Fantasies they frantically mix themselves with subtleties and merge with unobtainable results that aren't sustainable You never had the chance to see the monster in the mirror she just stood there in denial as he held me from the promised land That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap My guitar strings reek of demon seed, the semen of the evil things he left on all my body parts so his songs could satisfy your hearts. Anguish mixed with apathy, he's robbed me of my purity, he's penetrating me and then he's putting me to sleep again. That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap My brother had a sister once, she left the room without a cunt, she's locked up in the attic where she's raped and tied up to a chair. I'm hidden from the public view, fear was always letting you pretend I don't exist til then one day I took control again. That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap That's how you fall into the trap, into the trap

It hurts too much to say in present tense But the love I felt for you was very real I'm feeling the fragments Edges of emotions I'm not quite sure I know how to express. Nobody knows what's inside of me Nobody knows what's inside of me It hurts too much to say It hurts too much to tell you I love you<3 As the butterfly emerges from her festering cocoon She's fluttering around the fallen tree As the pollen fills the atmosphere My lungs are getting stuffy And it feels like I'm forgetting how to breathe Nobody knows what's inside of me Nobody knows what's inside of me It hurts too much to say It hurts too much to tell you I love you<3 I hold back my heart and let it beat a little slower I hold back my heart and let it beat a little slower I hold back my heart and let it beat a little slower I hold back my love til it's no more.... I once loved a boy but now he's a man He said, "be strong for me sweetheart one day your pain will end" He said, "you're such a special girl" "You're a beautiful woman" One day you'll finally learn to love yourself Nobody knows what's inside of me Nobody knows what's inside of me It hurts too much to say It hurts too much to tell you I love you<3 Nobody knows what's inside of me....

i can feel the ship toss in the morning, even though it’s never left its harbor; all the world’s failed cosmonauts, paralyzed and drifting off in anger. you and me, we are the heathens that they locked outside the sacred chamber-- you stood around and showed your strength ’til i fell in love with a suit of armor. we’ve got big plans for this world, it’d be a shame to throw ‘em all away. on nights like these, when the perfume gets too heady, and the sky is full of stars like broken glass, we drive around in search of secret wells by moonlight, and let the nagging questions go unasked. we’ve got big plans for this world, it’d be a shame to throw ‘em all away.

this song is for the pentagram i carved when i was drunk into the top of my left thigh. this song is for a secret that nobody seems to know, a secret that'll make you come alive. you dressed in robes, up against the backlit altar; a silhouette against the storm. the will that's on your face electrifies the hall, from the rafters down to the concrete floors. so now you claim the skies above you, and the earth you rest your feet upon. i saw you raise your fist, defiant, against the heavens. called him "father" tall and proud, for all of us who were made to feel unwanted, writhing out there in the crowd. now it's dark, and they're cleaning up the ballroom; the beast is growling in its sleep. we stumble dazed out of the wild abyss, futures burning on our cheeks. so now you claim the air you take in, and the breath reverberating out of you.
