the two faced man with the skeleton head
is pointing a finger at me
the lake of fire that drowns my skin
swallows every part of me
the precipice from which i jumped
seems a thousand years ago
the eyes i had when i could see
i'll never have again
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
the empty room is full of life it slashes violently
the toxic fog makes me want to wretch
but there's nothing inside of me
this world is neither good or bad it has no agency
i pull back my hands from grasping gloves
trying to bury me
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead
hello mother hello father i'm dead

You Minus Me

jump tell me how high
jump tell me when i jump
you don't need to push, push me
i want to cut without razors
cut this mortal being
cut you don't need to
i can do this i want to
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
touch go ahead and touch
call me with a touch
you don't need to stop, stop me
i want to cut without razors
cut this mortal being
cut you don't need to
but i can do this i want to
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me
i fear monotony in absolute symmetry
this penetrating oblivion
you minus me

who do i think i'd like to be forever?
would you choose to die with me forever?
what do i think will tether us together?
smashed upon a reef drowning together
in this room voices attack they scramble in my head
from the floor boards through the cracks
a haunting chorus of the dead
who do i think i'd like to be forever?
would you choose to die with me forever?
what do i think will tether us together?
smashed upon a reef drowning together

i will search for you through muddy trenches
i will shut your eyes and close your mouth
there is nothing left standing upright
the dead silence drops on moon dead ground
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
pretend that the killing isn't happening
it's easier to play at
i will search for her through acrid smoke veils
my two hands are ripped on shattered glass
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
pretend that the killing isn't happening
it's easier to play at
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's play let's play let's play mortuary dress up mortuary
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
let's all just play it's miles away
