The future is made while you sleep
Make the bed if it calms
Blankets will burn to ash
The world is a burning house
Lungs will change into cash
Leeching hate rouses
This house smolders
Everything strays the same

This glooming sunset
Pushes my eyelids down
As I fall into a crooked daydream
Where vanity lights make me feel
My life is meant to be consumed
All I see is red
Feverish daydreams
With tails, scales and teeth
Have a life of their own
You scurry like vermin
As cash sets the atmosphere
Values build on twigs and mud
Prancing in a red dress
Cloaking with gold
Rushing the darkest blood
I hope you find
What you’re looking for
But if this is all you want
I feel sorry
Please stray from the path
That is blessed by the void
All I see is red

I smell like shit
My bit is covered in spit
My father’s idols
Are now my enemies
Feed me
Breed me
Break me
Mold me
Thank god for the blinders
Feed me
Breed me
Break me
Mold me
No rest no grace
I hate circles
They keep me on track
My own idols
Will float in blood

I see what I want to see
For when I dream
I have control
I harness you by my lust
As make-up runs down your cheeks
I argue with myself
We fell in love with an image
What she sees in you is me
Image is broken
Image of control
She used to tell me
I’m wishing for the moon
We all die alone
Alone and asleep
I love your image

Let Your Fingers Bleed

Can you smell it
The constant irritation
Eyes searching for a fault
With stillborn posture
Vain soul breathes the stale
A stink under white tablecloths
Take my passion gravely
Goddamn
Take my passion gravely
Goddamn
Can you smell it
The constant irony
Mouths searching for a blame
With learned gestures
Dead soul breathes the stale
A stink much worse than failure
We want something to call our own
Ghosts to foil the rusting hope
Let your fingers bleed
Let your throat breach
We are forced to live in a world of clichés
