Chapter I: As Above So Below
In the beginning God created me and my sin. Perfectly imperfect, he made me in his image. “As above so below” Prophecy signature at my conception. A holy mask forged in the flames of inception, Divinely anointed in sacred deception.
It was here, it was clear, it was already dead.
As above I praise him, so below I can worship. I’m devout in this way, no-one comes before him. My Alpha, my God, make me Oh-mega. Bruised knees on the pulpit, nothing can save us.
In the shadow of night his form I know. A cry for a daddy, a hymn sung low. He answered my call but it wasn’t my father. Just like that, it was done, and I wish I were sober.
As above I praise him, so below I can worship. Im devout in this way no one comes before him. My Alpha, my God, make me Oh-mega. Toking on a Sunday cigarette, nothing should save us.
Through storms I’ve walked, through ashes I know. Born under the centaur’s sacred flame glow. Mask made of moon in the cancerous ocean. I’m making waves now, such a commotion.
As above I praise him, so below I can worship. Im devout in this way no one comes before him. My Alpha, my God, make me Omega. My beginning, my end. nothing would save us.
Sacred flame fades, but the mask still holds. Ten swords in the back, just the story foretold.

Chapter II: Phases of the Honeymoon
Even though I just met you, I feel like I could give it all away. I don’t know why it hits me like a daze. Maybe it’s because I was never like the other boys, and somehow you knew. conjured an appetite, something you crave.
Your synthetic smile always pulled me in. Waning deceptive lies never win.
Phases of the honeymoon Honey on your skin, I’m addicted to the taste. Phases of the honeymoon Your essence rewires me, I withdraw when you’re away. Phases of the honeymoon Floating on a high, and this time it’s real. Phases of the honeymoon Fragmented, I become a silver crescent of myself.
You lean in, breath on my face. No needles, just nectar, it’s my crutch. I’d trade every sunrise for this space Till I’m dizzy on your love.
Jealousy’s feeling like foreplay. You and Adam keep in touch.
Organic, your words push me out. Waxing genuine, power over me.
Phases of the honeymoon Honey on your skin, I’m half addicted to the taste. Phases of the honeymoon Your essence rewires me, full withdraw when you’re away. Phases of the honeymoon Floating on a new high, but this time it’s real. Phases of the honeymoon Yeah, we’re toxic, baby we’re an eclipse.
I’d let you ruin me quiet. Let your teeth leave tiny claims across my shoulder, your signatures. I wouldn’t care who saw. Let them stare. I’m yours first.
Phases of the honeymoon I need your high even if it kills me. Phases of the honeymoon I’d still lick the poison off your lips. Phases of the honeymoon I’d give it all up for you even though we just met.

Chapter III: Immortal Flowers
He came like a season, the dogwoods were in bloom. He saw vulnerability and said he’d protect me too. The surveillance nostalgia felt like home. Thumb on my pulse, studying my every move. A crown of roses to me, I never noticed the thorn. I didn’t care though, I always dreamed of this admiration.
Are we flying or are we falling? I don’t care, if he’s calling. Rooted deep in his sacred ground, The tower card were intrinsically bound.
Sugar in the venom, talk to me divine. He says I’m mature for my age to keep me overnight. Give me that attention, and I’ll stay confined. Dizzy on the pills he gave me, but I feel alright. Yeah.
Naivety suits you well, my dear. Immortal flowers bloom in hell.
I call him daddy but I don’t know if I want to. I worship him at his altar, got his name tattooed. Lips get bitten, he’ll toss me around. Why the hell did I wake up on the ground? Pomegranate seeds on my tongue, he conspired. I hate his ex Adam, prayed that he’d expired. Pyrite chain necklace, a fool’s gold wire. A bruise that’s a bracelet, black and blue attire. In the bathroom with the needle, his veins on fire. Persephone was helpless to Hades’ desire.
Sugar in the venom, talk to me divine. mature for my age to keep me overnight. Give me that attention, and I’ll stay confined. Dizzy on the pills he gave me, but I feel alive.
Immortal flowers bloom in hell, my dear. Naivety is blind to itself.
Something’s off, the crown’s too tight. If I take it off, do I still shine? He took my joy framed it on display. Said art needs to suffer. I said okay. Three swords digging into my heart. Immortal flowers sprouting in my bones, tearing me apart.
Sugar in your venom, lethal divine. mature for my age you say all the time Kiss me like you mean it call me your baby. Addicted to pills, hidden dolls Immortal Flowers bloom in hell eternally stalled.

Chapter IV: MASC4MASK
Ignorance that’s a drug I can’t buy. Loyalty’s a luxury for the blissfully high.
Mask for mask, give me the one you used on him. That quiet disguise, that venomous sin.
The mask that looked like me when you kissed up on his neck. Stretch it over my cheeks, let it dig in. It reeks of your spit on his skin. It’s grim.
Funny how jealousy fits better than your lies. Funny how I still look good in your leftovers. Funny how I want him to taste me on your mouth Even if it’s just the ghost of rubber.
Mask for mask, I’ll wear him, you’ll wear me. We’ll play this game till somebody sees.
Mask for mask, tell me who cracks first. Let’s see who still shines when the mirror hurts.
I wanna lick the hinge of your jaw like he did. I wanna hear your teeth clench, God forbid You moan my name like a broken loop, A song I taught you that’s playing for two. Top bottom? don’t care, you’re versed in it all. That Grindr mask you wear looks too small Chainmail compliments, fake gold, no drip. didn’t warn me this fix would fuck up my script.
Funny how your standards come in pairs. Funny how I’m not laughing at your affairs.
Mask for mask, I’ll wear him, you’ll wear me. Trading skin for forgiveness, love as currency. Masc4masc, tell me who cracks first. Who’s still pretty when the mirror bleeds.
Venus in Scorpio, I tried to warn you. Fuck with me and you’ll get burned too/two lovers are in reverse Couldn’t get worse. I’m not above fighting fire with fire. Honestly I’d rather burn it all too/two lovers are in reverse You cheated first.
Mask for mask, I take yours, you take mine. Trading futures, leave our souls behind. I’ll wear him like we rehearsed You’ll wear me right to the hearse. TIL the guy in the mirror who looks just like me says Who the hell am I?
Shh. He’s calling. He thinks it’s you. Haha Let him.
