Magdalena
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
for 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 temperamental goat
the snail while he's
feeding on the rose
stay frozen
compromise what I will I am
bend around the wind silently
blown 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
shut down and terrified
your deer in the headlights
locked down and horrified
when push comes to pull
comes to shove comes to
step around this self-destructive 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
play dead play your
beat down gun-shy martyr
pitiful I rose I roared I will I am

Judith
you're such an
inspiration
for the ways
that I will never ever choose to be
oh so many ways for me
to show you how your savior
has abandoned you

fuck your god
he did this
took all you had
and left you this way
still you pray
never stray
never taste of the fruit
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

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
never thought to question why

it's 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 this all to 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
here I can almost hear you scream give me one more medicated peaceful moment
because I don't want to feel
this overwhelming hostility
gotta cut away clear away
snip away and sever this umbilical residue
that's 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 same
difficult not to feel
a little bit disappointed and passed over
when I've looked right through to see you
naked and oblivious and you don't see me
but 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 through it all and see you
so I threw you the obvious to see what occurs
behind the eyes of a fallen angel
eyes of a tragedy
oh well apparently nothing
you don't see me you don't see me at all

Sleeping Beauty
delusional
I believed I could
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 could heal you
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 could wake you from your slumber
that I could actually heal you
sleeping beauty poisoned and hopeless
far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
far beyond a visible sign of you awakening
and hiding from some poisoned memory
poisoned and hopeless sleeping beauty

Thomas
humbled 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
and show me the way to let go
illuminate me
I'm just praying for you
to show me where I'm to begin
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
I know so well spent and sighing
with that look in your eye
spent and sighing with a look on your face
like sweet revelation sweet surrender
thinking of you thinking of you
sweet revelation sweet surrendering

Brena
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 all right
heal me heal me my dear breņa
show me lonely and show me openings
to lead me closer to you my dear breņa
so vulnerable but it's all right
opening to heal

Over
been over this before

Diary Of A Love Song
screaming out the window
watch me die
another day hopeless situation
endless price I'll have to pay
diary 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 whole again
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 I will always love you
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
