The Birthday Massacre

♥

Tighten your tie boy
You're something to die for
But don't hold your breath now
You're just killing time
Tonight you can dream boy
Imagine a whisper
If you can keep secrets
Then I'll tell you mine.

Remember a promise you couldn't hold on to
Though it brings me to tears now i need you to know
Look in my eyes boy
Nothing like yours now
It seems that a lifetime
Is passing us by.

So open your eyes...

This is forever but it won't last long
This is a memory that fades away in neverending
In the death of all that's long been said and done before,
We'll wish that we were something more.

Stop wasting time boy
You're late all your life boy
They won't have the patience
For someone like you
Your memory's fading
I'll love you forever
I'll try to remember
I'll try to hold on

You're standing alone boy
Waiting for dreams boy
Waiting for something
To make them come true
Don't ever leave boy
I'd miss you too much boy
I'll never forget you
As long as I'm here

First place on a classroom wall.
Every turn of the face can help to break the fall from a domestic disgrace.
Every rumour displaced is lost and found.
A lack of discipline.
One hand to cut the other.
So unprofessional, you're not a friend, you're just a lover.
Nothing exceptional.
This is correctional.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.

First day in a victim's chair.
Every surface replaced can help to keep you fair for a corrected gaze.
Every feature displayed will match your crowd.
A loss of innocence.
One hand to wash the other.
Be a perfectionist, you're nothing if you're just another. Something material.
This isn't personal.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.

we're all dancing to the same sad song.
And we're not sleeping, but it won't take long.
Illicit conviction.
Confessions incomplete.
Correction.
Submissive restriction.
Instructions will repeat.
Direction.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.

Farewell, this blackened eye.
You learned your lessons falling down, far behind, and tracing footsteps home.
Despite your lack of pride, you wore your imperfections well. Dignified.
Spend your time alone.
Trace your footsteps home.

Your hands are always reaching out of favour.
Your kind are only good for bad behaviour.
Your mouth was never one to trust.
You're always speaking out, falling far behind, falling out of line.

Farewell, this bitter tongue.
You spoke your lessons falling down, talking out, and breaking silence.
Despite the harm you've done, you swallowed your rejections well.
Amplified.
Sing your song alone.
Trace your footsteps home.
