Pixel Zombies: We Spooned Through A Telephone Wire (4)

The Premise
We met under aprons of fire
Outgrew our skins and let our passions perspire
Love emanates like cigarette heat
The telephone sings
Time progress like a crescendo stuck on repeat
We dwindled in and out, like movie careers
The call of drunken dogs and the need for more than that's given
Took you to a self-indulgent campus and away from me!
We built our own empire, supported now by telephone wires
And now, you martyr willingly, surrender my entity
And greet your new guise
We devirginized our every desire
Back in our homes, housing the treasonous choir
Our fading sun shone anew
When you left and sang
We paint a gorgeous canvas
With electric pastels
But then the illustrations
Start to blemish and pare
I saw the signs from within;
The absence of your French guise
The dogs ahd sunk fangs of betrayal and debauchery inside of you
We built our own empire, supported now by telephone wires
And now, you martyr willingly, surrender my entity
And greet your new guise
Well, they can't, and they won't ever come close to
What I created with you, inside of bedrooms and dorms
And now you've cut the phone wires that held up our empire
I sing our song now, solo
Expose
But wait, what is this message at hand?
The dogs confess about your new beloved
In less time than it takes to cut wires
You've in the arms of an obia
You intoxicate yourself, let the hedonism swell
This fucking curse is a dove's cell
Only I see, the infamous grin
The telephone wires fall back into the city
Consolidation
The city embraces me
A neon caress is my melody
Electric nights, my soothing melodies
Progress talents, chase apathy
(Wake the fuck up, history repeats itself, the only constant is change, don't give up hope, move on, I don't need to know, I don't need to know, I don't need to know, I don't need to know, I don't need to know. You fucking whore, what you make is more than that you're worth, you fucking...you don't mean shit, you liar, you fucking whore, it will be alright, time heals all wounds, don't think about it, I don't need to know, I don't need to know.)
Recovery
The railguns ride on cellophane
And meet under your seafoam green
Your letters attack like bayonets
That cut the couture from your marionettes
I eat neon purple sunshine, from your grapevines
Like nooses of lust
Who took my diamonds from me? They shimmered so clean,
And now they're rotting glass
Attack your rival kingdom (yeah!)
Carpet bomb your illustrious tales
The scribbled fields of affection (yeah, yeah!)
Devour the roots of your sick gale
Tell me what you don't know.
Tell me what you don't fucking know.
Tell me what you don't know.
Tell me what you don't fucking know.
The Return
I fell under ships that transpired
Bought off gifts that were auctioned for hire
My fare costs three false teeth
My guillotine sings
"My, oh my, you've changed!"
Your freckles are now cheapened sex signs
Your rose is now a shipwrecked blister
You can't sing
I made you who you are,
A callous, depthless day dreamer,
I've come back to say that fairy tales stay inside the books
We built our own empire, supported now by telephone wires
And now, you martyr willingly, surrender my entity
And greet your new guise
Well, they can't, and they won't ever come close to
What I created with you, inside of bedrooms and doors
And now you've cut the phone wires that held up our empire,
I sing our song now, solo
Where do my diamonds shine now?
What plot twists lie ahead now?
