Hell Two
Velvet Acid Christ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blood stained hands
Rust is eating my skin
The decay is clear as day
But no one sees decay
They all see roses and flowers
In a circle of showers
The dark hour approaches
In the locked mind
In which no light gets in
Where the red is redder
Where the red gets redder
Like a cut in your skin
Like gravel in your skin
Like a hemorrhage in your forehead
Like a broken blood vessel
That's leaking out your side
Like it's leaking on the floor
Like the lie
Like the lie
Zero gravity, I'm bleeding
Zero gravity, I'm bleeding
Zero gravity, I'm bleeding
Zero gravity, I'm bleeding
Zero gravity, I'm bleeding
In eyes, in rust
Decay and rust
In temporary, in sickness
In sickness, in sickness
Who is your eyes
Peel off your skin
Break the sound away
For another fucking day
Lost nights, lost days
Break away kiss the ground
Sigh
In faking, aching, breaking
Lying in vomit and piss
In the shotgun barrel we sit
Wait for another thousand years to get this
Kiss this
Fourteen days
And I lie it down
And it feels so bad
That you never get high
Feels insane as it cuts your skin
Blood and maggots crawl within
A life force ends
A notice on your back
Right across your neck
'cause I'm bleeding
A hemorrhage
In the same way
You never change
Same way you never change
Into your pain
After fourteen days




A million fucking ways
Sleep
