Hell is in Front of You

From these lips, dark nectar lingers and bleeds decadence
Moonflowers of my soul strike the hearts of those who dance
To the words that drip off of my tongue, this is romance
Not chemical, but optional if one would like opulance
Woulds’t thou like to live deliciously?
Dine impeccabily, breathe in the world as it is ambitiously
Would you ever be
Brave enough to see
I am the true dark heart of royalty
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of you
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of you
From these eyes these corpses march on to a new day
No control for the poisoned souls, rules are for yesterdays
Rosy intentions in lust for women, fuck his reprimands
Your Hell is my pleasure, kings killed for being bland
Woulds’t thou like to live deliciously?
Dine impeccabily, breathe in the world as it is ambitiously
Would you ever be
Brave enough to see
I am the true dark heart of royalty
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of you
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of you
Join me on my grand endeavor
Forget the things they say to each other
Let live in one’s own grain, please remember
Life must be lived in fun not whoever
It’s my turn now, hear me shout forever
Woulds’t thou like to live deliciously?
Dine impeccabily, breathe in the world as it is ambitiously
Would you ever be
Brave enough to see
I am the true dark heart of royalty
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of you
This is what you see
This is what you hear
This is what you feel
When Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of
Hell is in front of you

Moth Hearts

Moth hearts have been with me
and they flutter sweet
Still in mourning for the morning doves
Moth hearts, no spark
In the dark, lost stars
Moth hearts have been with me
and they flutter sweet
Still in mourning for the morning doves
Moth hearts, no spark
In the dark, lost stars
Moth hearts, no spark
In the dark, lost stars
Moth hearts, moth hearts
We flutter and fall apart

Small Town Ghosts

Petite and sweet, so afraid of being rejected
You are just meat, something succulent to devour
These are the words that you feed to me in the night
Visions blurred, I see a hybrid, Bugs Bundy
You’re always quick to call me crazy and lazy
You say it best I’m fucking stupid and useless
Sweet as poison, Life is just spoiling
And I let it rot
The small town ghosts are all waiting here to see
My escape from this life of damnation
The small town ghosts think that there is hell to pay
And when due dilligence is served, I’ll be in wonderland parades
So torn in half, oh I may just eat at myself
A honeyed bath, the decadence of tears of wealth
Breeding lillies out of trees of silk and mire
Wearing darkness, grotesque sadness
You’re always quick to call me crazy and lazy
You say it best I’m fucking stupid and useless
Sweet as poison, Life is just spoiling
And I let it rot
The small town ghosts are all waiting here to see
My escape from this life of damnation
The small ghosts think that there is hell to pay
And when due dilligence is served, I’ll be in wonderland parades
The things from the dirt
Have been so perturbed
They say that if I don’t see things quite right
The world could end in a dying fight
The star that they believe I am
is royalty and they can’t stand
to see the willow trees falling over me
The small town ghosts are all waiting here to see
My escape from this life of damnation
The small ghosts think that there is hell to pay
And when due dilligence is served, I’ll be in wonderland parades

Darling, I am starved and deprived
Of all the things that I’d like
To hold, to cherish, to keep
To have, to be, read it and weep
I’m a liar, a sinner, unhinged, don’t you see
Sex with devils and angels, like God said to be
Can you see that this is the world that we all birthed
Thrive in the madness, the chaos, lessons can’t be learned
Till you turn back the clocks of time
You won’t see how wrong you are when “right”
Make up the rules as you go
There’s no one more corrupt than us
You know this
You know
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted
Darling, I’m a rat in disguise
Can’t help, but devour my pride
Illness, terminal sadness
The clock it twists, I am Alice
Orphelia, my leader, drowning in the lake
It’s at this time I wonder if I am a fake
Lithium in my tea, I have collapsed at sea
No one attempts to stop me, cause they’re never free
Till you turn back the clocks of time
You won’t see how wrong you are when “right”
Make up the rules as you go
There’s no one more corrupt than us
You know this
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted
And when you can’t find me
Cause my body’s rotten
I promise to haunt you
’Til you have your coffin
But until that day,
I will suffer in my pride
Conjure up a smile,
My purpose is to hide
And when it is done to complete perfection
You’ll know this is the art of…
This is the art of…
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted
This is the art of being living dead
Will you use my blood to paint the world in dread
Oh, don’t touch me, I’ve been exsanguinated
A walking corpse, life’s been deleted

Dear Diary
03:19

Delusional God complex
Pulling out my teeth
So sick, Disillusioned
Ignore all my needs
Teddy’s instead of doctors
Never wanna eat
Scared of all the others
People will hurt me
Make up fake people who could
Care for me, give me hugs, and should
Be able to handle my burdens
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Everything hurts, will it ever fucking leave? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
I’m exhausted, can you see? Can anyone love me? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Oh dear diary, dear, dear diary
Intense self hatred
Question affection
Keep thyself a secret
Live in confusion
Watch myself self destruck
God, I wanna run
Can someone take care of me
This isn’t any fun
Make up fake people who could
Care for me, give me hugs, and should
Be able to handle my burdens
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Everything hurts, will it ever fucking leave? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
I’m exhausted, can you see? Can anyone love me? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Oh dear diary, dear, dear diary
These pink leather gloves
Hold up my cheeks like turtledoves
The attempt to see my eyes
Red and itchy from my cry
I’m new to the love
A home given from up above
Treat me with all cuddles
Lots of hugs, tons of bubbles
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Everything hurts, will it ever fucking leave? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
I’m exhausted, can you see? Can anyone love me? Please?
Dear diary, dear, dear diary
Oh dear diary, dear, dear diary

Doll

Mama says I’ve been a real good bad girl
Papa says He’s afraid I’ll blow up the world
My wounds are lethal to those who cause ‘em so
You’d better watch out cause my blade runs on expresso
Emperean devils witnessed my greatest fall
They rose me up like a tattered little doll
Wicked vanillla, scattered hearts and brains
Fill me up with your poision and remains
That’s what they say
That’s what they say
Give me daisies and liquor and jewels
Give me candy much sweeter than pools
Of blood, baby
Give me everything I don’t need
Help me, can’t feel a goddamn thing
Dressed up like a doll that’s all I’ll be
A doll, baby
Balloons on chains, you’re afraid I’ll fly away
Blow out my brains, try to keep my fun astray
Bring me your diamonds, I am worth billions
And I don’t care about your fucked up opinions
My art’s an antidote to melancholia
Bear it now, joyous memorabilia
Filled with rage, absolutely adoring
Call it mellifluous, colorless fever dream
That’s what they say
That’s what they say
Give me daisies and liquor and jewels
Give me candy much sweeter than pools
Of blood, baby
Give me everything I don’t need
Help me, can’t feel a goddamn thing
Dressed up like a doll that’s all I’ll be
A doll, baby
The lost art of pretending to be
Someone else, beautiful tragedy
At some point you’ll realize the fee
Is brand new you, the immoral key
Give me daisies and liquor and jewels
Give me candy much sweeter than pools
Of blood, baby
Give me everything I don’t need
Help me, can’t feel a goddamn thing
Dressed up like a doll that’s all I’ll be
A doll, baby
