Panic!
02:53
|
|
||
Now we're here to serve and to protect
No need to worry when I'm here by your side
You can trust me there's nothing for you to fear
Stay here and hide from the monsters
There's panic in the city
The world's crumbling down
This soul is corrupted
This vessel infected
Look at the city, the wasteland it has become
There's no hope left for them at all
Laughing at the end of the world
There's panic in the city
The world's crumbling down
This soul is corrupted
This vessel infected
Evil spirits hiding
They lurk in alleyways waiting for their prey
Don't let them get you
Don't let them get you
I won't let them get you
I'll never let them hurt you
There's panic in the city
The world's crumbling down
This soul is corrupted
This vessel infected
Look and see what the world has become

Blue & White
04:14

Hands 'round my throat
My colours fade
Desperately gasping for air
Life goes away leaving nothing
Death never feels so imminent 'til it's inches from your face
Life drained from me
Blue into white
Hands 'round my throat
My colours fade
Down on the ground cold and lifeless
I see clearly the face of God

Alleyways
04:04
|
|
||
Shadows overtaking my soul
Their evil flows through my mind
New urges awaken
Pray to god that I will somehow escape its grasp
Lose hope, fall down to my knees (There's no hope)
God why have you cursed me, why, oh why?
Stake my heart
Drown me in holy water
Bury me six feet under so I can't climb out from the ground
and kill under moonlight
Stalking my prey through alleyways
Stake my heart
Drown me in holy water
Bury me six feet under so I can't climb out from the ground
and kill under moonlight
Stalking my prey through alleyways

Note to Self

Dear, Me
My therapist wants me to write letters and not send then to get my thoughts down. At first I sort of scoffed at the idea of these "unsent letters" but now after what's happened, I'm willing to try anything. I don't really remember that night, I remember being approached in the alleys then waking up in a hospital bed, but I feel different. Sickly, cold, thirsty.
Sincerely, Corny

The Hunter

Monsters looking for their high
You drive the stake through their heart
Burn the church in the night sky
Knives won't get you very far
These vampires can't scare me anymore
You monsters lost all of your fright
Leeches cannot hurt me
They will find you if you hide
Their red eyes glowing
Holy water by your side
Doctors won't save you
Blood red sharp white fangs rip your flesh
Suck your blood and leave you drained
Blood red sharp white fangs rip your flesh
Suck your blood and leave you drained
These vampires can't scare me anymore
You monsters lost all of your fright
Leeches cannot hurt me
These vampires can't scare me anymore
You monsters lost all of your fright
Monsters looking for their high
(You drive the stake through their heart)
(Burn the church in the night sky) Monsters, monsters
(Doctors won't save you) Monsters, monsters

Dear, Adelleda
I haven't stopped thinking about you, even after all that's happened to me - mind and body - and I'm starting to question everything I do. I haven't spoken to you since then, and I've only communicated my thoughts to you to the empty void underneath my pen. I think I need to talk to you face to face.
Sincerely, Corny

Stake to the Heart
04:14
|
|
||
I've been feeling like I should be forgotten
As a phantom left in my tomb
Will you stake my heart
When the sun falls
Before you're sucked dry
You shot your bullet
Right through my writings
Over and over
Silver bullets and love letters
Children of the night and
Children of the fucking damned
Can you hear me now
Silver bullets and love letters
This charade is coming to an end
Fractured masquerade
Like rainfall cracks the sky
You shot your bullet
Right through my writings
Over and over
Silver bullets and love letters
Children of the night and
Children of the fucking damned
Can you hear me now
Silver bullets and love letters

Hunter
Monster
Demon
Vile
Savage
What makes me the monster
Is it just my curse
What makes you better than me
When you're just a killer
I'm not bloodthirsty
Like you're saying
I'm not a
Monster
Demon
Vile
Savage
Your time has come
To an end
You lack perception of what you are
What makes a monster
What makes a man
Am I the monster
Or is it really you
The killer
Calling me a killer
How can you
Call me evil
I'm not a
Monster
Demon
Vile
Savage
Your time has come
To an end
You lack perception of what you are
Your time has come
To an end
You lack perception of what you are
I'm not what you think
How do you know me
I've done nothing wrong
What have I done?
Hunter
It's my job to make you
Pay the price for your sins
Repent

Insomnia

Day after day I'm losing faith
Night after night becoming this wraith
Lying awake every night
Tossing and turning
Accepting that I'm losing this fight
Crying and crying
These feelings aren't going away
Feelings of dread going away
Every night alone in my room
Writing letters to nobody
Wishing I could be among them
Wishing I wasn't a monster
and I'm never going to bed
'til I can't stand anymore
and I'm never going to bed
'til the sun casts its rays

Dear, Barney
I've been finding it hard to show my gratitude in the flesh, but I'm really thankful for your hospitality in helping me hide from that lunatic, a self proclaimed "vampire hunter" who claims I'm "one of them". As funny as it sounds, I'm starting to believe it, and I've been waking up in cold sweats and feeling violent urges. I can't stand by and put you in danger, so I'm leaving tonight. Thanks for everything.
Sincerely, Corny

Never looking into the mirror again
Nothing worth seeing anyway
I bare my teeth for the last fucking time
I'll never feed again
I will purge these sins from my soul
Push my fingers down my throat
Emptying myself for temporary relief
Never looking into the mirror again
Nothing worth seeing anyway
I bare my teeth for the last fucking time
Tomorrow I'll do it again
Monster, just a fucking monster
Eyesore, just a fucking eyesore
Take everything away
Take my life
I'll choke my fingers down
Let my shame flow out

The Hanging Tree
06:28
|
|

I'm growing ill
Beneath this hanging tree
This blood on my hands can't be washed
For it's too late
These sins I've committed
Need to be punished
The pain that stains this knife
The mark of short-lived life
These sins behind my eyes
Must be met with my demise
These hands won't ever be clean
Of these crude crimson stains
I need to repent for
My sins against order
I've become what I hate
I will end this charade
These regrets have filled my mind
These regrets have filled my soul
Filling to the brink
Can't handle this guilt anymore
These regrets leave me empty
These regrets will be my end
Filling to the brink
Can't handle this guilt anymore
I'm the monster now
The real beast of the night
I'm a monster
Monster
Monster
Monster
Monster
Monster

Under the Hanging Tree
02:34
|
|

She walked her path
Not losing sight
Or so she thought
Ignoring her plight
She wandered
Without a name
She fought her fight
She lost the game
Hesitant and the edge of life
She's hanging high but her neck's intact
She feels the air leaving her lungs
She's trying but not dying

The Final Letter

This is my final letter
Barney, I'm sorry for what I've done to you, there is nothing I could ever do to truly make up for what I've done. Last night in my darkest moments, I met someone else in theirs - with the same sorrow and grief I'm going through. That vampire hunter was hanging high in a dead tree, seeing this as some kind of opportunity at redemption I cut down my predator and brought her to the emergency room. Her name is Laura and she wants to improve herself, just like I do. Nothing will ever make up for that bloody frenzy, but I hope I can use this curse for the good of the world. But first I need to let go, let go of my fears, my old self, and I need to accept that Adelleda won't feel the same. I'm moving on to my next chapter.
