walk to me again
peel back my skin
carve your name into
this wooden body
trace your footsteps back

All my dullness struck by you,
a dream that swallowed me up
I forgot how I'd gotten so deep
Painted my eyes black as the bottom
Now, my queen, dance for me
I'm gone, down, breathing black water
You grow fangs where there used to be teeth
I'm gone, down, breathing black water
Her beauty was a painted veil
her home is a graveyard deep
Seashell necklace skeleton
Her mourning tear, and my empty home
She's up all night staring out the window
I'm diving down deep
to sleep inside a fishbowl
I'm gone down breathing black water

he crashed the car in a moment of clarity
the universe has chosen so carefully
to put you in this hole
living's just getting old
and waiting to die
he told a lie, said he was terrified
took him almost two weeks to apologize
too little, too late
i've finished my plate and moved on to yours
you've been lucky for too long
dark never feels wrong until you're out in the light
you can do what you want to do
i'm not watching you turn into some haunt
creeping around the graveyard bars
fat on famine i forget myself
born into this fold of lambs, a wolf
fat on famine i forget myself
born into this fold of lambs, a wolf

Ocean's Mouth

so easily led, your eyes fall upon them
now your hands are so hungry
these stones are yours to calm you to claim you
to open a doorway they call to your soul from their black velvet bag
drift into dark dreams even while you're waking
you're fading out you were a drop in a river and i am the ocean's mouth
sleep now, alone in the darkness
the bed that i've made up for you is cold
hold your breath i'm letting my sins burn out
hold your tongue i am the word in your mouth
hold it up this light to your eyes until your sight's relieved from you
i thought that these were only dreams

Velvet Chokehold

taking my love for all that he's got
riding off into the sunset alone
breaking his heart and i'm taking his money
had an idea that i just couldn't shake
remember the locket i stole from the mystic
shimmering now as it hangs on your chest
the look in your eyes as you lean in to kiss me
violet in color, i saw my own death
my hands don't feel safe in yours anymore
curses, cursive, curtains closing on us
velvet chokehold dropped into the soil
my lover she took me for all i was worth
riding off into the sunset alone

i have been in some pictures
and i can play every part
but i still live with my mother
inside of a mid-size sedan
oh, hollywood
i wish you would
call me back
i thought a future in this town's a sure shot
neatly secured in a nice box
with little pink ribbons
i guess not. winners keep winning
oh, hollywood, i thought you would
come around to me
i wore a hundred faces,
make-up and animal skins
it all came down so quickly
now i'm running circles again
you've painted me pale,
now color me in
you've painted me pale
i don't want to wake up in this life tomorrow
i'm fed up with feeling ugly, bored and borrowed

Belong

so many pieces of so many people
sew me together with thread and a needle
a beautiful quilt has culled many a girl
stitched into blankets so comfortable
woven a symbol of life ever-lasting
it's good to belong and be spun into fabric
a pair of dark sisters have taken your hand
led you away from your dog and your man
be, believe, belong
be, believe, belong
leave the circle never
weave a quilt forever
be, believe, belong

A Circle
06:28

tied to times closed eyes
would keep your dreams
behind the walls of sleep
tied to what you thought was real
the world around you starts to peel
the colors back blues and greens
you cant discern if what you've seen
could be the truth or in your mind
you lie awake another night
another night
watch the walls begin to shake
as they are gently pulled away
faded out and into red
a scarlet memory in my head
take off your mask and talk to me
ceramic smiles start to speak
of warning signs and strategies
you close your eyes to stop the breach
when it all is said and done
i know exactly where we go
eternity inside your mind it is a circle
when our minds are turned to dust
you'll know exactly where you've been
eternally we're intertwined it is a circle
