Devil And Water Lyrics

Artifex Pereo Devil And Water

Forget forgetfulness. You've made your way into my heart.
Like a pulse running through my veins,
I should never forget such vital things.
Loathing you proved to be inadequate,
so I will love you in my sleep and this will be less of a burden on me.
Breath colors and feel alive, you mendacious little girl.
You've crept onto the dance floor of a dangerous mind
and your pirouetting poison as fresh as the air it destroys;
A familiar decoy, but I feel this is the only way to keep you.
Is this the only way? With a pillow in hell to rest my head.
I am omitting the filial love I had for the original vision of you.
I'll watch you grow into a woman
and I will love you in my sleep so this will be less of a burden on me.
Twisted hearts, like strings split and tangled, leave thirst for serenity,
leading me to the only solution: to kill the regimen.
I will submerge my thoughts under water.
I'll show you a mind is less buoyant than a heart.
