Lydia Lunch - Vandal Lyrics

This door it swings both ways
you're so self-centered, solitary all alone
you no longer reach out to life
you run head-long straight to your own demise

Rise now to the harbour of my arms
take shelter from the storm
a howling wind, all those raging tides
the thunder clouds are closing in

Now you're seeing nothing
no not a thing
your eyes turned to dust
it's as if you've been choked to death
by ghosts in a rush of water

Akll our kisses they've dissolved into dark
snatched by vandal hands
just a madman in the moonlight
you've turned to murder - glory - lust

I gaze with terror into your void
gigantic shadows, your disembodied voice
I call out to you from a distant Eden
but there is no return to paradise

I'm deprived of my last veil of illusion
I watch you broken on the wheel of fate
all those former terrors they just lie in wait
ready to ambush on the road to ruin
closing in

This door it swings both ways
you know it's not without reason
that I've grown tired, so tired of a world
that's offered me nothing but abuse

Around here the air grows so thin
I can't breathe anymore
I can't be expected to climb up any more walls
a firm grip on my wrists
all those fingertips closing in

In a rush of water
choked on butterfly wings
I gaze with terror into the void
