Christian Death
The Drowning
Up for three days
up
for three days
down
under ground for six more
incisions cannot penetrate my feet
tripping, gliding, falling numbly
hands held together with unwanted skin
ripping, hiding calling dumbly
You, in houses of mud
you,
in gutter sleep - love
you,
born to slaughter - swathed gloves
you dressing daughters and sons
like you - I am broken and fragile
like you - I am tasting my heart for the first time
like you - I am feeding on slumber
like you - I’ve left my eyes far behind me
down for the count I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning
The eighth day
sleep,
the eighth day
clawed
my way back to the first
no gentle fingers collapse on my eyes
weeping, prying, struggling blindly
there's no sanity standing me back on my feet
I'm in an empty room
I'm
burning books from you
I'm
lost in bed with you
breaking
these mirrors to end all I’ve seen
Like you - I am broken and fragile
like you - I am tasting my heart for the first time
like you - I am feeding on slumber
like you - I’ve left my eyes far behind me
down for the count I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning
I'm still drowning

Eye Dance
Was it my imagination?
Working over time again
Did we make a strange connection
Just then
Some things I've never spoken
Some things I've never done
If we could forget our manners
Just once
If I asked you
What would you do?
Would you think it over
We see stranger things
Everyday
Would you think it over
Somethings changed in your expression
Maybe I should explain
Because it could be my imagination
Again...
If I asked you
What would you do?
Would you think it over
We see stranger things
Everyday
Would you think it over?
I'm Falling
I never thought this could happen
I never thought I could feel this way
Until this strange
reaction today
You give me a strange sensation
In a place that has no name
Something tells me I'll never feel the
same
Now it's all changed
I'm falling, falling
Falling, falling
I'm falling, falling
Falling, falling
I
began to slip - I did not know what was coming next
Even so I was not prepared for this...
I used to think nothing mattered
Now
I see possibilities
You showed a new direction to me
And it's all changed
Under the Influence
There's a deep sea
In your eyes
And they haunt me
All the time
And theres so many reasons
I cannot say
So the feeling
Won't fade away
I am under the influence
And it won't stop
Under the influence
And I can't seem to shake it off
Shake it off
But theres no room
In your life
Its the wrong place
And I have no right
And thought I try my best
To control myself
Have you noticed
I'm not doing very well
I'm still under the influence
And it won't stop
Under the influence
I can't seem to
Under the influence
And it won't stop
Under the influence
I can't seem to shake it off
Shake it off (x4)
There's a deep sea
In your eyes
And they haunt me
They haunt me all the time
And theres so many reasons
I cannot say
Still the feeling
It won't fade away
I am under the influence
And it won't stop
Under the influence
I can't seem to
Under the influence
And it won't stop
Under the influence
I can't seem to shake it off
Shake it off (x7)
Total War
We walk the streets together
With smiles on our faces
We talk nice to each other
And we listen when we have to
Maybe its just overrated
Maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together
We walk the streets together
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over
Any other girl would just pass over
Nothing ever comes between us
In no man's land
That they deserve
Look at us prop up the pieces
We live together on our own
Maybe its just overrated
Maybe I'm just isolated
We walk the streets together
We walk the streets together
You don't like my friends
You don't like my clothes
You think that I'm crazy
Any other girl would just pass over (x4)
This is total war girl (x4)
Any other girl would just pass over (x2)
This is total war girl (x12)

The Dancing Did
The Headmaster and The Fly
A quiet darkened, quite still, no enquiries, Headmaster’s study.
Suffocating oak
panels,
Smothering in soft shiny beeswax.
Yellow painted plaster mock Tudor roses, dripping from the ceiling.
Tiger
skin,
Blending into,
Faded blood red,
Thread-bare carpet.
Diamond-paned.
Nicotine stained.
Glass windows.
A
mighty pigskin covered desk,
With ornate,
Ivory,
Antique inkstand.
Behind the desk a man....
The Head...master....
Dustless
eyelids open....
And revealed in the reflection,
Of his large pupils.....
A small pupil,
Requiring summary correction.
Bulging
eyes regard the boy,
With measured mock astonishment.
Then a raising of eyebrows,
And grinding of teeth,
Heralds
the coming admonishment.
Pursed-lips-open-alligator-slow-as-a-deep-red-tongue-flicks-around-its-dark-wet-home.
Words
fall croaking out, bump off the huge desk, bang round the walls, climb up mullioned windows,
But miss the young miscreant’s
ears....
It’s then, that the fly appears...
NO KNOCKS OR APPOINTMENTS JUST STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WINDOW!
Its
black shiny body makes straight for the dead smell of the headmaster!
Where it wildly buzzes around his head,
like
a playful miniature vulture.
A precise, thin, white, chalk steeped swat misses the circling insect as it farts and
darts away...
To a speck of dust where it sheds a million germs that run amock,
And copulate unnoticed on the headmaster’s
desk-top.
It-climbs-and-dives-it-climbs-and-dives-it-climbs-and-dives-it-climbs-and-dives,
It loops the loop,
it drops a mid-air shit, without a care.
As the ancient man drones on and on,
It screeches through the air,
As
the ancient man drones on and on,
It screeches through the air,
As the ancient man drones on and on,
It screeches
through the air,
As the ancient man drones on and on,
It screeches through the air!
