Whilst considering the
Deficiencies
Solitude encompasses me
& sorrow bleeds
From my soul

How many times
Do I need to walk the floor
Praying peace
At the midnight hour?
Tell me
Please tell me


Didn’t matter what I saw
Or heard or spoke or touched
It was all an illusion
‘Cuz I was caught up
In pretending
Yeah in pretending


And now, my lover
I’m finished
Finished playing games
(I’m) reincarnated & free
(I’ve) risen from the flames


I don’t belong to you
No, I don’t belong to you
No, my lover, I don’t belong to you

Untitled

Like a flash of lightning --
The happy days . . .
Again, thrust so far
Into the caverns of memory
They are but shadow people
Hovering hazily, lazily
The music fades to a
Few simple notes, then
Once again
Silent to the world

Shhhh . . .

Not a soul stirs . . .
All is placid; serene
Tears begin to fall
From the sinister clouds
Rain melts the makeup
Into rivers flowing down
My pale cheeks

Closer (Nine Inch Nails)

You let me violate you
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

Help me...
I broke apart my insides
Help me...
I've got no soul to sell
Help me...
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation...
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith...
You can have my everything

Help me...
You tear down my reason
Help me...
It's your sex I can smell
Help me...
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God

Through every forest
Above the trees
Within my stomach
Scraped off my knees
I drink the honey, inside your hive...
You are the reason I stay alive...
