Martyr#1

Lay down next to me

I’ll share a secret dream before the night dies

Deep under the sheets

As darkness fills the creeks I hear the wall sighs

Lock inside a scream

Tightens like a grip, and drowns the will to rise

Please let me be at peace

And let me be asleep before another sunrise

Lay down next to me (Lay down next to me)

I’ll share a secret dream before the night dies (I’ll share a secret dream )

Deep under the sheets (Deep under the sheets)

As darkness fills the creeks I hear the wall sighs (As darkness fills the creeks)

Lock inside a scream (Lock inside a scream)

Tightens like a grip, and drowns the will to rise (Tightens like a grip)

Please let me be at peace (Please let me be at peace)

And let me be asleep before another sunrise (And let me be asleep)

By day

I am inventing ghosts

Shape them with my manic pace

Shape them with my toes

Hot fat brain

Splatter across a cold hard wall

As sticky colours dully dry

I close my eyes and watch it die (Watch it die)

Big (Big)

Harsh (Harsh)

Sounds (Watch it die)

Shatters through a small (Small)

Soft (Soft)

Skull (Watch it die)

As broken pieces spill (Spill)

Through (Through)

Cries (Watch it die)

You walk away and watch (Watch)

Me (Me)

Die (Watch me die)

I find peace in terrible places

Striving along in punishing songs

And sing into the far beyond

Dadada dadada dadadadada

I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night

Thinking I heard someone cry

Dadada dadada dadadadada

I thought it was me that I myself was crying

Dadada dadada dadadadada

I felt my face and it was dry

Dadada dadada dadadadada

I understand perfectly what happened to me

Dadada dadada dadadadada

This dirty - crying - broken creature

Dadada dadada dadadadada

Was a monster of inconvenience

So I disappear into thin air

And I dissolve into the atmosphere

Let the pain-dullness blanket over your days

Thick, thick

We do not speak of it

You float across the boundless space

(Help me, help me, help me, help me)

A lead weight sinking quietly upwards

(Help me, help me, help me, help me)

An ocean bed is there to receive you

(I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning)

The ocean bed absorbs your weight

(I’m burning)

It settles, returns to a traceless calmness

(I’m sorry… Stop!)

It looks like hope and it feels like hope

(Please… I’m sorry!)

Look into the light

(Prepare your body, prepare your body, prepare your body, prepare your body)

Look into the light

(Demonically happy, demonically happy, demonically happy, demonically happy)
