Cry About It Anyway - The Great Masquerade

Image
  I know it takes two but only I'm left in Essex I had no control over how this doomed crusade ended I guess having half a heart wasn't for the open minded I turned the safety off, left the wound of a scar that never bled When a good soul pulls the trigger The bullet goes through quicker I'll never know the element of distance But I'd cry about it anyway All of my cold repulsions Magnetic interference Was my element of distance But I cried about it anyway They know I love my liquor  Nobody'll love me bitter This push and pull Poisons the lust I conjured They call this love, "disaster" I'll cry about it later I'll take all I wish I could say To the dungeons in my chateau A figure hugs me unprovoked in the shadow of a corner Says "You can unburden half the eyes on you if you undress faster" I can tell that the mystery had you surrounded You suffocated in the stampede of your assumptions When a good soul pulls the trigger The bullet goes thr...

Iron Blue - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Tell me why I lost my breath Only half way through the climb Champagne drunk, in my bed Celebrating half a lonely life I recall when the lanterns in my dreams Almost signed a death warrant for me Sailing through the iron blue galaxy Tell me what it takes for someone to want my company And I won't say that I'm better off alone Because I've never known myself to belong But I will say I've been answering to the tug That just wanting can actually be enough I was burning bright Alchemical starlight Falling for possibilities In the center of your chaos I recall when the ashes of a supernova Left me bereft of any kind of feeling Starstruck by the absence of a soul left grieving  Bruised iron blue by the matches of reason And you won't mean much A stranger that I've known too long I have to admit that I've dreamed up half of it But it all comes back to me All I ever wanted was for you to say Something that would would stop me From digging my own grave I recall whe...

Messiah - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Based On: Beauty and the Beast Your chateau towers into the violet sky like some villainous lair I hear the whispers of a fight that left your golden gates bare I call a debate to the freedom you said I would be from and have But your crooked lines always take me there I run through your winter kisses like it ignites my soul My infamy is a daring dance that leads me away from home I'm bathed in sequins in the foyer of your 40th floor Your skies turn you to moonstone I have the same nightmare every day of the week They throw me over the cliff and say my madness pushed me I hunt these fortunes down like some cold blooded fantasy He says the beast inside you has devoured me I had a feeling you'd never leave me but why couldn't you let go The wolves at my heels made sure you'd find me buried deep in the snow You take it upon you to justify why the dust settles around you slow I can't explain how these longings are thorns in your rose My misgivings said you had warmed ...

Charlie - The Great Masquerade

Image
  Based On:  The Black Dog by Taylor Swift  Charlie they've been calling out To you for sometime now You've been hiding in the stores To see if they would care at all Have you been playing hard to get? Is that what you want or just another death? You say " People stay and people leave Don't you say you know what's best for me" Your heart belongs to every ocean you have sailed To find a way from it all You say, "People stay and people leave  Don't you say you know what's best for me I'm quiet inside and I just wonder If it all was a waste of time I pushed my limits, let it rain Took this dimwit of a past I never reclaimed  But people stay and people leave Don't you say you know what's best for me" You cry in Shakespearean anecdotes Draw in the thought of an afterlife  That couldn't possibly disappoint you more Left bitter in the midst of nothing at all And just for the better split of a second You had the best one month of your...

Indigo - The Great Masquerade

Image
  I've only felt the absence of a debt Shower over me since the last time we met Trust me, if I was in your place I would've called checkmate, all the same I was hidden in the shadows of indigo Bleeding slowly into the maroon dusk It was the silent theft of my ego That unbuttoned the coat of holes I loved I was so deep into the overture I didn't want to look for anything else I signed a search warrant for my lost love It didn't matter, you could've been anyone else I was a pawn in a rusted game That was beginning to leave stains All over the white of my brand new life I couldn't afford to paint over again There I was, an emotional wreck Tracing the lines you drew that led me nowhere Sullied the pursuit by bringing another player Who'd rolled the dice enough to rig what's fair I dipped my amended will in the darkest ink Wrote your envy off as an absurdity Tripped over the wire and broke my shell But I would've done worse, if I was a man And you may ha...

The Witch in The Tower

Image
  I still remember the glow of the candle Dancing on the lines of your face like a lantern Early April, the flame left a blister You drink this pain like the blood of a rival Now we fight like brothers who would die for each other Let the echoes of our rage collide A true pulse cutter, don't you wage another War, when your words still cut like knives I can feel the indentations Of your cataclysmic lust, still Run from the roots of my spirit To the ends of my branching fingertips I swim against the rising tides Of these black sands of time You can drown all my sorrows With every antidote you can find We still fight like brothers who would die for each other Cliffside duels in the dark of the afterlife A true pulse cutter, don't you wage another War, when your words still cut like knives I can tell by the way the flames gather at your feet You are to be taken away into the stormy sea And through the gray I see a golden chance to bring you back to shore  Must you always try and t...
