The First Time I Discovered A Dead Body

Nails in the coffin, blood in the streets
Teenage runaway, dead before dawn
In the morning sun, I discovered you
Lying as still as the moon, you were as blue as the sea
That was the first time i discovered a dead body
Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night
Deathbed, last confession, tell me what I want to hear
And then the second time was just a few feet away
Hit by a car at high speed under the pouring rain
Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night
Midnight resurrection, take me to the sacrifice
Before they mastermind my misery, exorcise the demons
So ugly on the outside,
All consuming from the inside out
Angels and demons dancing on your grave
Death lives forever in a spiraling decay
You're beautiful and far too young to die
A pale shade of blue with empty lifeless eyes
Restless apparition, over that haunted hill
Thank you for showing me death has a witness
You've opened up my eyes
As you slip away,
Fade away
As you slip away,
Fade away
Possess the psyche, you bloated cadaver
Swallow my soul if that's what you're after
Fear and fatigue as death reappears
I'll bludgeon the one who invited you here
Deathbed, last confession, tell me what I want to hear
Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night
Midnight resurrection, take me to the sacrifice
Before they mastermind my misery, exorcise the demons
