- Black Magic
If I could save you
I would kiss you
I would run to you
I would fix you
If I could stitch their hearts
I'd collect another
All the lonely boys
- Bruises
I learned to love from songs
I know I do it wrong
I fall fast and not very well
Try to dissemble, but you can tell
I can't play by the rules
Too impatient to be pursued
But you got under my skin
- Casualties
"That's one of the unfortunate by-products of a married woman falling in love. There are almost always casualties, Eve."
In retrospect it seems I've lost
I could have won, but at what cost?
Is it too late now to be brave?
When there's no love left I can save
Feeling guilt's my one regret
- Compliance
If only I could be
Docile and compliant
If only I could fit her shoes
If only I could be
The doll that you imagine
I'd proudly shape myself into your muse
- Crows
I ride over rivers and mountains
Trees are covered in blossoms and mosses
To deliver my wilted body to your door
I’m weighing my gains and losses
You welcome me with the look of a madman
I lose myself in your pandemonium
- Cruelty
Each girl thinks she will be the one
To love you despite all you do wrong
Each time you make the same mistakes
But so does she
You think that to be a good person
Means merely causing no one harm
But since we're all responsible for ourselves
- Haunted
This must be the worst part of missing you
I cry at a picture of me kissing you
And I've forgotten just how you smell
I only remember I loved it so well
Oooh it's heavy
Deep in my belly
I picture your touch
And know that you miss me this much
- Hunger
I could warn you of my hunger
Scare you further away
But all I want is to circle your feet
Listen, and obey
How can we meet as equals
When I am full of such destruction
And you have mastered stillness and peace
- Knowledge Scars
Such a lovely fall from grace
Such a pretty tearful face
Silence rules falsely empty hearts
In this fevered, cold embrace
Intuition's wrong, though dreams implore so strongly
Upon these wings of fire no other has desired so
Could my hope be killed within another sin, oh
- Pillar of Salt
The damage was done preemptively
Blame the force of these memories
Abstain all you want you can't shake your hold on me
Though you won't call me -- you play it right
Still my mind lingers in those nights
And you don't have to try to twist that knife
- Running up that hill like a boy
It doesn't hurt me
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal we're making?
You, it's you and me
Can't be getting mad!
What, you mad?
- Silence
I drive by your mother’s house
Though she’s asleep, and you are out
Two thousand, eight hundred and ninety eight miles away
To be precise
Just to smell that air again
To feel nostalgia mixed with pain
For the days when you were here
- Specimen
I am ripe, full, swollen
You examine my body where it has fallen
You have a habit to feed - and this fruit
Seems like the sweetest poison
I am supine, passive, silent
I long to be used used in the way I was meant
Obscene fertility in casual beauty
- The Future, The Boot
We all worked in a factory
Where only Faustian bargains were made
When the circuses and bread ran out
Our subversive plans were laid
Now you ask us what did we do
For the revolution today?
We learned when life throws you sarin
To sing a sweet serenade
- The Heroine
The city is war-torn
And nearly impassable
I act the lovelorn
Dramatically laughable
You said you’d come see me
Here underground
Now it’s closing night
- The Keys
With a promise to set me free
From the cage I'd locked myself into
He appeared with many keys
How could I refuse?
These golden bars they hold perfection
But were chosen by mistake (mistake)
Comfort would be my tomb
- Thumbelina
Don't crush her fairy's wings
Hold her gently in your hand
Help her to feel tall again
None of this was planned
She's too small for the pen
Can't write her story down
Too small for the pen
