Dead Lines

(album: Bites - 1985)

Tarnished away...
Tarnished...

Simple test, at best
Eyes, nothing less
Run for more
I can't decide

Love, in the grass
All is nothing less
Rather, you look me in the eye

Doe-faced, creeping in
Your caring thankless grin
Immobilize the selling sin
Create the mood that's dark and grim

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Diotic
Mirrors your skin
I've known so long
Feels like the next of kin

Aortic, heart optic part
Deadline
Deadline remark

Jaded whip
Rosehip
A shallow kiss
Chauvinistic
Go look inside

Whilst in the back
A gold to lead
To resurrect
What's left to die

To resurrect, to resurrect
To resurrect, what's left to die

Aortic, high optic part
Mood altered, paradise lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Aortic
Matches my grey skin
Known so long
Feels like the next of kin

Aortic, heart arctic part
Dead remains
Deadlines remark

Jaded pain
Breathes faint
Tarnish and elevate
Wipe the slate
Kiss goodbye

Overuse
Blank card rendezvous
Understand, bells mourn the tired

Punch through, and never wade away
Punch through... Punch in...

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, your paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left dark
Hide the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Aortic
Matches my grey skin
Known so long
Feels like next of kin

Aortic, heart optic part
Hides the trap, caution
Deadline
Deadline remark

Simple test, at best
Optic, nothing less
Run for more
I can't decide

Love, in the grass
All is nothing less
Rather, you look me in the eye

Your face, creeping in
Your curling thankless grin
Immobilize the selling sin
Create the mood of dark and grim

Aortic, high arctic part
Mood altered, paradise is lost
Maskover, no one left in dark
Past the trap
Caution
Deadline remark

Heart altered
I match your skin
Known so long
You're my next of kin

Departed
Your skin is soft as sin
Dessert
When I cut, I cut my...

Match my skin...
Match my skin...
