Your love is sweeter than wine - oh I taste it
Your smile is sweeter than wine - don’t I know
You should trust in the beat of your heart
You should believe in the words that are on your lips
Don’t fear to speak them
My love, my love, life can be so hard - if you force it
Believe in me 'cause i believe in you
I believe in the beauty in your eyes, in the power of your words, I believe, I believe in your purity
You'll set me free, you'll set the whole world free
I believe in the beat of your heart
I trust the words I kiss from your lips

i watch him in the moonlight, snow dances across his body
i’m not the person you think i am
i want him immediately, to experience that passion
it all, it all, it all hurts me
we’re slumped over, spent, panting ~ on broken dishes my disheveled world
to prove my love for you to prove my love for you to prove my love for you to prove my love
i see him smile unknowingly, i feel the urge to strike
this waiting tears the flesh from my bones
we’re slumped over, spent, panting ~ on overturned carts life beyond my grasp
to prove my love for you to prove my love for you to prove my love for you to prove my love

Knock three times

Autumn leaves blowing across my floor
Windows broken out by the mean kids who live next door
And there she is, well not her exactly but the box she likes to sleep in
She was so cute in a skinny kinda way; and they say:
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe if the answer, answer is no
She put with all the taunts all the nasty things they'd say
She'd smile and pretend to ignore them but she stored it all away
Don't blame me, don't blame me, they drove her 'round the bend
She was so cute in a 'why-don't-you-get-out-and-see-the-sun' kinda way; and they say:
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe if the answer, answer is no, no, no
The world grew dark, insane men ruled, our stomachs kept on grumbling
But we had fun, we danced a lot, if you don't count all that stumbling
She was so cute in a 'why-don't-you-put-some-meat-on-those-bones' kinda way, kinda way
Kinda weighs not much than the mice and skeletons that run across my floor
Mice and skeletons that dance across my floor
Knock three times on your coffin lid if you want my love
Twice on the pipe if the answer, answer is no, no, no
Knock three times on your coffin if you want my love
Twice on the pipe if the answer, answer is no
Knock three times
Knock three times

Damn swan!

damn, damn swan
thinking of me
half submerged in the warm water
thinking of you
take my innocence away
that long neck wrapped around me
those soft wings beating against me
thrashing me
damn majestic bird
i want to feel his feathers and beak and clawing webby feet tearing at me
i want to know the love of a god. empower me! transform me!
a shudder in my loins, the deception’s complete; gaining nothing i lie in the water,
his indifferent beak lets me drop...
damn majestic bird

Already forgotten

i stood at the door of a house you told me was yours.
i waited. the rain fell on me.
but i was alone, interminably alone.
your window was closed. you’ll never know i was here.
i thought to walk away. my emptiness stabs right through me.
my thoughts plaguing me. deceiving me.
and isn’t that just like it always is?
and isn’t that just like it always is?
my name forgotten, my letter unopened. the emptiness pours out of me.
you’ll forget, you’ll forget me, if you haven’t already forgotten.
and isn’t that just like it always is?
and isn’t that just like it always is?
i could have kissed you, could have held you, i could have felt so, so much.
i’m frightened to inaction, my dark empty touch.
i’m heartless, i’m thoughtless, i turned you away.
this city is despair, these walls will all collapse.
your door remains unopen. in my mind i wait forever.
you upstairs: beautiful and young.
i age on your step. my name long forgotten,
as i wait. i wait.
i’m unable to leave, unable to knock.
as i wait. i wait.

they tell her soon the morning will return and she will drift to sleep
blackened sleep, dreamless sleep
i need you to feel alive
i’m on the fourth floor, have i been here all night?
hear voices in the hall, they disappear
her steps echo down the tiny curved streets
where the cold wind reaches the center rooms
fighting back the secret
i need you to feel alive

Dagger

if i could look down from the vantage of an enraged god
i’d pass judgement on your betrayal, proceed with your punishment
scratch that apologetic smile from your beautiful face
convert my falling tears to daggers that impale you
pierce the flesh i love and drive the life from your body
the lovely body i’ve held to mine
our last moments filled with pain and unspeakable pleasure
our last moments filled with pain and unspeakable pleasure
i would lick your wounds and kiss the blood from your eyes
our bodies entangled, like lovers, locked!
as existence fades from your silver eyes, intimately you hold me
in an instant of enlightenment, i’d like to think you see what’s lost
the two of us will end, the beauty sentenced to death
the two of us will end
if i had the will of a god, i’d leave you impaled to die
but i don’t have the will of a god, i kneel in the street with my anger spent
i betray myself for years on end,
breathing so difficult when you’ve chosen to suffocate

halo star ~ there you are ~ dreaming of the pendulum blade
don’t rush away. don’t say ‘it’s all ok...’
halo star ~ could have gone far ~ shocked by the pain of your assassination
so tell me you’re happy. you’re not. you’re not
halo star ~ your wishes i oblige. what can i do but oblige?
halo star ~ halo star
halo star ~ there you are ~ don’t rush away. it’s not ok...
