Dying For You

Shriveling decaying
Curled brown leaves
Sacred plague sullen heart
Sick all day without sleep
The world just disappears
Fading away
You're like smoke through my fingers
All I've ever wanted
Was to be by your side
Love you to pieces baby
Stroke your withered flesh
Baby you destroy me
I've died a thousand deaths
But this will be my last
If you don't come back to me
You're a disease eating me slowly
I need your freezing touch
I need your corpse against me
No matter what I won't give up
Your entire being possesses me
I'll follow you to your grave
And lay with you there under me
I'm dying for you baby

Stung

I long for your poison
Ashen anger
You are gone
And I'm heartbroken
Reached out
And I was stung
I was naive and hopeful
To think that you would come
And what you've done to me
Can never be undone
You're the only one
Who can hurt me
You're the only one
I've been stung
Got too far under your skin
So this is what you've done
Always been a drunk for poison
Until it kills me and I'm done
Lesser men have fled from you
But I will never run
Oh black widow you are deadly
So much deadly fun
Suicide is love for you
And I can never run
Only you can make me feel better
You're the only one
I've been stung
You're the only one
I've been stung
You're the only one
You're the only one

Common Plague

|
|

|
The curse is old as time itself
The strain is mutual
The words they come and spill forth
From the well that holds our spell
Union is inevitable
Bound in blood and stone
Poet mystic prophets
Beware the one who knows
On some day you'll find me
And our dark harvest shall be known
An oath fulfilled with blood and rose
Union of more than flesh and bone
I have many spies and vectors
To infect you with my plague
Many servant preachers
To utter out my name
Black shadow murmurs
Carry forth my faith
I must have you by my side
You are my spirit's mate
I shall lure you with abandon
Silver tongue gold melody
Swallow up your soul within mine
In smokey reverie
Bound in leather and in lace
Receive my gift to you
Feel it crawl between your hips
Feel it scratching inside you
A thousand ███████ you'll bear as brood
Only if you want to
Bear my plague for you
Only if you want to
Bear my plague for you
Only if you want to
Share it with my muse
Only if you want to
Share it with my muse
Only if you want to
You already have it too
Lovely spell
Make it true
A lovely pox
Make it bloom
Lovely spell
Make it true
A lovely pox
Make it bloom
Lovely spawn
Make it true
A lovely pox
Make it bloom
Lovely spawn
Naked truth
A lovely pox
Make it bloom

The Shadow Dress
01:40
|
|
||
|
Her hair falls over her eyes
She wears her darkness like a gown
She hides from the people
Hides from the light
Hides beneath her shadow
Falls out of sight
Her anger is beauty
But she's shied away
Her love is a promise
That never fades
Furtive and wounded
Is the soul of her gaze
For so many people
Have made her this way
And I would do anything
For her to hear what I say
For pride in our being
Is the only way
And the worst thing of all
Would be to watch you slip away
Watch you slip away
But you must find your way

Twins
02:41
|
|
||
|
Two fish in the sea of dreams
Dreams that pour like water into our minds
And the water we drink
In the water we swim
In the ether we reside
In the darkness of our minds
When I dream you dream
When you dream I dream
Everything we are is shared
And we drink from the well that fulfills this spell
When we paint with a brush
One brush over the other
One current follows another
Until we are entwined in one another.
Twins twins
You are my twin
My only friend

Drown

Lost myself in you
Lost myself in you
Now I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Lost myself in you
I am lost without you
Drown drown drown drown drown
Down down down down
To the darkest depths with you
Lost my mind for you
Lost my mind for you
Now I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
And I am crazy just for you
Swallow up my rueful being
Pull me into you
Drown drown drown drown drown
Drown drown drown in you
The dark waters of your barren sea
Are calling me to you
And I know I'll find the truth
When I give myself to you
Every dream I've ever had
You have made come true
Drown drown drown drown drown
Drown drown drown in you
L'amour est bleu
Love is true
L'amour est bleu
Love is true

Dissolve
10:22
|
|

|
Let it go
Don't be sad
Love is all that is real
Saw your face in the water
Twisting shimmering
At the bottom of the ocean
There's a noise that drowns everything
The lives we've lived keep repeating
Lessons learned memories reappearing
All things are solved when all things dissolve
I feel safer when the world's disappearing
All things dissolve in the problems you solve
And I'm thankful just for you being
You're my reflection a part of me
Something for which I've always been searching
No longer a stranger a friend I hold dearly
And I'm only my true self when you're around me
All things are solved when all things dissolve
That wall of static I hear it calling
All things dissolve in the sea of it all
And I know you'll always be with me

Serpentine Skies Connecticut

Howcha Magowcha
by Turkish Delight
supported by 6 fans who also own “Dissolve”
Sometimes one instrument stands out in a band and here I admire the very creative guitar-work, dissonant, edgy and daring. The whole band creates an energy, which seems to jump out off your speakers. If you love the dissonance of Sonic Youth and the aggressive drive of the Dead Kennedys you should give this a try.

Flesh World Vol. I
by Niku No Sekai
supported by 5 fans who also own “Dissolve”
Niku No Sekai's latest project is an enchanting and mystical release to behold for the listener, starting with the swelling and ever-shifting sound of "WW4," it introduces the dank, atmospheric ambiance to permeate the mix. There is chilling percussion, heavy acoustic looping, buzzing chimes, and a myriad of instrumental changes happening within each piece. There is a beautiful satisfaction and haunting presence lurking in Flesh World Vol. 1, and it beckons to be listened. Check this out~

Fractured Whole
by Cruel Diagonals
Every sound here is made using Megan Mitchell's voice, even though the music often sounds more like Earth’s vibrations than a human singing.

Couch Slut is a rare band in the noise genre. Influenced by Sonic Youth, lo-fi black metal, and other genres, the lead singer screams over fragmented riffs. Amazing work.
