Be Mine Tonite

Satan writes me letters
He asks about my mom and my dad
His prose, it reads much better
Than any holy letter I have ever had
Dip the pen in ink and sign
Be mine tonite
Satan writes me letters
He tells me where to meet tonight
He says I'll be unfettered
So there's no need to say my goodbyes
Dip the pen in blood and sign
Be mine tonite

Dreaming of You
04:01
|
|||
|
Don't wanna let you down
I hate to give you grief
The hardest things to say
The darkest parts of me
What would you think?
How could I tell you?
And what would I say?
I've been dreaming of you dead
Wrapped up and blooming red
It scares me most to death
But it still won't leave my head
Don't wanna let you down
I hate to give you grief
The hardest things to say
The darkest parts of me
The truth of all laid bare
What I am and how I'm scared
How I don't know what to do
My guilt, goddamn
What would you think?
How could I tell you?
And what would I say?
I've been dreaming of you dead
Cut up and blooming red
It scares me most to death
But it still won't leave my head
A life you'll never lead
And all because of me
But then I wake to find
You (safe there/sleeping) by my side

Three Dark Demons
02:32

Three dark demons
Gather at my grave
They sing songs of praise
For I never found my faith
The end came quickly
It took me by surprise
I was bound to my life
Then blinded by a light
In life I thought I'd be just fine
For I did not believe in overtime
Now my soul is lost to the one that I serve
My now and forever, Lord Lucifer
Three dark demons
Whipping me in turn
Say I gotta learn
Best teacher is a burn
The end aint coming
No this is all I've got
Misery and pain
And it's never gonna stop
In life I thought it was a joke
But Satan hears every time His name is spoke
Now my soul is lost to the one that I serve
My now and forever, Lord Lucifer
Three dark demons
Gather at my grave
They sing songs of praise
For I finally found my place

Helllove

Do you think I'm worth it?
Do you think I'm good enough for you?
Cuz I don't wanna curse this
But sabotage is what I do
And I won't kill myself for you
But that don't mean I can't be true
I'd walk with you right into Hell
Curse this life and cast away my shell
Have my eyes ripped out for eternity
So long as you were there with me
Everything's a secret (secret)
Our love blooms in the dark of night
If this could be forever (forever)
I'd never want to see the light
I know I had a life before
But that don't matter anymore
I'd walk with you right into Hell
Curse this life and cast away my shell
Have my eyes ripped out for eternity
So long as you were there with me

The Devil's Bastard
02:47
|
|||
|
I was born the Devil's bastard
Told my whole life "Have no master
We do as we please"
I made some friends with demons
Did some bad shit every weekend
I was only doing what my Father always taught me
The Lord God wrote me a letter
Asked if I'd like to feel better
And would I like a job
God sent me formal contracts
Said if I'd sign, He'd sign right back
And I forgot everything that my Father ever taught me
"Don't heed the Man at your door
Don't bring your gun to their war
And don't you ever forget
All good things come with debt."
I was born the Devil's bastard
Once was free, now serve a Master
Cuz I forgot everything that my Father ever taught me

Every Night Pt. 2
02:23
|
|||
|
Every night
Used to mean
The space of time when I'd sleep
Now it means
The space of time
In which she comes to me
Every night
Is any night
Til the night that you meet
Then every night
Spent wondering
What it means to really be complete
And what we mean when we say a human being
Every night
It felt so good at first
Now every night
It gets a little worse
My love, my love
She's got a wicked taste
I try to stop
But there's no other way
Cuz every night is every night for the rest of my life
And every night is every night til the night that I die
Every night
I bring someone new to meet
And every night
She's got something new to eat
Every night
Could it be
That this is all of life for me
She smiles sweet
Almost serene
Says "this won't end with your defeat
I'll follow you right down to Hell
I'll cut you up then sew you well
I'll rip your teeth out through your eyes
I'll never leave, there's no goodbye.
Cuz every night, is every day
And every day is all the time
And time's a construct of your mind
My love, my love. You're mine. You're mine.
Every night.

Oh My
02:16
|
|||
|
Seven nights and still no rest
I dwell in dark with bated breath
Shadows seem to call my name
Yet I must fight. I must remain
I am not alone
Heaven knows my home
God is my true light
The dark laughed in reply.
Oh my.
Love sits in the next room
While I'm summoning something unknown.
Darker hearts crave darker arts
Yet i am light, yes, I am good (right?)
I forgot two and a half days
Woke with a knife and this dark gaze
I wish I was someone stronger
But I can't fight this much longer
I am not alone
Now I know that I am someone's home
He sleeps behind my eyes and wakes at night
Eats his fill and rips apart my life
Oh my.

That Field Out There
03:38
|

|
There's something buried in that field out there
I feel every time I go near
Momma says that there's nothing to fear
But there's something in that field out there
There's something buried in that field out there
Papa's tried to grow it up for years
Now he says that it reaps only tears
Cuz there's something in that field out there
Brother came to us the other week
Said "we simply cannot accept defeat
There's a holy man that we should seek
And he'll save that field and save our family."
When the preacher looked upon the field
He said "the Lord was sure to make it yield
Yes, he'd pray here til dawn and then we'd see
That our God is a God of plenty."
When we found the preacher the next day
The crows had consumed most of his brains
Really there were hardly any remains
So there's something buried in that field out there
Yes, there's something buried in that field out there

Drain
04:21
|
|||
|
Don't feel good, I'm all bad
The best of me was just a dream I had
My whole life I've felt like
I could change a room with my joy or gloom
I'll take the perfect day
And I'll bring all the rain
I am a drain
My fake face. My ill grace
Make my lies a truth from which I can't escape
My whole life with no light
I'm a cloud, black hole, lost and empty soul
I'll take the perfect day
And set it all ablaze
I am a drain
Back and forth. I am the war.
I'm doing well, yet getting worse
Holy my hand, no! Hold me down
Just make it so I'm sure to drown
Or give me the chance
And I'll sink my teeth into you
Drain, rip, tear you right in two
Something's unglued
And all the shame remains
