Lyrics

When the dust has finally settled on the surface of the moon There will be no more heavy metal no more sleeping late with you I made a pentagram of daisies in the vacant lot next door I'm pretty sure I'm crazy and you don't love me anymore So you write down your confessions in a style all your own As I sit and battle my depression on a throne made out of bones The streets are filled with danger the rivers all run red I offered money to a stranger To shoot me in the head But everything you wanted me to be I'll never be I'll avoid those traps so cleverly I would rather walk into the sea in reverie Than hide inside a memory I'm half asleep and feeling reckless driving on the wrong side of the road You gather teeth to make a necklace while I count down to explode Your shelves are filled with skulls and potions and I'm a sacrificial lamb You swallow pills to dull emotions til you don't know who I am But your heart burns like Norwegian churches on the coldest winter night As you recite Satanic verses in the softly fading light So I bought a book of witchcraft to teach me how to raise the dead But my mood swings gave you whiplash so you got drunk and shaved your head But everything you wanted me to be I'll never be I'll avoid those traps so cleverly I would rather walk into the sea in reverie Than hide inside a memory
