TANGERINE (DRUG)
Come and see my tangerine
Come and see with me
Come and see it’s very bright
I’ve been up all night
Don’t be afraid
Don’t run away
Come and see the light of the night
See how it shines
I’ve pulled the stars from the sky
Come before I die
Come and be inside my mind
Come where I’m free
Come and see my ecstasy
Come inside of me
Come and see my tangerine
Come and be with me
It turns and twists and burns
In hues that you’ve never seen
Don’t be afraid
Don’t hesitate
Come and see my twisted mirror
See the running deer
Right through the dense dark smoke
The run in fear
Come and be inside my mind
Come where I’m free
Come and see my ecstasy
Come inside of me
Come and see my tangerine
Come and see with me
Come and see my tangerine
Come inside of me
Come inside of me
CAMBRIDGE
you think you know me
you think you got me wed
you think I'm full of you
cause you live in my bed
my mouth around you
I spin inside your head
and rub your thigh
while you follow my eyes
refuse to see what's inside of me
I am your mystery
I'm not what I seem
I live inside your dream
surrounded by your eternity
but baby wake up
and take a look at me
my anger rising
my infidelity
refuse to see what'sinside of me
I am your mystery
he lives through me
and I go with him
in our memories alone
I am your mystery
don't think about it
I don't even cry
cause its always a part of my life
torn up in pieces
and buried far beneath
my bruised heart
my surface smile
refuse to see what's inside of me
I am your mystery
he comes through me
and I am with him
in my memories alone
My cambridge home
I am your mystery...
UNDRESSED
the phone rang in my head
I can't explain the voices said
nothing real it's only me
calling back my memory
I undress my thoughts, my sins
and I become my own best friend
I own it all my my lies
scarred face I have no disguise
of what I am and how I have tried
to repair the harm inside
I am not what I drempt
not a life really kept
between the lines of bright success
I am only my own mess
I undress my thoughts, my sins
and I become my own best friend
look at me and what I have done
I don't complain while I smooth my frown
standing straight on broken ground
split wide open from my mistakes
I can't wipe them off my face
I own it all my my lies
scarred face I have no disguise
of what I am and how I have tried
to repair the harm inside
I undress my thoughts my sins
and I become my own best friend
MY FATHER
My my father
Won’t close his eyes
He lives under bright red sky
She pleads leave your mind
Leave it behind
What what can she do
Bring him back
From his other world
Under attack
I follow him into his eyes
I sit with him and his disguise
Leave your mind
Leave your mind
My my father
Won’t close his eyes
His lives underneath
Bright red sky
She pleads come with me
Leave your mind
I follow him into his eyes….
UP ALL NIGHT
I am right
He is wrong
I'm gonna keep
my position strong
We're up all night
another fight
I can't get him
to see it right
yet I crawl into his arms
despite my my feelings gone
and he kisses my mouth
and twists my my heart around
he wants me on my knees
where he is begging please
I take a bite
My jaw is tight
I swallow him
with my sense of pride
I gave it up
my sense of trust
traded in for his
liquid lust
yet I crawl into his arms
despite my my feelings gone
and he kisses my mouth
and twists my my heart around
feel his fortune weigh down on me
want to sprint but I cannot breathe
anchored to his misery
he takes it back
tongue in tact
ego checked
right in my lap
and promises
to never laugh
when I am angry
and breaking glass
yet I crawl into his arms
despite my my feelings gone
and he kisses my mouth
and twists my my heart around
he wants me on my knees....
WALTER KNIGHT
Something for my hands tied
Something for her body fright
He’s awaned every night
Sleepless worries, he is not right
He is saying let me be let me shout
Walter knight
Walter breathe
Try to fight
Walter knight
Sits and stares barely there
All is moving around his chair
Spinning sideways turns everywhere
Underneath his thinning hair
He is saying let me be, let me shout
Walter knight
Walter breathe
Try to fight
Walter knight
He’s awakened every night
Sleepless worries he is not right
All is moving around his chair
Turning sideways spins everywhere
He is saying let me out, lLet me be let me shout
Walter knight
Walter breathe
Try to fight
Walter knight
UNDONE
Undone, I cry
In the face of the bitter, black sky
Alone, I die
Wandering the shadows
Without a name
Desperate to find
Desperate to be
In place
Don't know where I am
Nor do I remember where I've been
Can't recall a single friend
Lines on my face
Around my mouth
Desperate to find
Desperate to be
In place
Fiercly, the leaves blow
Dead and crumpled, alone they go
Lines around my face
Around my mouth
I have not found
I have not been
In place
Undone, I cry
In the face of the bitter black sky
Alone, I die
Wandering the shadows
Without a name….
BABY BOY
don't listen, he only sees
don't hear her, he wants to be
resting heavy, between her knees
where will he land
if he flies between her knees
and where will he stand
between her knees or beneath me
I am what they say
I'm gonna break him, gonna make him pay
for the shine that blinded her eyes
and left her empty, his spiteful surprise
where will he land
if he flies between her knees
and where will he stand
beneath her knees or beneath me
catch him he's falling
listen he's calling
watch him he's running away
they say that he's a pimp
but his lies have covered it
truth blackened in his shame
a bony finger points in blame
I will expose him
weak heart, make believe friend
he is not what he seems...
a baby boy with a man's dream
a baby boy with a man's dream
a baby boy with a man's dream
where will he land
If he flies between her knees
and where will he fly
between her knees or beneath me
LION'S GRACE
if I lost my way
would you listen
would you stay
to see a lion
hide in the dark
shake and shiver
through the night
alone in terror
shy with fright
I fall in my my mind
I'm not a lion inside
if I lost my way
would you still
rush to my side
knees and hands
crawling all day
to see me bare
to see my smile
the bloody grin
of a greedy lion
I fall in my my mind
I'm not a lion inside
if you saw behind
toned muscle
bright eyes
would you listen
would you smell
a bleeding lion
fresh from attack
roasted panick
dripping in sweat
I fall into the night
the grace of the lion
has died
THE ROOM
I've been here before
walked through the back door
spinning in tha black room
all will end too soon
I'll forget that room
follow the rain
I am not the same
I ran away
to the other side of my mistakes
grey hawk above my head
watching, am I dead
come back it calls
I'm right across the hall
wrapped around your dolls
follow the rain
I am not the same
I've been here before
walked through the back door
spinning in that black room
all will end too soon
BLEED
before I die
wipe a wet eye
mouth open and dry
close my eyes
tightening thighs
will I ever know why
did they bleed the same as me
wearing their wounds on their sleeve
I can't leave before I am free
From the blood dried on my knees
feel me now, I am spinning around
throat opened, I’m exposed on the ground
before I die
wipe a wet eye
mouth open and dry
before I lay
wasting away
bathe my tears away
did they bleed the same as me
wearing their wounds on their sleeve
I can’t leave before I am free
From the blood dried on my knees
feel me now, I am spinning around
throat opened I’m exposed on ground
I can’t die
Before I know
Do you feel like me…
MY LOVER
He’s a beautiful man
Softness draped in rough muscle
Liquid fire I am warmth
When he covers
tongue limb and skin
my lover
The force of ten men
Melt me into him
Unsheathe my lonely heart
Lay my thighs wide open
Exposed salty and raw
Take me alone and scared
Until I am home
