lyrics

Wake up in a bloodbath
So this is your aftermath
Clean up the next mess
Trash-Throne, no empress
Exiled from dreamland
Stitch-wrist handstand
Demons to re-brand
All under yor command

Face crushed under what could've been
The weight of all things unseen

Flashback to seventeen
Puke, happiness and daydreams
Smooth edges, no fangs yet
Sexy young undead
Flashforward to twentytwo
All your relations are screwed
Oh, look where you are sitting now
There's nothing left except

The bright future that everyone hailed
Versus all the expectations that you failed

Behind the walls and beneath the see
In empty halls and behind the trees
On top of windmills, pink haired summer breeze
That's where you can call out for me
purifying veins
tear drops ocean clean
Mirage familiar, yet obscene
Watching poison gas and desert streams
from a mountain lake-surcface sanctuary

The noise that rings so very bright
A feedback-loop stuck on the inside
I sing your precious nightly lullaby
When all you want to do is hide
I'm otherworldy proof some innocence survived
That's not all that's good within you has died
And I swear, I swear
I would never let you down
But you have to get back up right now

I'm fucking dying in here
salt water invades my nose
You shut the lid on us
Suffocate us with smoke
No depth in here
just waste you accumulate
Can't flush yourself away
You know it is to late
Still you wish to die
If only out of spite
Towards those lacking me
Deemed blassed with sanity
Take your anger out us
Yes, we care
Without the comfort of your soul
We wouldn't be there

Kneeling in the snow, head hanging in shame
Yes, we've all watched quietly
Yes, we're all to blame
Unleashing pink earthquakes on your inside
Seducing you to light fires you never dared to light
Splitting your hydrahead to stand by your side
Pushing you to move machines you couldn't ignite
Creating a hole in you you'll always fail to hide
Inviting your truest self and kiss it good night

All of the time that you waste for me
To us you're like an infant god
Claustrophobic and free
All the things you have not done as of late
For you I just remain inside here
For you I'll wait

And now look what we've done with ourselfes: something
Mindless self indulgence and dreams of grandiour and suicide
and that one truth hidden in the back of your mind
When it comes to effort you know: you barely even tried
Another breakdown another long night for me
But I won't hold it against you
For we made peace, finally

So please get up and look forward to tomorrow
