Still I Breathe
Why,
I'm alive,
and still I breathe
in the midnight hour.
I want to touch you,
tear into your skin,
don't stop until I get enough,
I was born from original sin.
Don't be cruel
to a heart that's true,
shock the monkey
in it's cage.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
Everyday is so wonderful
waiting for the sun.
I'm a slave of being my captor.
You may find yourself
.........the same as it ever was,
you may ask yourself
.........how did i get here.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
I don't know why
I hunt like I do.
I'm looking at you through the glass,
don't know how much time has past,
but I know that it feels like forever,
but no one ever tells you
that forever feels like home
sitting all alone
inside your head.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
More human than human,
cut your pride
and watch it bleed.
I feel the pain in your eyes,
Give it to me,
Give it to me.
No escaping pain,
you belong to me,
clinging on to life
by the skin of your teeth.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
Take a look to the sky
before you die
it's the last time you will.
I'm your source of self destruction,
dedicated to how I'm killing you,
Hell is worth all that,
natural habitat.
She wanted the world
so I strung her guts up
in the rafters.
It's like a dream
I won't wake up from.
I won't be sleeping tonight.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
It aches in every bone,
I die alone,
but not for you.
Tell me how does it feel.
I am smelling like a rose
that somebody gave me
because I'm dead and bloated.
You look at me
but you don't see,
understand
I'm a sinner.
This is my life,
the healing hand
held back by the deepened nail.
Don't come around here no more
words can't bring me down,
your delirious
no matter what you say.
Your pathetic in your own way.
I'm doin' the best I ever did,
I'm doin' the best that I can,
now go away.
Gettin' back,
get back on track,
get off my back.
I pick myself off the floor
and now I'm done with you,
Always.
In this moment
I am sinking
in this silence.
In this silence
I believe.
I'm here to turn up the volume
and I'm gonna enjoy
making you enjoy it
