Disarmed

It was a shot in the dark
A gesture made in blindness
My loose arms were caught in caution
Should they bind me to my word
Which is always blurred
When fingers touch first
I had a taste of the fog
A history in my bedroom
The freckle on your mouth
Remembered like an heirloom
I had no truth to assume
And no god to confess to
But I was hypnotized by the size of your mind
And I was hypnotized by the size of your mind
Disarmed by design
Disarmed by design
Hypnotized
I am hypnotized
There was no mirror in my chasm
Until appeared a paramour
Fevered-blistered bonsai
Straining out my vocal chords
I had no sun to grow toward
Or stone to pull a sword from
And when it comes it says “build, build, build your guard”
And when it feeds, it makes a banquet of the harvest
This disease is like a drowning thief
I’d rather keep you from it
And let it sink me
But I was hypnotized by the size of your mind
And I was hypnotized by the size of your mind
Disarmed by design
Disarmed by design
Hypnotized
I am hypnotized

Vampire

I’ve been fearsome
Sucking on my sore thumb
Living off of morsels
Trying to fill my torso
20 dollars left to me
But you’ll have me sing for free
But you’ll have me sing for free
Vampire sets his eyes on me
You tried to suck me dry
Sink your teeth in and imprison me
But I’d die before you take your bite
Cross my heart and hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight
It’s been weird though
I’m so comfortable
In my black hole
Swearing that I’m in control
20 dollars left to me
But a dollar will not set me free
A dollar will not set me free
When a vampire sets his eyes on me
You tried to suck me dry
Sink your teeth in and imprison me
But I’d die before you take your bite
Cross my heart and hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight
I don’t know where the time goes by
I carry it around like a blackened eye
Bonsai beauty, hindered in size
Kept me contained so I learned not to rise
Oh, to be beneath
The ones who one day will recognize me
Can’t hide their teeth
Hungered, and suited to vandalize me
It always seemed to drain me white
Since I was 15 and young as pink wine
Taken work horse, then taken hide
Cut from the bloom and mending the bite
You tried to suck me dry
Sink your teeth in and imprison me
But I’d die before you take your bite
Cross my heart and hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight
Hope to keep alight

Debauchery
03:23
|
|

Kids these days, they don’t ask
With their brains or their hearts
Smoke and mirrors and hiding
In their rooms, not finding
Their desires with their hands
Talk, not walk
In no man’s land
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be
The great divided, and gravely undecided
Kept up in the dark with our affections unrequited
We’re so unkind
I’m leaning from my envy
I’m kneeling to my touchscreen
An unfeeling debauchee
Veneered until I’m something
Our desires are in our own hands
But we just talk shit
As we walk into no man’s land
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be
In no man’s land
In no man’s land
In no man’s land
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be
Debauchery ain’t what it used to be

Deep Woods
03:30

When I was lost in the deep woods
Drowning in the river
Poisoned by the foliage
And the absence of shelter
I think you came looking once
In the late evening
Sauntering in, calling my name
Your impatient tones carried by the wind
Carried by the wind
My tongue was swollen
I could not answer
But as quickly as you came, you left the deep woods
Knowing I would make it
I’m trying to see the path
But it is simply too dark
I’m attempting to stay warm
But I cannot light a fire
I remember the medicine
I made for you when you were sick
I added my right hand
And the yellow spirit
Yellow spirit
My tongue was swollen
I could not answer
But as quickly as you came, you left the deep woods
Knowing I would make it
I don’t often pray
But I am praying
Not to find a way
But to forget that I prayed

16 Years

16 years, 16 years
By 16 I carved a canyon of tears
I’m still so young, crystal new
16 years between me and you
My baby he got me a big hotel
Picked away at my dented shell
My lover and I might die in song
Cause his full-time lover’s eight months along
16 candles, 100 fears
By 16 you were a broken spear
In a safe city we fell into the moon
16 years between me and you
Well I’ve been a bad girl, but I’ll write a good song
He said I’m wise, but I think he’s wrong
I’m building a garden
Building a shrine
For a tempestuous lover
Who isn’t mine
Will he tear me apart?
Or do I give my quarted heart?
Will this love come and drown me dark
Or sail me away like Noah’s Ark
Like Noah’s Ark
16 years, 16 years
By 16 I carved a canyon of tears
I’m still so young, crystal new
16 years between me and you

My Hunter, My Forest
03:10

Forehead , light my forehead
Light my forehead, light my forehead
Forehead , light my forehead
Light my forehead, light my forehead
I was buried on the mountainside
I missed the light, so I wiped my eyes
Wedding dress tucked in between my thighs
I was the apple of his eye
Before he took my life
Night sky grows the sunset
Like blossoms from my forehead
Tinder of the forest
I kneel myself before it
If you go to the mountainside
You may sense a lifeless light
If you look, then you just might
See her pasture draped in white
Night sky wilts the sunset
Like blossoms from my forehead
My hunter and my forest
He cut me down before it
I was buried on the mountainside
I missed the light, so I wiped my eyes
Wedding dress tucked in between my thighs
I was the apple of his eye before he took my life
To the mountainside
To the mountainside
