lyrics

“You never know the capabilities of man, until he is plagued with an overwhelming desire to be in someone else's skin. To really get inside another being, feel the warmth of their blood coursing your veins. To have their spit moisten your own pallet. Most people’s urge to steal the air from different lungs subsides. While others won’t be truly fulfilled until they become another. This is your night. You are my Jane Doe.”

I wear this heart upon my throat
there’s a way you move that keeps me coming this way
for it’s the innocence that you radiate
that helps me steal your shadow
if the land were to ever part us
I’ll bring the water to wash you to me
I’ve got the taste from the scent
you will become a part of me
I’ll steal your tongue before I use your prints
I will wear your eyes one last time
I’m coming to patch up my holes and make you my own skin
the truest form of love you can always wear
you’ve been my vision for so long
they say forget not your first love
I say remember your very first kill
for there’s beauty in devastation
and nothing wrong with a man taking pleasure in his work
without loss you’ll never find another one
now with you, I'll never be alone
‘California, tell your people to stay away and don’t come in here’
the first time is always the hardest
next time will be easier
she will stay inside on all of me
she’ll be the passion on all my walls
