Album: Lulu (2011)

The View

I am a chorus of the voices
that gather up the magnets
set before me

I attract you and repel you
a science of the heart
and blood and meaning

the coldness of most beauties
is a challenge that our youth
must quickly conquer

there is no time for guilt
or second guessing, second guessing
based on feeling

I am the truth, the beauty
that causes you to cross
your sacred boundaries

I have no morals
some think me cheap
and someone who despises
the normalcy of heartbreak
the purity of love

but I worship the young
and just formed angel

who sits upon the pin of lust
everything else
bores me

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up
your life of reason
I want you on the floor
and in a coffin your soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
every meaning you've amassed
like a fortune

oh throw it away

for worship someone
who actively despises you

for worship someone
who actively despises you

I am the root
I am the progress
I am the aggressor
I am the tablet
these ten stories

worship
worship

pain and evil have their place
sitting here beside me
I offer them to you as servants
of the gold that you must give

pain and evil have their place
sitting here beside me
and I'll offer them, I offer them to you
as servants of the gold
that you must give to me

I want to see your suicide
I want to see you give it up, give it up
your your life of reason

I want to see you on the floor

and in a coffin, soul shaking
soul shaking
I want to have you doubting
every meaning you've amassed
like a fortune, like a fortune
throw it away

for worship of someone who actively despises you

who actively despises you
