about

A disjointed, but mellifluous narrative in which the speaker sings to
someone very near and dear, perhaps dead and gone, perhaps held
against their will, perhaps poised to strike a deathblow. It is love,
loss, and lunacy that fuel this song, and whether one envisions its
voice as a knife wielding maniac who kills his love for the sake of
preserving the perceived perfection they share, or a brooding
dark-haired teenager with a knack for pros, it holds a place in the
soundtrack to any dreary night.

lyrics

Slack is gone
Eyes blank and wide
Feeble struggles
Strangled pride
Lust for torment
Howls of glee
Calls of wanton
Agony
Ignore the thrashing, tune out the screams
In this Technicolor dream
Feel the rope scrape the beam,
Apathy in its extreme

Ooh ooh

It's the cold that threatens
Our sanctum's piece
Rotted wormwood
Fear's release
I want to touch you
I want to feel
Your faded label
Your broken seal
It shakes the window, tugs the door
Like an angry predator
Killed the virgin, spared the whore
Left flower petals on the floor

Ooh ooh

Take a sip of this, it should put some color back in your face
I'm so sick of this, stare with me at what pain cannot erase
Don't pick at this, when next it bleeds I shall think of you dead
In this cold, dark place
