If I could find a way to reach you,
a way to open up your eyes,
I would give you my forever
so that you might realize
all you are is far above me,
on the altar for which I pray;
keep your sweet perfection for me
and I swear I'll find the way.

Parylized, love I must;
Pacified, love I trust.

Have you heard my last confession?
Has it sunken through and through?
Tell me now all that you yearn for,
I will seize it on your cue.
Give me time and give me strength
and my piteous worth I will prove;
I will shed the blood you ask for,
I have everything to lose.

Parylized, love I must;
Pacified, love I trust.

(quiet)
Keep me not for how I treat you,
Keep me for the life I live.
Keep me not for what I offer,
Keep me for the love I give
(repeats)

Dysfunctional Cat!

He has a defective purr
Nappy, knotty, orange fur
Pink skin where he has bald spots
And where most of his blood clots

A beverage is the kitchen sink
The toilet - alcoholic drink
The bathtub has become a chair
Though he'll sleep most anywhere

Dysfunctional cat!
Dysfunctional cat!
Dysfunctional cat!

He never plays anymore
He lies in a rope on the floor
Or behind the drainer
And gets wet from the strainer

When in heat, he wants his gram
But she doesn't give a damn
He won't take tuna or lunchmeat
But dog food he likes to eat

Dysfunctional cat!
Dysfunctional cat!
Dysfunctional cat!

Dysfunctional cat!

Lady In Waiting

There is a stinging which I love
in my whore of a heart
it pangs and twists
forever constricting
forever inflicting
my purity
my sanity
my devotion untold
(the blackest sin I hold)

Keep me down
Spin me around
Spit on me at your leisure
(don't say you'll never leave her)

I loved your dagger very dear
and held it as my own
I'd thrust it farther for you
(you know) I am
forever willing
forever killing
my confidence
my tolerance
for your inflicted pain
(your darling's love will wane)

Keep me down
Spin me around
Hurt me at your leisure
(don't vow you'll never leave her)

Keep me down
Spin me around
Kill me at your leisure
(don't swear you'll always please her)

(quiet)
I'll keep your dagger
sweet darling dear
I'll hold your dagger
so very near...

In The Dead Of The Night

In all things that I do
I'm ever without you
I can't take another
dark eve

I don't want the crying
The cancer, the dying
Why can't you deplete all
my needs

I dream of myself in your arms
I dream of myself free from harm
I dream of a kiss in the rain
I dream of a release from pain

I want you within me
I want you to sin me
But I want no lust full
of lies

I know you would feel me
Could you ever heal me
With ev'ry sweet touch of
your eyes

My dreams are so far away
My dreams are without the day
I dream of a lost embrace
I dream of a single taste

I dream of dreams as you used to
I dream of dreams as you still do
I dream of love abound in you
I dream of everything untrue

I dream of never loving you..

Transparent Salvation

You are the only thing that's left
In purgatory,
So does it make sense
In this instance
That you would asphyxiate me?
You come to me in empty woods
I've hollwed with my tears
And though I'm glad you came
To tempt this stupid game
I cannot move
I cannot speak
I cannot breathe

*Don't leave me alone now (I need you)
Don't let your life unzip (I need you)
Don't find your way out now (I need you)
Don't let yourself slip... (I need you here with me)

You will not speak to me at all
Although you urge me
You choke me up
You never stop
You cannot let me die in my own tears
Don't lean so close to me, my dear
You're strangling my tale
The smoldering surrounds
This haven you have found
And I cannot escape your voice
So deathly clear

*(repeat)

Don't you leave me
(I need you here by my side)
Don't concieve me
(you don't know how much I've cried)
Don't believe me
(you won't believe how I died)
Don't relieve me
(no matter how much I try)

You will not decieve me now

*(repeat)

And you will not decieve me now.

Beautiful

You're so beautiful
When you're blue
When there's tears
Coursed down your face
I can't keep up with you.

You're so gorgeous
When you're small
When you feel
Invisible
I want to eat you all.

You're so stunning
When you cry
When the world
Falls on your back
You glitter in my eye

You say, "Why do you love me so
When I outcry the rain?"
But I can't help but
Want to grab you up
When you're in pain
You say, "Why do you pursue me
When tears sting blind my eyes?"
But when you are so
Vulnerable
I have to ask you why

You're so loveable
When you're hurt
When you scream
Into the sun
You make me want you more

You're so kissable
When you're down
When your heart
Is sunken low
I want to spin you around

You say, "Why do you love me so
When I scream out to die?"
But I can't help but
Stare at you with
Wonder in my eyes
You say, "Why do you pursue me
When I drown in my tears?"
But when you are so
Broken through, I
Want to slay your fears

You're so beautiful
When you're blue
When there's tears
Coursed down your face
I fall in love with you...

Outside The Lines

Where do you find
That you are so kind
When intolerance taints
Your excuse for a mind?
You're all-knowing, you say
And things are just this way
For reasons that I
Simply will never sway

*But where is your justification now?
What do you have but superstition and mages?
And what will you do when you're proven untrue
When you're finally given your book's missing pages?

You are so sure
In your fiction and lore
That has sick'ned me to
Tears and clawed out my core
Why can't you step back
See through more than the crack
That has denied you all
Your heart yearns for and lacks?

*(repeat)

I don't hate your book
But you maim my outlook
And you won't let me breathe
Though your methods
Will cause me to seethe

*(repeat)
