Polymath Lyrics

Hyper-Real

Which side of me shall I be?
Rise of the savage
My high anxiety could use a vacation
The secret hate metropolis
About devastation
Don’t hold back from the intimate sweat
Be a real man

I will always adore you my child
You’re my cocaine, you’re my hyper-real
Can I forgive what you did when you said,
“God does not exist. He does not exist”?
Can you find it in your heart to hold me a little closer/tighter
When I cry my last tear on your shoulder?
Would you keep me safe in your womb
Now I’ve built my church on the strength of my fear?

Aphrodesia drawing power
A stronger union
The process of beating it out of you
Rise to addiction
I have to be who I am
Profoundly influential
You know we are a symphony
Just eternal lovers

 

Devilette

My love I cannot wait for you to murder me
My love beneath the roses won’t you bury me?

Prey tell the majesty surrounds me like shadow
Give to me this jewel of the shadows
Unquestioningly my Rubenesque devilette
She comes to me

My love I cannot for you to murder me
My dear in a flower bed you’d bury me
We lie under the stars I’d watch you for eternity

Prey tell your scent on the breeze
My sculptress and socialite
I see your skin in the moonlight
A lie, my Rubenesque devilette
She comes to me

The sun and the stars forgive my life sins
I come without any pardons
For now my Rubenesque devilette
Will you forgive me?

I’d torture the world to watch you undress
As you smoke your last cigarette
A lie, my Rubenesque devilette
She comes to me

 

This Way Lies Ruin

A modern cathedral form under threat
I respond to things I never forget
A lifetime of stories inside a little black book
A love that dared not adore

The DNA of Dietrich
Angels of subculture
The message is in the gesture
Feel the drain
It’s a work of darkness
It’s all the same

The simple pleasure of time is not my story to tell
Switch off the phone, unleash the hounds of hell
Shapeshifters mock the opulent
Dark slutty behaviour, we’ll take you there

The new erotic affection
Euphoria in motion
Threatened by my opinion
Tension drop away
Gone is the lust for fame
It’s all the same

 

One Of God’s Own Prototypes

The poison of the unknown
The flowers bloom
Do I hate it here?
Pass this concept by
The fall of grace

The way we live now
A time obliterated by obsession
Accept His absence
The insights
Discover the truth

 

Counterfeit Insurrection

Natural born defence my friends
A warning from the sun is the West
Pound of flesh becomes a feast
Raconteur becomes me

A moment of indecision
It happened quite by accident
Believe divine inspiration
Counterfeit insurrection

Fear of death, the mother and the beast
It’s nature, it’s power, it’s dragging me under
It’s over for me

A moment of indiscretion
It happened quite by accident
Believe divine inspiration
Counterfeit insurrection

 

The Vessel Through Which It Passes

Don’t wait for me there
Because I won’t be there
I crawl down
I’ll take them all down

Remember us there
And how we once were
All smiles
We couldn’t care less

Tell them all there
Tel them tales of tragedy and revenge
From the heart that breaks apart
On my command

Before you go carry your soul
Way down

As the empire fell
And civilisation fell
As the apocalypse came
The last gift of a broken man
To the world he loved
Was fear, hate and revenge
