you have a fetish for taking my dignity
its a disease that cant be cured
and automatically with violent sodomy
the androids moving for me on the screen
but I dont want to be a single thing like you
no i dont want to be a product to consume
remodeled and repackaged
and discarded by the curb
obsolescence everlasting
its the last of its kind
arent I? arent I? arent I?
So thats it
its humiliating
forced to avert my gaze when you're looking at me
cause I'm so lonely
I try to hide it but
is there a proper way to fill a void
I have the image of you deified
worship the idol
desecrate it and defile you
i try my hardest try my best to not look away

no one can buy
the topaz that shatters diamonds
but i decide to gouge them from your eyes
the quicker that you give up
the faster we can relax
when given a chance of lying you flat
on your back
you can handle separation
theres just one condition
introduce you to my friends, introduce you to my parents
till we meet again
all the boredom that comes from
lack of inspiration
and you take me to bed to keep me entertaining
I cant wait to give it all to you
One day you will fall apart and die
One day you will see this from my side
thats right
pipe dreams have now led me astray
I can not afford to waste away
anymore any time any place I can
see you again
be the own voice of your fear
afraid to raise your voice again

all along you were the one
now its time to say goodbye
my intention has my soul degraded
in this delicate balance of passion and temperance
want to see me in real life?
making me realize
things we learn from being apart
but then I think
long ago
words were invented from the sounds in my heart
then you said to me:
No ones ever gonna save you from the target on your back
No ones ever gonna rescue you from the inevitable attack
No ones every gonna see you for the vermin that you are
Nothings ever gonna free you from the agony of my love
finally reincarnated from poetry written by lovers in antiquity
are making me realize things we learn from being apart
but then I think
Long ago
words were invented from the sounds in my heart
then you said to me:
No ones ever gonna save you from the target on your back
No ones ever gonna rescue you from the inevitable attack
No ones every gonna see you for the vermin that you are
Nothings ever gonna free you from the agony of my love

We trade a coin in exchange for your belief
In the power of a dirty old fountain
and your eyes went wide shone brightly
golden like the sunrise
I offered you my body
I tapped your soul like a vampire
on my way to your unconscious state
and If i ever found the words to tell you I
I will never sympathize
taking every change to
sabotage my will to survive

I wanna be your man
I dont understand
and father your sons
and show everyone that
I give to you even though you did not ask and cant relax
in a slow slow process of suffocating
happiness:
we try to live with principles
that never make sense
I couldnt live with
If I thought I was praying to nothing!
i would hate to feel so goddamn ordinary
someone else has written these lines
well I never pay attention
I never try to listen to what I'm talking about
but i'll be your man, I want to be ur man

After all the cranes have flown away
in the grave, who will keep me warm at night?
feel the maggots crawl behind my eyes
swarming hive deep inside
slowly writhe in agony
do I remind you of how much you hate yourself?
humiliated in front of a dinner guest
I cut you open so I can insert myself
in front of the audience
well should we pretend
its better to find out now how you felt back then?
you dont want anyone to know
you even hide it from yourself
that im evoking a carnal sensation in you
you dont want anyone to know
you even hide it from yourself
that im evoking a longing sensation in you
long ago a phantom has approached me
I heard his proposition to trade me for your soul
when his hand caressed me
my whole body was emptied
with nothing more to offer
I put him on his way
well should we pretend
its better to find out now how you felt back then?
you dont want anyone to know
you even hide it from yourself
that im evoking a carnal sensation in you
you dont want anyone to know
you even hide it from yourself
that im evoking a longing sensation in you

When you died in last October
I was the one who would testify
Passing onto a greater power
youre the one who will end the earth
and even when you crack the whip at me
Im always on your side
I never wanted to become your enemy
after all this time
after all this time
injecting my disease
in the parking lot
lying on the ground
behind the dining hall
You can not undo experiences
You can not undo ecperiences
You can not take back your biggest regret
injecting my disease
in the parking lot
lying on the ground
behind the dining hall
oh the pain
maybe you dont recall me my old friend
leading palms into your legs and
shoving into a bathroom stall in the seminary
for gods and angels to see
inhaling blood from your nostril
is there still a place in your heart for me?
drinking in tears from your nostril
is there still a place in your heart for me?
