Ancient Adolescents

I'm alone in this sea of children
My glare meets their gaze
Faded future
If I could crawl inside
Their pimpled shells and hide
Relive the glory through new eyes

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naive tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Will you be my host
To this dying ghost?

I'm lonely
Will you hold me?
So sacred and holy

I want to feel your skin prickled from new pain
Before it fades - worn and stained

What doesn't kill me makes me sicker
I pray that I die that much quicker
But before I do
Let me bleed into you

Let our teeth gnash, our bodies thrash
Our virgin skin enraptured in trash

There's no bite to my teeth
No leaves in my wreath
I've wandered this earth
Seeking rebirth
Drink me in for all I am worth

Let me take on my new form
Share your flesh while it's wet and warm
If I could crawl inside
Your pimpled shells and hide
Relive the glory through new eyes

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naive tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Dreams paralyzed
Let me feed
Let me breathe
Through your supple lungs
Speak with your naive tongues
Rejoice in disgust

Will you be my host
To this dying ghost?
Let me fester
Let me mold
Let me sink into your soul

Youth
Give me youth
Give me your first kisses
And I will give my
Last dying breath

Memories of lullabies
The thrill of being terrified
Child, let me be your parasite
