LYRICS – DELUSIONS

UNDONE

The wound is open. it’s starting to bleed. city of rust that never sleeps
The gates are open. the flood has begun. what you did won’t come undone
Scratch a lie, find a thief. blackout moves through every street
A web is woven, a lie is spun and what you did won’t come undone

Hung from a wire, neck has been strung. diamond can cut through devil’s tongue
There’s no way back now, this road has no end. what you did can’t comprehend
Another trick turned over. another fool scorned lover
It was all over, before it begun. what you did won’t come undone

All your lies have come unravelled. the naked truth is uncovered
What you did won’t come undone

THE DARKEST OF DARK

You know it’s hard to say, exactly what you do to me
The way you love me so, then cut me like an enemy
Am i dead or awake, alive or asleep?
I know the dream is real, when you’re coursing through my veins

White of the spark, the darkest of dark

You know it’s hard to see, decipher what you are to me
The form you’re taking hold, somehow keeps eluding me
The moment escapes, on the crest of a wave
I know the visions real, when you’re looming over me

White of the spark, the darkest of dark

You know it’s hard to sense, what draws me to your entity
The way you haunt my soul, keeps me searching endlessly
As i exit this place, drift into space
The delusions’ real, as i’m parting through the veil

White of the spark, the darkest of dark

SET MY MIND

I got it so bad. think i lost my head
Sold my own soul just feel it once again
And night after night you and i will collide
I’d stare into the sun till i go blind
It was a lightning storm into my eyes

You set my mind. set my mind on fire

I want it so bad, like a long lost friend
Take all i know and set it on fire again
You can’t turn back once you’ve crossed the broken line
I could tell you the truth but i’d have to lie
You’re my dark desire, thorn in my side

You set my mind. set my mind on fire

You’re a strangle hold with blood shot eyes
Dark desire, thorn in my side

Set my mind. set my mind on fire

TELL ME NOW

Every time I try to hold you, you break my arms and move away
Something’s wrong, I know it to be. Just what it is, I couldn’t say

Tell me now. Should I be in doubt?
Tell me now. Is there someone else?
Wrappin’ at your back door, crawlin’ thru your window, in the dead of night

Every time I try to kiss you, I get to feeling something’s wrong
You and I know it used to feel so good, but now it feels the thrill has gone

Tell me now. Should I be in doubt?
Tell me now. Is there someone else?
Wrappin’ at your back door, crawlin’ thru your window, in the dead of night

Oh my girl you can be so cruel. now i want you to

Tell me now. Is there someone else?
Wrappin’ at your back door, crawlin’ thru your window, in the dead of night

DON’T RUN

I draw you in to the ether alone and all the while I plan to cut your throat
A single bullet in a revolver gun. you’re spinning the cylinder around and around
I got my sights on you. I am the hangman, you’re in my noose

Fear is in you like a cancerous lung. And now you can’t scream poor little lamb
I saw a sign, I saw an omen. I saw you coming way down from the mountain
You know I’m on to you. you are the murder, I am the killing moon

Whatever you do, don’t run

I circle around you with a ravenous tongue. Talons hold you in the palm of my hand
I can almost taste you. I am the carnivore. you are the food

Whatever you do, don’t run

LOVE BOMB

I could see you from the avenue
Across the air a motor run
Redder than a tail light
Love is coming down

I could see you on the sunset
Like red blood poring down
I can feel a bead of cold sweat
Love is coming down

HEAVY HAND

Oh darling look. What have you done?
You awoke from a dream, with blood on your hands
Oh can’t you see? What have you become?
Nothing is what it seems. Your heavy hand coming down

I just can’t sleep, when you come around
You got malicious streak. When the lights go out
Dark was the night, cold was the ground
And when i start to dream, your heavy hand coming down

How Far Would You Go?

Got a little message tonight, carved into a bone
Got a one way ticket to ride, takes me where i’ve never gone

Two wrongs don’t make a right, un-turn every stone
If you got a little message tonight, how far would you go?

Got a little letter tonight, blood written on cloth
What’s under the surface will rise, my hearts’ a beating drum

Two wrongs don’t make a right, un-turn every stone
If you got a little letter tonight, how far would you go?

Heard a little secret tonight, whispered into a phone
Sure as the sun will rise, it’s what i’ve always known

Two wrongs don’t make a right, un-turn every stone
If you got a little letter tonight, how far would you go?

If all was said and done and the whole world had come undone
Would you reap the seeds they sowed? how far would you go?

ALIVE AND DIE

On the day I was born, I crawled my way out the swamp
Covered in black parasites, I made my way to the goddamn city lights
Screamed at the top of my lungs, to let you know I was coming baby
To let you know I’m alive. alive, alive and die

I wanna sink my teeth in, tear back the skin
A little taste of you I never felt so alive. alive, alive and die

If you’re the road kill baby then I am the fly
If I’m the cocaine honey then you are the high
I know what I want and you is what I need
The only damn thing that can cure my disease
I can smell your flesh and blood in the air tonight. . . tonight. . . tonight

I wanna sink my teeth in, tear back the skin. little taste of you
I never felt so alive. alive, alive and die

THE HIT

He shone the light along a midnight run, to look for what he found
Then took the chemical, the animal will feed again for now
Oh no, oh no. Feel the hit, it’s fading out

She pushed the needle in, to draw it in. to take her some place else
Until the cannibal, is skeletal and starts to eat itself
Oh no, oh no. Feel the hit, it’s fading out

My mind spins on a tether
Oh but from this height I can escape my fears and battles
Our love affair is almost over, until we met again
Again and again and again and again

CHAINS

My girl, I could never stray. These chains of love, won’t let me break
This heart of mine – oh can’t you see – is bound and tied, under your lock and key
I’ll do my time, never escape, from these chains

My girl, I’m forever yours. I’d be a fool to think, I could leave these walls
Hell below, heaven above and I’m in between, deep inside your heart
I’m in for life. No parole, no release from these chains

Darling I am, your prisoner of love. And these old chains, fit me like a glove
If you were to set me free, I’d break down and cry and die longingly

I’m yours for life. Please keep me safe in these chains
