about

Headless Affair is a second person account of being the geek in a carnival and dealing with the isolation and bitter loneliness that comes with the territory.

lyrics

Headless Affair

From up on the stage
They all look the same
Their eyes are wide like saucers as they gaze

The sound of vomit as you
Eat your phony shit
Screams while the chickens dance their jigs

It’s a headless affair
A triumph of the heart
They dance without their heads
They dance without their heads
They dance

The final show
At last some time for a little rest
The whiskey washes rat’s blood off your breath

And those with lovers disappear to darkened corners
Nothing soothes a tired soul like flesh

But you you’re only whiskey
To fill the emptiness
Of loneliness
Of loneliness
Oh loneliness

(solo)
All the tents are quiet
Everything is in its place
You stare alone at stars so high above

Perhaps you understand
Like the last of a dying race
Doomed to life but never for to love

You might shed a single tear
As you’re lost in sleep’s embrace
A question on your lips
A simple thought that hesitates

What brought you here in this time
What made you you in this place
What’s left to fear of this life
When you long for death’s embrace
Oh you long for death’s embrace
You long for death’s embrace
You long for death’s embrace
Oh you long… for death’s embrace
