ELLA KAYE LYRICS

1. Elysium Configuration

From anchor to deserter.
For you, I would murder.
Nothing to see but I can’t keep my eyes closed.
Lights out with my head against the window.
Taking blows from the burdens that I bear
when it rains it pours, when it pours, I sit and stare.
Like rolling eyes, blackness soon will be.
Like ocean tides, carry me out to sea.
This too, this too shall pass.
Hold fast, I must hold fast.
These idle hands are tied to keep them from sin
but with arms bound, how am I to swim?
Water everywhere, a thirst I cannot quench.
The fins come circle closer, my limbs are hanging over.
Carry me out to sea.
This too, this too shall pass.
Hold fast, I must hold fast.
Mermaid theories to no avail.
I’ll meet you in the belly of the whale.
From anchor to deserter.
For you, I would murder.

2. Lament Configuration

[feat. Jared Warth (Blessthefall)]

Sinners rejoice, you’re not alone.
I’ve come to reap what I have sewn.
Sinners rejoice you’re not alone.
Can’t change the seeds from which we’re grown.
Been haunted by the same old ghosts.
Red lips, white teeth, and they smell of smoke.
So I curse the heavens, reveal my maddest edges.
Up on mountains where trees can’t breathe so they rot.
I try to break this curse. I’m more trouble than I’m worth.
I try to break this curse.
I rework navigation, Design my constellations.
A cartographer mapping the dark.
Count your blessings while I count sheep,
While you’re resting, I can’t sleep.
My empty heart, my will is weak.
While you’re resting, I can’t sleep.
So I curse the heavens,reveal my maddest edges.
Up on mountains where trees can’t breathe so they rot.
Tempt not a desperate man with ripe fruit in barren lands.
Tempt not a desperate man.
I rework navigation, Design my constellations.
A cartographer mapping the dark.
Count your blessings while I count sheep,
While you’re resting, I can’t sleep.
My empty heart, my will is weak.
While you’re resting, I can’t sleep.
I’ve spent years losing nights
purging poison from my vile vices.
Swallow blood til my stomach aches,
feed the wolves til they asphyxiate.
I gave em hell. I shook the foundations.
Those who knew me well will skip my procession.

3. Suicide Blondes

[feat. Michael Barr (Volumes)]

You’re as shallow as the water you were never baptized in.
I’ve got calloused finger tips from your pull-string Barbie rhetoric.
You speak with less conviction than a hopeless romantic.
Fortune favors the bold
but attracts hearts so cold.
It lies dormant in our bones
and brings us together alone.
As we conspire to inspire
the stakes have never been higher.
Keep the suicides away from knives
or they’ll connect the cuts.
Let’s call a spade a spade.
Clip your wings with your shoulder blades.
Temper, temper. Would you eat your young?
Would you join the feeding?
I can’t be your tourniquet. I can’t stop the bleeding.
Fortune favors the bold
but attracts hearts so cold.
It lies dormant in our bones
and brings us together alone.
As we conspire to inspire
the stakes have never been higher.
Keep the suicides away from knives
or they’ll connect the cuts.
Guard your heart.

4. Manere Aurum

[feat. Alexia Rodriguez (Eyes Set To Kill)]

She fills my eyes like she was made of gold.
And oh yes she glitters and she glows.
There’s nothing that I regret.
Don’t want to give into bitter envy.
I would rather forget.
Don’t want to relive it, don’t want to relive it.
She clings to purity so she can cast her stones.
I withdraw but i know she’s never alone.
If these sheets could talk, they would not stop,
saying that they miss her, my blood feels thicker.
Don’t leave me alone.
Once upon my mattress, we became a classic.
We burned hot like matches and outran the panic.
Once upon her sadness, we became so tragic.
We burned out like matches and only spoke in static.
If these sheets could talk, they would not stop,
saying that they miss her, my blood feels thicker.
Don’t leave me alone.
She’s burning the bridge that leads her home.
She’s running away, she’s leaving me alone.

5. Horrorscopes

[feat. Aaron Matts (Betraying The Martyrs)]

I'm an escapist. Secretive and vague.
That’s what the horoscopes say.
Cursed by timing and fucking patterns,
finding light by broken lanterns.
I’m a grave robber,
wrong doer,
home wrecker,
blood sucker.
Choked on swallowed pride,
no light in these eyes that this shiner outshines.
I’ll drink your blood, your love, your joy…
I’m just a lost boy.
I’ll be the life of the pity party,
the guest of honor.
I wait with bated breath
for you to just be honest.
No matter what you want to believe,
these city streets is where I cut my teeth.
Open a tab, I’ll turn blood into wine.
I’ve stained your dress with less, I’ve killed myself with time.
Choked on swallowed pride. No light in these eyes.
I’ll drink your blood.
I’ll be the life of the pity party,
the guest of honor.
I wait with bated breath
for you to just be honest.
The slings and arrows make me shiver.
The slings and arrows make me quiver.
