The Jericho Protocol

Darkness in me; contorts me to break
Beyond the veil past mirrors, unseen
I think there’s something wrong with me
Collapsing are my memories

We can tangle with devils in the white moonlight
Until it all obliviates
Oh, honey

(Heaven is a place where we go to die; I don’t want to die)
Dance with me
Stay with me
Fall with me
And bury me

(Die and reset; I die and reset)
My bleeding eyes
Count the times they’ve watched me die

(How many times have I broken my mind?)
Kill me slowly endlessly
The shadows dance; they’re goring me

Dance with me
Stay with me
Fall with me
Bury me

How can I be so wrong
To want my love with me?
I won’t be chained to a realm that favours
Burying your pain
I see my scarlet red streak
From the blood they’ve spilled
If they won’t let me tend your wounds
I’ll burn their kingdom down

Won’t you dance with me?
Won’t you stay with me?
Won’t you fall with me?
I won’t let them bury me

(Heaven is a place where we go to die)
(I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of losing you or losing my)
Dance with me
Stay with me
Fall with me
And bury

I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more to come back home to you

So you can watch me fall
From your forgiving arms
Limb and soul I tore
Watch your heaven collapse
I am your daughter no more
Initiate the protocol

Heaven is a place where we go to die
I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of losing you or losing my mind

The last thing I see is your face
As my mind falters and begins to break–
