A Perfect Circle

run desire, run this sexual being
run him like a blade to and through the heart
no conscience, one motive to 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.

it's time to bring this fire down. bridle all this indiscretion
long enough to edify and permanently fill this hollow.
feed me, fill me up again. temporarily pacifying
feed me here, fill me up again.
temporarily pacify this hungering.

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 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 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
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

tuggin a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
tuggin 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 bre–a
guides me safely in worlds i've never been to
heal me, heal me my dear bre–a

so vulnerable, but it's all right
heal me, heal me my dear bre–a

show me lonely and show me openings
to lead me closer to you, my dear bre–a

so vulnerable, but it's all right
opening to heal

Over
