lyrics

ALECTO! ALECTO!

And I do not take it kindly
Dark Alecto, O my darling
That my love for you will blind me
Dig my fingernails in
I have lost all my direction
O Alecto, don’t forsake me
I am open to suggestion
I am tearing at my skin

You are brittle, you are perfect
Dark Alecto, arms akimbo
Part electric, all reactive
Grin like lightning meets the knife
Prolonged contact is distracting
I am gobsmacked and torpedoed
I am skittish as a Titan
I’m in danger of my life

And I don’t know why you want me
For a perfume or a plaything
Would you kill me or distill me
Wear me wet upon your wrists?
Boil my blood in your cucurbit
Let it rise to the alembic
Then condense me, dark Alecto
Tip the flask up to your lips

Is this war or castigation
My implacable Alecto?
Your temptation is my takedown
Won’t you rake me through and through?
You reward me, make me raving
With your forcefulness and torchlight
Be my heaven, be my breakdown
No one breaks me like you do
