1. The Hollow
run, desire, run this sexual being
run him like a blade to & through the heart
no conscience, one motive...
to cater to the hollow.
screaming

indiscretions down.

constantly consuming.
conquer and devour.
itīs 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 pacify this hungering.
2. Magdalena
Overcome by your moving temple overcome by
this holiest of altars so pure so rare to witness such a earthly
goddess
I lost my self control beyond compelled to
throw this dollar down before your holiest of altars
Iīll sell my soul my self-esteem a dollar
at a time
for one chance one kiss one taste of you my
magdalena
Iīve beared witness to this place, this
lair, so long forgotten so pure, so rare, to witness such a
lovely goddess
and Iīd sell my soul my self-esteem a
dollar at a time
for one chance one kiss one taste of you my
black madonna
Iīll sell my soul my self-esteem a dollar
at a time
for one taste of you my magdalena
3. Rose
donīt disturb the beast the temperamental goat the snail
while heīs feeding on the rose stay frozen compromise what i will i am
bend around the wind silently blown about again
iīm 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 wouldīve 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
4. Judith
youīre 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.
Thank(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.
itīs not like you killed someone.
itīs 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 heīs the one who did this to you
thought to question why
itīs not like you killed someone.
itīs 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.
5. Orestes
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb One chain One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I donīt wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I donīt wanna feel this world around me hostility
Kill it
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you
6. 3 Libras
threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when iīve looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and
you donīt see me.but i threw you the obvious
just to see if thereīs more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the 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 donīt see me.
you donīt see me at all.
7. 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 youīre 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
8. 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 iīm just praying for you to show me
where iīm to begin
hoping to reconnect to you
9. Renholder

10. 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 thatīs 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
11. Brena
my reflection wraps and pulls me under healing waters to be bathed in
Brena guides me safely in worlds iīve never been to heal me heal me my dear Brena
so vulnerable but itīs all right heal me heal me my dear Brena
show me lonely and show me openings to lead me closer to you my dear Brena
so vulnerable but itīs all right opening to heal
12. Over
been over, been over this before
been over and over
been over this before
And over, been over this before
so over this.
Been over this.
So over this.
Been over this.
Over this before
