(i live in a tiny box inside of you
but this shell's gone and i'm taking over)
i know you can hear me
close your eyes don't fear it
let me swim inside the secret room
and dive into the drawers
with a smile i stroke the locks
and they fall like silk threads
i know my way around you
i know how to bury myself deep
i show you white walls but slowly
you see the faces underneath
you're loving feeding loving feeding loving feeding it
i live in a tiny box inside of you
but this shell's gone and i'm taking over
you twist words into my mouth
so i think your voice out loud
and bow down to these sounds that hatch
i'm not myself anymore
you made my lips into zips
and then you put a lock on my jaw
you know your way around me
you know how to bury yourself deep
you show me white walls but slowly
i see the faces underneath
you're loving feeding loving feeding loving feeding it
i live in a tiny box inside of you
but this shell's gone and i'm taking over
you can scream as loud as you want
but nobody will ever hear you
and well don't you recognise your own voice
and well don't you recognise your own vice

dig
04:31
|

charcoal graves growing on my skin
living in a dying cell
tip me upside down slowly
empty out old ghosts
i buried the place where i belong
but i can't ignore the traces of soil
that hide the line between my screams and silence
can you dig me out
i don't feel alive
i don't feel alive
something isn't right
this mind isn't mine
sleeping on the edge of a knife
it decides whether i'm dead or alive
i am surrounded by these silver ashes
waiting to be reborn
looks like i don't have anywhere to belong
i'm just floating like silk underwater
or burning quickly with the sun
can you dig me out
i don't feel alive
i don't feel alive
something isn't right
this mind isn't mine
i don't feel alive

fear machine
04:11
|

|
house of horrors red light knows when i open my eyes
walls wrap themselves around me warping what's alive
banisters can chase me reflections are trap doors
intimate and inanimate twist the rules around
i become the pawn trapped on the board whilst they slither up and down
the dice they use to play is black and empty
a recurring role in my dreams
fear is a machine that fell in love with me
love is a fear controlled by machines
this house of horrors where'd you come from
my living flesh you're built upon
i can't help but fall in your arms
knocking you down puts holes in my heart
if you try go underground the house flips upside down
digging holes you'll only find parallels of yourself
every escape only leads to new organs of the maze
like a tomb for the funhouse that was left to rot alone
instead of bricks this house is made of rotting blood and stone
its tentacles are leeches on my i'm part of its world
my veins are the cracks in the walls
i can feel it's heart pulse in my sleep
fear is a machine that fell in love with me
love is a fear controlled by machines
this house of horrors where'd you come from
my living flesh you're built upon
i can't help but fall in your arms
knocking you down puts holes in my heart

anchors
04:10
|

|
anchors sleep deep under skin
deadly dormant surfaces
i try to find the exit
the puncture from where it came
dug a hole inside myself
just to get away but the anchors bring me back
this home is a sacrifice
taking me away from light
to keep my darkness fed and full
the weaker i am the stronger the pull
they taught me
how to tie knots inside my head
my thoughts are a fistful of loose threads
that tie me down
anchors float above my head
waiting for the perfect moment
like a vulture with a chain for a neck
circling every hotspot of dread
they follow me
every time i reach the horizon
i'm running inside ropes again
every time i've learnt how to cope
i'm taken back to where it all began
they always drag me back
they always drag me back
drag me
they drag me back
i have learnt to love that shadow in the sky
i can hear them ringing out until i'm dry

spawn
05:44

i'm your little devil
darling brought me up in red
what did you expect
when i'm the leftovers of the sins and the sorrows you cut off
these snaking tendrils from your head
they've been living in a net
the condensation of your thoughts
you tell me that i am bad
but you made me who i am
which one of us is the spawn
i wouldn't be here without you
released from the womb of your wrath
these tendrils could never forget where you hacked
their malnourished bodies in half
they curled into a ball
the loose cannon that could cry
you never thought i could be reborn
but ashes are memories
that never forget where they came from
you tell me that i am bad
but you made me who i am
which one of us is the spawn
i wouldn't be here without you
anger's your art
i am your monster
self-destruction
perverted into a frame
you're just a hothead
who stumbled upon a sharp edge
to pierce your flame and let out the hot air
so thoughts would deflate
but not disappear
this is how i became
i don't have a face
i'm a mannequin manifestation
of what you tried to release from yourself
but darkness always grows back from the bone
i'm not human but you wish i was so you could tell me i'm wrong
you curl me into shame desperate to roll me away
but we're a ball and chain
you tell me that i am bad
but you made me who i am
which one of us is the spawn
i wouldn't be here without you
anger's your art
i am your monster
self-destruction
perverted into a frame

black gravity

dance black holes dance
i know you can
i know you
you know me
i feel you
limbs burst out like long claws
squirted oil
black spit tangles
i can't help the pull
black gravity
it's got a taste for me
beartrap smiles
hungry spirals
misery makes a piece of meat from me
i've got a taste for the pull
black gravity you're never full
i would love to hate you
but you're a part of me
dance black holes dance
i know you can
i know you
i know you can
lonely coils
left out to spoil
i'm the rust and you're the rain
we're falling like black gravity
you're a bullet made for me
taking dark matter into your own hands
shape-shifting your way through my mind
that's unleashed control
my body dissolves
lonely coils
left out to spoil
i'm the rust and you're the rain
we're falling like black gravity
you're a bullet made for me
eating dark matter
from your own hands
my body dissolves
i would love to hate you
but you're a part of me
keep falling

eat your heart out
05:02
|

|
dragging my soul around
on a metal frame
like it's the last remains
of a cold dying stranger
plastic bags full of memories
hanging from silver hooks that wink
just before you close your eyes
forever
and you remember you used to feel pain
before we rolled it into stones
and threw them at the glass eyes
they told us to play the waiting game
where we got so bored and numb
we ate our hearts out
now we use that space
for something else
waste not want not we found a new
purpose for this room
where the dread come to fall
and crawl back to life
and you remember you used to feel pain
before we rolled it into stones
and threw them at the glass eyes
they told us to play the waiting game
i'm hooked on a heart
feed me discarded love
soaked in blacked-out memories
to stitch me back up

immoral playground
05:34
|

is this what desire feels like
from the outside
is this what desire looks like
from behind
red shadows carving faces in the night
a void of torture stripping souls in its path
like a hurricane inside its whiplash is the place
for the imperfections to store their mistakes
is this what desire chooses, immoral play
is this what desire uses, a puppets string
is this what desire means, stuck inside flashing walls
is this what desire thinks of me, a lonely flame to feed
this is what desire to me
the desire sees the cracks in the cream
and it dives inside able to squeeze between
any gaps it makes or finds
swaps a piece of my soul for a slice of flesh
my strings of love are torn at the stems
and my heart
is a plate i balance on a stick
if the last piece of sanity starts to give up hope i know
that none of this matters
and i will let everything fall
i will forget that the rush of joy isn't real
it's only the brush of desire
now give it to me
all wrapped up
so i can turn it
on and off
dirty lights
always hide me
from the sorrows
hanging over
underneath the dark
i rely on a borrowed heart
all i need is you
for a place to keep it
now give it to me
all wrapped up
so i can turn it
on and off
dirty lights
always hide me
from the sorrows
hanging over

pleasure island
04:07

guilty pleasures
stroke the loathing inside
building up a fortress
a hiding place for loneliness
you close your lips and throw the key
guilty pleasure swallow it whole
to find something to remind you
to make you feel remorse
hadn't heard of them
until you played with my isolation
you gave it luxuries i can't myself
without hurting somebody else
guilty pleasures stick together
in velvet coated cages
there's no need for them to escape when
i let them run
i let them run
unlike a dream i wake up with bruises
unlike reality i'm reaping in the benefits
from a spot to a blur now here i am
stuck on pleasure island
every thought turns to a cloud of poison
secrets spill like blood
dome of mirrors edge of my world
showing everyone but me
forever i'm on a hunt
to find myself
to find myself
unlike a dream i wake up with bruises
unlike reality i'm reaping in the benefits
you showed me how to distort my view
feed me a bruise so i can feel you
i can feel you

finally
05:35

i was a doll
my human gone
so they played with me
because they thought it wouldn't hurt
my inner child
growing in the wild
layers like a Russian doll
to protect herself from
heartbroken
oh the lessons learnt
the spotlight comes on
when the blood comes out
so i made
a safety net of strangers
they didn't know my weakness
gave me my doses of danger
oh every time i was hurt
oh i was told i was beautiful
i became a wounded animal howling at night
greif came when the little girl inside me died
i've been mourning ever since i've searched far and wide
the more i realised her pain the more she came back to life
finally
the victim card
takes me back
to the past where i can feel it all again
i'm my own killer and saviour
there's no room in my head
for all the masks i wear
hallucinating my fears
in the form of horror stories
little by little
i made a tear in the cycle
and i'm ready to comfort her now
oh every time i was hurt
oh i was told i was beautiful
i became a wounded animal howling at night
greif came when the little girl inside me died
i've been mourning ever since i've searched far and wide
the more i realised her pain the more she came back to life
finally
