Barbed Wired Garden - Velvet Acid Christ

You know

It’s in the way you move

The way you look at me

The clarity I see

In how much hate you have

The fierceness in your hands

The twitching seething rage

All hidden under flesh

All waiting for a crack

A tiny suggestion

That this is how to play

In silence shoving down

But everyone can see

Now you’re desperate for a cure

For the chaos you’ve become

You know more than anyone

That I don’t know the way

Tiny space drilled in my chest

To wrestle weary hard

But nothing’s left inside this hole

No plan to find a missing part

You tore chunks out of it

And once just gave yourself away

And now you can’t embrace the cold

Can’t sleep at night

Can’t dream

Can’t wonder it

Can’t find the thing you truly crave

Instead giving it away

For something that you know

It’s in the way you speak

The way you tongue your words

The way you hide inside

A growth you call your flesh

Secure from all of us

A garden in your head

To grow a heart of pain

This is all that remains

It’s how you get by

It’s how you find your strength

In empty solitude

In quiet patient depths

«You weren’t conceived in love but in hate

I couldn’t wait to give you up

You’re an abomination (you're an abomination)

You should never have been born (you should never have been born…

never have been born)»

«Lies are like scars on your soul

They destroy you»

«We need something people can see

Visual… stimulation»

«Believe me there is nothing more stimulating than crazy people»

«If you look in the face of evil

Evil’s going to look right back at you»
