lyrics

How many different masks and facades are hidden amongst all of these ends and odds? Buried at the bottom of bedside drawers where Y marks the spot and X's are flawed. Because your petty attempts at poetics and prose have been shameless and empty, not courageous or bold. So despite the lies the horse's mouth may have sold, the only thing you're entitled to is being alone.

You may be searching for someone who'll bend at the knee, in awe of your feigned might and majesty. Well it's a pipe dream; a love that will never be, born in the shadow of the guillotine. Because unrequited lust will never be reason enough to hang her for treason or burn her to dust. So take a look in the mirror and see what you've become; not a knight of the round, just an insatiable hound looking down on the world through a floor made of glass, where a woman's only worth are her tits and her ass. Another relic of the olden days dipped in brass. The sermon on the mount at your midnight mass.

How many different masks and facades are hidden amongst all of these ends and odds? Buried at the bottom of bedside drawers where women are marked as nothing but whores. Well, you should open your eyes because there's plenty of proof that you're miles and miles from the fucking truth. And though the bad moons may never stop rising, it's no excuse to abuse privileges that were handed to you.

Maybe you should be afraid of the crown you're bound
to abdicate to a world that has come to hate all the insufferable bullshit you've left in your wake. Because the wool that you pulled over all our eyes has been torn to pieces and left atop the wall as a sign that no royal order or king's decree will save you from the centuries suffered by your new liege.

All bad moons will wane.
