The Hollow

Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One Motive
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

Magdelena

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, compromising
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
I am

Judith

You're such an inspiration for the ways 
That I'll never ever choose to be 
Oh so many ways for me to show you 
How the savior has abandoned you 
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ 
He did this 
Took all you had and 
Left you this way 
Still you pray, you 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 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 

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
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 

Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Because 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
Keeping me from killing you

3 Libras

Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million, say:
Difficult enough to feel a little bit
Disappointed, passed over.
When I've looked right through,
To see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me

Well 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,
And see you.

So I threw you the obvious
Do you see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy

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 at all

Sleeping Beauty

Delusional
I believe I can 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 can 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 can wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you..

Sleeping Beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
You're 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
And hiding from some poisoned memory

Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping Beauty

Thomas

Humble and helpless
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 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

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging 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 that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging 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 that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation sweet

Thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, Thinking of you, Thinking of you, thinking...

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation

Breņa

My reflection
Wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
Bathed in Breņa

Guides me
Safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Breņa

So vulnerable
But it's alright

Heal me
Heal me
My dear Breņa

Show me lonely and
Show me openings
To lead me closer to you
My dear Breņa

(Feeling so) vulnerable
But it's alright

Opening to... heal...
Opening to... heal...
Heal.. Heal.. Heal...

Heal me

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

Diary of a Madman / Lovesong

Screaming at the window  
Watch me die another day  
Hopeless situation 
Endless price I'll have to pay  
  
Diarrhea of a madman  
Walk the line again today  
Entries of confusion  
Dear diary, I'm here to stay.  
  
Sanity now and beyond me  
I will always love you.
However long I stay
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say
I will always love you.
There's no choice.  

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm hopeless

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself?

Sanity now and beyond me  
I will always love you.
However long I stay
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say
I will always love you.
There's no choice.  

(**segues to**)


I will always love you.  (repeat 6x)

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm whole again

I will always love you
There's no choice
