Hope has left us for dead
Desperation days ahead
Yeah it's hot as hell
Dried up inside the well
I hate the summertime
I hate the sun
Just like a dry riverbed
We hate the summer
We hate the sun
We hate the summertime

Won't it rain?
And wash away my pain
Cause when it pours
See me fly through open doors
I know I'm getting
Weak and old
My heart turned
Brittle and cold
Long ago
So long ago
Innocence
Fills me with hate
When children drown
I complain
To the sky
About the noise
And wag my cane
People stop and stare
They're unaware
Of the storm that's
On the horizon
It's alright
I know I'm getting
Weak and old
My heart turned
Brittle and cold
Long ago
So long ago

Your skin is turning blue
Your eyes have no pupils
A pure child of Mars
And it ain't fair
I hope you'll leave
But I know you'll stay there
You'll leave
But I'll stay here
We feel so warm inside
But it's cold outside
Goodbye
You've taken all the black
I see you falling back
Consuming our lives
Like they aren't there
You're a child of Mars

Hold me
Feel me
Read me
Fuck me
Need Me
I just wanna feel it all
I just want to feel at all
Hurt me
Save me
Or eat me
Fuck me
Kill me
I just wanna feel it all
I just want to feel at all
I don't need to love myself
As long as I love you
Babe
I don't understand it either
I just let myself slip away
Who made a spectacle
Out of our love?
I don't understand at all
We fell into sin
Let it slip away
I don't understand at all
I don't need to heal myself
As long as I hurt you
Babe
I don't understand it either
I just let myself slip away
You made a spectacle
Out of our love
I don't understand at all

Here I'm safe
Hiding out in the water
Breathing
Through the reeds
My life
Is mine alone
In isolation
What if my life
Isn't mine?
Here he comes
A priest in black and white
Poison the water
Burn the baptized
Don't try to save me
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
And I ...
I don't mind
Here I stay
Haunted by dreams of sin
Soft decay
My life
Is mine alone
In lamentation
Speak of the devil
And he will arrive
Here he comes
A priest in black and white
Poisoning the water
Burning the baptized
Don't try to save me
Lord, save me from sin
I won't give in
Speak of the devil
And he will arise
Here he comes
Covered in golden light
Eating his face
And drinking blood like wine
Don't try to save me
I'm drowning

I fell
I hit the floor
I passed out
I saw the Lord
I pushed the plunger
Down inside
That hole
Inside
That hole inside me
I lost my face
Stumble to fall
Stumble with grace
I lost it all
I fell
I hit the floor
I passed out
I praised the Lord
I pushed the plunger
Down inside
That hole
Inside my...

And I said too much.
And I think too much.
And my heart won't stop beating so fast.
And I screamed too much.
And I broke too much,
Please make my heart stop beating so fast.
And there's just too much blood
on the frying pan
and it's just a touch
of ethchlorvynol.
Will it take it all away?
Will it make my heart stop beating so fast?
And there's just too much blood
on the frying pan.
And I don't see how I can clean this all up.
And I drank too much.
And I killed too much.
And you screamed so much, Richard.
My love...
And there's just too much blood
on the frying pan.
And it's just a touch
of ethchlorvynol...

Two sided like you said
And my other side is my other head
Raze the city to the ground
All the screaming will be drowned out
Two sided like you said
And my other side is my other head
Lure you out into the water
Siren calls the lambs for slaughter now
You were right
I am a monster
You were right
I'll be the monster
If you like
Two sided like you said
And my other side is my other head
Statues crumble to the ground
All your glory can't be found
No

It sucked the light from your fire
I know you're tired
Shut down and wired
I know you're tired
Saturnine, Depraved
It's such a drag
At your age
And it's day after day
And you brag
And you flaunt
But you're just a slave
To the hustle
To your hustle
And you dream of the day
When you whip the slave
Saturnine, Depraved
It's such a drag
At your age
And it's day after day
And you brag
And you flaunt
But still you're a slave
Kill the hustle

Any of Gyves' two albums are great but "Solomon's Seal" is the reason I choose this album.

Nice and melancholy.
