in theory, in practice

another album inspired piece --> HIM's Screamworks. They are my muse, so bear with me people. I also suggest listening to the record while reading this. Only seven parts for first seven songs.

I. veritas, oh veritas 

   There is a sick lie in love
but there also lies a disgusting truth; 
     heartbreak is inevitable 
            resurrection is always possible
burn, burn, burn baby
breathe me in just to cut me all over again
regardless, I will always be waiting. 

II. admissions & adoration 

You are the evading truth,
    the ultimate dream 
        to which I cannot escape 
and I am so afraid 
      my lips are so blue;
I may never be enough for you. 

You kiss all my fears away
you take hold of my fragile heart
    and in exchange hand me yours.
You kiss me-- ever so violently 
 and I begin to wonder why I was 
ever so frightened in the first place.

"I love you." 

III. flatline 

Nothing can rescue me now;
           you kiss me once 
              and now I am in hell.

           The only sound left is the flatline 
of my heartbeat; I have lost this war now. 

IV.  petite mort 

The sun kisses our sweaty skins;
    I sing the chorus of sweet sweet devotion.
           My body, serpentine, sends you a message 
        a message in which only we can read. 
                Only for you
                      Only for you. 

V.  disarm 

We are lost, we are lost;
               angels we once were,
           now we are nothing more than dust.
                  Save your kisses for tomorrow 
                but today I cannot bear the intoxication;
                       the sorrow is too much to bear.

I love thee no more
         I love thee no more. 

VI. blind 

I still taste the poison on my lips
             I feel the darkness closing again.
            You're so far away, 
              a dream now long forgotten.

VII. burn 

The noose around me tightens,
             the wheel continues to turn
            my soul continues to burn
                all in the name of love and its unholy trinity. 

Author's Note

dedicated to all the hopeless romantics, such as myself. There is hope.
