Kerry Logan - The Rise and Fall of Romeo Gultch

My mother was opportunity
My father; the Morning Star
Although I am like him, I have her eyes...

I prefer the night
Cultivating shadows
Whet my appetite
Feasting on my sickening host
You won't believe your eyes!

Too much in the light
Must create my own darkness
Don't put up a fight
I'm a master of all this
Breathe in now as I bite
I'll have you all in good time...

I've picked you of all else out of a line
Though we're joined, I made sure I took my time
To size you up, sus you out, to make you mine
We're gonna have such good times!
Where we will go you won't believe your eyes!

I've made a study of how you move in time
But research by itself just will not satisfy
What we will do you won't believe your eyes!

All of these shares are mine
51% of you
I own this space and time
49% won't do

Redecorate in blood
Out with the old, in with new
No sense in fighting it
Do as I do unto you

How do I bend your mind?
To make you choose my new truth?
Just one step at a time
You'll only see when you lose

Covered from head to toe
Redecorated in blood
No sense in fighting it
Take what I want from you
My goal's achieved when I
Do as I do unto you

Now I'm in the zone!
Taking hold of this
Make you choose the wrath over the gold

Architect of death
Pull you down with me
I'm getting good at this, don't you know!

Succumb to me
So succinctly
Deflate until my air you breathe!

I have a request
Be suitably impressed!
You go to work from 8 till 5 and go to bed like all the rest
But I never sleep at night
Never allow myself respite
My all is to diminish you complete!

You are all but spent, I have won

I - I want your hope to lie
I feel something uncomfortable
And feel you haven't died

Wait! It's supposed to be too late!
What selfish kind of host are you
That doesn't fully break?

I've tried to take you into me
To make you think as I
But you still have the fight inside you
Just hurry up and die!

The more I see what I guess you'll be
The less I think I know
You dig your heels and you come at me
Like I'm the one who's low!
Succumb to me
Maybe you'll be
The one that gets me in the end...

I'm not so blind that I cannot see
My back against the wall
I will not die, not admit defeat
Can never truly fall

On shoulders, you stood above
My poison round your knees!
The only thing that can make me weak...

It's no fear!
You had help!?
How is that a fair fight?

While I pulled down
You looked up!
A strength I can't deny...

Your mother's faith was new to me
Your father was a star!
Although you are like him, you have her eyes
