lyrics

the black-lined scowl of a mask of darkened faces looking down on me
i brought you back into my cold dark room because i wanted you
the only flesh, the pink and tan, the scent of my torment drifting back on me
bloated and ugly the scar that drifts behind, the pain that fills your mind when you think of me.

remember me, when i was the boy with the empty eyes who never never, never lied
who never knew what he felt inside, never found a reason, never found his dream

the faces, the faces of all the ones i wanted slamming back again, slicing through my skin
they gather around as their faces bleed, and all watch me. keep their hearts concealed
object object you use us all as objects, never let me breathe
now i lie, we lie alone, a million nights of happiness i’ve never known
now i lie, we lie alone, a million nights of happiness i’ve never known
