Dark Descent

In the midst of your night when you feel unbound
And your breathing slows, and your heart beats loud
When you’re starting to feel that this could be the end
Oh, you’ll know it’s the time for your dark descent
Into skill and control, never know defeat
And your life is a shadow ‘cause you just don’t eat
Never speak, never tell of this hunger of mine
When it grows, it is time for my dark design
Oh, these sticks and stones
How they’ll break your bones
Don’t even try to come home
Now that you’re alone
‘Cause you made this choice
Now you’ll have to deal
With my voice, in your head
And this world unreal
With your hips, and your bones, and your lanugo
All this beauty inside, it will starve and grow
Take control of your mind, I will be your guide
Sink deep down inside as our worlds collide
Come on down, to the end, to your dark descent
From your ribs, to your blades, and emaciate
The skin of your cheekbones till they are drawn
Tonight is the night the new you is born
My promises are hollow
But that you already know
An empty sense of decadence
With a long way to go
You’ll never know a hunger
With such mental force
The elation from starvation
Never knows remorse
But of course, you would know this
Right back from the start
When you swore yourself to me
With your hand on your heart
‘Cause you’ve never felt quite normal
Like all your other friends
And over time, you’ve felt the rise
Of your dark descent
With your hips, and your bones, and your lanugo
All this beauty inside, it will starve and grow
Take control of your mind, I will be your guide
Sink deep down inside as our worlds collide
Come on down, to the end, to your dark descent
From your ribs, to your blades, and emaciate
The skin of your cheekbones till they are drawn
Tonight is the night the new you is born
Come on down, to the end, to your dark descent
From your ribs, to your blades, and emaciate
The skin of your cheekbones till they are drawn
Tonight is the night the new you is born
The new you is born
