Chelsea Wolfe - Pain Is Beauty Album Lyrics

Run from the light
Your eyes, black like an animal
Deep in the wander
And care for no one but the offspring of your might
Run from the one who comes to find you
Wait for the night that comes to hide

Your eyes black like an animal
Black like an animal

Crossing the water
Lead them to die

We press for the water, press for the river, press for the rain
We press for the water, press for the river, press for the pain

we hit a wall when we were young
we'd given up
we were never taught
when we were young we did ignore
it was so cold
we were never warned
we never were

how is it the world
how is it the one
how is this the world
how is this the one

we hit a wall when we were alone
we didn't know how to control
no one ever told
i showed you how to hold my hand
and kiss me slow and unending

i'll show you how to love
(an endless war)

how is this the world
how is this the one
how is this the world
how is this the one

you put the pill inside the petal
you put the petal in your mouth
you put your love inside the metal
you build the metal for your house
and the night runs wild

you put the pill inside the petal
and it runs white
you put the petal in your mouth
you put your blood into the metal
and it runs white
you build the metal for your house

you put the pill inside the metal
you put the metal in your mouth
you bleed into your house of nettles
you bleed the night without a sound

there's an ocean inside your chest
we've been sleeping inside your head
there's an ocean inside your chest
we've been sleeping inside your hand

the saw in the hands it's white as snow
the heavy endless weight on my heels it's cold
the water on my head but i won't speak of you
the hall and the rack and the wheel, it's true

and when it turns the hole in my vision fills with you

the cold and the loud and they won't let me sleep
i've been dragged on the floor and
my blood earns my keep
my body holds a picture of the sun – it's you
the warden bore a hole in my skull, it's true
tore off my limbs and my breasts
the heart it's heavy in the chest

and when it turns the hole in my vision fills with you

(hole, rack, wheel, time
heart, thorn, knees, blight
hand, hold, bright white
whole head feels light)

tore off my limbs and my breasts
the heart it's heavy in the chest
pulled out my tongue so i can't speak the truth
the picture in my vision it's the sun, it's you

i don't know what i ever wanted
you got a front, well you better flaunt it
ate a piece of the devil's body
the face of the devil follows me

every day it feels like i'm running
and i'm headed straight for the blaze
and i can breathe when i'm underwater
and i'm ready with a finger on the trigger

ooh, who's that girl
who's that girl

she's only special in secret
and she's got her own familiar spirits
something inside of her rises and she knows
destruction makes the world burn brighter

who's that girl
who's that girl
(use that gun)
who's that girl
who's that girl

i don't know what i ever wanted
you got a front well you better flaunt it
ate a piece of the devil's body
yea the face of the devil follows me

this suffering brings me closer to you
and time is broken and moves slow

your pure heart, your white light
i should be put to death for ever being cruel to you
you washed me clean like no one ever could
come closer now and step right into
the wide mouth, the sharp teeth of the one you love

i'm not the kind of sick that you can fix
don't you worry about me baby
i've got no enemies and i've got no time

the song, we carry on
even though you pushed us down
we carry on

when you try to blind my eyes i can see tenfold
it's nothing that my heart can't take, 'cause your hate has made me strong
and stronger men than you have tried to break me
stronger men than you have tried to break me

leaning toward the golden days
forget about the older days
and everything we left behind
to stand here in another life

we carry on, even though you held us down
we carry on, with the song
we carry on, even though you pushed us down
we carry on

kings have all lost their heads
somehow we, we lost our way
we are running away

lost upon the lonesome winds
the voice of god despairing him
then crept into the severed heads
of dreams we have forgotten and
lost upon the rotted minds
of unjust fools who've forgotten

lost upon the rotted hearts
of those who forgotten us
our frozen wills have melted down
into nothing they can help
into nothing

all is nothing
all is done
all is over

hold the reins inside
hold it inside

these horses they pull me
these horses they pull me
these tires they pull me
these winds they push me
these wires  they pull me
these wires they pull me
to you

these horses they pull me
these horses they pull me
these tires they pull me
on the unforgiving roads that lead to you
these winds these winds they push me
these wires these wires they pull me
these wires these wires they pull me
to you
and nobody can stop me now

release your dead
release your  dead
holy ancestors
holy ancestors

i saw in you a pattern
i saw the reason why
they never saw it in you
but i swear i saw it then

in my head there's a war
in the end it's a horror
can't help the chemical's form
in my head there's a warrior

i saw in you a pattern
i saw the reason why
he never saw it in you
but i swear i saw it then

release your dead
release your dead
holy ancestors
holy ancestors

in my head there's a war
in the end it's a horror
the urge to kill getting stronger
in my head there's a warrior

and it's a war to feel whole
and it's a fear to feel at all
and it's the wonder at love
and it's the weight of her

release your dead
(for me they've bled)
release your dead
(those wild men)
believe your dead
(to give me dreams)
believe your dead
(to bring me dreams)

i can feel the walls closing in
and i don't want to talk anymore
wish i could quietly slip away
and leave you here with no void
the only reason i stay is to care for you
everything else in me has atrophied
and i am cold and painless now
i want to live but i feel nothing

when can i die, when can i go
when will i be free, when will i know
when can i run – my legs are bound
when can i go, when can i go

was born a blackened seed in the wild
and i never was a child
i was pulled right out of the sea
and the salt – it never left my body
someone opened me up while i was sleeping
and filled my body right up with sand
i carry a heaviness like a mountain
it forces me to remain
alive and ugly, alive and ugly
alive and ugly, alive and ugly

when can i die, when can i go
when will i be free, when will i know
when can i run, my legs are bound
can i leave here, knowing you'll be strong without me

they'll clap when you die
they'll love you when you're dead
and they'll understand
and you'll be forgiven then

the pain forms a circle with a light at the center
i can see it from here the end is coming
and all the wait, it was for nothing
i covered you in royal jelly
i made you queen and you forgave me
we'll be given the world in the right time
but we made our own and left it empty

this will be ours
'cause we're the concept
and we're the flawed
and we're the answer

you said to me it won't be long now
you'll leave the world and you will join me here
my flesh is afraid but i am not
cause love now is only the pain of needing
they took your smell, they took your shadow
and i'm searching through faces for someone familiar
i clawed and i clawed but i couldn't find you there
you wouldn't wake i couldn't sleep for years

this will be ours
'cause we're the the concept
and we're the flawed
and we're the answer
and we're the stars
it won't be long now
it will be ours
it will be ours

creation was the only word that made you feel you never were an endless hope is all it was and holding sacred all were and don't forsake the way we were and don't tell me you never would and we don't need physical things to make us feel and make us dream when earth cracks open and swallows then we'll never be tired again and we'll be given everything the moment we realize we're not in control and all you know gets older when the sun goes down and everything begins to fade away the waves have come and taken you to sea never to return to me

when the wind takes ‘em all
away from here, away from me
when the sorrow is all gone
it is buried in the soil
when the wind takes em all
away from here away from me
when the sorrow is all gone
it is buried in the sun
when the wolves howl their song
and the whole earth is done
when the wolves howl their song
and the wind still carries on
