The Haunting Presence

Giles Corey, bloody, gory,
we will redress your wrongs
bloody, battered,
nothing matters,
somehow, just makes it worse
and I don't care if I live or die,
because I ain't ever going to no other side,
there ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell,
but I am a sinner so it's all just as well
there's a devil on my back
there's a devil on my legs,
there's a devil on my chest
there's a devil on my neck
and of a wicked physick came
all the heavy stones
to fall with crushing weight upon
all of those who can't become a ghost
I've been wailing like a child at the bottom of a well
I've been pacing like a man in a prison cell
I am buried above the ground
and noone knows anything
is this real

Blackest Bile
07:01
|
|
||
all around me
in the air hangs a wreath
of blackest bile, and smoke
that I can see
I open up my heart
and let it all in
and it kills all my love
and hope for everyone
and it hasn't been easy on you,
I know that more than most.
I am born to be alone,
I am just some lonely ghost
all around us
hangs an air of darkest doom,
and it flows out my lungs
and slowly fills the room
I open up my heart
and stick my fingers in,
but you will never want
what I have to give

Grave Filled With Books
04:01
|
|
||
I don't know what anything means.
I think I've forgotten how to sleep,
and I'm not the only one.
I will break my spine on the page,
like the books that will up my grave.
I am entombed in my bed
with those words that you said, that I kept :
that I'm not the only one
that you've never loved.
boo, hoo.

maybe I'm just feeling crushed.

I'm Going To Do It
06:16
|
|
||
there is no self to kill
a city of gardens
I'm going to kill my self
to kill my self
to kill my self
I'm going to kill my self
so there won't be nothing left
I'm going to remove myself
remove myself
remove myself
I'm going to remove myself
so there won't be nothing left
Because you are everyone you hate
when you're asleep or awake
all the choices you've made
you are everyone you hate
and it is ruining your life

Spectral Bride
07:10
|
|

Angles singing in a choir
oh, my lord, I am on fire
what am I to do
voices singing into space
read their verse in my lonely face
what am I to do
because I don't deserve you
not even for a moment
not even for a second will I ever be saved
my love's out to get me
and you know
you know
you know it's going to succeed
and I hope I survive this fucking week
alone
and if I don't survive
I'll still be by your side
just clad in ghostly white
I'll be your spectral bride
|

I'm armed to the teeth
like a fucking animal
I ruin everything
I get my bony hands on
and here we go, now
over the bridge of sighs
we will get a cross like christ, crucified
it's like a birth but it is in reverse
never gets better, always gets worse
I'll gnaw at anything
new england is mine, and
it owes me a living
step one
step two
step three
step four, we fall through the floor
fall through the floor
fall through the floor
I want to feel like I feel when I'm asleep

A Sleeping Heart
03:28
|
|
||
if I die
and I will
oh please, please bury me
in the ground by my school
where I once worked
if I'm killed
as I will
oh please, please raise a stone
and inscribe all of these here lonely words:
how do I wake your sleeping heart?

Buried Above Ground
06:28
|
|
||
there's a devil on my back
there's a devil on my legs
there's a devil on my chest
there's a devil on my neck
I've been wailing like a child
at the bottom of a well
I've been pacing like a man
in a prison cell
I get buried above the ground
