lyrics

You can't kill the ghost of 21-17
Protect yourself and let me free
Obsession v. reality

Can't clear a room of memory
Protect yourself and fall for me
This might be better on out knees

"Hey!" she'd say,
"I think I'll disappear today"
You can't scrape the marks off the wall
You scream my name but never call

Hey! Confess!
You're slipping into nothingness
I know your scent anywhere
I see your skin and feel your stare

"Ah you make me imagine such debauched and decadent things"
"And all the world falls down among her melting Icarus wings"

Excuse me Mistress,
Long time since I've heard from you
Wicked enchantress...
Torturing temptress...
We never got to have one last caress

Stumble down the hall and remember
He slaps my face and kisses my lips
A red velvet box of memories of the things chosen to be missed
Dark dreams so vast and vivid
At your feet, hands tangled in dark hair
This is our cross to bear

(you always hear me say your name...)
