Decadent Advent

Everybody come on over tonight
We have gathered together
Oh, that’s right
Sit tight, one and all
So let us start!

This is our advent

Sleep with the enemy

We draw each other’s breaths
Sharing the last gasp
Yet only I can smell the bile
A rose by any other name

Bow your head but not in shame
On and on, pretend you’re my flame

The bitter nectar
It’s only decadent if you say so
From the corner of my eye
Beneath the joyless sky
I only never needed you

Welcome to the end
Light a candle and smile
Life’s too short, and you’re too young
So step right up and dance for a while!

Welcome to the end
On this decadent night
One year older, one year closer
Celebrate your fading smile

Every kiss is a promise lost
Every lover is an enemy uncrossed
Sleep with the enemy
We sleep in enmity
Pick a God and pray

The bitter nectar
It’s only decadent if you say so
From the corner of my eye
I sense the joyless sky
I only never needed you
