The Black Dahlia Murder Miasma歌詞
1.Flies

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

Down, start digging down your throat
Another string of lies is born
You must exemplify perfection
Bronzing a broken life of shit

You filthy liar
Septic tongue, shit eating grin
Slow internal suicide
An inch within a trigger's pull again
This disease it is your mainstay
It wears its wires within me

Tender tissues scraped away
Of secrets etched in nameless graves
The smell of vomit hangs in the air tonight
Blush, eyeliner, lipstick it's all alright tonight

You filthy liar
Septic tongue, shit eating grin
Love me with your yellowed smile
My flies are hungry for your kiss

Poison me my darling
Graves grow deeper with each passing day
This appalling love bask in your putrid revelry
Beauty lost in between the lashes of sick drunken eye

Like a fool, you have believed
Life of shame
You have fallen completely beneath

And when the curtains finally part
You'll see that everyone is laughing
I am weakness just like you
I'll bury you before you're dead

Cockroach come crawling home, crawl
Slithering through this world of sculpted shit
So thrust those fingers deep my child
It is your burden and your gift

You filthy liar
Septic tongue, shit eating grin
Slow internal suicide
An inch within a trigger's pull again

Poison me my darling
Graves grow deeper with each passing day
This appalling love bask in your putrid revelry


2.I'm Charming

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

Yeah, I'm running off the rails
I've finally gone crazy
And the ground is spinning faster
Than my teeth could ever grind

I know it's a shame
When success does complain
But I don't remember my name
In the absolute wrong

I have made this place to lay my head
A reoccurring nightmare
I never trust, I never rest
I've become another victim
Of this self-serving device

My cock does all the talking
My mouth now just for lie
I'm winding down to nothing
It's suddenly so clear
I'm winding down to nothing

A human smoke that fills the air
What can you believe?
That is the question
I have you on a string
Something yet up my sleeve

Bury me deep as I have an unborn child
In a world yet cold enough to host
This seed of endless ugliness
In a sea of corruption

A wake of lie so wildly I have stirred
I'm winding down to nothing
It's suddenly so clear
I'm winding down to nothing

A human smoke that fills the air
What can you believe?
That is the question
I have you on a string
Something yet up my sleeve

My love is but a lie
Always reaping what I have sown
I'm taking you down with me
To degrees you'll never know


3.Dave Goes To Hollywood

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

We of blood frozen, so thick it cannot thaw
Joints lubricated by sweet alcohol
Liver dissolving, eyelids but heavy sheets
Ignorant bliss and the bloodshot secrets it will keep

Pills if you wouldn't mind
Clouds of vapor to stretch out the miles
Hung over we'll greet a certain death
With flash of chipped tooth smile

Each cities secrets buried beneath
In this campaign of vice, drinking song's a reprise
A slow blur existence, wading knee deep in sin
Clutch at the ulcer, acknowledge the frailty within

At dawn we begin again

You who have never seen your breath
Only you're alive
When the mitten clenches in a fist
Then I'll kiss this fucking world goodnight

Destroyer, my only keeper
I kneel unto your Amber gates
Pray you'll kill the ugliness
That sleep won't take away

Free drinks, they shall not kill us
They only warm our fucking bones
But late at night, I can't forget your laugh
And everything I used to know

But I've never seen so many faces
And I've never felt this all alone
Well, I guess this is what I've always wanted
A four-wheeled coffin to call home

I will not ask another name
Disappearing faster than they came
Are you having fun?
Are you entertained?

Another heart-shaped bruise
Another friend back home I'll lose
Am I missing something?
What is left to prove?

Another heated first name fuck
Another stroke of dead man's luck
Another year I can't replace
Another tear sent down her face

At dawn we begin again
Tune of death shall bring an end

You who have never seen your breath
Only you're alive
When this mitten clenches in a fist
I'll kiss this fucking Hell goodnight

Destroyer, my only keeper
I kneel unto your Amber gates
Pray you'll kill the ugliness
That sleep won't take away


4.Spite Suicide

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

Terror be thy name
Burning thine bridge
And death the same

A year to drain my innocence
And course it through
Your blackened veins

Oh, Demoness
What has our daughter become?
(Oh, Demoness)

Trash for the maggots to eat?
What color eyes should be
Staring at me in my dreams?

Abomination born in this union of hate
(Killed in the name of the free)
And of our son to the sickle he clung
A featureless face for your nightmarish dreams

Dilate, extract
Dilate and bury it all

Mother, vampiric mistress of night-fed blood
Who pets her child's head from a grave

(Demon)
Enchantress of evil profound
Dead and nameless, dead
(A noose to choke the memories from me)

Addicted to those forbidden hands
Thrust deep inside her helpless hull

(Scrape)
Scrape it all away
Vacuum these pictures from my brain
Scrape it all away

How I shall laugh once you have died?
How I will sleep once you've been destroyed?
(Destroyed, destroyed, destroyed, destroyed)

Dilate, extract
Dilate and bury it dead

Mother, vampiric mistress of night-fed blood
Who pets her child's head from a grave

(Demon)
Enchantress of evil profound
Dead and nameless, dead
(A noose to choke the memories from me)

Dead


5.Miscarriage

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

The language of the lie
Barbed and callous tongues shall lick
Behind the thinnest doors
A web of falsehood so unfolds

Humility
Pride dissected, maliciously
A mockery
Bonds dissolve in endless mimicry

Cruelly illuminated
Subject of shallow spectacle
Inherent weaknesses revealed
Contact withers to a lull

Once perfect pictures
Now stained with fingerprints
Tragedy fucks jealously
The human heartstrings bend and break

Vultures with human eyes
Can you feel them circling?
Prey on tender moments
The failures of purest dream

Our selfish means
Are the means to this fucking end
A knife for every spine
Of every blood

Nails scratching into the flesh
Until the fibers are broken
Something's got to give

The bottoms of bottles
No longer ease the pain
And the bathroom mirror
Reflects the face of autonomy

Man must invert
Internalize the pain
Sequence replays in the mind
The human heartstrings bend and break

Vultures with human eyes
Can you feel them circling?
Prey on tender moments
The failures of purest dream

Our selfish means
Are the means to this fucking end
Alright, knife for every spine
Of every man, of every man

Lot of the ugly answers
Lie somewhere in between
Intrinsic disregard
The burden of weakness

They're sharpening
The knives are always sharpening
A life now stained with fingerprints
Something's got to give


6.Statutory Ape

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

This is a reckoning
A cliched cut of lying tongue
Revenge never goes out of style

Gorilla honing trigger, finger that makes gorilla man
Ingrained, there's hate within us all

Spiraling I've lost my footing once again
I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust

When life holds nothing sacred
When the loveless turn to loathe
We'll witness this final threatened pose

Oh, mother war
Sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love

This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born

Of vengeance we are born
To our graves these grudges shall be sworn

Behold the death of emotions never mourned
We'll die before we crawl
Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet

Hail, gorilla suffocate, gorilla maim
An education in howling
Ministers of death, we'll be praying
Praying for this bullet, hail

Gorilla suffocate, gorilla maim
An education in complete misanthropy

Oh, mother war
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love

This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born

Oh, mother war
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning

Of vengeance we are born
To our fucking graves these grudges sworn
Forever forever


7.Miasma

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

In between, insidious vapor shall teem
Looming so loathsome
And it seems to me like I'm dead inside
Bloated corpse, propped out of tradition

I can never recall what it was
I had ever to strive for as a youth
Was it just to exist, autonomously?

No, we don't wanna work
We just wanna fuck
Swallow pills and forget our curses
No, we don't need pigs like you
We'll follow the laws of our emptying veins

In this world of nothing for me
I'd be sooner destroyed
Vampire youth, raise your cups
To the ne'er waning moon
Let its visage ring true

To the hearts cold and blue
We're dying each moment, free
We're all animals here
Flesh and blood, bone and dream

We're just impulses here
Another piece of shit in the storm
Just another piece of shit, shit

From the smelling of things
It appears this shit has come to a boil
The night time we shall rule as our own

While the hollow shall sleep
We shall bark at the moon
In this world of nothing for me
I'd be sooner destroyed

In this world there is nothing for us
But the sound, but the sound
Vampire youth, raise your cups
To the ne'er waning moon
Let its visage ring true

To the hearts cold and blue
We're dying each moment
We'll never sleep again

We'll be going fucking mad
Sin and hell is all we will ever know
Just another piece of shit


8.A Vulgar Picture

作詞:Brian Eschbach, Zach Gibson, John Kempainen, David Lock,
Trevor Strnad

Now the funeral grounds are at last awash
With the blackness of this frigid autumn night
I've lurked into the graveyard with pick and spade in tow
This night shall birth forth our reckoning
Hell's jaws now open wide

A stare to pierce six feet of soil
A love beyond this mortal coil

As though you'd never left my side
I hold your stiffened body so close to me
For years I've lived in a dream
Awake, I felt as dead as my cold and bloodless bride to me

I can barely suppress my elation
My blood is racing as I strike the lid
A quick pry of the casket reveals her body, paralyzed
So long I've waited for this moment to thrust my fingers deep
inside

Now you will sing the song of the deceased
The ones whose souls will never rest in peace

The throes of necromantic lust possess my mind
Cries of my precious frozen angel beckon from inside
I feel alive! For once I'm feeling so alive
My skin is crawling, I'm completed on this resurrection night

From this night achieved a morbid truth
Love's bounds post-mortally removed

As though you'd never left my side
I hold your stiffened body so close to me
For years I've lived in a dream
Awake, I felt as dead as my cold and bloodless bride to me

In rapture, my mind is lured by my own knife
To join this fragile being who sleeps below
The reflection of a razor reveals the moon, so perfectly
Along my impatient veins its steel does graze
With the kiss of suicide

I feel no pain as I am entwined with my lovely bride
The silk lining now stained with my offering
I embrace the end of my now worthless life

Well that was interesting or that was disgusting
It's your call


9.Novelty Crosses

作詞:Brian Garrett Eschbach, Zachary Alexander Gibson, John
Kempainon, David Russell Ian Lock, Trevor Scott Strnad

Eyes of perfect ivory
Match the sweetest lengths of her neck
I am but a stain to such holy fabrics
Darwin's proposals bouncing back from colored glass

Serpents will guide me to your hull
Slithering between the pews of pearl
And walk a path of purity and temporary grace
Whatever it may take to eat and drink of you till slaked

To run a gloveless finger up
Curvaceous trembling leg, we mustn't wait
The fruits of tragedy we'll taste
I'll be Adam and you'll be Eve, we'll fuck and so create

I'm being strangled by his statue
If only his cold eyes could weep for these things that should
not be
Father, I've been sinning
I've pulled a fast one, the perfect sleight of fate

Goddamn girl
Like an hourglass, I'll invert you
The higher powers shuddering
At what you have become

The laws of science abandoned
Thrust into Purgatory
Mary you've never looked so tender, I will you statues
Here to take a breath of life and look upon

Her virgin skin raised in anticipation
The dark has won
My darkness has won again

What is truth? I cannot yet discern
Kneeling in hope of reprimand
This father's love shall not within me flow
I've fallen to my knees in hollow prayer

How original a sin
We'll fuck and so create
And burn this planet in our wake

I'm being strangled by his statue
If only his cold eyes could weep for these things that should
not be
Father, I've been sinning
I've pulled a fast one, the perfect sleight of fate

Goddamn girl
Like an hourglass, I'll invert you
The only Heaven, I will know is heaving
'Neath the buttons of your blouse

We'll be immortal
A most blessed union of lust
The flames of Hell shall lick our coat-tails
As we feast of infinity's bust


10.Built for Sin
