Oneiroid Psychosis - Stillbirth

SUCCUBI
- words by Leif
This is a pretty straightforward fantasy about, as you might guess, succubi.

In darkest night, in cold moonlight
While I'm asleep, they visit me
Hypnotized by dreams of sin
Tongues like fingers caress my skin
Their kisses drain away my life
My blood leaks out into the night
A mutual need for this ecstasy
They give me pleasure, they take my seed



BLOODLUST
- words by Leif
I once dreamed that I was visited at night in my bed by a woman. We kissed, and she began to nip at my neck. In my heightened passion I gave her permission to bite me as hard as she liked, and she sank her teeth deep into my flesh. When she pulled away, my blood was running down her chin and neck, and flowing over my shoulders and chest. She looked shocked at what she'd done, and though it hurt, I wanted her to do it again. I woke up, and wrote this song that day.

Soft skin yields to teeth in flesh
Bleeding life, sucking death
Smooth skin splits for teeth in flesh
Sucking life, bleeding death
Swallowing blood, running red
Spills down the neck, spreads on the bed
I sink my teeth into meat
I sink my teeth, I sink my meat
Face to face, chest to chest
I inhale your last breath



PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS
- words by Lars

I stand over you
You gaze into the sky
A dull and blank stare
My thoughts intensify
I reach out and touch your skin
A lifeless human, a total submission
The taste of flesh as I kiss
Cold dry lips



PRURIENCE
- words by Leif
This song is simply about the constant need for sex, even against one's better judgment. It can be terribly distracting.

Reject, regret, animal magnet
Binding perversion, physical immersion
Objective deception
Subjective perception
Sensation pursued
Mind removed
Emotions agitate, driven to fornicate
Sweet submission, unnatural condition



MENARCHE
- words by Lars

I descend to take in by the tongue
A metallic taste
Thick red drips off my chin
I greet this human waste
I spread, it drains
The discharge of blood
The pleasure of its smell
In my mouth it floods
I suck out the degeneration of womb
It clogs my nostrils, it dries in my hair
My treasure in bloom
In attempt to conceive
I swallow the gift I've received



MIND'S I
- words by Leif
This is an expression of the desire just to know oneself, and the truth about the purpose of life, in an individual as well as general sense. The inability to answer some of these profoundly important yet very simple questions can be intensely frustrating.

My mind's eye is searching for something
Something deeper than what it sees
My mind's eye is searching for something
Something deeper than what it feels
Hands in the dirt and eyes to the sky
The silent prayers receive no reply
Hands in the dirt and eyes to the sky
The silent screams receive no reply
There must be something deeply
Something deeply wrong
There must be something deeply
Something deeply wrong with me



FLESHMACHINE
- words by Leif
Here I was exploring the relationship between the body and the mind. Is there a "soul"? What might it be? If it is my own essence, why can I not comprehend it or even define it? Am I a fool to ask unanswerable questions?

Lifemachine, fleshmachine
I cling to you, you cling to me
Wanting to seek, wanting to hide
It's making me sick inside
Tomorrow is no different than today
Today's the same as yesterday
Fleshmachine, deathmachine
Are you everything I've ever been?
Noone to blame, I can't decide
I make myself sick inside
To try, to fail
To try to fail
To fail to try



HYPNOGOGIC EXISTENCE
- words by Lars
This song is a about the moment occurring just before sleep and being stuck in that moment forever.

Slip from reality
Physical senses fade
Thought becomes reality
Experience is mind made
Dreaming perpetually
Existing infinitely
A state of being
A continuation
Assimilation
Mental comprehension
Living infinitely
Dying perpetually
Feeling everything
Touching nothing
Becoming everything
Become nothing



MOTIONLESS
- words by Lars

I feel like dying
My body is dying
The will is weak
My life slowly seeps
Forever I'll sleep
Withering flesh
With dirt I'll mesh
They've placed me deep
Forever I sleep
