Norma Jean Album

Carry your flags,
March into that fictional cause and show off that medal,
Just don't reach for that gun.
Carry that banner.
Build that heart out of stone.
Just don't reach for that gun.
You scaled the high horse and I felt the change.
I know the difference between you and me.
You cleaned the outside of your chalice but it's filled with robbery and self indulgence...just like the rest of us.
You wear that cross like a crown. You wear that cross like a dagger.
Come down from that tower.
Nothing will be the outcome.
Nothing is the outcome.

It's like you know the words but you can't hear the music.
You've lived a lie for so long, now you believe it.
You're shooting silver bullets and taking magic pills.
I'm asking you do you know a way to delete my conscience?
Don't put your ear to the floor to hear the sound of the future.
Yours is a history. Shaped by disaster.
We're coming back for you. You better brace yourself.
I'm telling you, We're coming back
To collect that killer who killed me and threw me away.
Am I holding you up or are you holding me down?
We make the same mistakes, We always count them.
I want to fail you so badly.
I;m telling you, We're coming back to collect that killer.
What if I have to lose? What if I have to suffer?
So what if I have to lose? So what if I have to suffer?

From the bloodline of vicious serpents, a dreadful heart within a lovely shell
A demons heart, but with the face of God
I guess a liar’s heart is still true even if her lips are not
The vomit that flows out from your mouth has seeped into your chest
Searching for the strength to breathe in one last lie from you, but right now the grave seems so much easier
The fear of that devil in me… it comes from you
You’re like the smoke in the window
She comes for sorrow
She comes for lies
We came here for blood
Did you? Yes or no? No one’s getting out because we came for blood
We’re not breathing and I don’t care, because no ones breathing…
She’s not breathing. Choke that witch out
Suffocate her
Choke her out

Open that door; I’ll follow you into that space
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten
Where is that grace that carries me out? So strange it’s mine
It’s closed and locked but If you open that door,
it won’t be yesterday when, before the days of collapsing,
And I’ll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you
Can you help me every step of the way? We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time
Everyone knows cause they see the glare in our eyes
Careful now, don’t drown yourself in sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down and now I’ll carry on till it’s over…
and it’s over

I hope you burn forever.
There will be no other way.
No more suffering.
No more trust will be lost.
No more wounded.
No more blood will be shed.
Just know, I mean to harm you.
I want to see you choking and kicking in your own blood.
We all have our own personal hells.
I just hope yours burns brighter.
Deception has been your right hand.
Confusing the sight of my left.
You wont leave the way you came and now no more blood will be shed.
We will burn for this.
We will both of us burn.

Your pale skin is a razor sharp wire so i place these scales over my eyes
Don't touch me. I'm sick. You whisper, but i hear only what i choose
Hello my good old friend, your hand pulls me back from that mire or will i look back and stare and wonder if she is way back there
Afterwards my mouth will be filled with graveland im left alone
You know that feeling of fear and desperation in the pit
of your stomach making you nauseous
Excitment apprehension you wish you could lose it all
When your head spins and your stomach swells
The fear of dealing with this is stronger than the fear of just forgetting this and future i am scared of you
I swaer i'll find my way back to the light now that i'm left alone

Light that fuse, back up three steps and bite down on that bullet.
You've been doing this for way too long and it can't be fixed.
Don't worry it can't be fixed so pull up that chair and suck down that trouble.
Misery is the fuel that keeps this broken down, lifeless instrument running.
I'm sinking in cursory and i'm sinking headfirst.
Clear your dusty throat and taste that stiletto.
Can you taste that metal?
Don't worry it can't be fixed. Don't worry it can't be fixed so don't worry.
Light that fuse, back up three steps and sink without a trace.
Hold me down till i stop crying. I don't want to feel this anymore.
Hold you down cause you're not trying. I don't want to feel this anymore.
I don't want to kill you anymore. Is this what you were designed for?
Did you think that you had it coming? Hell follows with you.

Dedication is nothing but a word. What have we become?
We become the things we do. When does it end?
Argument is the enemy. You've said one hundred opposites of the left and wrong.
So tell me what's right. Not what's wrong.
I don't care anymore. I'm drained from this struggle.
Argument is the enemy. I don't care anymore; I'm giving this up.
You can fight your way thru this grageyard.
There is no rehab for your power addiction and
I've had all the freedom that I can stand
Tell me what's Right.

I can't recall that last day of sun,
Curtains closed and sitting with the lights out,
An uncertain emptiness surrounds me
I'm numb and my judgments have switched to autopilot.
Nothing left but echoes and thoughts of moving on.
Don't stay away but don't stay here. Tell me all your secrets.
I promise I'll be listening and if you ever come back home I'll be waiting patiently.
Tell me nothing sacred. I promise I won't hear a word and if you ever come back home.
I won't act so patiently.
Black feathers and an unannounced call.
These things go hand in hand, Like talking to you and the intake of glass.
I hope this knife in my hand speaks for itself... She's not coming back.

I built this destruction with my own hands and with my hands I will help pull it down. And like the worker bees, silenced by that swarm I'll make a new home. String me up, just leave me here and I'll find my way back home I swear. These are not the plans I made. This is not the life I wanted. I don't care. Pull it down. With broken bones and vital organs far from functional, I am ruined. Pull me down and I'll find my way back home I swear. What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself. We know what we have to do. We're not going anywhere! With blood stained glasses staring straight at me and just careless. With that lidless gaze I am ruined. I need to be saved. Pick me up and I'll find my way back home I swear.
