The Rise and Fall of Romeo Gultch Lyrics

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
