Hollow
Run, desire run;
Sexual being.
Run him like a blade-
To and through the heart.
No conscience,
One motive:
To cater to the hollow.
Screaming,
"Feed me here;
Fill me up, again."
Temporarily pacify this hungering.
So grow,
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down.
Falling all around,
In cycles,
In circles;
Constantly consuming-
Conquer and devour.
'Cause it's time to bring the fire down.
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify,
And permanently fill this hollow.
Screaming,
"Feed me here;
Fill me up, again."
Temporarily pacifying.
"Feed me here;
Fill me up, again."
Temporarily pacifying.
Magdalena
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena
I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black madonna
I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena
Rose
Don't disturb
The beast
The tempermental goat
The snail while he's feeding on
The rose
Stay frozen, compromise
What I will
I am
Bend around
The wind silently
Thrown about
Again I'm treading so
Soft and lightly
Compromising my will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play your doe
in the headlights locked down
and terrified
Your deer in the headlights
shot down and horrified when
Push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this
Self-destructing dance that never
Would've ended till I
Rose
I roared aloud here
I will
I am
I am
I will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Lay dead
Play this
Kneel down
Gun-shy Martyr
Pitiful
I rose, I roared
I will
Come again
Judith
You're such an inspiration for ways that I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you
FUCK YOUR GOD
Your Lord, your Christ
HE DID THIS
Took all you had and
LEFT YOU THIS WAY
Still you pray; never stray; never
TASTE OF THE FRUIT
You never thought to question "Why?"
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you
PRAY
to your Christ, to your God
NEVER TASTE OF THE FRUIT
Never stray; never break; never
CHOKE ON A LIE
Even though he's the one who
DID THIS TO YOU
You never thought to question "Why?"
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Orestes
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb
One shape
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment
Give me one more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
Slip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you
Three Libras
Threw you the obvious,
And you flew with it on your back -
A name in your recollection,
Down among a million same.
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over,
When I look right through
To see you naked, but oblivious;
And you don't see me.
But I threw you the obvious,
Just to see if there's more
Behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy.
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded;
But I see, see through it all,
See through, see you.
'Cause I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs
Behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy.
Oh well, oh well.
Apparently nothing.
Apparently nothing at all.
You don't, you don't, you don't see me.
You don't, you don't, you don't see me.
You don't, you don't, you don't see me.
You don't, you don't, you don't see me.
You don't see me, you don't.
You don't, you don't see me at all.
Sleeping Beauty
Delusional
I believed I could cure it all for you dear
Coax or trick or drive or
Drag the demons from you
Make it right for you
Sleeping beauty, truly thought
I could magically heal you
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to rescue
Sleeping beauty
Drunk on ego, truly thought I could make it right if I
Kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare, but you're
Far too poisoned for me
Such a fool to think that I could
Wake you from your slumber, that I could actually heal you
Sleeping beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Hiding from some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping beauty
Thomas
Humble and helpless and learning to pray
Praying for visions to show me the way
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Illuminate me...
Illuminate me...
Illuminate me,
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin.
Hoping to...
Hoping to...
Hoping to...
Hoping to reconnect to you.
Hoping to reconnect to you.

Thinking Of You
Lying all alone and restless
Unable to lose this image
Sleepless, unable to focus on
Anything but your surrender
Tuggin' a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tuggin' a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound I know so well
Spent and sighin' with a look in your eyes
Spent and sweatin' with a look on your face like
Sweet revelation, sweet surrender
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Tuggin' a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tuggin' a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakeable sound I know so well
Spent and sighin' with a look in your eyes
Spent and sweatin' with a look on your face like
Sweet revelation, sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation, sweet
Thinking of you, thinking of you
Thinking
Sweet revelation, sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation, sweet
Brena
My reflection wraps and pulls me under
Healing waters to be
Bathed in Brena
Guide me safely in worlds I've never been to
Heal me, heal me
My dear Brena
Vulnerable
Miserable
Heal me, heal me
My dear Brena
Show me lonely and show me openings
To bring me closer to you
My dear Brena
Vulnerable
It's alright
Opening to
Heal
Opening to
Heal
Over
Been over, been over this before
Been over and over
Been over this before
And over, been over this before
So over this
Been over this
So over this
Been over this
Over this before
