thing But the inside is overtaking the whole Only to find a mirror That will hold The mirror hides where i'll go Say 'its good' Say 'its mine' Say 'you should' Say 'its fine'
7.
Sheila 02:24
GET OUT MY FACE 4 THE REST OF MY LIFE Tell me when to stop and i'll keep going A shame You want to know Who i've been showing And where i go Oh, Sheila Oh, Sheila Can i adopt your prose? Should i rifle through your memory? Should i take off all my clothes? Oh, Sheila Where are we now Oh, Sheila Should i be proud of myself?
8.
The Braid 02:02
The Braid Ghosts wind in backward My tail it came to curl But not since I last heard My life it learned a snarl Yes, you came and you gave me Mithras Yes, you broken You know, Sir The braid The bind Leave love behind The knot The tie Let love inside Braid your fear to mine Our entrails entwined
9.
Dead Girl 05:03
When we were here before I saw a man o' war Strewn you by the beach So close yet out of reach Now your light is gone Trapped inside a shell Now your love is gone Love tycoon Ready for the world Your attitude is like glass But its all good if you cover it with words Love tycoon Ready for the word But can you sell emotion? Can you barter with my love? You couldn't say it to my face You'd never ask How could you tell Left some flowers for the dead girl Wrote you this song to wish you well

(Gold ★) If you can keep it together I'll give you a gold ★ If you can keep it together Then maybe i can I probably can't But maybe i can...
