Obsequiarch - Boys Night Out

«Go on ahead,» she said.

«Love will meet you there

Be steadfast, swift, safe and self-assured.»

«So long,» She said and set it all adrift

I swear, bad luck and longing are a lonely pair

Whose hollow little white lies light the room

Skin, muscle, and bone all die on their own

Enter beating heart (Enter beating heart)

To send blood to the source as veins steady the course

It’s an Obsequiarch leading a march

Of cold, cowardly cells.

«Tell nobody else about the story arc.»

Sigh, say goodnight, be nearby

Beyond the bed, I leapt, fled, and found myself

Untethered attempts to resuscitate

Were met with a deafening tone, wait, recalibrate

Wait, nothing, wait, stop, it’s the only way

Hollow little white lies lined the room.

«It's too soon.»

Skin, muscle, and bone all die on their own

Enter beating heart (Enter beating heart)

To send blood to the source as veins steady the course

It’s an Obsequiarch leading a march

Of cold, cowardly cells.

«Tell nobody else about the story arc.»

Sigh, say goodnight, be nearby

Oh the horror, oh the horror

At night-time stars align and the tide rolls out to sea

I’m barely alive

At night-time I’m colour-blind

So I don’t know where I’ve been or how I survived

The night-time drank me dry

Now I’m drowning but I’ve never felt so alive

It’s night-time all the time

At the bottom where the dead lay but I am alive

It’ll come for you

Oh, the horror

Oh, the horror when it comes for you
