Don't Be (with Mythica)

Play your violin child
Send your spiral down
Send it down, send it down, send it down
Oh let it be wicked child
Send your spirit out
Send it out, send it out, send it out.
Hold it down, hold it out, bring me to peace
On my knees
Don't be a dangerous little monster
It's only here where you'll save me
Here in your dark, bright eyes
Don't be someone to carry over
Something that can't be seen
I'm not what I seem to be.
Oh let it be new child
Hold it down till you can't breathe
Can't breathe, can't breathe my love
Oh let it be new child
An unfamiliar glance
Forbidden romance to dance with him
Hold it down, hold it out, bring me to peace
On my knees

Killers (with Kamu)

My choice in your hands
Your faith my command
Our souls yours to damn
By the cross of faceless man
Run from the killers.

Amber
03:46
|

Amber is the color of the sunset in the west.
Amber is the color of the pain inside my chest.
And amber is the color of your eyes in the light.
All I see is amber when I close my eyes at night.
Amber is the rock inside my broken heart.
Amber is the sunshine inside my lonely dark.
When all the crystals of the sea have finally been won
The only stone I leave unturned is the amber one back home.
Amber is the color of the fire inside my soul.
Amber is the taste of my tears as I go.
And amber is the color of the rolling waves of grain.
Amber is my happiness when I come home again.

Escape (with Mythica)
04:49

There's a goddess by the river
They called her by name
They called her upon the fairy plane
When she sings in his ear, it lulls him to sleep
And I am hypnotized kissing her feet
The tide and the turn, the way that she moved
The bridge that I could have crossed over to you
Why did I burn it? Why did you sink?
There I was hypnotized over the brink
There I was hypnotized over the brink
There's a goddess by the river
They love how she moves
Tip-toeing over the tightrope for you
She glances, dances, gathers her flowers
Presses them into a pagan bible
Handing the boys copies of Mozart
Spreading herself like a canvas of art
For them to all paint on while I hold back
All of my brushes colors they lack
All of my brushes colors they lack
Hey come on over and play girl
Come and enter my world
See my magic unfurl
Hey come on over and see
I have so many candies
From my main man Charlie
There's a goddess by the river
They called her by name
But the minute I reached her
It was too late
For she had gone fishing
She'd taken the bait
I'm still in her net and I cannot escape
I'm still in her net and I cannot escape

Accidental Angel
04:18
|

Make something out of nothing just to burn it all down.
Insert yourself into it just to pull out.
I wanna stay inside it. I wanna cut the rope and let it all go.
But how can I plant it when I just refuse to let it grow?
Ooo my accidental angel. Ooo you pulled me out of hell
Into the sky. Into the sky.
I changed the locks on my heart just to make you break in.
Divide the lies between us to share in the sin.
You saw that I was empty so you climbed inside to color my walls.
But now that I've imploded, here's the technicolor rubble of your love.
I stand naked by the fire and howl at the flames
While you calculate your numbers in their Ponzi scheme.
We've grown so much together that our fates are intertwined.
But will there come a day when we have coiled so tight we begin
To unwind?

Forces of light I ask you to be by our side
We need you here now
They stole my faith, they stole my light
And I do not see an end in sight
We need you here now
Bring all your fathers so holy and true
Come and bless this little boy
You deny yourself a wife
And so cold and dark are your nights
So you turn to this crime
I said hey hey, it's time for us to change
Hey hey, it's time for us to illuminate
Our hearts and our minds before it's too late
Hey hey, it's time for us to change
Hey hey, it's time for you to rearrange
The way you see my faith
Nine years pass, you're still a Judas
Preaching love, but there's no justice
Please just let him rest in peace
All we've got is embarrassment
A government that doesn't give a shit
So was your savior a marine?
Don't deny me my star of life
Don't deny me my rights
Don't deny me my star of life
Inside your culture of lies

Three degrees from PMDD to insanity
Diagnoses and psychotherapy
You're either too crazy or not crazy enough
It's true: it's the artist's Catch-22.
Well I love your "was-band" but just for his words
A short little bald man with a sexy tight verse
Could he give my man a pointer or two
On how to love a woman who's loosened her screws?
Did you get my postcard Carrie from the edge of my heart?
The one I mailed to you right before I jumped?
Oh it's a million miles from Denver to Newark
Will I ever get there before I fall apart?
I'm an imposter at an Al-Anon group
I need something stronger than this chicken soup
To heal my addiction to anonymous praise
To halt my quest for elusive fame.
A million miles, a million roads
One princess, a million toads
I do the show, I go home alone.
Carrie is this just how it goes?
Do you like this song about my mental state?
Too bad it won't see any radio play.
I guess the only way to get famous these days
Is to go "Gaga" half naked at the cabaret.

Hey ho through the forest I'll go
To take this gold left long ago
Water will run and the trees will grow
And many miles I've still to go
Smoke and flame from fire bright
Warm my heart and bones tonight
When evil creeps along the road
Sit and stare three trolls of stone
Take me back, back to the days
When gardens grew and children played
Upon the hills of red and green
Where glitter and gold was never seen.
When evil slept and goodness reigned
Before this trinket around this chain
There lived a queen so strong and pure
Across the lands the peace endured
But soon there came a darker day
The good queen did the dark lord slay
Now all along this road I run
What's come to be must be undone.

Vicarious (remix)
06:03

Carbon freeze takes away twelve degrees of me
Water down your sea
Mission complete
Now I understand what it takes to become a man
Come in from behind
Teach how to divide
What difference can I make when all women mistake
Their lovelessness with hate?
This stained glass ceiling, it's falling down on me
So I'll live vicariously.
Thinking way too hard, may this be my bard
Sexton is my home.
I feel so alone.
What difference can I make when all women mistake
Their lovelessness with hate?
This stained glass ceiling, it's falling down on me
So I'll live vicariously.
So when you go I know how to be your shadow
And your treasure full of gold
We'll fly away my love out to that sea beyond.
I will live.
Vicarious.
