Deranged
looking in a mirror have a figure that I could not
Maintain
drowning in a ocean while the cameras all burst into
Flames
breathing down the neck of a never ending constant
Decay leave my bones on string for a nice display
Running through a constant state of motion in a coma ridden conscious having battled with the demons building houses in the forests.
Tripping over building borders digging holes until we partially, without trying rot away
Oh god I think before the ending my thoughts sputter out I think I’m raining
I think I’m pouring
I think I’m dripping my lost drops into a page
Then sign my name then sign my name then sign my name then sign my name……
Sigh, say, my name

I know it’s great
I don’t need to see it
I can read the plot on Wikipedia
I know it's cute
We can curl up in the daytime
We don't need a scary excuse
But don’t you sorta like it?
Getting scared sometimes if
it’s a controlled environment
Like why was I so frightened?
And don’t you sorta need it?
Healthy hearts get beating
On my sleeve, get bleeding
Cuz I’ve been feeling so dry
I know it’s dumb
But I want you there
Cuz recently, excited feels like scared
Let’s get out
Cuz I don’t feel better knowing
The call is coming from inside the house
But don’t you sorta like it?
Getting scared sometimes if
it’s a controlled environment
Like why was I so frightened?
And don’t you sorta need it?
Healthy hearts get beating
On my sleeve, get bleeding
Cuz I’ve been feeling so dry

The staggered conversation was a lament for the evening
I kept whispering I kept whispering to the windowsill
Whispering to god " is she still here?"
Women, it's not a term she preferred
She loved satan, the way that he danced fire on his tongue
Wanting to please him, upon her knees she begged for him to watch
She split her jaw and swallowed me whole
Into her mystic mouth I did fall, and did I fall
Pleasure, the architecture of her body rose above me
Her head kept turning, it kept turning towards the corner
The corner where satan sat Laughing
Sanity, abandoned long ago returns to me
As her teeth, began to slowly dig into my skin
She watched me bleed, before she offered me to Satan
She split her jaw and swallowed me whole
Into her mystic mouth I did fall, and did I fall
She split her jaw and swallowed me whole
Into her mystic mouth I did fall, and did I fall

Entered by the beast
Let me touch their hairs
Let me feel their breast
Let me taste their air
Let me lick their mouth
Let me beneath
Where there was a hole
Now there is the beast
I want you to eat me
Be my home
Be with me
I want you to eat me
Be my home
Be with me
Sunrise, moonrise, red skies
Oh, cast a spell
I want to be
What you want from me
I’d sell my soul
To feel you inside me
I want you
To take a piece of me
Any piece of flesh
The soul from me
I want you to eat me
Be my home
Be with me
I want you to eat me
Be my home
Be with me
I saw your back
In the water
I saw your back
And then I knew
I saw your back
In the water
I saw the fears
Written on your face
I heard your words
Angry daughter
I felt the spittle
on my face
And the love it turned
Just like a clock hand
And the grave-dust fell
Right on to you
And your wax
Burned black from both ends
But true, a candle
Never burned for you
And the lonely night’s
Your one companion
Cause the fresh dug earth’s
A home to you
And the devil will never
Come to get ya
The devil won’t ever
Come for you
The devil will never
Come for you

On a dreary evening, clinging to my cloak
I was briskly walking down cemetery road
Toward the shadowy graveyard, glancing through the mist
I noticed something lurking just off in the distance
So I thought to myself, “I will not lose my nerve.
I will not be ambushed” and then I quickly swerved
Off the moonlit pathway, sneaking through some trees
I came upon the creature with my rapier unsheathed
Seeing is believing, but I still could not believe
The thing I saw before me, writhing in the fallen leaves
A body so misshapen, it brought tears to my eyes
It could almost pass for human, but then again not quite
a thousand moving fingers were covering this being
to get a closer look, I knelt down on one knee
suddenly, it faced me, and it began to speak
I’ve grown too many fingers, you have to help me, please!
You’ll have to cut them off
don’t you see?
You’ll have to cut them all
they’re killing me
you’ll have to cut them off
just do it, please
you have to cut them all
to set me free

the wind blows through
low rolling hills
whistling a tune
into a hollow
on a borrowed horse
on borrowed time
one by one, the stars
winked out their lights
is it over now?
is it over now?

They can’t feel this
Colors shifting
Fade out
Sign my footsteps
Walk through ladders
Fake out
They can’t feel this
Colors shifting
Fade out
Sign my footsteps
Walk through ladders
Fake out

Frankenstein
Kiss the bride
Stolen hearts and severed parts
Macabre delights
Lightning strikes
Coaxing the dead to rise
Frank’s got a big surprise
Missus mesmerized
Terrorize
Humankind
Michael basks in Jason’s mask
Strong silent types
Dead of night
Myers lets down his fly
Blue jumpsuit cast aside
Phantasmic facts of life
I am the creature in your black lagoon
Let’s make a double monster feature
Under the moon
Ride my cape or your broom?
Lay in your grave or my tomb?
Sweater weather, frightful nethers
Ghoulish love’s a grim endeavor
Scythe of the reaper and I taste your doom
Dark power witching hour with your
Pumpkins in bloom
All the zombies exhumed
They moan and I start to swoon
Freaky monsters mash together
Undead loving lasts forever
Moony sky
Bestialize
Wolfman tastes his husband’s face
Long howling night
Fossilized
Mummy’s been cursed to life
Osiris be my guide
I love you, time to die
A mess of claws and fangs
The hex our bodies sang
This coven dreams of lovers’ screams
A potion steeped with fright
I’ll drink you through the night
Come close, my dear, and have some fear

i roam the streets alone at night / and think about what you said / “there’s no home for you here” / is this real or am I dead?
now i wander aimlessly / and hide behind this tattered veil / i wait for judgement patiently / can I be saved or is this hell?
i can’t believe that it’s true / all those things that you said / you can’t be saved - i always knew / maybe i am really dead

and it aint too hard to see
that every day is halloween
every night's a trick or treat
when you're looking up at me
every time I get it right
when your costume's done up tight
you grab on & i'll rip it off
this hallow's moon is nearly up
on Halloween
trick or treat
and I guess I'll take some candy
this is like taking candy from a baby
yeah I know
a million other times
i'm waiting to impress
it may be hard to
see the look on your face
when I'm standing in your sight
there's a look I see in your eyes
like you're kind of terrified
i know where you'll go
i hate being hurt
but I like tricks and treats
but I hate being hurt
but I love being seen
i guess I'll come on back
another Halloween
another trick or treat
another Halloween

Your heart is beating like a clock that's wound too tight
But how can you be sure this time?
A fate you wish was death
Just try and save your dying breath
For a day
You'll sink into the ground
And muffle all the sound you'll make
Not even death could save your happiness today
Forever underground you'll lay
Regret will bury you
And suffocate your will to live
Will you live?
You'll sink into the ground
And muffle all the sound you'll make

Wake from your slumber.
Rise into the world you've grown to hate.
Living in darkness.
Your soul is wasting away in time.
Another day down and infinite to go.
Just withering away inside your hole.
You want death to take you every day you wake your eyes.
Life is worth living on your own time.
Slaving away for someone else is a crime.
You have to break yourself out of that hell.
Wake from the darkness.
Rise into the world with new eyes.
Find your calling.
Breath new life into all you know.
Another day down and infinite to go.
Just withering away inside your hole.
You want death to take you every day you wake your eyes.
Life is worth living on your own time.
Slaving away for someone else is a crime.
You have to break yourself out of that hell.

And the limbs up above us
Red orange sea
The first wet sprinkle
Chill of the breeze
Thin veil of autumn
The warmth of the trees
Music of the buried
Whispers on the leaves
White ghosts in the graveyard
Bones underneath
The night’s for searching
A hex for me
A feather and lantern
A curse for a life
A ritual followed
A devil to spite
____________________
Follow me down, lover
Follow me down
Fo fo fo

And they live
‘til they die
And it’s good
‘til it’s bad
And they see, ‘til they don’t
And it’s gone now
And you can’t find
What you had
And the dark
And the trees
And the chill
And the leaves
And the fear, and the hope
And it’s gone now
And you’ll never find
Who to love
