Black Light Burns Album

Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps
You fucking give me the creeps
I've never known another city to burn

Face down in the bottom of a river
Swimming with the dead makes me want to shiver
If you really wanna know, I'd rather just drown alone

Clay fingers reaching for the ceiling
Once numb, now tingling with feeling
You'll see in the end that nothing really gets away

And I'd give it all just to be with you

Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps
You fucking give me the creeps
I've never known another city to burn

You took back the mud from which you're made
And threw it at me like a fucking grenade
You keep cutting my throat, then you ask me if I'm feelin ok

This city is just like any other
They keep blowing it up, then building up another
If you look in the hole, you'll see it ain't going away

And I'd give it all away just to be with you

Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia
You fucking give me the creeps
You fucking give me the creeps
I've never known another city to burn
City to burn

If you could burn it out,
like a tick buried in your hide,
if you could tear it out,
like a thorn stuck in your side,
then you can bet that i don't wanna look at what you find,
cause i'm afraid that i,
i wanna keep that for myself,
i thought that i, that i was above you,
i hate that i love you,
and i thought i, that i was above you,
i hate that i love you

I'm living a lie
and it's not the best thing for me
but anyone and everyone is gonna hear another story
I'm building a house
of murderous intention
to keep it all from coming down
I've gotta focus my attention
'cause confidence is key
when violating trust
I'm making sure that I believe
I'm doing what I must
which is attempting to kill
the little boy inside
but as hard as I try...
the child will not die.

Now I'm burning alive, just like you

I'm irrelevant
and I'm living down in the shit
I follow these pigs around
but I never get used to it
'cause they keep building and building
their feculent franchise
I wish I could see this filth
through someone else's eyes
'cause ignorance was bliss
but now I must adjust
these animals, they operate
on jealousy and lust
I'm taking back what was lost
and I will not be denied
I'm crawling my way to the surface outside

Now I'm burning alive, just like you

You may find
That my appetite gets it's way
It keeps growing and growing
Before you know it
I'm a beast swallowing prey
And it is clear
It is clear
It's as clear as a fucking bell
The more I wear off on you,
The more I seem to wear your smell

C'mon

Get away and save yourself
Turn away and don't look back
Get away and save yourself
Grey skies are turning black

'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you

You will see
That there's a blood clot in my heart
I'm trying to make time to push it out
But I can't quite seem to start
And it is sore
It is sore
It's so sore that it hurts to feed
You keep taking little pieces of me,
I'm going to show you how to bleed

C'mon

Get away and save yourself
Turn away and don't look back
Get away and save yourself
Grey skies are turning black

'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you

I think I'll keep you
In a place where I can see you
But I know I'll break you like before
And I just can't do this anymore

'cause I will always
Hurt everyone I love
If I were you,
I'd run away 'cause it's true
That I will always
Hurt everyone I love
I'm aching for you
But you're bound to bleed if I adore you

I'm aching for you

(feat. Carina Round)

If I could paint your picture,
I'd paint you as the sea,
I'd let your arms become the tide,
if I could fall into you,
i'd let you swallow me,
so AI could see from inside,
it's a cruel melody,
that you see when i'm awake,
trying to find where the sun shines in a land thats turning grey,
and it's a cruel memory to look back on where we where,
cause my past is a poison and i'll never find the cure

I have a mark on me,
like a brand on my skin,
that only I can see.
I don't know what it means,
I get caught up in dreams,
I feel like running away,
yeah so lets run away,
sometimes your gonna have to get lost if your ever gonna find your way back to where you came from,
and if we go there they'll just want us to bleed,
yeah but it's never enough, it's never enough, it's never enough,
so cut up the heart,
and watch the world burn down,
let's tear it apart,
let's leave a mark, let's leave a mark

(feat. Sam Rivers)

Your to far, Far come to be mine, wherever i go your never on time,
it's to dark to black to be a star,
wherever you are,
we've slept slept here for to long,
we see, see what we did wrong,
i'll never let it paralyze me again
i want to bleed,
like it's over,
this dark fever is unstoppable,
this burning chill is unstoppable,
this blackest wish has taken hold,
i'm sorry it cannot be controlled,
this dark fever is unstoppable,
this burning chill is unstoppable,
this blackest wish has taken hold,
i'm sorry it cannot be controlled

Go for the jugular, cut the vein
And kiss it away, kiss it away, kiss it away
Everything that brings me pain

It's not as hard to bend in the end
So let's do it again, do it again, do it again
And this feels so new...

These 4 walls are blistering
I watch the paint peel
But I cannot wake from this dream
'cause this is not love
This is not clean
I'll keep digging down deeper in you
Until I find what makes you scream

I get a little aroused as it dies:
That look in your eyes, look in your eyes,
Look in your eyes
As I begin to get under your skin

And now I know why I do
Take it out on you, take it on you
'cause you always take it on the chin
That's what you get for letting me in

These 4 walls are blistering
I watch the paint peel
But I cannot wake from this dream
'cause this is not love
This is not clean
I'll keep digging down deeper in you
Until I find what makes you scream

I’ve got something to say
I’ve acquired a taste for watching you in pain
It’s pretty hard to admit
It makes me feel like shit
But I mean it
And I know that I am wrong
The weaker you get the more I fell strong
So I want you to leave
Wipe your face on your sleeve
And beat it.
This doesn’t end with you
I walk around and I think of people other than you
That I wish they were cursed
That I wish them the worst
I really wish them the worst
But I’m doing my best
And I hope you forgive me now that I’ve confessed
Cause I’m tryin to resist
My heart becomin a fist
Forever
Because you can’t you can’t you can’t stop a bullet
I’m givin you my trigger but you better never pull it
You can’t you can’t you can’t stop a bullet
I’m givin you my trigger but you better never pull it
You’ve got something to say
You’ve acquired a taste for watching me in pain
It’s pretty hard to admit
It makes you feel like shit
But you mean it
What the hell can we do
I’m a different face
Of the man you knew
I’m a hole you’ll fill for the rest of your life
Because you can’t you can’t you can’t stop a bullet
I’m givin you my trigger but you better never pull it

You can’t you can’t you can’t stop a bullet
I’m givin you my trigger but you better never pull it

Sucker myself into believing that I'm doing the right thing
I think of your face and I pretend that I'm not alone
I'm lining up all the love and the trust and the good things,
But there's a hole in my heart where I once kept a piece of home

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say:
Let me go
This isn't what I wanted. I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed. I can't exist here anymore

I've been thinking about my money and how I gave it all away
I've been thinking about the people and how I should have never let them stay
I've been thinking about how I always have to write just one more song
Well you know me, and that I'll never change
But I meant it well all along, and I was wrong

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say:
Let me go
This isn't what I wanted. I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed. I can't exist here anymore

Replace the silence with deafening sound
Send away the people, I want no one around
This is my greatest mistake
And I will not be denied
I'm crawling my way to the surface outside

What if one of yours turned a color
You didn't mean for it to be
And what if one of yours became another
Would you hear it say:
Let me go
This isn't what I wanted. I can't be here anymore
Let me go
This isn't what I needed. I can't exist here anymore

Pulling on your lazy arms
Get up out of bed
There's vanity
In the holes from which we bled
Your armies have come and gone
Silence on the battleground
This insurgence was just enough to see them drowned

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

Take me to your mountain
Tear down the waterfall
It's comming near
Listen you can hear it call
So put a coin inside your mouth
And wade out to your knees
You crumble down
And give yourself to the sea

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

It's all I see, It's all I see.

Please take it away.
It's holding me, it's holding me.
Please take it away.
It's more than me, it's more than me.
Please take it away.
It's killing me, it's killing me.
Please take it away.

I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.

It's under me, it's under me.
Please take it away.
It's watching me, it's watching me.
Please take it away.
It's touching me, it's touching me.
Please take it away.
It's just like me, it's just like me.
Please take it away.

I run, it follows
I speak, it swallows
I am where it takes me.
I love, it breaks me.

I've seen good people bleed...
And I thought I'd seen it all...
But my own two eyes would prove me wrong that day.

There are things that I've done...
Only seen by the sun...
And those things will be buried in my grave.
