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

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.

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

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.

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.
