Nervosa
(专辑: Everything Was Sound - 2016)
Look straight through me look at the
nightmare. Our past is but a
dream that we're trying to escape, trying to evade to erase ourselves. Look through me and see the
advent of our obsessions. Behold, your child, perfection a
rotting shell of atrophy Watching: Crowds like crows, we furiously flock to tragedy; observe the
hurt then hasten back to our peaceful, quiet nests of blasphemy Scapegoat: Rather die and know, drag your failing body in tow witnessing the
wake, conflagrate the
ready oil at the
stake Binging: The
culmination of purging what our lusts have borne. We hoarded all the
world to find we'd lost any semblance of ourselves. This dying dance I
am not my own reflection. I
am not myself, I
am not myself. No, I
am haunted by a
non-existent Lover: The
spectre, the
ghost, the
soul-starving host. I
am haunted by a
non-existent lover I
was gifted with the
vision, but cursed to be the
witness. I'll be pale to match the
walls and warped to trace the
beams; flushed to fit across the
floor so you can step right over me. Scouring this filthy slate these crooked bones they won't break straight cracked and splintered like our house, upended by that first summer squall Fading: so thin, you could snap me into the
shape you need gaunt enough to slide through that wedding dress. Then stitch me to a
fraying matrimony embalmed inside a
never-ending ceremony. I
am not my own reflection. I
am not myself, I
am not myself. No, I
am haunted by a
non-existent Lover: The
spectre, the
ghost, the
soul-starving host. I
am haunted by a
non-existent lover I
was gifted with the
vision but cursed to be the
witness Invisible to me… invisible to me… invisible to me
