Spinning in your room,
beneath the naked bulb you lie and stare;
Lock yourself away where you never can be reached,
i cry.
knowing how you lied;
- Across A Thousand Blades
angel, why am I so blind?
the room: sweat pouring, eastern incense
warm red embers within amber flesh
slithering naked across a thousand blades
...across a thousand blades
I hold you gently, your eyes so far away
searching for your justice
searching for your innocence
- All My Lovers
All my lovers
I'm above him looking into his eyes
Clutching him tight
He touches my hair, touches my breast
I feel him inside me
I devour him
All my lovers
- Ashes In The Brittle Air
Ashes. Ashes.
Our souls drift like ashes in the brittle air.....through the brittle air.
Hold out your hands. Afraid to hold out for what you need...
But see, see what you need.
Twirling like leaves, we float away....
Drift away from things, the things you desire
Desire, desire: the passion burning in your heart.
Reach for what you want.
- Could I Stay The Honest One
if your words lodged within me
burning streamers... how could i stay
the honest one? harbouring these feelings
...engulfing me
burn my memories... your tears the ultimate
beauty... so deceived, by honesty
- Dagger
If I could look down from the vantage of an enraged god
I'd pass judgment on your betrayal
Proceed with your punishment
Scratch that apologetic smile
From your beautiful face
Convert my falling tears to daggers that impale you
Pierce the flesh I love
And drive the life from your body
- I Have No More Answers
I know you need to ask of me...
I know you need to ask of me...
But I...
But I have no more...
I have no more answers...
I have no more answers...
I have no more reasons why I lived that way...
I have no more feelings.
- Knock Three Times
Autumn leaves blowing across my floor
Windows broken out by the mean kids who live next door
And there she is
Well not her exactly but the box she likes to sleep in
She was so cute in a skinny kinda way.
And they say,
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
- Marmalade Cat
I live in a house on Benefit Street.
I prowl here within the walls.
Peekin' out from behind my paws.
My second skin is a marmalade cat.
I feel at home as a marmalade cat.
I'm big and fat, an old lazy boy. I'm sleepin' in the sun.
- Pandora's Box
Innocent, embraces turned to dream
In textures like lovers
But would I ever go through with this?
Entangled, enraptured, entwined our bodies lie
Your kiss, the fear, my thoughts explode...
Didn't you notice I wanted you?
Pandora's box, trapped within the tree of knowledge.
- Redefine Pure Faith
If only I could taste one drop of your unhappiness...
If only I could live again within your mystery...
If only I could capture the essence of purity...
Reawaken me, entranced by flesh and lace.
A beauty haunts me, and encompassing embrace.
No more lies,
No more lies.
The vulture has poisoned my garden.
- Remnants Of A Deeper Purity
She was so beautiful to watch
Swirling in and out of view
A seemingly Spanish dance
Her hands and heels
Moved this girl
With eyes downturned
Subtle flesh stirs beneath blackened threads
- Tarnished
Well Halo came down from the stage fell down
He slumps into somebody's arms
Wounds torn open, desire exposed
We grab for a piece of his soul
I have been broken, divided
Annihilated
- The Lie Which Refuses To Die
they're tearing me up in the sun
they're melting me down in the sun
they're burning up in the heat
trying to convince everyone they're the same ones
filling their life with thoughts of me
choking out in the dust
they're choking on their words
there's no way i could invent people like this
- The Perfect Pervert
If this time I react with emotion. I'd rather you play non-consensual.
I put the blindfold over her eyes. I put the rag in her mouth.
Don't think about pleasing me. do what you wish, even if I protest.
I tell her to kneel in the center of the floor, I pull down her clothes, I touch her.
Wrists bound to ankles, very exposed. No chance of escape. I open to you.
I draw on my feelings, draw on my memories. The flogger makes contact with skin.
It excites me that you're training me: mentally, physically, preparing me.
You need to be broken down, you need to be rebuilt.
- Through Sky Blue Rooms
"steal my soul", he laughed
As he ran away
Chasing him with blindfold eyes,
Leave me to linger
On his every word;
Follow him through sky blue rooms.
The corners blur, the ceilings fall
On our heads. we roll in bed.
- With My Sorrows
On the tide withdrawn she disappeared, back to the deepest sea
The shells whisper secretly, she's the one I've waited for a thousand years
I feel it in the salted air, in the moon's moist breath
A need to recreate the worlds we once shared.
Medieval mosques had warmed her then, charcoal blackened her eyes
Young, intense, untouchable. Weaving her spiral of desire
She had dreams beneath a golden sun, festivals passionate.
- Your Love Is Sweeter Than Wine
Your love is sweeter than wine - oh I taste it
Your smile is sweeter than wine - don't I know
You should trust in the beat of your heart
You should believe
In the words that are on your lips
Don't fear to speak them
My love, my love
