Lyrics: The Figurehead [demo]

Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier, weighted
Waiting in the cold light
A noise, a scream takes my clothes
As the figurines tighten
The spiders inside
Throwing dust on the lips
Of a vision of Hell
I laughed in the mirror
For the first time in a year

A hundred other words
Blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll
In the throes of dance
I'll think about you tomorrow
Let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing

I can lose myself in Chinese art
And American girls
All the time you lose me in the dark
Do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
Memory in a fire
And someone will listen for a short while

I can never say no to anyone but you

Too many secrets, too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence, despair of time
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
