I see you across the bar you're eyes are telling me you wanna dance my mind is saying: no, no, no but my hands are saying: yes, yes, yes so with blind inhibitions and a sway to seize the forever alone day into blind submissions and in between our legs we swim away hell yeah, we are all the bastard sons and daughters of your epic failures none of us are as lonely as all of us so give in and drink up running from father time into the arms of mother god it may take one shot or one too much but we'll get along (our hands clasped so tight) I've been jonesing for some time I needs my fix (knuckles clinched white) it may take more shots but we got the groove (as we dance into the night) the night is young and we're in heat it's time to get it on (with the devil in the pale moon light) forever and ever we dance drooling on each other and oh how it glistens and glistens so night hear me I'm coming for you oh and how we will glisten and glisten darkness I'm coming for you

loneliness or boredom? I don't know what compels me my key survival instinct to procreate or die more than that it's pleasure I need companionship a significant other to make me feel alive how will I find my blushing bride? I've got to cleanse this motherfucker eliminate undesirable types right click, left click, enter, delete these are my tools of mass genocide online dating because I'm afraid of the light Fuhrer Courtesan in binary disguise but I don't know what to say hello there, I am me I'm searching for missus me are you the missus me who I onto this site to see? oh fuck no, that band sucks you're not culture enough you have a squinty face plan nine from outer space? you say there's more to love you're fat, just be straight up where is my Eva Braun? the perfect specimen first the showers then the furnace perfection my way come but I don't know what to say

I hope your smug sense of self-importance keeps you warm alone at night so hateful and weak when you speak we're talking about academic philosophy sew up your academics into a self-serving blanket ego trips as a cardigan and may vanity cover your head as only the worst kind of pride can. you fucking douche so why are you going home alone tonight?

all my inspirations are dead or insane what is there to say everybodys running around in cycles with the moon captain the copies are copying the copies of copies of copies and as we progress we digress; a dog, a wolf, a butterfly, a worm remember the world when it was wonderous and new now a fading dream draped in haze into omit vaugely felt in a glance glimmering deja vu the hopeless know humiliation contaminate then self impersonation be careful of what you become: a junkie a desperate man a fallen star, a loon remember the words: "when I was young" This soul is mine assured in depravity dim and blond bright and devious This soul is mine now an old flag faded, tattered and torn, once glorious now abandon and abused so sweet, accessible, intimate and familiar my revered obtuse This soul is mine run to the shores of reason but we're coming up on the bridge and everyone's jumping off into jagged blue white

we hope the low lighting will hide the scars and the music will drown out our fables of a hero's quest to stagger lees and learned fools and tales of a land across the sea to lushes and whores of stale dreams and open sores, small talk to undercovers provide small comforts in the barren single serving friends and lovers one shot at a time desperate people, lost souls, emotional vampires daddy's little princess, where did he touch you? syncophants and leeches buttfucking you dignity but hey, we're all here to have a good time, right? we hope the morning light will bring a sense of rest but what is rest when life is just moments?

eyes light wide screams, all hail the passion king kneeling before our queen, bowing heads as she sings I will hug you with this gun and ravage you in its warm embrace I will love you with these fists and kiss you with these bullets into her firey eyes we sing to swoon in a cold embrace of our queen's despondency cheering her rejoicing melancholy bathing in fire, burning with desire together we writhe in ecstacy spewing forth my putrids every drop of your blood will know my passion why do I need you to feel why can't I breathe without you my passion, my love, my everything under a blood moon we sing once more your name into the sky, despair queen release me from your grace I cry or I smother you with this knife
