|
Bittersweet turn of affairs
Turns my eyes crimson with despair.
How your love harrows me.
Bittersweet pain in disguise
Taunts my heart with every kiss goodbye.
How your love makes me blue,
as I hang upside down in hopes that you leave me,
lonesome in misery, bitter and sweet for you.

Dark Violet Dream
06:48
|
|||
|
Nightmares always greet me
with a heart torn in two.
I realise it's me, yearning for you.
Never to awaken from this dark violet dream,
for I'm all tangled up in a world where your love
tortures me.
Never to awaken from this dark violet dream,
for I'm all tangled up in a world where your love
tortures me to a cinder;
Dark as night, without a moon to linger.
When the rain falls upon me,
I am drenched in all my melancholy.

The Dog Has Thorns
05:53
|
|||
|
The smile on my face,
is as cold as the ground,
for the dog in my mind,
is as dark as the night will allow.
I'm drowning all the time,
Wrapped underneath a twisted vine.
Thorns pull at my paper skin,
forcing thoughts within to my troubled mind,
that I can't seem to leave behind.

5. |
||||
|
Of all the times you tried,
to poison my mind green with Ivy,
I ran through clover fields,
so you wouldn't see me cry.
Jewelweed was the cure;
A solvable fix for the blindness
you poured on all the leaves
that you gave to me with a smile;
so beguiling to me.
To Jewelweed, I'm immune,
for you turned my heart into Ivy.

My Lover
03:29
|
|||
|
In the evening,
my lover holds me closely,
and tells me that he loves me;
that he's the one they envy,
for my kisses belong to him only.
Although lately,
my lover leaves me sleeping
alone with my own weeping;
a melancholy being;
a sad and hopeless fool in greeting.
At first I couldn't see,
why he left me be;
Couldn't figure what went wrong.
For every time I tried to find him,
all traces that he left, were gone.
As it turns out,
my lover was a figment
of my imagination;
a clinical sensation;
a magical hallucination.

Yorke Light
05:59
|
|||
|
Yorke Light is the one,
he will pull heart strings with a thumb.
Love cannot compare, to the elastic affair
of his world.
Yorke Light bares a flame,
he will burn expectation's game.
Bound up in a spell, from the illusion
I fell into his arms.
I fell over his charms;
Burnt from the light,
left with a scar;
Yorke Light, you are.
