Black & Blue 02:44
lyrics
(R. Vena) Dreamless sleep in effigy Of everything you stole from me Ships sink and the love just drowns again (unwanted) There’s innocence in absence While my wrists are raining down From where I swing I know now I’ll die staring at the ground Sewn through these words is the love I send And in my chest, a barren heart to lend Dragged through this town and through the “never again’s” Hanged by the ties I couldn’t bear to mend (Never again, never again) Never live to share your lips again (Never again, never again) Never wake to hold me close in bed Supposed king of heart I’ll find solace in sleep When the only hollow thing In this fucking room rests in me My vision fades When will this end? Unhinge this tomb with my heart key And put my ashes out to fucking sea I’m so sorry my beautiful absentee Life was never cut out for me

Rain 02:12
lyrics
(R. Vena) I’m fighting for the memories in the back of my mind Lost in dull retrieve of a heart dimming from bright The latter of this life leaves me with bare bones to wear There’s no heart upon these sleeves nor a single tear to spare The glass cracks at the windows edge when I tell myself it’s still okay My hands shake at the fucking thought of all the love I let slip away I’m taking back these tired words in hope it all might end today I’ll carve my heart into this fucking wall and let it all come crashing down on me I’m throwing knives at all your wounds just to remind myself I’m still alive All alone at night, head in hands (the hope and how I let it die) Every chance we take is one we’ll later fucking throw away It’s forever better to burn out than to fade away You held that picture in front of my face and you asked me “Will this ever be us someday?” And I whispered back so softly, “Some things never fucking change…”

Deathbeds 03:37
lyrics
(J. Vena) I broke my fingers just to see which one would sting the most And chose that one to trace our steps along the lonely weathered coast Each sickening snap barraged my ears like livid crashing waves I bit down through wincing pain on a bruised tongue to write your name (and we sang...) "Oh, dear, oh, love, there's nothing left here in this town for us to chase There's nothing left beneath our feet except the sands of our disgrace We'll follow maps and endless paths that bear the shape of our bloodless veins It's just too late for us, too fucking late for us.." We gave up everything, we made love in our parents' deathbeds The soil was gracious but we watered it with spit and piss instead When it rained, it fucking poured.. every acid drop you cursed my name The jet black clouds became as empty as my throbbing head.. I sleep on daggers and bleed out to time the length between your bored sighs Your venal heart, it lays in shit, a shallow pest upon my thigh I've made this bed of thorns, now i'll swallow my teeth and lie in it I've dug my shallow grave, now i'll vomit out my soul and die in it (I'm so sick and fucking tired of your face) So when i pass, don't carve my name into a lavish stone Scratch it in a mound of dirt with splintered shards of broken bone And when i die, adorn my grave with wedding bells I wed myself to feeding worms and sink straight into hell
