lyrics

The first time I tried
My eyes broke free from my skull
They turned on me
And burnt through the palms of hands over my face

The next time I tried
I tied an angel up to me
Naked in clay
I eagerly clutched at her purity
Beautiful but cold
Antarctic angel with wings for the dead
Instead I vomited

Open like a wound
Colder than a tombstone
Groping the black

The last time I tried
Much harder I tried much higher I climbed
I punched out the moon
It fell at my feet and bowed down to its king
The universe stood still
Sent flowers and gold and cheered long live the king
But the gold would not shine
And the flowers soon wilted and perished

Open like a wound
Colder than a tombstone
Groping the black

Autumn leaves the drifting dead
Autumn leaves the drifting dead
Autumn leaves the drifting dead
And those that won’t sleep will rot instead
All of my senses to plot my vengeance on you

(lyrics by Craig Fryers)
