Original Lie

what i wanted i couldn't have
there was a stain in my way
on the back of my head
from the dark ages of my dreams

reaching a star just to watch it die
the eyes of a sphinx licking on your skin
flagellating on your sins
inside of your rusted lungs

deep within, far inside
long ago, far away
open doors, closed hearts
another shelter thrown apart

rusted lungs and hearts and sounds
mutilated hands in vain
a rain drop's tryin to survive
between thigs of broken glass

circles and squares they look the same at night
light and darkness: shameless lovers
overjoyed in their primal screams
aware we are one and the same

we're one and the same, we cannot see
were born naked and mad in red
we're one and the same yet so apart
divided by a dirty steel veil

what i wanted i could see
what i wanted i could have
now it's gone and lost in time
but we're still here you, i & i

them and us is the original lie
them and us is the original lie
them and us should be crucified
for you and i and ours yet to come
