I have tried to back down in the eyes of strangers they will
know my all
that my pride comes after a fall, a fall
then you begin to ask the questions to end questioning
why, the art is growing silent in my arms

It’s a long a way to the anchor
fathoms under water you are running out of breath to carry

Let me lie upon my bad side
Spat up on the floor
Finger broken
I am backwards
Who could ask for more?

Crammed like cattle
Kick the habit

I’m invited to the feast of hammers
Led like cattle to the bride
If you’re dumb or lonely, you can come and join me
but I warn you, you’ll be crucified

I’m invited to the feast of hammers
Sacrificed and happy to be paid
Like dull creatures, they will beg to beat her

The ghosts in my house
Are whispering and calling out to me
They wake me up at first light
The nightmare it's coming home

Here lies the one you gave up on
Not good enough
Not good enough

I danced at your wedding
For the bride and the groom
I danced through the shadows
And I danced in that room

And I gave up salvation
Just to dance at your death
I waited there and I held my breath

you once cut a friendly figure haunting and bereft
now you cast an ugly shadow guilty and obsessed

so why must you always play the victim? it’s time that i wasn’t your hero
I’ve got troubles of my own that you used to care for
Now all I desire is to run so far away from those open and angry
arms I am not your possession

Dead round the eyes red rings what a sight there
Prone to the thoughts of electric nightmares
Soft like a skin yes I grin if I have to
You’ve got to, you’ve got to go

Swim little fish get away from the lobsters
Quick here they come they’re relentless monsters
Drown if you have to, don’t share the secret

Seventy steps to the lighthouse we crept
On the morning after the night before
Seventy steps up the tower
Her hair like Rapunzel
It's more than I can bear

How we dreamed of oceans deep
We'll make them sink

8 days ago he was down at my window
screaming my name in the air
and by the sight I could tell he’d been drinking
and when drunk you don’t usually care

that my situation had altered quite sharply
now my kisses don’t come for free
so throw down my hair for my lover to bear

Well it’s good to be a little open minded
To the way that other people see the world
But I can’t get by your obsession with leather
And the way you think it’s fun to hurt yourself

What’s that skeleton inside your cupboard?
What’s the use in hiding how you live?
What the use in being so damn secretive

Pages and pages and pages of poetry
I am not doing so well
Teach me the Bible, the scriptures, disciples
and baby teach me how to spell

My mother and father they got for a daughter
I wish that I could have been more
They were so proud when I learned how to walk

When I was seventeen
I met a man
Gave him all my dreams
Told him all my plans

Plans to rule the earth
Plans to tear apart
Plans to be the queen

I was once a child of God but then the devil kissed me
He gave me fear, and he said my dear
‘God will never miss thee’

There’s a price upon my head, and I’ve gone
Can the righteous still be lead by the wrong?

I’ve been waiting for better days, but a cold wind keeps on blowing

I’m wicked like a stranger crawling over your bed
Wicked like the criminal inside of your head
I’m wicked like the sickness in a cold fever sweat
Wicked like the taste of each and every regret

I’m wicked like the preacher preying on innocence
Fumblin’ his creeping fingers under your dress
I’m wicked like the bodies hidden under cement

Dark comes down
On the darkest part of town
And a gentleman steps out
Into the night

I was walking home
Such a silly girl, all alone
And we met by the river

The Sailor’s Wife, alone one night
In slumber as she bathes
She dreams of ships her sailor’s lip
Against the ocean waves

The sailor’s wife was pale and white
Beauty near divine
‘Oh how the sea has stolen thee’

Through Ten Walls you gently breathe
A rhythm only known to you and me
I would scratch these bricks away
So through the hollows you can hear me say:

“I have seen your misery
You’ve always had a hold over me
Eyes so wide to blind the fates

I drank the beast within
I drank him down so deep
He got so thin
And then the beast within
He learns to swim
And so I cannot win
Drink up, drink in
