The Axes II
Part of an ongoing concept, 'Beautiful Isolation'

lyrics

Seems you are lost but I know
I've seen your face her before
Look in my eyes and you will see
To me it's flattering
This one is free
It's all on me
You've read the sign
Now get on your feet
Put on your shoes, do up those knots
Because one hell of a night is in store

Hellish Saxophone
Ears hear the rumble
So do the nails of the toes
Frightened to touch the ground in fear;
Of roots
Soaking;Slurping;Bringing the drought

Remember me
I am the echo in your head
You can't forget me
All of the promises you've spent
Look deep and you'll see
Like melody through the mind I'll spread
No time for pity
Just take my hand
I'll lead the dance
You now tread
(One step ahead)


Everything's Robotic
It's terribly hypnotic
And we'll sip gin and tonic
Under moonlit skies
And when the dawn, it awakes
All the hopes and all the stakes
Will they stay, or will they break
When eyes gaze on blue sky?

And I know it's at high cost
But I've seen you pay this price before
You came around again to dance with me
Turns my heart into battarie

Would you look at the time, the crowd needs more
They don't want my face, it's you they adore
Do not tell me you're weary for just one more time
IF YOUR SKIN IS TOO HEAVY WE'LL GIVE BONES A TRY

Do not cry you wanted this dance
I let you leave but you came crawling back
And now its eye for an eye, you only gave me a tooth
YOU BOUGHT UP ALL OF MY LIES BECAUSE I SOLD THEM AS TRUTH

You're such a fucking disgrace
I'll walk on your back; I'm crushing your face
I'll spit in your eye; I'll dry it with dirt
I'M SO SORRY MY DEAR FRIEND THIS REALLY MUST HURT

I'LL FUCKING RIP YOU IN HALF
I'LL FUCKING DRAIN OUT THE GUTS
I'LL FUCKING WATCH YOU BLEED
I'LL FUCKING HAVE YOU FOR LUNCH
I'LL FUCKING TIE THE NOOSE
& FUCKING WATCH YOU SWING
I'LL FUCKING...
Help you feel at home
To give you the peace
The isolation foretold
Don't be frightened to take my hand
And together we'll kill the God we've created
