writing my days away

Pandora’s Cliche

Let me lick my wounds in piece

And pretend they aren’t there

I don’t know if I want you to forget

Or to share my despair

Picking up the pieces

Of a failure I can’t blame

No fingers to point

Nobody to shame

Well if it’s nobody’s fault

Then I guess I’m okay

I guess I’m okay

I guess I’m okay

Nothing matters anyway

If it’s nobody’s fault

Then I guess I’m okay

Haven’t you heard

Pandora said she knows a four letter word

Prophets Profit

My birthright was a blindfold

The only warmth on skin so cold

There’s burns along my eyes

It always hurts to cry

Where do you go

When you can’t even read the map

All you know is

You can’t go back

Through my third eye

I looked at all that was unknown

Surrounded by people

I was so alone

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

Can’t even start

I used to be good

What happened to my words

I’d like to go on

Melodramatic

I always go on

Can’t beat my heart

I used to be so good

What happened to my hurt

And I go on

And I go on

And I go on

And I go on

But I used to fly

(I didn’t know it was falling at the time)

And I go on

But I used to fly

(I used to cry)

I have my blood

And it’s still crying to be heard

But I don’t have the words

I don’t have the hurt

This void

An empty train station

Waiting for the next one

Waiting to fall again

Fall through the ground

Dead again

Waiting to be dead again

Waiting to be dead again

Waiting to be dead again

Let me fall through

What will I pay?

I’ll be dead again

My love, my darling

Dry your tears

Dry them on the flames below

The flames you set

The flames you know

My love, my darling

With caresses I'll lead you

Though it's iron you want

Go to your unyielding soul

I'll be your eternal haunt

My love, my darling

Fly for years

Fly where I can never go

The game is set

I burn below

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

I've never understood how the gods could live off of sacrifices

But then I see how your love doesn't falter

Lay down on my altar

Feel immortal, once again

Feel immoral once again

Feel again

Feel again

Don't you want to feel again?

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

I make the music sound divine

I know you know I know you're mine

Come, be mine, some of the time

Cum, be mine, some of the time

My pretty victim valentine

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

Sleeping dragons should be left alone

What happens when the thief gets bored

Will she wake?

What can I take?

Lay down my chainmail and my sword

Sleeping beauty with shining scales

Claws still dripping in gore

Quiet breaths

Quiet steps

I approach the golden hoard

I slip between her wings

Gold means no more

I'll never part

With my dragons heart

I wake to the sound of her roar

How dare you invade my cave

Why do you sleep by my throat

Sadistic cruelty

Run your sword through me

Return home to gloat

There is no home for a wretched thief

Who has fallen in love with a dragon

Take me as your own

I give you my bones

To the end, no matter what happens

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

You say

Without saying a word

You're bitter

Are you bitter like black coffee

In desperate need of sugar

Bitter like ash

Waiting for a spark that left you, used

Or are you just bittersweet?

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

A question always needs an answer

Like a bridge needs something dangerous

Tumultuous troll

To save you from

What have I done?

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

Too bright

You were too bright for me

Teeth as white

As baking soda

Or bleach

Your righteousness even brighter

Then the midday sun

You left me behind

But I still went blind

There are times when I wish

I never knew you

There are times when I try

To forget it all

Radiant, too much, sweet thing

I turn, and the darkness falls

Too right

You were too right for me

I need to fight

To break

I need to bleed

My sins show the world

That you have none

I left you behind

But I still went blind

There are times when I wish

I never knew you

There are times when I try

To forget it all

Radiant, too much, baby

I turn, and the darkness falls

You call me up again

At the most God damned perfect time

Handcuffed to an angel

Accept my fate and sign

Then I make a new mistake

Chase it down with another

Sunshine eyes fill up with tears

I can never be your lover

There are times when I wish

I never knew you

There are times when I try

To forget it all

Radiant, too much for me

I turn, and the darkness falls.

I'm feeling like Icarus today...

When Icarus fell, it was honest

I feel as though I'm about to fall, honestly.

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

They say time stands still

When you look into your lovers eyes

Lies

Live in antiquity

Anachronistic lovers

Dust off the sands of time

After one embrace

Now out of touch with the human race

Copper turns green

Ivy claims a house

You're telling me you love me

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

The problem that arises when someone always has your back

Is that you can't turn around

Without coming face to face with your someone

And now we have two spines

Ready for the knife

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

I want to be selfish

I want to be pure

I look in your eyes

I only want more

I...want...everything

Morning

Evening

Everything

You want to be selfish

You've got to be sure

Just fall in my eyes

I'll give you more

I'll give...you...everything

Waking

Sleeping

Everything

Take one breath

But take no more

Don't dare linger by my door

There's no red light

For the virgin whore

Everything

Moaning

Weeping

Everything

Hearts

Beating

Everything

Gimme

Gimme

Everything

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

Love

Blood

Feel it rushing through my ears

See it, those beautiful tears

You wish you deserve me

But you'll just have to wait

Powdered ashes lift in the wind

I know every one of your sins

Try your best to win me over

Try your best and lose

You can stay with me

Second best

I grant the right to choose

Your marrow melts

Rolls down my chin

You will regret letting me in

Here we stand against the antagonist

Is it you or is it me

Untie your hands

Unlock your chains

You have always always been free

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

Dawn breaks, fresh and sweet

Picture incomplete

Without sharing a coffee with you

Lavender brew

They say a lavender love's

For hiding another

I regret to say it's true

I'm falling deeper into you

And on these perfect mornings

Unseen lilac skies

Im too distracted

By your coffee colored eyes

☆undertake-R-evy

[undertake-r-evy]

As I gnaw my fingers

The metallic taste of blood

Calms my racing heart

It tastes like you

☆undertake-R-evy
