The following is really a darkwave song for my band -Of Dementia & Dreams, but I thougt it would be interesting to see reactions. It's a very metaphorical, symbolic song, so expect to say "huh?" a few times.
"Gothic Novel"
corrosion of this residence
neglectance rampant
your world falls apart
padlocked doors
blackened mask, fire
hate me, I adore you
adorn these tattered tapestries
with wilted flowers, all grey
this is a funeral for
humanity
there comes a tapping
at the door
wilt thou attend
to let me love it
black and white
I cannot avoid
wretched rook sits sulkily
*laugh*
came the passing of doves
came the screeching of bats
came never the wedding bells
dead to me is everything
lifless weeds upon the lattice
termites consume our every morsel
I adore this insanity
eminating from the skies, black rain
misguided arches, bricks of stone
mystery song
keep steel eyes away
from metaphorical whims
keep grey hearts warm tonight
