VICTORIA’S SONG TEENAGER I do not hear your voice. Your words are slowly forming. I do not feel your touch. I woke up next to you a stranger every morning. I just keep asking myself, do I not want this? I just keep telling myself, but then I wonder why. You come to life and then you open up your eyes And you’re a teenager. You met a boy, you took some pills and drank too much And you’re a teenager. It’s problematic, it’s all so problematic, you’re a teenager. You’d tell yourself but you don’t ever think aloud ‘Cause you’re a teenager. I start to drown ‘neath her Victorian gowns, I swear she just lays back and thinks of England. So undeserved like her Victorian crown, She is embedded in the fate of England. Are you still in the void? And you’re giving up nothing to leave it all behind… And you’re giving up nothing to leave it all behind, Anna. Are you still in the void? Your hands are cold and you don’t ever sleep alone And you’re a teenager. Mascara running from your eyes and you don’t mind ‘Cause you’re a teenager. It’s problematic, oh don’t be so dramatic, You’re a teenager. But you will bury the lies And you’ll finally abandon them, a teenager. LEAVE THE PROPHETS DEAD WHERE THEY LIE You took your own world into your own mind, and by your own hand then you took your own life. You saw your own face, took your own bad advice, and by the motorway you stood on your own at night. You took your inner space, you took your own light, you dug your own grave, no way to get out alive. You felt your own pain, could not identify, and then a man he came speaking from another time. Leave the prophets dead where they lie, there’s no time to regain our thoughts. Judas, Judas, I can’t believe you thought I was a mortal, a mortal. You built your own shame, betrayed your own kind, reviled your own fame, abhorred your own sight. Destroyed your own name, stared at the antichrist. You saw out of phase, it happened overnight. You lost your own way, you didn’t realize you were your own plague surfacing from deep inside. And these are dark days, you lost your mortal right. It left you hanging in the field with no way left to fight. DARK ROMANTIC I’m trying to find the words to say the things that I would do to you. I haven’t even slept for days. My head is filled with bits of gloom. I can’t control the things I say, I can’t help what I’ve turned into. I feel like I have gone insane. Oh God, I’m not quite sure what I might do... Read the subtext in the words I say. Would you stalk me just like I do you? A hand upon the window pane. As you glance it’s disappeared from view. It feels like I’m just out of range. Undress you in your darkened room. I’ll be beside you when you wake. Oh God, I want to feel inside you girl. If they tear us apart, what would bring us together? When, together we’ll know failure. Your blue‐grey eyes are peering up towards the skies and I know they do not have a fate like ours. And I am there around you every day. I watch you in your vapid moods. I’m closer now than when I came towards you in a crowded room. And you don’t even know my name, but trust me girl that I know you. I know what lies inside your gaze. Oh God, it’s more than I could ever lose. SARAH SMITH I must have seen you ten times lately flirting with me unmistakably. Now you cannot seem to face me. Fingertips dab silent tears, your memories drown fragile years, and all the while you’re stranded here, right? I fear I’m wide‐awake in this conversation. Fuck me, Sarah. Fuck me, Sarah. I’m falling like a wave and my legs are shaking. Fuck me, Sarah. Fuck me, Sarah. You’re blurring all the sordid lines. I can’t even talk. I’m staring at your face, I want to get you off. I’ve come so far and on the way I’ve justified the thought. And though you’ll fuck me, Sarah, you’ll never break me, Sarah! I can’t describe these thoughts that I keep selfishly inside, for if I speak them out loud it would destroy these Moments that have kept us here as comatose sculptures for years, and I can feel you disappearing. I’m calling just to weaken the situation. Fuck me, Sarah. Fuck me, Sarah. I can’t control the form that my grief has taken. Fuck me, Sarah. Fuck me, Sarah. I’m tearing off your poor disguise. I can’t even talk. My body starts to shake. I can’t control my thoughts. I’ve gone too far with no restraint. I can’t survive the loss. And though you’ll fuck me, Sarah, you’ll never break me, Sarah! WE WILL BECOME ENEMIES SATELLITES I feel our disorder, the cracks in our mortar. I fail when you test me, don’t know what your threats mean. And fuck all your lame friends, they hate me, I don’t blame them. I wish I was no one, I’ve lost all control and She was a runaway, lost in an ancient time. She came from far away, a place of dark design. And when the satellites came, she lost her vacant mind. She saw her own life shown in overblown light. End it, Elisa! Oh Goddamn Elisa! They're returning. She was a hurricane; debris scattered through time. She cursed the path she made and set her past on fire. And when the satellites came, she lost her vacant mind. And she was unborn, hailing down with thunder. Kill it Elisa! Oh Goddamn Elisa! You're returning. I’m boring and I feel our disorder start to make an exit too real. I stare into the eyes of the girl, I find it makes an exit too real. This is not fucking love. This is not how it is supposed to be. Just stare in my vague eyes, they’re so dead. I realize it hurts when I do this, so fuck me I’m useless. I cannot control it, I feel like it’s hopeless. And is it an ending, I’m tired of pretending. I’ve burned it, I’ve done it, I don’t have to feel it… I see through your apogee Distant turning, nothing more you will not reach perigee Though you’ve wanted nothing more… And when the satellites came, she lost her vacant mind. She saw her own life shown in overblown light. Kicking infant; sore eyes; desolation; death. And when the satellites came, she lost her vacant mind. And she was unborn, hailing down with thunder Sinking further under, fading in its depths. And when the satellites came I found a reason To break this chain, no longer freezing. Only trace remains, burning up into a final phase And when the satellites came, all forces leaving, Nothing to maintain. No longer fleeting. But a certain drain, turning now into a dark decay. Kill it all, Elisa. End it all, Elisa. RX VICTIMS We’re rats in a maze sometimes I want more, but this is our emotion, we’re crippled by emotion. I turn into this thing and now I can’t ignore, that this is our emotion, we’re victims of emotion. Something’s coming in the waves, something from before. Oh yes it’s our emotion, we’re twisted by emotion. I can’t control the things that I can’t explore. It’s sick, it’s our emotion, we’re prisoners of emotion. I sit in the asylum on the seventh floor, and this is our emotion, we’re slaves to our emotion. And the doctor sits before me in the sadness ward, we talk about emotion, we’re blinded by emotion. I’m breathing in the sickness of sterile corridor, it’s like emotion, we’re fractured by emotion. I look into the mirror and my face distorts, but this is an emotion, we’re failures of emotion. I’m fixed in the head but now I want more. I miss this sick emotion, I’m lost without emotion. I’m walking in a daze like a living corpse. I need to feel emotion, I’m dead without emotion I’m itching in my skin, I just need something more. I guess I need emotion, We’re made to feel emotion I just assume I’ll find it in another form. I’m sick without emotion, we’re strangers to emotion. A BROKEN MIRROR Did you see my veins through the blood that’s running down my fingers? Did you see my face when you caught a glimpse of the darkened figure? Do you trust yourself, or do you put your faith in something bigger? Did you fade away when I turned around and told you it was gone? Did you see my veins through the blood that’s running down my fingers? Did you see my face when you caught a glimpse of the darkened figure? Do you trust yourself, or do you put your faith in something bigger? Did you see yourself run away? Do you see my face through the shape of a broken mirror? It’s not any clearer. Do you see my thoughts through a lens that’s become prismatic? It’s all so erratic. Do you see the shape of my face through a broken mirror? It’s not any clearer. Do you see my thoughts through a lens that’s become prismatic? It’s all so erratic. CASSIE AINSWORTH I dread your name, let your vile light go. I stayed awake till the dawn, is this my fate? I dread your name but I can’t let go. You let yourself grow insecure in my wake. I turn away but your violence grows. Internal pain is tyrant ghost in me. Return your gaze while you lie there stoned. Your body fades to return in front of me Too many nights we lied awake… Restrained and bored, It’s a morgue, it’s your manic hope. Something in my heart says Cassie, it’s over. Something in my heart says Cassie, I know. Something in my heart says Cassie, forget me. Something in my heart says now I know. I felt your pain, it’s your finite soul; a mirror wraith standing darkly in your place. Your thoughts remain but you can’t let go. You’re like a void in the dark expanse of space RICHEY EDWARDS TRACES I don’t need you, I’m lost in my own time. I’m feeling you, crossed in the phone line. I’m always alone; no one has ever had me. And as I stare from the bridge, maybe then you will understand me Absorbed in our fear, we could never start again. The glare of your blinding arm recoils in the mirror. I’ll pretend you’ve passed away to cast away a dying heart. Am I awake? I can’t sense the daylight. These memories fade, abandoned in plain sight. I’ll never let go of the past that has now become me. And in the absence of light, there is only the memory of me. Absorbed in our fear, we could never start again. The glare of your blinding arm recoils in the mirror. I’ll pretend you’ve passed away to cast away a dying heart. I’m torn by the fear that we’ll never start again. The glare of your selfish harm adorned me for years. Now I’ll mend the past I failed to cast away a dying heart. These Severn ghosts can sense us here, they’ve been calling out for years. Their voices echo on the breeze. I feel their darkness touching you, touching me… DREAD CITY Our name in lights, we stood that night staring at the circle. They screamed our names; the dread, the fame. If we don’t die the earth will. I jumped into a sea of youth, looking for the answer. You closed your eyes for the last time, another lifeless dancer. Burning in the silver sun, drowning in the acid sea. Floating in the hollow sky, calling up the devil in me. Acidia… What have you done to me? You called my name, the darkness came. I couldn’t hear you call. I was in a trance of circumstance. You slowly watched me fall. REGRESSION Try your best for your interest, but you’re never gonna break me. Either way you try and bring me down. What you do is up to you, but you’re never gonna break me. Either way you try and bring me down. When you bring me down… Try your best for your interest, but you’re never gonna break me. Either way you try and bring me down. What you do is all on you, but you’re never gonna break me. Either way you try and bring me down. When you bring me down… When you open up your eyes, you’re hoping for a miracle, Looking for the kind of thing you dreamt when you were just a girl. Open up and you will see you’re just an individual. Cannot stop the forces that are taking you centripetal. When you open up your eyes, you’re hoping for a miracle, Looking for the kind of thing you dreamt when you were just a girl. Open up and you will see you’re just an individual.
