Bloodshed in Wonderland

I see bodies strewn like broken dolls
And the roses are painted black						
I hear a grating grinding lullaby
Sung by a talking cat (Meaow…meaow)

I skip along and the sights I see!
I meet a smiling cat in a tree!
There’s Tweedledum and Tweedledee!
And we all sit down with the Hatter for tea!

Falling, bleeding, now I’m screaming
Am I dreaming?
Falling down the rabbit hole
Twisting, turning, stomach churning
Is this happening?
Falling down the rabbit hole

Medicated, mind sedated, I’m placated
We’re all a little mad in here

I can’t outrun my twisted mind
It’s hopeless
Alice, wake up Alice
Tendrils of madness snaked like vines
Bringing darkness
Alice, wake up Alice

I hear the doctor call my name
I feel him take my hand
It’s much too late, I’m too far gone
He can’t save me from this land 

(Alice your diagnosis is pending
I fear your madness is neverending)

The riddles start, this madness attacks
I feel it take over, the world starts to crack
I try to think but I’m losing track
My tea is blood and the sky is black

I meet the monster, Queen of Red
Throne room dark and filled with the dead
All of Wonderland is filled with dread 
As she eats their hearts and she takes their heads
She puts a blade into my hand
She wants me to judge a guilty man
I see my doctor on the stand
So…I say…off with his head

I’m curious if this is all a dream
My doctor’s head in my hands
It matters not; I guess it’s all the same
When there’s bloodshed in Wonderland
I can’t outrun my twisted mind
It’s hopeless
Alice, wake up Alice
Tendrils of madness snaked like vines
Bringing darkness
Alice, wake up Alice
Dress soaked in blood, grin on my face
And I’m laughing
Alice, wake up Alice
For I will never leave this place
I’m trapped here
Alice, wake up Alice

Falling, bleeding, now I’m screaming
Am I dreaming?
Falling down the rabbit hole
Twisting, turning, stomach churning
Is this happening?
Falling down the rabbit hole


Bloodshed In Wonderland

Evolution

You ripped the feathered wings from my back; you thought I’d never fly again
But they grew back scaled and demonic cloaking me from all pain
And I’m something else now, twisted
I’m colder than before
I’m something altogether darker
Embrace this Babylonian Whore

Heart blackening, shrivelling
It’s useless meat that causes pain
Pain is dwindling
But look at what’s become of me
I’m changing irreversibly
Am I more or less than I used to be?
My soul is withering
Can’t hold me back now I am free

Should I thank you for waking me up from the dream?
For showing me the truth the life was not what it seemed?
Drown you in your tears as you did to me?
I think I just might for the pleasure of hearing you scream

And I’ll drench my soul in napalm and I’ll set it alight
And I’ll exist for me and myself I no longer care what’s right
Strip the flesh from your bones and feed if that’s what it take to survive
Take from all and don’t give back oh that’s how you stay alive

You took the halo from my head and you smashed it into pieces
Now I see the world for what it is; we are beasts wallowing in our own faeces
And I’m something that lives in the darkness
Your perfect girl is gone
Looked at the world through innocent eyes
Paid the price and now I am reborn

Fuck you you cunt and fuck everyone else
From now on I look after no one but myself

And I once was such a beautiful thing, so perfect, sweet and good
But everything rots, turns bad in the end
Just like you said it would

My flesh still bleeds
My lungs still breathe
My heart still beats
My eyes still see
But I just don’t feel the same
And the wounds are healed
Bu the scars remain
A reminder of all the damage and pain
I’m changed now; we are the same


Evolution

This is a preview of Mad Love, the first single from Splintered Halo's upcoming album The Splintered Minds Asylum which will be released Halloween '16! 

Pleased ta meetcha! How'd ya do?!
How's about a kiss?
Ha! Joke's on you!
You can't have me! 
This princess has her prince and he loves me
(He loves me not)
He loves me!
(He loves me not)

Sometimes I wonder why my Mistah J laughs when I cry
But wait! 
He must have been provoked!
Or maybe I don't get the joke...

Roll up! Roll up for the greatest show on Earth!
*giggles*
Guaranteed to entertain!
We're gonna kill the Batbrain!
Drive some people insane!
Always leave 'em laughin'
(Cryin'? Screamin'?)
A smile a day keeps the doctor away!
When Bats is dead he'll see me!
My puddin' will be happy
Seducin' him is easy - 
Don't you wanna rev your Harley?!
Vroom vroom!

It's meant to be, my puddin' an' me 
He's swell, he's great
My psycho soulmate!
It's madness you say to love him this way?
I'd cross every line
If the clown prince is mine!

So I smile through bloodied lips and tear stained eyes
Please tell me what did I do wrong this time?
Sticks and stones may break my bones but his words cut like a knife 
When I fail again will he end my life?

Left broken, discarded
I always learn the hard way
Courting death, I can see
My need for him will kill me

Then Ivy picks me up again
She dusts me down my dearest friend
He has my mind she has my heart
But still I go back to the start

And so I face this with a grin
I know he's sorry
He will see that he needs me
Though he can't say the words 
I know that he loves me
(He loves me not)
He loves me
(He loves me not)

Sometimes I wonder if Red's right 
If I am blinded by my 
Love 
He tossed me out into the rain 
It seems I've screwed up yet again!

(Aw nuts, it's Batman!)

Jingle bells, Batman smells 
Robin laid an egg
My puddin's gonna kick your ass
And break both of your legs!
Joker had a wittle bat 
He twisted off it's wings
He bit off it's wittle head 
'Cause bats are his playthings!
Let's hear that geetar sing!

*solo*

Thrown from the window, I hit the ground 
My vision fades, I'm not laughing now 
The guy I love caused me this pain
But I go back to him again

He sends me flowers
Says get well soon
How can I resist this charmin' loon?
I'm in too deep
Constantly ask myself if he loves me
(He loves me not)
He loves me
(He loves me not)

Sometimes I think it might be nice 
To stay with Red, take her advice
But somethin's broken, somethin's wrong 
Trapped in his smile
This show must go on

So roll up! Roll up for the greatest show on Earth!
*giggles*
Guaranteed to scare and maim!
We're gonna kill the Batbrain!
Drive some people insane!
Always leave 'em laughin' 
(Dyin'? Pleadin'?)
You’ll die today; you might wanna pray
I have a confession
Puddin's my obsession
I am his possession!

It's meant to be, my puddin' an' me
He's swell, he's great 
My psycho soulmate 
It's madness you say to love him this way?
I'd cross every line 
If the clown prince is mine

Left broken, discarded
I always learn the hard way
Courting death, I can see
My need for him will kill me
