It hurts to laugh; it feels like glass against the heart.
She hides her anguish behind a smile that brings tears to the sun,
Her laughter rings over the skies like a crescendo of despair: reaching out to be saved.

All sense of delight feels like a flicker in time;
Tears become an ocean of doubt.
Walking under the stars at night on black sand
Helps soothe the hurt.
Let it out and weep with the clouds that cry into the sea.

Her scars are hauntingly beautiful;
There's no cure for ailments of the soul.
Sorrow is the flower she keeps with her - always.
A somber reminder to treat her heart with care.
To never let love fill her
with regret and despair again.

Somber Delight

She's the flower that I adore;
The sun rises for her and heaven
bathes her with tears - basked in somber delight.
With a voice to bring the stars above to tears.
She is the flower that lulls me to sleep.

She's the flower that I adore;
the sun rises for her and heaven
bathes her with tears - basked in somber delight.
Her love is the maelstrom for which I plead.
It's the only sensation my soul needs: for which it screams.

She's the flower that I adore;
the sun rises for her and heaven
bathes her with tears - basked in somber delight.
With a voice to bring the stars above to tears.
She is the flower that lulls me to sleep.

She's the flower that I adore;
My heart is bleeding for more.
The sun rises for her and heaven
bathes her with tears - basked in somber delight.
To love is to hurt but oh it simply feels right.
She is the flower that illuminates the night.

She's the flower that I adore;
the sun rises for her and heaven
bathes her with tears - basked in somber delight.
With a voice to soothe all of my fears.
She is the flower that lulls me to sleep.

Her love's the only drug I need

Aphrodisiac in my veins screams her name;
Sweet princess of the dark,
Loneliness is the kingdom that we share.
Every touch is a wave of pleasure:
Elation found in carnal matrimony.

Aphrodisiac in my veins screams her name;
I can't sleep or eat without her in my mind,
Like lightning struck my heart and reanimated my body the moment I laid eyes on her beauty.
Her love feels like a thousand stars.

Aphrodisiac in my veins screams her name;
I've said goodbye to all my sorrows for now,
If only temporary I'll drown in her arms.
I fell deep and I'm only falling deeper into a dream
Soon these fleeting feelings will fade into memories but she'll always be the one I need.

Until the Sun Dies Out

I'll yearn for your lips until the stars in every Galaxy fade into dust; my heart will ache for yours until the ocean has turned into a mausoleum of sand, my love for you will wilt away: never.
This desire for you will endure a thousand millennia; until the light of the Sun drowns us in a sea of glee: leaving behind only our sorrows in a garden of woe left to wither like a flower wilts when kissed by winter’s cruel lips.

I'll miss you like the moon misses the stars;
Until the sun dies out my love for you will burn like a thousand lights under the kiss of dusk.
Our hearts will bathe in the waters of star-crossed lovers; meant to be drowned in the sea for eternity.
I'll think of you when I close my eyes and speak your name every time I wake, every breath I take
Is a moment shared from a million miles away.

Until the sun dies out my heart will beat for you;
Every star will burn out and to turn to ash before this feeling stops, your eyes are the only light I need in the endless void. Every second spent beside you has been true bliss; I will never stop feeding this fire that has engulfed our hearts in a storm of yearning for one another, until my very last breath I will love you.

Black Lights

You are a flower that blooms in the rain;
Your smile is the medicine to all my pain.
When I hold your hands my heart throbs,
A simple gaze from your hazel eyes
And all my thoughts fade into blind love.

Blacklight butterflies well up deep within;
Heartache and heartbreak lay in wait for
The moment when these feelings we share die
But I simply do not care, so c’mon baby and
Let's pretend this flame will last forever.

Don't be scared of the hurt: oh it feels so good,
Blacklight butterflies fly into the fires of a beautiful tragedy; let's keep on pretending this
Moment will be more than just temporary.
Nothing more than a bittersweet memory.

Let love die one last time.

She is my sacrament;
Sacrilegious bliss brought with every kiss.
All heartache withers in her arms,
My soul is set aflame
whenever she speaks my name.
Lost in the tantalizing gaze of her eyes.

All wounds of the heart and soul
have bled to a final drop;
My body aches for more and more
To be dragged through a garden
of thorns to see her again.

The shadows of loneliness die
Beneath the radiance of our delight;
She is my salvation in a sea of despair.
Love and lust entwine into one:
Vice and virtue join hands in an unholy matrimony.

She is my sacrament:
The light that flickers within the depths of my heart
Too long lost in a labyrinth of pain and suffering.
Alas I found my way into her arms;
My light in a maelstrom of misery,
She is the love I've prayed for all of my life.

Black Sparrow

Every breath feels like a knife to the chest;
Nobody listens: nobody cares,
Scars on the arms; scars over the heart.
False smiles go on for a thousand miles,
Everything hurts but I go on like a marionette,
Pandemonium reigns over me like a storm.

I can’t stand the white noise inside my head;
Like nails on a chalkboard,
I wanna vanish into the dark side of light.
I want to simply forget:
No more fake friends, no more playing pretend.
I’d like to fade into dust in the arms of a dying sun.

Stuck in a perpetual loop of hopelessness;
Kindness erodes into hate,
Distress eats away at my mind like an insatiable beast.
I want to close my eyes and let it all go;
I wanna break down and shout it all out,
Walls close in on me as I struggle to breathe
Someone reach out and pull me out of this horrible dream.
