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 shit 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.
