You're My Doll and My Diamond

Temptress, you go by, passing by me
Swirling like a ghost, like a dream I've been fighting
Clouds are in your hair and a tower over there
Was erected for the show to see you dancing, fair

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil at the back door; you're my wishing well
Sultry like the starlight for wishers who've been blessed
I have spilled my sins before you all of them confessed

Writhing in the lamp lights and the ghosts all know your name
Tell them to keep quiet for the secrets are our game
My thoughts are all a mess
My effervescent holiness 
Your hair is in the clouds and I'm swirling 'round

Temptress, you go by, leading my eye, you see
Swirling like a ghost, a daydream I've been seeking
Clouds are in your hair and that tower over there
Startles all the sky, have a care, so sweet, so fair

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil at the front door; you're my wishing well
Sultry like the moonlight for lovers who've caressed
I have spilled my sins before you all of them confessed

Singing to the street lights and the ghosts all know your name
I hope they keep quiet, keep this secret our little game
My thoughts are all a mess
My effervescent holiness
Your hair is in the clouds and I'm swirling 'round
Bubbling over, bursting, higher, higher

You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell
My devil in the darkness; you're my wishing well
Sweetest, kissed by starlight; my soul has been possessed 
I have left my sins before you all of them confessed
Beneath your starlit eyes I have been undressed

Poisoning Walls Defeat Ice

"Walls of Ice"

Icicles have walled up my heart
Haven't heard your voice in a long while
Once I would have missed the sound
Perhaps my ears have iced over, too
Echoes linger of you in every part
Yearning for you stopped after a while
Once I would have felt so bound
Until I broke free and let go of you
Finally, I walked away but the coldness spread
All of my insides are frozen over
Like I made walls of ice to keep out the sun
Like I made walls of ice to keep out the love
Once I would have fought the apathy
Not now, oh no, I let it wash over me
You don't get to burn me with your love
Or erase my need with all your wants
Until I broke free, I never knew how bound I was
Rescued by reason and my walls have grown
Frozen high, icy towers in my soul
All of my insides are iced over
Couldn't let you burn me anymore
Everything ...is going numb

"Poisoning Defeat"

My too wild heart, my ribs have caged
My soul so long in want has aged
My lifeless eyes are shunned by you
No longer will my body do
You want a viper
You want a thief
You want a devil who offers relief
You want a demon
You want a piece
Of the pie with poison release
My too wild heart, my ribs have caged
My heart so long a war has waged
My parched lips can't utter what you need
From you I beg a word, I plead
But you want a viper
You want a thief
Your mistress offers your relief
She'll be your devil
Her tongue so sweet
Yet her poisoning is your defeat
