lyrics

Step outside this paper house
There is a fire that never goes out
You're wearing a tuxedo out in the rain
On their ankle a heart shaped ball and chain

Step outside when the downpour falls without a sound
The moment is heavy as the sickness dance in and out
When you're having a fire under the lake
Under the burial
Under crystal pain

And all this aspiration scatter by isolation
Baptized in the blood of self immolation

The longer you stare
The faster I disappear
The fog in the air
It's not really there
We're so alone
As we embrace the cold

And when the tulips die on Christmas eve
The only angel here is Abaddon

You talk the worst when you're thoughts black out snot spat out bloody
They listen best when a miasma waltz's from your lips
Speaking spells like a proper prayer
Alone in the dim light
It's as if nobody's really there

Wonder where blind angels dance when the walls are lined with human flesh
Ripping pages
As the dead manifest

And when the tulips die on Christmas eve
The only angel here is Abandon
It's laughing
You're dreaming
It's laughing
You're screaming
You're arms have no feeling
You're ear up against the wall so hollow
Listening close and you'll hear the sound of rushing water
Your hands opaque
Opaque hands around my throat again
