Indulge
Baby on a bed of nails,
Distance pushin’ daisy frills,
Starlight glowin’ all around,
Silhouettes in window sills.
Hush for me to come undone,
As if I’m still the only one.
My eye is hot,
and I’m eager to fall,
and I’m feelin’ all your venom
as I scurry up the wall.
However torturous our scenario seems,
She is the queen of malfeasance
And I am her king.
Pushing outward, Pendulum Swings,
Liberation, Isis Wings.
Ballerina, toes on the sky,
Asphyxiation, banish sighs.
Sew a needle in the eye, Heaven wears a red disguise,
Cremate me after I die, So I may return to the fire.
Shattering glass within her gaze, Grasp the devil by her legs,
And I feel a little death come over me when she smiles.
Indulge in treachery,
The part of me that won’t let go.
Decadence in you,
That won’t let you move
Until I tell you to.
Now my eye is hot,
And I’m hangin’ by skin,
But she’s the Goddess of Nothing
And I’m helpless again.
(Chorus)
Now I’m eager to fall, and I’m comin’ round again,
And a scream pours from my mouth
Chimera in it’s den.
Cuz I know how it is, when we’re curling up laughing,
Talking about dreams,
And I’m afraid
It won’t happen again…
(Chorus)
Maybe this can’t mean a thing, but we’ll do it all again,
But for now I can’t lift my head up, and wait for the end.
(I can’t make it to the end)
