<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">took a portion of my soul and wove a bed for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told me to be beautiful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told me to be serene</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saved it all for you, but what of me?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Poisonous and frightful, you came for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">took a knife to my heart and made a grave for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told me to be beautiful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told me I looked serene</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was the fairest once, but what of me?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A coffin of glass, you had made for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">placed the panes of glass upon the ground just for me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">told me to be beautiful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">behind the glass I'd be serene</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would lay frozen in my beauty, all of me</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off, in the first quarter, there went my hopes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next up, second quarter, my heart he broke</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Half time, nothing thrilling, perhaps a joke?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Third quarter, I'm exhausted, where's the rope?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tied a knot, for the last quarter, holding hope</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year, all my wanting had been disposed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You see, in my needing, I had lost my hopes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From my, my resolve, my voice was choked</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surely, broke my heart, in a jest he spoke?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Third quarter, I'm exhausted, where's the rope?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the end, last quarter, a knotted rope to choke</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the end comes swiftly, knotted gently, let it go</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not worth it, better focus, no one needs to know</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Better fight on, next year's lights on, onward ho!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greet the new year with a new cheer not as a foe</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greet the new year without fear, let the past go</span><br />

Your sword in hand and hair blown free<br />
You're smiling face and sea blue eyes<br />
Are a waiting home but I'm paralyzed<br />
The hill is too far; the tree is gone<br />
The place beneath the sky there is wrong<br />
I am trapped in memories dressed as dreams<br />
Why do nightmares dress in yesterday's seams?<br />
Where is the hill and the old oak tree?<br />
Where does your sword rest alone waiting?<br />
You're smiling face and sea blue eyes<br />
Are nowhere near and I'm paralyzed<br />
The hill is lost and the tree is gone<br />
You're missing from me and I'm alone<br />
<i>Tu me manques</i> but still appear in dreams<br />
Why do nightmares dress in yesterday's seams?<br />
You're missing from me with your eyes like sea<br />
<i>Tu me manques mon amour</i>, do you miss me?<br />
I'm paralyzed and waiting...<br />
...but this is all a dream<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My devil at the front door; you're my wishing well</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sultry like the moonlight for lovers who've caressed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have spilled my sins before you all of them confessed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Singing to the street lights and the ghosts all know your name</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope they keep quiet, keep this secret our little game</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My thoughts are all a mess</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My effervescent holiness</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your hair is in the clouds and I'm swirling 'round</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bubbling over, bursting, higher, higher</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You're my doll and my diamond; my descent into hell</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My devil in the darkness; you're my wishing well</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sweetest, kissed by starlight; my soul has been possessed </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have left my sins before you all of them confessed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beneath your starlit eyes I have been undressed</span><br />

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

<br />
picking at the scabs, pulling out my hair<br />
scraping on the walls, but nobody's there<br />
digging in the floors, slamming doors<br />
running up and down the floors<br />
racing to my bed against thoughts in my head<br />
scattered on the floor, nothing more<br />
falling all a part in dark macabre art<br />
suddenly insanity is real<br />
plucking at my eyes, pulling at my hair<br />
scratching on the walls for a mural there<br />
pull a part the floors, slamming doors<br />
running up and down all those floors<br />
racing to my bed against monsters in my head<br />
screaming at the door, nothing more<br />
fall all a part in a dark macabre art<br />
suddenly insanity is reality<br />
is taking me<br />
down<br />
down all the floors<br />
through all the doors<br />
where is the solace anymore?<br />
I hear the roar<br />
Monsters in my head are crying for my death<br />
picking at the scabs, pulled out all my hair<br />
scratched up all the walls without any care<br />
tore a part the floors, locked all the doors<br />
ran too many times up and down the floors<br />
raced straight to my bed against monsters in my head<br />
scarred inside my soul, nothing more<br />
fall all a part in a dark macabre art<br />
suddenly insanity is all of me<br />
all that's left of me<br />
now<br />

"Stagnant or Calm?"<br />
<br />
there are funny moments where i notice<br />
you still me<br />
my raucous spirit settles<br />
the waves all cease<br />
is this a type of death<br />
or birth in me?<br />
is it like stagnant water<br />
or a calm sea?<br />
you come around and stand there<br />
you still me<br />
and i wonder what it means<br />

"Flame on the Shore"<br />
<br />
She said I've been feeling like a flame<br />
on the shore<br />
Destined to be washed away<br />
but meant for something more<br />
<br />
I said fires shouldn't be near the sea<br />
Fires shouldn't be where they're not meant to be<br />
