Death Portrait

Lorna Shore

Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Playing with the thought is exciting, enticing
These familiar voices become mesmerizing
Slicing and prying, manipulative conniving
Taken control of, bound to sacrificing

[Chorus 2]
My own two hands, the destroyer of man
I have become one with the damned

[Chorus 1]
Playing with the thought is exciting, enticing
These familiar voices become mesmerizing
Slicing and prying, manipulative conniving
Taken control of, bound to sacrificing

[Verse 1]
Unwanted intrusive thoughts beg for my decease
Tempting and captivating, with a horrific mental masterpiece
Murderous cinemas consume and flood consciousness
Overwhelmed by the urges and blind to consequence
Paint my death
I'm sick of these visions of taking my final breath

[Chorus 2]
My own two hands, the destroyer of man
I have become one with the damned
Mental masterpiece, unwanted and deadly
I have become one with the damned
[Verse 2]
Contorted casualty, a mangled masterpiece
Deformed decapitation, body mutilation
My dark head starts to drip on my hands
My hands have forsaken me
My dark head starts to drip on my hands
My hands have forsaken me

[Chorus 2]
My own two hands, the destroyer of man
I have become one with the damned
Mental masterpiece, unwanted and deadly
I have become one with the damned

*Guitar Solo*

[Verse 3]
Visions of apathy, a mangled masterpiece
My hands have forsaken, intrusive thoughts awaken
Tempting and captivating with a horrific mental masterpiece
Murderous cinemas consume and flood consciousness
Overwhelmed by the urges and blind to consequence
Paint my death
Murderous cinemas flood consciousness
Paint my death
My clouded head starts to drip its fucking dark matter on my forsaken hands
Forsaken hands
