The Tea Party Album

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shacking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

We exist in a world where the fear of
Iillusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse
The ideal
Once inside, we can conceive and believe in a god
we can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation

Bring on the absolute
A walk on the water
Can lead you to slaughter

No one will feel you
No one will hear you

Bring on the brave new world
Tied to condition
A slave to submission

All that I need
Is a way to deceive
The eyes of the end
I could rise once again
And still shine on

Crawl on your hands and knees
Blind from the vision,

You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy

And you want it all

A frozen sun,
Will guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away.

So sleep tonight,
In idle dreams
The pain will drown,
Your silent screams

And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away
Lives you once adored
will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay

Come face to face with it
Pushed on your side
Lose all your self control
Worlds will collide

Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope

Witness the fall from grace
You shed your skin
Change if it pleases you
Just don't give in

Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope

Quiet now she said
you're waking up the dead
I cradle the excuse
In love with the abuse so..
I handle it with ease
its a dignified disease
Slow down

Soul searching breaks you down
You'll never learn
Annihilate yourself
All things must burn

Inside out you can't cope

I took a slide, slipping down a staircase
A Piranesian dream
My senses reeled, distorted about the darkness
A lit my way with a scream
And in the rave an alarum caused a
Cracked mirror
I got confused by the sound
I turned around and touched it from a distance
and then it fell to the ground

Loud cry from the shallows
Lust feeds on the fear
Walls crack under pressure
I think the end is getting near

And in my mind that was the furry of a madness
That consecrated the dirt
I stumbled through the enigma of the reason
And celebrated the hurt
And then I found in an act of desperation
A subtle rip in the heart
I was seduced by the fear (taste) of devastation
and then it tore me apart

Oh no, nothing matters!
When it takes me
Where it rapes me, breaks me
Shakes me down

A quick escape from the fear of commination
I slept the night with my spleen
A thin exuse, I was searching for some answers
I broke away from the scene
Because after all animality's an instinct
And its Luxuria's slave
To taste the truth, it's a seizure of the senses

I want the world to wake
I want to give you peace
I want to vindicate
You need to be released

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
Its just to make you see

That I'm a man that's weak
And I'm a man that's lost
I give it all away
To complicate the cost

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
Its just to make you see
I'm not going to hurt you now
I need to make you see
If I desert you now
Its just to make you see

I want you to be free

We fear what we see in the distance
We're shattered by life's soft deceit
Enslaved to our thoughts by our reason
Refusing to walk with the weak

Betrayed by the past's desolation
We slept listless nights by the shore
Searching for signs of salvation
Hoping to find something more

Tell me what I have when it all slips away
Tell me what see when the light fades away
Tell me what I hold in the palm of my hand
Tell me what I fell, cause I'm trying
To understand
I'm sending transmission

Confused by the weight of out virtue
We follow the paths of the slain
In silence we walk through these shadows
Embracing the pleasures of pain

Now that the thrill of the massacre is over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins
I've waited so long

I roll back the stone just to see
What I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeurr now faced with defeat
I've waited so long

Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
where will you turn when you can't find
Your soul
I've waited so long

Salvation's at hand,
Its a matter of taste dear
Lost in ideals you found in the trash

I saw a face in the mirror
That made my blood run clear
I think I've waited to long

I went along for the ride
she complicated the slide
I went to take her hand
I couldn't feel a pulse

Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
the sooner you see
You can't deny me

I had a dream that within
a celebration of sin
You do a dance with denial

I only wanted a friend
To see a beautiful end
She went to take her hand
She couldn't feel a pulse

Senseless is pleasure
Nothing's forever
the sooner you see

Confess what you crave
a life without pain
you'd kill for the taste
But the hurt still remains

Still they don't know who you are

Just be still my emerald
I'll be waiting for you
Do exactly what your told
I'll be waiting for you

Ashamed by the threats
you pierce the embrace
afraid and alone
In a dark lonely place

did you always want to be
did they try to steal your soul
did they hurt you with deceit
can't you come in from the cold
be still my emerald

Desperate to take
Lost in its wake
Time slips away to soon

Pleasures of fear
Drawing us near
Where could we go from hear

Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
And nothing is wrong with us

Life in these veins
Godless and stained
Glimpses of hope exist

Slanted advance
Threatened by chance
Time slips away to soon

Waste what we want
We beg and we're bought
