The Mercy Cage – Reunion lyrics

Celebration day
And yet again
I feel this small
She sets fire to the stars
She has come possessed

Structures collapsing
And I feel almost human again
Mad as birds
Shares my bed
Godhead bleeding through the walls
[Fucking on Prozac never seemed so pure]
Oh let it stain

And the flames lick higher
As the heat grows stronger
And I just feel dirty
It comes to nought and I suffer
Join the black celebration
Let the hate bite harder
Reunion
Let it stain...

Lost in the madhouse
She walks the tightrope of the nightmare again
Delusional, entrenched
Dulled by her will
And the tourniquet tightens...

As the flames lick higher
And the heat grows stronger
And I just feel dirty
It comes to nought and I suffer
Join the black celebration
Let the hate bite harder

Let it stain

She is the knife of mercy
She is the blade when all is right
And I am numbed by occasion
And I am bathed in the light
She says
"You were always a failure"
And she says
"You were never that good anyway"

Bodies entwined, flesh elastic
I lick the sweat off her skin
This is a trigger for the downside...

As the flames lick higher
And the heat grows stronger
And I just feel dirty
It comes to nought and I suffer
Join the black celebration
Let the hate bite harder
Reunion
Let it stain...

And the sane face etched
With the restless horror
As the inmates feint
It turns to smoke
As it lingers
Join the black celebration
Let the hate bite harder
Reunion
Let it stain...
