celebration day
& yet again
i feel this small
she sets fire to the stars
she has come possessed

structures collapsing
& i feel almost human again
mad as birds
shares my bed
godhead bleeding through the walls
[fucking on prozac never seemed so pure]
oh let it stain

& the flames lick higher
as the heat grows stronger
& i just feel dirty
it comes to nought & i suffer
join the black celebration
let the hate bite harder
reunion
let it stain...

lost in the madhouse
she walks the tightrope of the nightmare again
delusional, entrenched
dulled by her will
& the tourniquet tightens...

as the flames lick higher
& the heat grows stronger
& i just feel dirty
it comes to nought & i suffer
join the black celebration
let the hate bite harder
reunion
let it stain...
let it stain.

she is the knife of mercy
she is the blade when all is right
& i am numbed by occasion
& i am bathed in the light
she says:
"you were always a failure"
& she says:
"you were never that good anyway"

bodies entwined, flesh elastic
i lick the sweat off her skin
this is a trigger for the downside...

as the flames lick higher
& the heat grows stronger
& i just feel dirty
it comes to nought & i suffer
join the black celebration
let the hate bite harder
reunion
let it stain...

& the sane face etched
with the restless horror
as the inmates feint
it turns to smoke
as it lingers
join the black celebration
let the hate bite harder
reunion
let it stain...
