The sun also rises… In hell. But now never again, kill the lights Fucking break the skin. Gave it all I had, now I've nothing left to give And if you love life, there's some life you won't live Burned my bridges beneath me I've more than had my fill… So much, more unspeakable In the four chambers of my heart: In the torture chamber of my heart Laid out on that floor Those nights hanging by a thread Unsure whether it was desire or despair that kept me drawing breath When all my dreams came down to nothing, Left me just another piece of meat For you I carried my life on in my teeth Through betrayed years and bloody tears And pits where you can only crawl Poor Grendel's had an accident… So may you all And in dust the end of all my fears, Nothing an on one can reach you in here- Holy of holies, the altar of flies And I will sleep in your embrace tonight.
She draws me close and shuts my eyes, Regrets and secrets, don't say a word (on rustling wings of leper skin) Slides a finger in every nerve. We burned down the candles of our youth Bathed our lives in heart and soil Poured out our corroded insides while we could Body and… Sold- For blood money that bought our ghettos and gods The black skies hanging over the highways- So this is how it comes to a close
And she's wringing all the memories from my heart With all the tenderness of the dispossessed Counting down the seconds in bitter fear Praying to cease to exist
Thy silent hands they come for me Thy cold caresses they comfort me Thy icy blood it runs through me When I'm asleep in your embrace FOREVER. I'm never coming down again (into nothingness I'll never know).
