Album:

Nymphetamine

Evanescent like the scent of decay 
I was fading from the race 
When in despair, my darkest days 
Ran amok and forged her face 
From the fairest of handmaidens to 
A slick perverted wraith 


Nymphetamine 


Heaving midst narcissus 
On a maledict blanket of stars 
She was all three wishes 
Sex, sex, sex 


A lover hung on her death row 
I was hooked on her disease 
Highly strung like Cupid's bow 
Whose arrows hungered meat 
And the blinding flare of passion 
In the shade of narrow streets 
Where their poison never rationed 
All the tips they left in me 


Two tracks 
Bric-a-brac 
Something passed between us 
Like a bad crack 
Upward-lit 
I'd met another kind 


Of rat 
In fact 
With every rome inside me 
Licked and ransacked 
She haunted at the corners of my mind 


In black 
Cataracts 
Wouldn't whitewash away 
Her filthy smoke stack 
She burnt me like a furnace 
For my future suicide 


Lead to the river 
Midsummer, I waved 
A 'V'' of black swans 
On with hope to the grave 
All through Red September 
With skies fire-paved 
I begged you appear 
Like a thorn for the holy ones 


Cold was my soul 
Untold was the pain 
I faced when you left me 
A rose in the rain 
So I swore to the razor 
That never, enchained 
Would your dark nails of faith 
Be pushed through my veins again 


Bared on your tomb 
I'm a prayer for your loneliness 
And would you ever soon 
Come above unto me? 
For once upon a time 
From the binds of your lowliness 
I could always find 
The right slot for your sacred key 


Six feet deep is the incision 
In my heart, that barless prison 
Discolours all with tunnel vision 
Sunsetter 
Nymphetamine 
Sick and weak from my condition 
This lust, a vampyric addiction 
To her alone in full submission 
None better 
Nymphetamine 


Nymphetamine, nymphetamine 
Nymphetamine girl 
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine 
My nymphetamine girl 


Wracked with your charm 
I am circled like prey 
Back in the forest 
Where whispers persuade 
More sugar trails 
More white lady laid 
Than pillars of salt 


Fold to my arms 
Hold their mesmeric sway 
And dance her to the moon 
As we did in those golden days 


Christening stars 
I remember the way 
We were needle and spoon 
Mislaid in the burning hay 


Bared on your tomb 
I'm a prayer for your loneliness 
And would you ever soon 
Come above unto me? 
For once upon a time 
From the binds of your holiness 
I could always find 
The right slot for your sacred key 


Six feet deep is the incision 
In my heart, that barless prison 
Discolours all with tunnel vision 
Sunsetter 
Nymphetamine 
Sick and weak from my condition 
This lust, a vampyric addiction 
To her alone in full submission 
None better 
Nymphetamine

None better
