The Silicone Veil

(Album: The Silicone Veil - 2012)

I'm a larva wrapped in silk
I am dying in burning flesh

Let me out, let me ache
Let me out, let me ache and itch

Get me out of this suit
I go to a funeral every day
I follow these people around
I follow these people like a rat's tail
I carry their caskets, I sing them good night
They're better off without me

Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding...

Oh, let me in, let me out
Let me in, let me out!

This is a retirement
From plumbing the veins of rats and kings
Let the stars be my eyes then
Unchain the knuckles and latches
Unbutton my wrists.

My skin so thin you can see black holes within;
My eyes so clear they light up the sky...
And sometimes I'll bend into the silicone veil
And enter this world again as a ghost

Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding...

Oh, let me in, let me out
Let me in, let me out!

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
