lyrics

Vincent:
Drifting
Atrophied and breathing the sour air
A red fog misting from my pores
Falling
In perpetual emulsion
The dream disintegrates, loves ashes flay my eyes to blind me to escape

So few promises were kept
You and I dream not the same dream
Breathe not the same breath
Vision returns to me a stranger
How long I slept cradled in the miasmatic meniscus of your love

Longing to shed the shroud of shadows
You cast on me
Asphyxiating volition
Desire, design, despair, deja vu
The fire burns but knows not why, dying wisp by wisp and wish by wish with me

Is this all we have left?
A drive to bury malice in each others bodies
Asha: Come take your medicine love
Vincent: Sparks turn to cinders, love to lies, the sharpest desires give way to rust
Asha: Why has the spark gone from your eyes, love? Why does your touch feel dull?

Vincent: I hold you close and pretend that I still believe in what little we have left
Asha: Come take your medicine
Vincent: Love turns to lust, sex to shame, oh how my hopes glow in throes of death
Asha: Why has the passion gone from your kiss love? Why does your breath feel pale?
