1. Suicide Note
As I become the sorrow
The funeral of screams
Become the soul of winter
Murderer of dreams
Into her hands she's crying
A death inside
The the secrets and the shadows
we have to hide
As the sun rises
I fall asleep
When the sun goes down
Why must we wake up
When she looks upon you
You'll steal her light
And in a dream its raining
Into her eyes
2. Music For The Recently Bereaved
Tonight rains for us only
For the sick and the lonely
For the hollow and broken
The firmament tears
Tonight rain falls
For us only
Forgiving
Absoluting guilt
Proviidng a mask
To disguise
The depravity we seek
When she became all that she became
There was nothing left to recognise
The emptiness kills
So she fucked herself dry
And could no longer try
To feel anything inside
A black and white still
Of the actress at night
Captured in monochrome
For the theatre wall
The mirror can not reflect
the beauty she expects
And there is nothing left
To lose
Or to gain
In the end
When she became all that she became
There was nothing left to recognise
There is no-one left to remember you when I am gone
[Narration:]
Dead London sighs dense anxiety out of black Westminster lungs full of sickness.
A decomposing clamber that infects his every puddle grazed foot foward, while the population dreams safely asleep...
3. The Actress
All the danger, Lies in you
This is not the beginning of the end
Confronting, confusing , distorting time
confronting, confusing distorting life
4. Vicarious Lover
I'm not myself
I am the actor
Waiting the cues
Unknown direction
From unknown directors
Actions that haunt
The invisible audience
See me, In the reflection
As I saw you
This distance means nothing
It has to be nothing
Final performance
Redefine the actions
Come back as a flower
Come back as a rose
Through the ageless void
Through the camera eye
We are all the same
I know and you know
This is rehearsed
This is rehearsed
[Narration:]
He travels by night, journeys without destination in cold buses and cold patrons without features He wonders if indeed they are anything like him without identity or soul, berift of purpose, condemned to exist in the small hours. Not real people at all, rats and maggots incapable of keeping the rhythm of humanity, sent alone to survive outside the hive. Distinct from the dealers, pimps, burglars and filth, at least they posess a crass purpose, fighting for urban surival amongst themselves.
Contaminating Lambeth street corners under pestilential night skies they retreat among dawn light bleeds through clouds and the city stirs from slumber.
5. Megan
I have no pride, I have no shame
Cold and lucid you are my dream
And I can not see my mistake.
I only see you.
fixate on your eye
Its you and its always been you
you breathe life into my illness
I penetrate
Like a forgotten ancient god
That remains hidden
Rotten
Diseased at the core
Unleashed set free
A poet hiding in the shadows
Of inspiration
(then I remember)
Dull footfalls from the halls
Step into the cold wet street
Megan
6. Imaginary Sketches Of A Poisoned Man
Now I have seen the inside
The ending of my life
The waves of a faded trance
They come emotionless like dreams
Broken dreams
Hypnotic her eyes
The beauty so defenceless
My jealous disgraced
Her beauty so negative
My jealousy deprived
Her jealousy so negative
My beauty disgraced
Her beauty so negative
My jealousy
7. The Antidote
Daring off the road
To go where no-one knows
Fading
She can not speak my name
I'm jealous of the rain
Falling
The blackness of her stare
Is poisoning the air
which were breathing
Behind distorted eyes
That which we despise
Loving
Daring off the road
To go where no-one knows
Fading
She can not speak my name
I'm jealous of the rain
When I'm falling
The blackness of her stare
Is poisoning the air
Which were breathing
Behind distorted eyes
That which we despise
Loving each other to death
Eyes diffused with
Mercury veins filled with
The impurity of lead
8. The Fucktrance
This is the final
Final portrait
Of the artist
No integrity left
Or forgiveness
Dependant on the value
She bestows on the ego
The poison reflects
The ultimate narcissist
When the taste of wine has gone
Narcissist
We drink dead waters
When there are no more words left to say
Only aching terrified sobs
Terrified sobs
I still taste you
On my lips
And on my fingers
The taste of you inside
It was but yesterday we met in dreams
9. Hourglass
Broken hours enter twine
Before words that can define
The shape of empty space
In shadows of nobel grace
Alter shape to disguise
Human form that we despise
Sadness we swallow whole
Is grief beyond control
We are the sex people
Fold your arms around the night
Breathe my dear you're slipping
Fall into the black of night
Tears are falling into the rain
LONDON speaks into the night
Take my hand and slip away
We are the sex people
10. The House Of Black Light
Enter the house
Of dismay
Perfect pentagram
Painted
On the ceiling
Light of the candles
Holes in the walls
Holes of terror
Shaping her mind
I've come to dominate
The house of black light
Where visions fade
And mirrors gleam
With disgust
They know my secrets
This dead house of despair
I've come to dominate
11. The Final Portrait Of The Artist
[Some narrations]
12. Last Train Victoria Line
I tread the archways
With violence and death
In my heart
I'm clutching
The broken flowers
You destroyed
Did you spread your legs for him
The way you do for me?
Did you gaze into his eyes
The way you gaze at me?
I heard the sirens
Of the abyss
When you caught my eye
There desolations
I faced with ease
Untainted bravery
Do you ever think of him
When you're here with me?
Do you ever picture him
When you're fucking me?
13. The Ultimate Narcissist
There is a sorry for his suffering
It grips him follows him
Through the streets of London
For without her
He is without god
You have to understand
I'm jealous of everything that moves
With obsession he takes her hand
There is a sorrow to his suffering
Through the streets of London
Detached from the banality of men
Who dwell in lesser ideals
Evoking s sense of her
Forming a diary of hate
You have to understand
I'm jealous of everything that moves
With desire
Encapsulates her
She deceived as much as she loved
But with just her step
He forgives
He wanted her for a lifetime
Left only with his hatred
No longer does He suffer
Residing deep within her
Yet when parted reduced to a nihilist
With obsession
He takes her hand
With desire
Encapsulates her
14. Cold Harbour Lane
Imprisoned souls
Left to walk
Abandoned roads
In the dark
In this cold hearted world
Empty and betrayed
Welcome to cold harbour lane
Sometimes its hard to live
With the choices we have made
By shutting yourself away
Insincere and insane
Something calls your name
Don't disregard the devils game
