i'm not that sorry

i fooled you once again

innocence won't last

once into your veins

i've passed

i wish that i regretted

what's been done to you

dark berries stain your skin

as poison's creeping through

nightshade

nightshade

all you are, unmade

not able to undo

i'm sorry that you

strayed to

nightshade

nightshade

black eyes are shining

when darkness holds you tight

there is no silver lining

so just go to the light

(lies are only skin deep)

sympathy

felt externally

inside we do not weep

sweetness is subdued

cold hush settles in

and soon we'll be renewed

nightshade

nightshade

atropine

price paid

nightshade

nightshade

soon we'll be renewed x2

nightshade is my savior

it's nature's poisoned kiss

i am drowning gently

in this dark abyss x2

(lies are only skin deep) x3

lies are only skin deep

i wish that i regretted

what's been done to you

dark berries stain your skin

as poison's creeping through

nightshade

nightshade

atropine

price paid (x4)

spent years chasing after cures

vastly insecure

craving youthful immaturity

don't you see past purity?

slam my head onto the wall

to find relief, let yourself fall

lost in the haze, drowning my fears

move through the smoke and you disappear

if you think i'm here then you're mistaken

nothing stands before you you've been forsaken

a series of mistakes you made

and you can't unmake 'em

i see my skin is turning blue

no feeling in a bloodless hue

you're talking to me, it's hard to breathe

smiling back with bloody teeth

taking a step that you can't undo

it's all your fault you missed your cue

when water meets your stonelike face

maybe that's your saving grace

sitting on the corner of the bed

waiting for a lie

but there's silence there instead

if you think i'm here then you're mistaken

a series of mistakes

and you can't unmake 'em

if you think i'm here then you're mistaken

nothing stands before you you've been forsaken

a series of mistakes you made

and you can't unmake 'em

if you think i'm here then you're mistaken

a series of mistakes

and you can't unmake 'em

(and you can't unmake 'em...)

we both know

your body needs

all my soul

you only want control

you know what you need

desiring

i know your eyes

want soft thighs

i know what you are admiring

cannot change your mind

can't go back in time

devil in disguise

desires desires

desires desires

desires desires

don't look at me

cuz all you see

is false imagery

i know that stare

filled with despair

and what you want from me

don't look at me

cuz all you see is all you want to be

i know my voice

it's not my choice

and i do not agree

purging with holy water

never let them breathe again

and let them see

what's waiting at the end

hold them down till they ascend

never let them scream again

scream again

desires desires

desires desires

desires desires

desires desires

cannot change your mind

devil in disguise

they can't hear you cry for help

cannot comprehend

we both know

your body needs

we both know

your body needs

all my soul

your body needs

i cannot change your mind

your body needs

they look at you

they scream at you

no skin

they look at you

they scream at you

no limbs

they look at you

they scream at you

no grins

they scream at you

no chins

no life

no life

they look at you

they scream at you

no skin

they look at you

they scream at you

no limbs

they look at you

they scream at you

no grins

they look at you

they scream at you

no chins

no life

no life

no life

no life

the devil within

holding it in

possession begins

cut with the blade

don't be afraid

misunderstood

lick up the soot

baptized in blood

buried in mud

blood of the foals

making the cut

the devil

the devil within

cut the skin

buried in mud

whisper the threat

try not to act

the devil

the devil within

holding it in

possession begins

cut with the blade

don't be afraid

misunderstood

lick up the soot

the devil within

cut the skin

let him in

baptized with blood

buried in mud

whisper the threat

try not to act

the devil within

(baptized with blood

buried in mud...)

always running after you

i cannot see, everything's blue

my skin is grey and i'm asleep

we're drowning now, we are so deep

i can't trust you anymore

water flowing through the door

you were the one that let me sink

the memories vanish with a wink

i hate what you have become

and your words weren't always numb

i don't want apologies

go sing your doxology

help me father, save my soul

wasn't that your foremost goal?

and she can't speak with water in her mouth

the ocean's got her

reaching the depths

of our despair

laying thirteen autumns unaware

just can't accept my fate

we're gone now, it's far too late

eat the flesh when it's still fresh

there are ashes in the river

where forever they will stay

they will always stay in dither

they decay, and i decay

there are ashes in the river

where forever they will stay

they will always stay in dither

they decay, and i decay

i can see you running far

i can see you running far

i can see you running far

i can see you running far

oh, no, i see a shadow

oh, no, i see a shadow

there are ashes in the river

where forever they will stay

they will always stay in dither

they decay, and i decay

there are ashes in the river

where forever they will stay

they will always stay in dither

they decay, and i decay

you're somebody that knows about stuff like this

and you can sit down and talk to me about it

and that's beautiful

i'm glad that you're doing it

i just hope you'll get the right stuff out of it for people

but the feelings-

no, i don't wanna hear about-

i don't wanna hear about it

but it's not- you already know so you can

it's nice to go back up there

i'm a happy person

see, i can- it doesn't hurt me

i don't have any monsters

i don't know what psychotic means, really

clinically, you know, i don't know, nervous?

to fade like a star

you must show us your scar

and the night won't end for a year

(we will fade)

if you tell no lies

well then i won't say goodbye

it's a dream that's gone all awry

stardust falls away

with no chance to pray

angels falling from the sky

(we will fade)

when i tell you so

don your cape and hurry go

nurse your wounds, you won't die today

far away

don't you recall that night?

it will never be alright

you are banished far from the stage

(we will fade)

fall like stardust then

with a cigarette in hand

all around us angels will die

(fade)

no more brutal lies

you can't say goodbye

we will fall and fade from the sky

(we will fade)

with celestial hips

and your technicolor lips

i think you'll be just fine

sometimes it's okay

i know what i'm made for

and it's okay

sometimes it's okay

i know what i'm made for

and it's okay

sometimes it's okay

to know what you're made for

sometimes it's okay

to know what you're made for

sometimes it's okay

to know what you're made for

sometimes it's okay

to know what you're made for
