In solitude, soul...
Ten thousand nights alone


You claim an eternal soul
Where are you when you watch the box, when you watch
The wall?


Outside your circuitry, nerves crawling out of me
I've seen things you'll never know

Shared a bed in hell, in hatred of myself
Clawed my way back all alone


Your heaven is my hell, everything I hate most in
Myself I find embodied in you
Through each solitary night, every moment of my life

I plot to steal your throne
When I see all the %#@! you do
I can't put enough crime between myself and you

Blood and urine stain these streets where all my
Nightmares learned to breathe
Metropolis carved out of bone

What I need I'll take, I've got a lot at stake
Your heaven is my hell, everything I hate most in


Myself I find embodied in you
Every knife turned in my side, every moment of my life
I plot to steal your crown


Nights of desperation break on the shores of dawn
Solitude has seven skins, no one shall enter ever again

Feel the locusts inside me rising to a boil
Hum of the silence rises like a snake crawling down my
Throat

But your kisses leave toothmarks
Your embraces kill
You whispers linger inside my head

But I know if I taste your poison I'll never get my
Fill
Came to be in solitary, climbing the ranks of humanity

Choices I've made have isolated, but this is my reward:
I've been saving while you've spent
I've been sweating while you've slept

There's going to come a time
When I can call your empire
MINE.
