lyrics:

The way she lost herself was beautiful

I watch her skate across reality

She brings the sheets around herself

She cries, she thinks that I’m somebody else

I bring her holy wine and pseudo snow

She hates it when I touch her riches

The earth revolves around the queen

She rages when I break at the seams

I slip into the lies of false redemption

I scream I cannot handle this contention

I want to run

For as long as my legs can carry me

I want to hide, bury my name

the hardest part of watching a replay is not that you were a part of it, but that you are now only detached from it physically.

it is still very real, as real as your hands,

as real as the dishwasher running in the other room,

as real as the person you love working at their desk,

as real as the rain beating down for weeks without rest,

as real as your blood pumping in your ears,

and as real as the scars it left you

yet when everything becomes a memory, you are only detached from the physical, as real as it seems.

we were always a duo

a perfect pair, a perfect crew

a team of siblings against the world

a love for me, like my love for you.

we ventured through the overgrowth

and helped each other when us both

had been so down and out on luck

with a love for me, and a love for you.

as we grew older our tastes had changed

our solo trips through life became strange

and although my half had shifted anew

you held love for me, and i for you.

i met your soulmate the other day

as you wed in the garden, in the month of may

and although our path had turned into two,

My memories are constantly failing

My energy has been derailing

My vision blurs from time to time

My brain is broken, but it’s mine

I wish sometimes I could be beheaded

Avoid the symptoms that I’ve dreaded

For years they’ve haunted my family line

My brain is broken, but it’s mine

When I’m 60 I’ll definitely keel over

Although I’ll be completely sober

I’ve accepted my expectancy just fine

Cause my brain is broken, but it’s still mine

Sometimes I wish my brain was normal

Maybe my speech would be more formal

But I've only one head, and I've seen the signs

Her skin like fresh gold

Her kiss like honey

Her scent, that of sugar and warmth

She tastes of everything I have ever needed

And the memories of my childhood

Oh, to be so enraptured

Within my love for her

My hunger for her is insatiable

And I know that I can’t stop it

This love, this moment of pure stillness

Is what I awake for,

And what I dream for

But suddenly she is taken away from me

I shake, I gasp, she is out of my reach

Gone from me forever

I cry in anguish for my sweet Madeleine

To bring justice to the one who took her-

He was blind.

It was the first thing I noticed, after his infectious laugh and smile.

He asks my name, what today’s standard was.

Suddenly music fills the air, and I know every word as if I was born to serve them.

He laughs that infectious laugh, gives me the warmest smile

His fingers move as if he was born to care for them.

It’s this moment I know I’ve met something greater than me,

A titan of pure machine.

Although I cannot see his eyes,

The masks stared from all walls and ceilings

Glistening like diamonds in snowfall

With the lavishness of the courtrooms of old.

God forbid I could afford the price,

But god forbid I could look away.

It was as if I fell under a spell,

One where I danced with pearls of earthen perfection

Ate pheasant in thyme, crow and wine

I could enchant the bourgeois with only my word,

I could hold rarities in my hand made in other worlds.

It was the hate that filled me after,
