mayhem.

hold onto me then

the parting water sweeps the skin,

churns angrily in the night.

melt away with me,

the stars have shown their spite.

the crowds yell out to us now

calling for consummation on the drive.

hold onto me then, i will lead you through the light.

the scales draw out the blood now,

it's almost time to drink.

trickle with the sweat now,

tell the brain not to think.

dilate your senses baby

we're almost on the brink.

allow the darkness to swallow you

i am right here at your side

hunt the gods in me babe,

the only law we must abide.

do not allow your frame to slip away

hold onto me then,

and swallow your goddamn pride.

paint the sand tonight with your fingertips

then desecrate the bride.

let's leave our mark on the world honey,

let us go cause a riot.

run through trees and dive off cliffs

and maybe we'll take flight.

recognize yourself in me,

you really ought to try.

hold onto me then,

i will lead you through the fire.

salty tears of the lust run down my face,

figure out the plan as time slips away.

run into the streets with me,

i will win the race.

the belt tightens, deathly like

and we're gone without a trace.

hold onto me then, i will lead you through the lace.

ring the bell of mercy baby

cry out against the angst.

force your voice to be heard

so everyone may have a taste.

the worst is yet to come for us,

if we fail to move with haste.

hold onto me then, baby,

i will lead you through the waste.

come on honey, let's face the truth

as it crowds underneath your soul.

realize you're too damn young,

you're dug into a hole.

twice around the wrist now baby,

go on and measure its size.

hope is all that we have left,

are you ready for the surprise?

hold onto me then, baby,

I will lead you through demise.
