sway to the drone
I set it down in quarry stone the basement’s flooded but my feet are dry
dry as bone the moon is down I’ll take the daughter’s hand to make it right
tonight tonight tell me if it’s happened yet tell me if it’s happened yet
tell me if it’s happened yeah I want to know
a thing of lust of pheromone take this seed and plant it in the night
it’s on the cusp set in stone don’t dance around yourself just lose the fight
tonight tonight tell me if it’s happened yet tell me if it’s happened yet
tell me if it’s happened yeah I want to know

vyktor kyam
I loved her so much I bought her company

victorian
something that crawls it’s on all fours don’t answer the door victorian

there’s something at the door something that’s been round here before
it’s been here before a shadow that falls across the floor victorian
there’s something at the door something that’s been round here before

dark lake
dark lake the weight of stone dead pool the bloodstained clothes
a fire bringing down the woods the mistakes the things we took
the light is in your eyes bodies floating by these bloody hands are mine early warning
take a picture here frozen out of fear don’t be so cavalier the dead are coming
fire
this place will haunt you cold to the grave it’s taking hold
a fire bringing down the woods the misplaced the things we lost
there’ll be no sleep tonight bodies floating by these bloody hands are mine early warning
take a picture here frozen out of fear don’t be so cavalier the dead are calling

poison in the well
I’ve seen them on the wall should have seen the morning nights before and they’ll come to get us all
and there’s no escaping now no there’s nothing else that can be done so I’m waiting by the door
it’s all it’s all it’s all over now we’ve drunk the poison from the well now I think it’s time to go
but I’m feeling very still and the morning is a mocking bell and they’ll come to take us all
that’s all

alibis

please leave me alone

aileen wuornos
my name is aileen wuornos and you can find me my ghost outside your window alone

scary show†

list 99
hear the wolves come scratching at your door
got damaged at birth it’s not your fault
run run run like a pig to the candy store
footsteps following and the blood & bone
and the bitches on heat are running with the wolf
all hail bow down to the father sun
and we’re sharpening knives we’re beating down the door
on an endless wheel we come to harm
on an endless wheel on an endless wheel we come to harm

double happiness
it comes too little often like sunlight in autumn
to bathe you and offer just something to soften
and meltdown the heartache that one gives and one takes
is it counting the mistakes or just finding the right breaks
give me something to pin happiness on raise my eyes to the northern star
just give me a smile to hang my troubles on so days go by to a favourite song
double happiness double happiness
and meltdown the heartache that one gives and one takes
is it counting the mistakes or just finding the right breaks
give me something to pin happiness on raise my eyes to the northern star
just give me a smile to hang my troubles on so days go by to a favourite song
double happiness double happiness
give me something to pin happiness on raise my eyes to the northern star
just give me a smile to hang my troubles on so days go by to a favourite song
double happiness
