Go Dark 01:45
I feel the urge I gotta get away from here From the dust And the bullshit that I'm hearing I'm too cold to be useful to anyone but myself It's time, time to go dark I'm a murder waiting to happen So I collude with the devil and his heart Don't wanna leave this world Without making my mark It's time to go dark It's time to go dark It's time to go dark

My Love 02:52
1. My love, she brings the rain And dust clouds of shame That make me remember The love I could not tender 2. My love, she brings the night And cold dreams of the fight That make me shiver Oh, the love I can't deliver 3. My love, she brings the pain The memories are just a stain I'm forever in her debt For the love that she regrets...

1. Happiness eludes me Been searchin' for hours In the time that it's been gone All my milk has soured When I find it, I'll kill it 2. Where's the solution? Been lookin' for days I am confusion, and It's lost in the haze When I find it, I'll kill it When I find it, I'll kill it 3. Reason escaped me Been missing for weeks Now I'm sleeping with enemies, and Hangin' out with the freaks When I find it, I'll kill it When I find it, I'll kill it When I find it, I'll kill it 4. Death is the end game Been that way for years Now it's right in front of me, and The haze finally clears I've found it, now I'll kill it I've found it, now I'll kill it I've found it, now I'll kill it I've found it, now I'll kill it...

1. Forgive me, Elise I know not what I do I'm tired and I need the truth Forgive me, Elise All I want is you But the blade cuts deep when you... refuse 2. Forgive me, Elise I am cursed with what I crave And the dissonance is deep in my heart Forgive me, Elise No one else will do And the light fades out when you... refuse Bridge. If forgiveness is not and option Then all of this means nothing If your preference is dark over light Then this means nothing.... nothing... Forgive me, Elise For I know not what I do I'm tired and I just need you...

1. Brutal and tender Only one is remembered Under the surface Of plastic and embers That burn so bold They endlessly crumble in my hands The Ashes are sticky and cold Chorus. Shock and surprise It's a long, lonely winter The echo of your lies Will always linger 2. Pride and shame You're playing the game The gaslight is stoked And it's calling my name Speaking in tongues That tirelessly twist in its mouth The words are both old and young Chorus. Shock and surprise It's a long, lonely winter The echo of your lies Will always linger Bridge. If you told the truth it would kill you If you told the truth it would kill you If you told the truth it would kill you Chorus. Shock and surprise It's a long, lonely winter The echo of your lies Will always linger

Snow Moon 03:22
Under a snow moon Before the freeze Scarlet thoughts bleed midnight deeds Bitter blue snow moon Staining the trees And I don't think I can fight this anymore Even the sun hides Like an enemy Scarlet thoughts Bleed midnight deeds The cold light of hind sight Holds a prophecy And I don't think I can fight this anymore And I don't think I can fight this Cut out and cauterise this Not enough I recognise left Under a snow moon Before the freeze Scarlet thoughts Bleed midnight deeds Bitter blue snow moon Won't hear my pleas And I don't think I can fight this anymore

1. Walk with me, Judith Down past the gates of hell Where the sailors smoke cigarettes And hypocrites poison the well Walk with me, Judith I'm falling under your spell 2. Lay with me, Judith Here on the feather and down We can grind until morning Then sleep until we drown Lay with me, Judith Our passion will know no bounds Bridge. In each other's dreams We will destroy the days Break the bed some more Then go our separate ways 3. Meet with me, Judith Wearing your blood stained coat Go down on me under the arches Then put your hands 'round my throat Meet with me, Judith And make my love explode 4. Die with me, Judith We're cursed by destiny Eternal lovers In death we will be free Die with me, Judith There's nowhere I'd rather be Die with me, Judith..
8.
I hope I die in the winter I hope you're there to bear witness I hope I still have a lover When the sky caves in I hope I go peacefully Without pain or sickness But leaving's never easy When the light can't get in
9.
1. Your heart is a deadweight And I'm tied to it alone It's bruised and it's battered But it feels like home Chorus. Thought we were a picture of happiness But we've broken the frame 2. Your soul is weightless And it floats through my pain It's hollow and empty It's cold and stained Chorus. Thought we were a picture of happiness But we've broken the frame Bridge. Make the incision Cut through my vision Just to save yourself Chorus. Thought we were a picture of happiness But we've broken the frame
10.
Nothing Love 03:59
1. A pox on both your houses Drink the poison down Neurotic repulsion Fills the silence with sound Chorus. 'Cause your love means nothing 2. Dying in slow motion Drink the potion down Obsessive compulsion Dictates that we drown Chorus. And your love means nothing
