Illinois Into the abyss we go ...
Spinning in circles, looking up at the rain on this dark autumn night, it caresses the contours of my face, like you used to do, the memories ***** my brain like a thousand shards of ice, I was once a believer but all I have left is this torn up soul. Used up wishes and unlit cigarettes, staring at the bottom of a thousand coffee cups, empty like the promises we once carved on blocks of stone.

Dancing in the rain
Fucktrums and tantrums,   it's all the same,   nerve endings twitching, oscillating to the sound of your favourite medication is the doctor in the house ?   we cannot tell damaged goods sent to wrong addresses,   dancing with spectres in the shadows of dissolution my messiah will come, he will bring the black horses and they will take my soul.

Damaged goods
Navigation on rough waters It is not an easy feat Especially if you aren't a pilot And you've never been this deep. I thought I knew the currents And the channels to avoid But I'm stuck here in the crashing waves And I need help, I have no choice. So with gritted teeth and stubborn hands I take up my pen And write my message in a bottle To the beginning and the end. He has made the very seas Alone, I can't seem sail So why would I reject His compass Cause on my own I'll always fail.

Message In a Bottle
On crimson tides we ebb and flow no technicolor dreams to show the darkness falls at our behest as from our hands the senses wrest take the tincture to ease the pain release the heart from this dark refrain shadows revoke our light of day to incumbent solace we must sway

Crimson tides
You give yourself to someone, become entwined with their soul, then have to watch as they slowly melt away, like a thin layer of snow, in the winter sun, in desperation we try to grasp the vapor but it slips through our hands and drifts to the sky

Disintegration
You violate me with your delicious tenture, licking my soul with your words, making my skin tingle with the anticipation of your thoughts,   ******* me with your mind,   twisted obscurity in an ******** delight,   the cardinal remnants left trickling down my legs breathing obscenities in a heterophonic haze

Violator
Dig that finger right into the darkest recesses of your mind, push it, feel the pain, search through the darkness, watch it rain pull open that weeping wound push it touch the disease run for the shadows feel it ease

Push it
locked out, feeling the heart bleed, reaching inside trying to find what was on the outside, gaping chasms, its all too late. strangulation, trembling, blackness, feel it ease, too close to the edge, it was the only way

Locked out
Oh soul of mine to you I look like the well-thumbed pages of a favourite book yet you are nowhere to be found sought your solace on higher ground left me here so cold and forlorn drifting in the breeze on this winter’s morn caught in the tide as you ebb and flow oh restless soul why did you go ? think it vain that I wallow in pain as you catch a ride on the falling rain no quiet sanctuary for you to hide oh soul in me forever abide.

Restless soul
If we held an embrace under our favourite tree would the moon kiss our eyes and make them see, silver banners and sparkles in the mist all of the darkness is turning sunkissed, we'll dance our waltz under the crystal shards amongst the ruins of our house of cards twisting and twirling on the hands of time as the bells on the clock start to chime, peppermint tears over a turquoise sea, promise you the world under our favorite tree.
