was the water warm? tell me by the shore with your arms wrapped around me there's a calming storm where my sisters burned you'll never hear them crying my flaw is that I forgive you I will miss you all's lost, without a purpose I feel restless and I will wait to be there again I can't undo the tension misery me, i'm still incomplete so I will keep you on the surface I will never leave my closed doors open cause it must be that nothing is right nothing is right about me no i cannot tell if you're the one that I like (be humble my child, you're in the presence of time) so it must be that nothing is right about me there's a sudden urge to feel the worst i'm all about disaster it's alarming to risk losing you i never thought you'd matter my flaw is that i'm obsessive i'm a death wish all's lost without a purpose I feel restless and I will wait to be there again I can't undo the tension misery me, i'm still incomplete so I will keep you on the surface I will never leave my closed doors open cause it must be that nothing is right about me now i'm tearing at the seams picture it clean I know I tore you somewhere in between

Bleak Future 03:44
facing the coffin's dreams we celebrate with grief smother the bells with rust and bask in ancient lust I feel the years consuming (I feel the years) I see the sun diluting (I see the sun) I know my demon's resurrecting to draw its presence when I call you by name I wonder what I would say how do I explain before it happens to you or me? and you can forget me waking the morning tomorrow is certain the future is bleak conjured by the hands of greed the ceremony's weaved lovers in the fountain burn the contours of the earth suffer through the centuries passed you would never stand a chance I know my demon's resurrecting I know my demons my palms are crumbling up (crumbled up) the lines have shown us enough (shown us enough) horizons inching away in ruins we have no place we have no place

this is the daunting charm of love after dark a familiar pace abandoned by the heart and when the curtains drawn do we still fear the way it longs? lead the cadence of our graves in ceremonial serenades promises lost in the apocalypse my flowers are blooming all that remains of this paradise is blessed on our lips this is the daunting charm of love after dark a familiar pace abandoned by the heart and when the curtains drawn do we still fear the way it longs? carry the plate of fantasies oh, serve it to the plague of destiny promises lost in the apocalypse (all my secrets will reveal the end) my flowers are blooming all that remains of this paradise (all my trust is tainted) is blessed on our lips my flowers spread darkness misfortune, the ace of spades ceremonial serenades promises lost in the apocalypse my flowers are blooming all that remains of this paradise is blessed on our lips promises lost in the apocalypse the choir rejoices

phased by the moon as it phases through migraines watch it wrap the ocean's body in waves she says innocence will fade as you age but nobody told me how tragedy craves in the absence of light I've forgotten my baby's name some nights I just wish it away with violet in my eyes and a softened face with a hunger for life (it's just a matter of time) before I call it mine phased by the moon as it phases through migraines watch it wrap the ocean's body in waves she says innocence will fade as you age but nobody told me how tragedy craves in the absence of light I remember everything some part of me clings to a part of me lost but we both know that it's never enough she says innocence will fade as you age but nobody told me that tragedy stays in the absence of light i've forgotten my baby's name she says innocence will fade as you age now the body awaits (somebody you love was birthed in your pain) she holds hands with the devil and paints a portrait named after all your mistakes nobody told me that tragedy stays nobody told me

playing a part in your own distractions with conversations that never happened i'm only looking to soothe the rug burns from when I had first met you oh the gravity of hurt has turned in deep it never happens to you like it does to me you'll notice when we meet that I drew your conclusion so long ago and I know it never had to look like this we look for answers in the sky look the mirror in the eyes like it does to me the seasons seem to miss that I drew your conclusion so long ago and I know it never had to come to this the flaws that we've denied sink like marbles through the seams how could you be so blind? (here where the planets speak through me) when they come knocking in your dreams

the grapes, since nightfall, have dried up like skin exhaustion and famine this harvest will give my soul aligns to your voice though I have heard it wrong before we're talking at the same time let's call it a night we like it better when we wait we like it better when it taints some find it hard to demonstrate one day there will be strife when we bear the shame of love one day I will resign but my heart will ponder on until you give it a break since nightfall, we've dried up like skin you're just as disgusting as I've always been your soul is ice and it's thawing out the taste of your words we will feed ourselves i wish i could die

(i've reached a point of no return in sadness i sin for you in sadness i sin for two) there's not a moment in my life when I can't sense the way it affects me moments in my life where I reflect on how i'm unlearning love i use to push it away and it can take some time for us to see the stains it's you and I alone, the night we kiss goodbye tell me a lie (there's a blemish in my heart, being with you) I have gone too far in a field of fire I'm tempted by a passion's loss find it in doubt when i'm holding onto you I saturate I so selfishly left a mess for you to keep from me there's not a moment in my life when I can't sense the way it affects me moments in my life where I can rest in somebody else's bed and it can take some time for trust to resonate there's not a moment in my life when I can't sense the way it affects me moments in my life where I reflect there's not a moment in my life when I can't sense the way it affects me moments in my life where I can rest and it goes on and on and on..

Crowned Fool 02:59
I know you still see me the way I use to I'm crowned the fool of reason with every move I don't care if it lost a meaning it never had one for sure the other side is all deceiving and we're all vessels to burn I know you don't see me the way I do I'm crowned the fool of reason when I'm with you what's behind the disguise? I'm still looking for mine for once I want it just to be (even though I keep denying and denying)

Nowhere 03:55
we've been cast adrift along the tide shallow breaths and memories alive voices fading, further away tonight will be the night, I will be erased I'll go nowhere with you it's too dark to be true I've been waiting for you to show me an ending I've already seen how our lives have reached a new disorder the complications are getting older this kind of place is too familiar to me it lost the power to keep my troubles at ease I wanna know if here is where all the ends meet every night I recite a spell to bring you back to life you know it's too late i need a cure for my existence it's times like this I'd second guess it but i'll go nowhere with you I need to know if this is where we're meant to be forever it's nowhere with you (do you believe in omens?) I've been waiting for you to tell me we're nothing is this how it should be? you call to ask why I still bother the conversation is getting older this kind of look is too familiar to be it lost the power to keep my troubles at ease I wanna know if you've been thinking of me every night I recite a spell to bring you back to life you know it's too late i need a cure to feel the distance it's times like this I'd second guess it but i'll go nowhere with you I've been ready to leave this all behind I don't know how to deal with my emotions yet but they're nowhere with you (do you believe in omens?)

Deep End 02:58
I get closer to the deep end wondering could you ever tell a void from a body? a body that is unbecoming and I can lose it when I know I want it, I want it so bad I can't speak I want you, I want you so bad to drown me I get closer to the deep.. try not to follow me it's a force that wants to take me under to a conscious surrender I want it, I want it so bad to be clear I want you, I want you so bad to drown here here i'm just hanging in the deep end I get closer to the deep end wondering what's become of me? a body that is unbecoming and I can lose it when I know

about

The Bedroom Witch Los Angeles, California

Cast as the misunderstood maker of the veil, the Bedroom Witch lyrically chants spells alluding to an inevitable apocalypse while embodying the creative exhaustion of isolation. Her aesthetics build on dark pop ballads, an ominous execution of chord progressions through mysterious allure and a danceable haunting that produces the nostalgic agony of Hell/Limbo theories ... more
