Phone Voice Phantom Skin
03:52

(Inhaling you like perfume on my skin
Keeping the pictures just as deep within)
Phone voice phantom skin
Crawling even deeper in
Lips are made of air and sound
Never feeling solid ground
Hold your breath, don't say a word
Breathe again, make yourself heard
People do not die from sin
Phone voice phantom skin
Phone voice phantom skin
Our craving breaks out from within
Consign my body to your voice
I'm at your mercy without choice
Invisibly I touch your lips
when suddenly your conscious slips
People do not die from sin
Phone voice phantom skin
Phone voice phantom skin
Airwave sighs are spiraling
Words are hidden in the dark
Ghostly hands can leave a mark
On heated flesh when moans decline
Our very special crisis line
People do not die from sin
Phone voice phantom skin
Phone voice phantom skin
Listen to the devil's grin
Weakness hits with sleepy force
Your breath sounds like a song in morse
My own blood humming me to sleep
Another memory I can keep
People do not die from sin
Phone voice phantom skin

Symbols

laughs when she lies
isn't there when she sighs
on her knees when the wine
and the sound break her teeth
her mask should be messed
but she's perfectly dressed
for a war that's a fake
and makes everyone sore
everyone sore
symbols surrounding me
turning me down in the air
that is drowning me
turning around
to friends 'round the corner
who wait at the border
line up all your horrors
and leave me alone
her mask should be messed
but she's perfectly dressed
for a war that's a fake
and makes everyone sore
laughs when she lies
isn't there when she sighs
on her knees when the wine
and the sound break her teeth

Kinky/Vanilla
03:09

he still looks young but he feels like a wreck
stares at the tv ‘til it starts staring back
he’s dressed in different shades of black
no silver line in the clouds above his head
still he’s sleeping in the sky, kinky/vanilla guy
still he impersonates denial, kinky/vanilla guy
he still looks young but he’s feeling too old
half tied and bruised and broken, half platinum and gold
one half is patchwork stitched, one half is bound to fly
he’s always been the schizophrenic kind of guy
still he’s sleeping in the sky, kinky/vanilla guy
still he is waiting for reply, kinky/vanilla guy
he still looks young but his past feels unreal
stuffed in boxes, stacked away, almost breaking the seal
lost in vanilla dreams with a chain around his neck
focused on one good truth, he’s never turning back
still he’s sleeping in the sky, kinky/vanilla guy
still he is holding back a sigh, kinky/vanilla guy

Impatience
03:21
|
|||
|
forget your future and your past and place it in my hands
this night’s forever, light won’t last, and this is your last chance
inhale the absence of the light, all your ambitions fade away
the darkness lights your shiny night, there are no seconds here to stay
i won’t stay, i won’t mind, i won’t leave and i won’t bind myself to
impatience, i can’t wait to see you, impatience, i can’t wait for you
some guy appears in birthday drag, you know the end is near
there is no way of turning back, you won’t just disappear
so many ways to ruin a show, i know i’ve had my share
all known diseases in a row, and scars remind me everywhere
i’ve shown you more than I should have - impatience
i’ve shown you less than you deserve - impatience

Polaroid Affection
02:41
|
|||
|
two-headed saints are quite delusive,
i guess that’s something you should know
there is no knowledge that’s exclusive
without a demon down below
caught in high level masturbation you need the perfect constellation
and you just drowned in multitudes of polaroid affection
and noone ever knows where you got lost between the lines
or if you ever could escape your own perception
or if you just gave up on admiration mines
and you can try to see the day
your contraceptive smile won’t be in the way
just feel the heat flashing into your face,
destroy the walls that keep you in this place

Mirror Mirror
03:25
|
|||
|
take a look at yourself from the back of your mirror
and believe what you see till you’re starting to shiver
step aside now and let your good twin carry on
watch your step down the stairs ‘cause he’s second to none
mirror mirror on the wall who’s the weirdest of us all
mirror mirror on the wall who will be the first to fall
force yourself to the thought who’s the best in your show
make yourself talk with a voice you don’t know
wait for your reflection to move with a grin
reminding you who’s the unwanted twin

Bitter Kiss
03:58
|
|||
|
you’re waiting for the cold to creep in fast
rush to your head and warmth will never last
a bitter kiss burning the insides of your mouth
white light, too bright, and every sound too loud
creep in fast, never last
a silent thought, a dream noone can feel
mind lost in you and it seems almost real
i hear your name, my inner voice a shout
a silent thought is craving to break out
remember while you amplify your rush
just how your presence used to make them blush
exciting boredom keeps you in this place
addictive liquid darkness of your days
lights fading out to blind me once again
words became old, what happened to the plan
last steps until i’m swallowed by the crowd
my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth
picture my name, fade to a whisper in the air,
all thoughts have vanished, why do i even care

Sweet Mess
03:39
|
|||
|
Withdrawal syndrome - worst I’ve ever seen
empty spaces on my skin where your hands have been
cracked lips lacking gentle touch of heated flesh
my heart is bleeding from the deepest gash
phantom pain in places where your teeth closed down
and a hole in my heart the size of this town
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess
You are a symptom I can't seem to survive
Like air and water I need you in my life
And when you're leaving, my feet don't touch the ground
I face the darkness when I turn around
Reach out for my solid world all I grasp is air
I need to touch you - need to feel you everywhere
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess
As lunacy’s breaking through waves of denial
I’ll better bring me and myself to this trial
Your temptation’s addictive but I’m taking the bait
Did you ever believe that your life’s ruled by fate?
And your sweet blurry picture it is bursting in flames
While you rush like sweet poison all through my veins
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess
Enjoying sweetness
of missing sweet mess

Cultures of Resistance
03:20
|
|||
|
do you still believe that you are what you take? you’re just pretending that you’re not a fake
wait for the day when everything falls into place
all the sunsets on your bookshelf couldn’t save you from disgrace
you know your cultures of resistance brought you far
but after all you’re still not quite where you are
burn down all your bridges, don’t look back, then walk away
turn your head and give away your riches when their values are starting to decay
truth or lie, black or white, do or die, depth or height, love or hate, yes or no
if you ever learn to separate, please let me know
the ticking of the clock is driving you insane
you feel you’re growing old, a needle hits a vein somewhere
you’re trying to catch a thought, but nothing’s making sense
sometimes a second’s just far too intense
keep chasing useless visions, drink yourself to painless sleep
realize that every day is wasted, you’ve got no memories to keep
the world’s just black and white, you know it doesn’t mean
that only shades of grey are waiting in between
you know it’s easier, at least a place to hide,
life is an ugly stone, but colorful inside

Walk Away Fade Away
03:32
|
|||
|
i can see a brick wall in your eyes,
i’m trying to internalize what’s in your mind
trying to reach you through the haze that is a different you
trying to rush through things that I could do
words are not enough, they just recoil from what you’ve built up as your defense
and i’m not making sense
you walk...walk away, you move...move away
you slip...slip away, you fade...fade away, i fade away...
who’s the one beneath your skin, the one to freeze me with a grin, what’s in your thoughts
trying to feel the inner base of your intention,
angling for your undivided attention
words are not enough, they just fall off of your sleek hide, i ask you to abide
listen to me before i fade away
