[Verse 1]
Let's admire the pattern forming
Murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy climbing
Ignore and leave for me
The headstone crumbling behind

[Chorus]
I can't help my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes

[Verse 2]
Let's amend the classic story
Close it so beautifully
I'll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages
Hidden so shamefully
I'll still feel the violence of the lies

[Chorus]
I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence nurturing malevolence
