RIDE (digital release, August 10, 2021)
Just Say When
I guess you see me blowing up my Spot again
I guess you see blowing it, just say when
I blow up my spot every now and then
It's just what I do
And you know it
I find a spot
And then I blow it
You know it's true
But I just can't be a victim
Despite their conviction
No I would rather set fire to all of this, wouldn't you?
I guess you see me blowing up my Spot again
You daring me to blow it up, so just say when
I am non-violent
But non-compliant
So I cannot be SILENT
I guess you see me blowing my Spot again
You daring me to blow it up, so just say when
I am non-violent
BUT NOT COMPLIANT
This isn't Science...
Lazy Daze RV
So I have been hearing your voice in my head
For what? Like a year now?
I just want to be with you, but I'm stuck here instead.
Still, I'm gonna make it through somehow
Trying to find Time Travel and Light Healing
I am seeking your Ghost
Your FEELING!
I could not leave such a vast ruin behind!
Trying to fix the house as if you were still alive!
I know that you are with our child!
Our life was one crazy ride
You are my sweetest friend
And WE WILL RIDE AGAIN!
Death is not the End.
I am gonna get me a Lazy Daze RV
And I am hoping that you will ride shotgun with me...
So I am seeking Tesla Tech
You two share a birthday, how could I forget?
I know that there is no such thing as Time
And I know somehow you're still ALIVE!
I am gonna get me a Lazy Daze RV
And I am hoping that you will ride shotgun with me...
Into a World of High Frequency
Where Everything is LIGHT and ENERGY.
And MELODY...
Above the Little Yellow House
A song about independent music and some other "things." ;)
Shout out to my friends James Raftery and 607 -- My Cosmic Brothers in Sound!
jamesraftery.bandcamp.com
iam607.bandcamp.com
Oh they're in the sky
Every night
Above my little yellow house
Oh they blink in and out
above the little yellow house
And it's amazing
To see them phasing
Up there High Strange-ing
Above the little yellow house
phasing in and out
see them through the clouds
Above the yellow house
Oh they're in the sky
Every night
Above
The little yellow house
Up above the clouds
Phasing in and out
There, above
my little yellow house
Now I have near-death vision
After all the incisions
And I can see it all now!
I have near-death vision
After all the incisions
Uncloaked Unseen World, I see You on your Mission!
There are two Realities and We must Bridge them
What else is there to do?
We are living in between Earth and Heaven
You know life is but a dream?
There are two Realities and We must Bridge them
And so I listen to my Friends
And to the melodies of James and 607
INDEPENDENT like me, and so they are my Brethren...
FIX (digital release, April 7, 2021)
Glass Menagerie
Still partly in 3D
so my amnesiac soul
still searches restlessly
for my truer Home
I have been to many Worlds
I have traveled to them many Times
Still, I fix the little yellow House
Because it is a Spot on Earth
that we liked
So did you see the glass menagerie?
I look for sentience in Everything
Everything feels
Sure, you can call it “imaginary”
I call it cryptozoology, so there. ;)
And Everything Feels
And it is ALL REAL
And so, I fix the little yellow House...
where the little menagerie
can walk around
Fluffy
And so I’m feeling so light
Vining high
so light & fluffy like styro
just so you know
Like a cloud — all lit-up — with a storm inside it, though
Just so you know
Light & fluffy like styro
Vining
Surviving
And so I need to tell you: I really love Disco!
And AM Radio.
And I can feel you Thriving on the other end of the globe, deep in my Soul
Just so you know
Feeling fluffy like styro
and Vibin’
Feeling fluffy like styro
Alivin’
Staying Alive an’ fluffy like styro
Vining
A cloud, with a storm inside it, though
Like lightning
Vibing…
Like lightning
Message
Hello
Please don’t comply with your captors
Hello?
What—? Am I speaking in code?
Open the door!
You are so much better than this
You are the cosmos AND the spaceship
You are greater than you know
You are Light
You are Soul
So stand up and fight!
This has all happened before
This has all happened before
So just let go
How can you not know?
They are just waiting for us to show
that we are ready for them
They are so close
But we must deserve it
I see there’s more work to do
You must’ve heard it, and seen it, too
I’m just here with a message for you…
HELLO EARTHLING (digital release December 31, 2020)
Hello Earthling

They said, “Hello Earthling…” “Hello Earthling.” They said, “Hello Earthling…” They said, “Hello Earthling…” They said, “Hello Earthling…” They said: “Hello Earthling, I see you have discovered our Out-Of-Place Artifacts And we see that you’ve uncovered some of the clues we’ve left We see you noticing your hidden history and working together to solve the mysteries You are brave, unraveling this tangled mess and remember you have travelled lifetimes for this… So don’t let them hassle you with tin cans we bring you Light Ships we’ve been waiting lifetimes for this for Centuries they’ve clouded your Consciousness Just look!

VIBING (digital release, November 14, 2020)
Vibing
I was born an angry mystic
just been trying to get along
finding treasure everywhere
and breaking into song
now I’m an untethered thing
no mooring and no sense
so I shut myself inside the house
Born an angry mystic
just been trying to get along
traveling through silences
then breaking into song
now I’m an untethered thing
no mooring and no sense
so I shut myself inside the house
and I make myself some friends
armed with paint and glue and string
add some gems and glitterings
affix some stones and shells and things
and also special charms
weave in buttons, yarn, more string
feathers, crystals, shimmerings
I add some jewels to my friends
and then I make a World
for them
and there’s a clearing and a House
and the Door is opening
and all the lights come out and the sounds
Ah ha!
It’s a party!
So everybody dance!
and twirl around!
and then pick up the stitches off the ground
Everybody sway
to The Sound
the bees are celebrating Now!
And so we Vibe
all night
get up and go again on the coaster ride
vibing to the sound of seashells
VIBE!
and so we dance and sway
and the bees swarm around us and celebrate
just vibing
Vibing…
THE ORACLE SAID (digital release, October 10, 2020)
The Oracle Said (AKA 2020 Vision)
And so once again you find yourself in a world
where no one is listening
So your message stays unheard
And you only want to tell them:
Look! There’s a better world!
And the Oracle said: “It won’t be long now!”
What if we’re on the cusp of releasing hidden technologies?
And what if it leads to healing sound and light therapies?
What if there was a glass bed
that could fix you while you sleep?
And what if there was something
that could mend you totally?
And what if Snow White’s coffin wasn’t just a story?
What if it was really one of those high-tech machines?
And what if NONE OF THIS IS WHAT IT SEEMS.
So then just leave me to my Imagination
This is the year of 2020 Vision
You don’t have to believe me, or agree
it’s just a difference of perception
So I’m gonna get up and I’m gonna dust off!
Because if we don’t, it’s like admitting we’ve lost.
And when Alice jumped down that rabbit hole
And when they tried to kill Snow
that was not The End
No!
It was the beginning
and they got up, dusted off again.
What other choice was there?
were they gonna wallow in despair?
I don’t think so
No!
Don’t know exactly when
but they got up, dusted off again
And when they give you poison apples
take a nap in a glass casket ;)
You’ll be good as new
So just keep your mind open
You can’t fault me for hoping
It could heal you, too.
SEPTEMBER DAY (digital release: September 29, 2020)
September Day
(Dialog from the movie “I’ll Never Forget You”
There is no charge for this recording, and the dialog from the film above appears for educational purposes only.)
Roger: These old English houses give people strange ideas sometimes. I have an uncle who used to see ghosts every afternoon at tea. He's in parliament now.
Peter Standish:
Roger, I believe the 18th century still exists. It’s all around us if only we could find it. Put it this way: Polaris, the north star, is very bright... yet its light takes nearly 50 years to reach us. For all we know, Polaris may have ceased to exist… somewhere around 1900, yet we still see it. Its past is our present. As far as Polaris is concerned, Teddy Roosevelt is just going back down San Juan Hill.
Roger: I think I shall have another drink.
Peter Standish: Henry James expressed it like this. You're on a winding stream in a boat. You watch the banks as they pass. Upstream, you went by a grove of maple trees. But you can't see them anymore, because they're in the past. Now you're going by a field of clover. That becomes the present. Now, you don't know what's ahead of you or around the bend in the stream…Maybe wonderful things, but you won't be able to see them until you get around the bend... into the future. But suppose I’m in a plane above you. I’m looking down at it all. I see the maple trees, the clover field and around the bend. Your past, your present and your future. They're all one to the man in the plane... so that time, real time, is all one. Roger: With symbolic logic and Einstein's mathematics... I can conclusively prove that two and two are two. But this… That man is dead, long ago.
Peter Standish: I tell you, he's alive!
So in my mind I’m still living in That September Day My Love With You, my Love Through the Looking Glass and the Yellow Book they did predict this So did we, through the gash, we just did not understand it We did not know that we could travel through time… And they thought there was nothing we could do to stop them… and then, they encountered the 2012 problem And no matter how they tried, they could not solve it So NOW! We’re All on Timeline One and We are All Awakening Together we will go, All of Us, We Go All In Welcome to that September Day! Welcome to that SeptemberDay! Welcome!
IT'S MIDNIGHT (digital release: September 15, 2020)

TIME (digital release: September 8, 2020)
Padparadscha
Calling out
from a spot
in deep space
In this place there is no time
but I am safe
the earth seems so far away
If I close my eyes
I can still see your soul
the color of
padparadscha sapphire
so warm
so beautiful
my calm
in the eye of the storm
I look out from the edge
of this timeless space
at all the planets and stars
transmitting from nowhere
I call to your soul
the color of opal and rose gold
the color of padparadscha sapphire
And I am Home
home in the eye of your storm
home in the eye of your storm (where you speak to me)
home in the eye of your storm (astrally)
home in the eye of the storm
home where the Ancients whisper
their hints to me
in the wordless language of Eternity
I still feel your soul
the color of padparadscha sapphire
the color of opal and rose gold
the color of Home

Web of Life quote: Chief Seattle (1786 – 1866)
"This we know
The Earth does not belong to Man
Man belongs to The Earth
All Things are connected
like the blood that unites us All
Man did not weave the Web of Life
he is merely a strand in it
Whatever he does to the Web
he does to himself."
said Chief Seattle
Turn up the sound and all the colors
write your thoughtline
focus your mind on all the Others
and send a message across Time
I love Earth
I Love Earth!
All Things are connected
I love Earth
SPIDERSONG (digital release: August 28, 2020)
Hello Again, Spider
Hello again, Spider It’s been a long time But you have been my Beloved and my Eternal Fire Hello Again, Spider It’s been a hard time But rest assured, thanks to You I am alive Hello again, Spider You know I tore my web So I want to thank you little spider for lending me your thread
Spiders Are Always Welcome
[Bracketed] text is from the book “The Life of Spiders” by John Crompton, and is presented here for educational purposes only:
[A friend of mine (the same friend who first drew me to spiders by making me watch one through his lens) and myself once went to tea at a Lady’s house. After tea we went into the garden to admire the fruit trees, flowers and vegetables. But whilst brooding over the herbaceous border I noticed that my friend’s eyes were rarely on the flora pointed out but were roving over the wooden paling behind, and that later, while affecting to admire the runner beans, he was studying the intersections of the poles which had proved an admirable site for the makers of sundry webs. All pretense was soon abandoned and our bewildered hostess trailed after us on a spider hunt, and it was her turn to affect to take an interest in what was pointed out. A perfunctory remark of hers concerning indoor spiders made my over-keen friend lead her quickly to her garage. The garage was built on to, and a part of, the house and was as clean as a new pin…] Calling all Spiders start threading your needles The Earth needs more builders and more spinners and weavers [… and our hostess, with something icy in her voice, told him that he would not find any spiders there. But he did, and a big one, in the corner. He caught it too, and showed it to her, and commented on the markings and distribution of Tegnaria atrica. He then replaced it in the corner with care. “You’re not going to leave it there!” said our hostess indignantly. He said he was, but a chill air seemed to have arisen and even he realized that the time had come to stop hunting for, and talking about, Spiders. This I think, illustrates the attitude of every mistress of a house. Spiders, since for some reason they have to exist, had better take care to do so, out of doors.]
No, I don’t agree. Spiders are always welcome in my house. Calling all Spiders start threading your needles The Earth needs your gifts you embroiderers and dreamers
The Verse
From a little spot on earth
the spider spins a multiverse
spins threads of opal to and fro
and still loves am radio
You come with gifts and things to learn
things to finish and things to burn
you come to earth with treasures too
things to fix and things to do
Weaving silver frequencies
Life is just a room you leave
Spider sews a stitch in time
and is a fool for a sweet rhyme
So sing your spider song
because
the Verse
will sing along
so sing your spider song
because
the Verse will sing along
because
that’s what it does
At the center of the verse
all alone
there sits an orb weaver
To the girl I once was
long ago
say “hello” if you see her
She said use your anger
all warriors do
I know that it hurts
but just feel it
and let it
through
Spider spins eternally
embroiders all the galaxies
Loss can’t rule you anymore
Life is one of many doors
And spider has a song to sing
and knows The Verse is Everything
The World We Want (digital release: August 17, 2020)
The Storm
They are not fairy tales
they are cautionary
once you have gleaned it
it’s something you cannot un-see
luring them through wardrobes
far away from their home
watch out children
the psychopaths want your adr3nochrome
careful children
don’t walk out in the snow alone
Oh to see you in the sun
oh to see you running free
oh to see you gather dandelions
collecting rocks and climbing trees
Oh to see you in the sunlight
noticing little bugs and butterflies
and where no one can hurt you
and where no one even tries
that’s the world we want
thought it was folklore
I did not know that it was real
once you have felt it
it’s terror you can not un-feel
so face towards the storm
with your spoon and feather
the battlefields are getting warm
face the apex predator
destroy them
little red riding hood
bring her weapons into the woods
that little puppet boy
cuts his strings, because he could
they have been ruling for so long
it’s hard to see the aftermath
but every spider has a song
let’s rid the earth of these psychopaths
let this be a warning
the storm is coming
thought that it was mythology
but it’s not, so there was fear
and when I look through my portal
I see the storm is already here
and justice is coming
Twittering
And I don’t like when
the bluebird goblin
strangles you with his incessant chirping
and tells you what to say and what to think
You should have the choice
And I don’t like that he
shuts down your voice
The Red Pill
oh my god
this is the Greatest Show of All
and We are All involved
and it’s amazing
and terrifying
and all so beautiful
and so sweet
to be free
of all the deception
knowledge always escapes me
so I watch and and listen
and I think should I?
What says my intuition?
YES: Take the Red Pill
Take the Red Pill
Take the Red Pill
And now I see Everything
Our hidden history
And it is All clear now
If we can get through
It will be
it will be a perfect World
For me and You
So I take the Red Pill
I take the Red Pill
And I see it all now
All of the beauty
I see a perfect World
For you and me
so I take the Red Pill
Tesla’s Zero Point Energy (AKA Old Schoolhouse Rock)
So have you?
So have you heard the word on the street?
GESARA
Everyone is saying Word! GESARA!
It establishes peace on Earth
and sovereign nations
and it gets rid of the Federal Reserve
debt and illegal taxation
and it ceases all aggressive U.S. military actions
Moves us forward to a Gold Standard
and Rainbow Currency
takes down the Act of 1871
and restores the first Constitution
So have you heard about the deals he’s made?
(all over the World)
Every country will have fair trade
And he’s been taking down the Global Deep State?
So give me a —
G: E: S: A: R: A:
(Global Economic Security and Reformation Act)
Now this next part is not official
But some say the most beautiful
some say it includes
peaceful disclosure
of off-world
civilizations
and reunion with our Galactic Family
and Knowledge of our True History
and also would you believe
the release of suppressed technologies
Like Tesla’s zero point energy
just think! anti gravity
and sonic healing machines
this is the World we wanted forever
this is what you predicted
Love Letter (AKA JFK Jr.)
Hey,
what do you have there?
in your bag of treasure?
I see you have jewels and a startling sweet strange mix of thoughts
things to share with me
so bright and sparkling
so much beauty and love
I got to feel special
in your gaze
Hey
did you see your work family?
how much they love you?
and how they took care of me?
all of your friends, too?
they check in on me
like I know you do
I won’t lie
these are strange, strange times
I’d give anything to hold your hand
and see you smile
thank you for sending me that mystic
and the fox on the roof
and all the other signs
did you see the red butterfly?
and did you see the wind chimes?
do you know?
your mom writes to me
it’s so sweet
when you left the whole world fell apart
and I guess you’ve heard about the Pandemic
is it weird?
that I am still
Optimistic?
you’d say “no bug, you’re doing so good
you’re being so brave
you’re being so brave”
that’s what you’d say
so I painted the kitchen floor
it’s a crazy quilt patchwork, I know you’d like it, though
and I hung your lights above the door
and your Coral Vines are blooming
but I don’t go out much anymore
yes, we will build two libraries
one perfect for him
and one perfect for me
Some say JFK Jr’s death was faked
and all the wars have been about stargates
and you know I never thought he crashed that plane
you’d say “it’s gonna be like Planet of The Apes
if we’re not careful”
so, some say They have planned
a false flag alien invasion
and I know you can understand
why I wouldn’t put it past Them
and besides some also say
Earth is under the protection
of a wise council of Elders
and the Alliance of planets
in our Universe
It feels like we’re raising our Consciousness
and moving into a golden age on Earth
are you feeling the vibration shift?
don’t worry
there is no need for resistance
some say it’s heavenly
and as Angels draw near
they play Trumpets
and that’s All You Will Hear
and there is
nothing to fear
and I’m acting like the world we want is already here.
Rabbit
Run, run little rabbit, run
run little rabbit, run
we will follow you
until you find the sun
run little rabbit, run
so we follow the clues you leave
and you hollow their deceit
and you show us the truth
finally
There!
I knew you’d find it
the sunlight!
Little Family (digital release: July 10, 2020)
Marisel
In Marisel
lemon trees and daffodils
flowers shaped like little bells
by the sea
sand and shells
in Marisel
In Marisel
never-ending blossoms
and flowers shaped like tiny shells
and jewelry
glinting against the summer skin
of every belle in Marisel
by the sea
you with your sad eyes and your quiet smile
I know you still had some things to do
you with your sad eyes saying good bye
even though you still had things to do
And eternal breeze
from the orange groves beyond
the cobblestone village streets
you can see them there
twirling feathers into their glowing hair
par la mer
by the sea
you with your sad eyes and your quiet smile
you know what to do
Of Wire and Paper
I do watch
but I can’t find the sunlight
everywhere is dust
finally used all his lifelines
and pulled away from us
spiders know to spin at twilight
and finish by the dawn
so let us just think of the good times
and not what we did wrong
so rest your weary bones at last
and curl into the wind
and I will hope like before me
that something new begins
glimmering and glowing softly
they whisper from the hive
I can still see and do quite often
as if I were alive
so don’t worry
I hear it’s not unusual
to get views that go on forever
we’ll be with you in the blink of an eye
we’ll be with you til the end of time
fluttering but never certain
they shimmer towards the dusk
and leave behind the cage that hurts them
as every warrior must
miracles of blood and vapor
scheduled in the sky
they brought you wings of wire and paper
so you stayed for a while
I do hope
there’ll be a morning
when I wake to the sun
crystal drops like early warnings
your time will also come
so I turn not to bold perfection
but to silken threads above
and I will believe in your prediction
and I swear that you are loved
you will always be loved
Like Ghosts
Oh you’ll know it’s morning when the rooster crows
oh these early warnings they come to you like ghosts
it will feel like springtime, you know
the ice will crack and the rivers will start to flow
and you will witness the first retreat of snow
oh what are you doing?
do you even know?
just counting your failures in the undertow
meanwhile your little family just glows
Oh a new day will dawn again
and winter always turns to spring
so I wait patiently for the glow
of my little family
of Souls
You in the light
Come back to me
You in high
frequency
A Spoon and A Feather
Oh you know consciousness survives
so you do some magic with a spoon and a feather
sure, someday we’ll be starlight
so you cast some spells with sound and whatever
It was you all the time
you my life line
you through all my lives
you my sprit guide
so stay with me and be my Epic Love
You know consciousness survives
So do your magic with a spoon and a feather
sure, someday we’ll be starlight
until then do your casting with sound and whatever
you all the time
our embroideries entertain
your opal light hand in mine
if this is, then it is Epic
Isn’t it Love?
Her Heartbeat In Space
Go out into the garden
the forests
hybrid flora, fauna
speaking in the voice of light
healing trauma
down with he veil
step out from shade
consciousness, raised
and be a true believer
in Everything
you don’t have to choose
ask your angels and aliens
ask your near-death experience
ask your psychedelic medicines
bring your kaleidoscope
and listen with your opal soul
to her heartbeat in space
and time
A Willow Weeps
If you lose your way away from the light
you can find your way in the the night
If you lose your way away from the spark
you will find your way through the dark
If you lose your way, my friend
just know it’s not the end
a willow weeps, then bends
and you will be whole again
If you lose yourself
it will be hard
but when the mirror breaks
just save the shards
and if your fire is reduced to ash
You will find your way back through the gash
if you lose your way my friend
just know it’s not they end
a willow weeps, then bends
and you will be whole again
When I was a flower, you were the bee
When I was a star, you were the galaxy
When I was shade, you the tree
I know that you have always been with me
You’ll never lose your way, my friend
There’s no beginning and no end
A willow weeps, then bends
And you will be free again
In the Opal Light
I never saw the wrong-way collision
But it opened me to near-death vision
And I saw you
in the opal light
you just above and to the right
moving space and time
I know it was you
you
who kept us alive
Blooming in the Garden
Then took his wife and kids to California
And spent his whole life seeking ink blot treasure
And then fell through the leaves of the garden
And found the clearing there, where it has always been
Then described to me a dream of perfect Summer
Where every battle must release its Warrior
Then fell through the leaves of the garden
And found the clearing there, where it has always been
And the boy made of glass
stays with you, because you asked
And the one made of sand
Is glinting in the sunlight and
The one that’s made of dreams
Is floating and so happy
I hope you know she had a good time Sonoma
With the sunlight that you arranged around her
With the warm orchard breeze
that you called to touch across her cheek
I hope you know
how your garden grows
And I hope that you can see
all the flowers
and all the leaves
and all the vines
and all the trees
all the dragonflies and bees
I hope you know she had a good time in Sonoma
with the sunset that you arranged behind her
and the warm orchard breeze whispers
“Do you all remember me?”
Men du titta, en trollslända, i evighet
And the boy made of glass
becomes your friend, at last
See the Opal Light
Blooming in the Garden
Can you see how they glow?
Your little family?
And glowing in the dark
it was just as you described
the sound swarmed all around me
and was lit up from inside
then the sound it turned to singing
as I came upon the hive
I could hear the words so clearly
I am alive
Entangled Spookily
Hope is thing with lots of feathers
they brought you glassine wings when they stitched you together
could I let you go
I say never
I wish I’d met you in the ’80s
My love, you would have saved me
The Universe keeps many secrets
From you and her
Even at a distance
We, can entangle spookily
and you will always connect
still travel
no ship, no bridge
this is just the way it is
we are of the earth
in a fractal multivers
singing songs of the sea and dirt
and we are of the sky
of no place, no time
We have been through the gashes together
And that left you with a heart lighter than a feather
When I was the shade, you were the tree
And you always protected me
When I follow you into the Ether
Will you see me?
and will I see you there?
Can we finally have our eternal Spring
In between our forest and clearing
Ours is a love death cannot sever
Just you and me, together forever
1998-2007

All Is Not Well
Don't try to lie to me, I know
My love was politically disposed of
And I didn't see them coming
No, I didn't see them coming for you
For you
Don't try to lie to me, I know
Their crime will never be exposed
And if I had seen them coming
If I had seen them coming
What I wouldn't do for you
All is not well
All is not well
All is not well in the land of Oz
Don't try to lie to me, I know
My love was politically disposed of
And I did not see them coming
No, if I had seen them coming
I'd have chosen you
All is not well in the land of Oz

And Your Little Dog Too
Surrender, Dorothy
Bring me the shoes, dear
Bring them to me
Bring them here, dear
Bring them
If you know what's good for you
If you know what's good
If you know what's good for you
And your little dog, too
You'll bring them here
The shoes, dear
The shoes
Bring them to me
If you know what's good for you, dear
If you know what's just good
If you know what's good for you
And your little dog, too
You'll bring them here
Bring them here
Bring them here
Bring them to me

Angels & Absinthe
Hush, hush, don't wake up, it's not morning
|
Hush, hush, sleep through this, I am warning
Why are you crying? It's not a sad movie
Why are you crying, dear?
There is nothing sad here
There is nothing sad, is there?
Angels fall in to save my soul
Sorry, Absinthe, you're much too slow
All that glitters and all that glows
Will find a way in as soon as I go
Hush, hush, I dreamed I was happy
Hush, hush, you were happy with me
Hush, hush, feel the chill and it is real
Hush, hush, but at least you can still feel
Why are you crying? It's not a sad movie
Why are you crying, dear? There is nothing sad here
If you want wings, just tell them so
These are the things that make us grow cold
Break the code and then just go
Love is something you seek and destroy
Then ask, "Why are you crying?"

The Apple
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
And I don't care what you say to me
Ha!
I don't even like blue eyes
They're usually too light
I don't even like things that are so bright
I can't stand the glare
So take this if you dare
Then you can belong to me
And you can be wrong for me
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
I don't care what you say
You're just being fake
I'm telling the truth
Like I do always
You'd do it too, if you were brave
The sweetest things are often laced
And you can be wrong for me
Mirror, mirror on the wall
If I can't have one, I'll take them all
I'll take Gael Garcia Bernal
I'll take a man that I can haunt
And who can be wrong for me
Who will be all wrong for me

Away
I heard he is missing in the river now
They say he is nowhere to be found
I hope she sang the sweetest lullaby
So that he was calm when he went down
Angels sing Glory Hallelujah
But he will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away
He will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away
I guess he is singing in the water now
Breathing in the purity of sound
I know she promised him a lilac crown
So that he was not afraid to drown
Angels sing Glory Hallelujah
But he will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away
He will bring his voice to heaven and blow them all away
Put them all to shame
Blow them all away
Away...
Away...

Beware the Touch
To have, to hold
is something you
have feared to know but always knew
Maybe it isn't even true
Maybe love cannot
Maybe love cannot shelter you
The furies are a triple threat
The worst to come has not come yet
If love is something you can just reject
Beware the touch they won't forget
Beware the touch of Antoinette
Still through the gash you'll reach to pull
The bones of someone beautiful
His veins stretched tight over his skull
The lullaby will become a lull
The lullaby will become a lull
It begins again
The feeling that I love and know will end
It begins again
The feeling that I love and know will end
I'll sing you fast asleep, my love
And all the dreams that you dream of
Will soothe you like a velvet glove
Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood
Wrapped around your heart, guarding your blood
And when you wake, you won't recall
How light surrenders to the dark
So the next time that you start to fall
You'll swear he's the greatest love of all
And he will redeem the queen of hearts

Carnival Justice (The Gloves Are Off) Part II
Step right up and get what you deserve
Oh, what a prize!
Yeah, it's her
And if you think you scored your vision must be blurred
Welcome one and all to the Theater of the Absurd
Mmmmmy heart is like the Moulin Rouge
All lit up in subterfuge
But pain is something I can use
But what about you? What's your excuse?
You won't know I'm coming until it's too late
You won't know that I'm around
The only thing that you will hear is scarlet satin hitting the ground
The gloves are off
Too bad you got soft
The gloves are off
Too bad you're so lost
Je suis en coeur
Je disparais
You are a blur as I walk away
So you love her?
That little stain?
I'm out of here, but my words remain
So step right up and take a drag on your cigarette
You're just something that got snagged on the hook of Antoinette
And you can call it Carnival Justice
It's just my own breed of armistice
You can say I'm crazy like Alice
You can call it Carnival Justice
It's just my own breed of armistice
You can say I'm crazy like Alice
But I'll never blow you a real kiss
The gloves are off

Carousel
I would have loved to see you grow old, friend
I would have loved to know you 'till the end
I would have loved to see you smile again
I would have loved to watch you turn grey
I would have loved to have just one more day
But all I know is that you've gone away
But I swear that I can hear you say...
Don't worry, don't be sad
Think of the time we had
There is no future or past
And life is not meant to last
Life is crucial surgery
A shard of glass pulled from a heart that bleeds
And sometimes like a barroom fight
So keep throwing punches 'till you get it right
Life is like a carousel
It'll make you dizzy
It will spin like hell
Life is a clear blue stream
It's everything you mean
Yet nothing but a dream
Where things are not quite like they seem
And when you get it, that's when
You'll see me again
When you get it, that's when
You'll see me again

Defenestration
You want to walk straight down the line
I just sashay from side to side
Coming at you from behind
Coming at you, all scissors and knives
All shadows and lies
You want to walk straight down the line
I just sway from side to side
Coming at you like some tattered corpse bride
Coming at you, so stand aside
I'm coming through, if you don't mind
I do remember the room underneath the bell
We held hands in the stairwell
Hummingbirds followed me at school
At least that's what you said
That's just like you
It didn't matter if it was true
Things were just better inside of you
And I was never the same
That's when everything changed
So now I see him standing there at the window
Oh, he's so sweet
I want to love him
I want it so
But when I reach for him
Out he goes
I see him standing there at the window
I come up behind him, all hustle and flow
I rustle the dust around him
And out he goes
Out you go
I could say I'm surprised but it wouldn't be true
'Cause it happened last time to the one before you
So step away from the gash
I'm coming through

Don't Be Scared
Don't be scared to decode
I know it seems sometimes there is no hope
Don't be scared
You're not alone
Don't be scared
Please just don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be sad
It will be all right
This too shall pass
Just get through one more night
Don't be sad
Give us a smile
Don't be sad
Just try a while
Don't be sad
It'll be all right
Don't be sad
Just get through one more night
Don't be sad
Just give us a smile
Don't be sad
Don't be scared to feel afraid
Nightshade and bile, I am erased
The words you say
will keep you safe
And it's all the hurt
that will be erased
So don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
And don't be sad

Eat the Dirt
Curl up under the window
and crouch against the wall
I feel the nighttime about to fall
And I don't know what to do with myself
So I eat the dirt and I pray for...
And I know I am all wrong
I know it is all wrong
But I don't know what to do with myself
So I drink the blood and I pray for...
Run from these hands if you know what's good for you
I can't control the things I do
And I don't know how to cure myself
So I eat the dirt and I pray for help
I eat the dirt and I pray for help
I eat the dirt and I pray for...

Girls That Glitter Love the Dark
Girls that glitter love the dark
We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts
And then we feign surprise when we see
that those we've loved to love have seeped
into our poisoned blood
Girls that glitter deceive death
We thread ourselves through innocent flesh
And then we feign surprise when we see
that those we've love to waste
they seem to be erased
Knit it through, thread it
Sew it to unsuspecting flesh
They won't regret it
Or so they say
And those you have loved
have snagged on your thorny veins
But they don't regret it
Or so you say
Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss
We break the code of happiness
And then we feign surprise when we see
That those we've loved have loved to leave
Girls that glitter defile hope
We think that love is just
tightening that sad little rope
And then we open our eyes and we see
through the gash
of a fluttering eyelash
We see love trying desperately to flee
But you don't ever have to fear
Just break its wings and it will never disappear
You don't ever have to fear
Just break its wings and it will never disappear
Knit it through
Capture it and stitch it to
your brittle little heart
At least that way
love can't tear it apart
Knit it through
Sew it to
They won't regret you
And if they do?
But the thing that girls know best
is that glitter covers all the ugliness
And they know one thing above the rest:
Sparkle covers evilness
Shimmer covers all the mess
Glitter covers darkness
And then came the moment
when the swarm of bees drowned

I Can't Let You In
Fiyero, don't tell a soul what you've seen
This is the life that you and I are meant to lead
I can't let you in, 'cause the world is falling to pieces
I can't let you in, 'cause the world is falling to pieces
Fiyero, don't tell a soul a word we speak
I need to know, if I don't make it home, you won't look for me
I can't let you in, 'cause the world will tear us to pieces
I can't let you in, 'cause the world will tear us to pieces
Don't even let them hear you breathe
I'll never see you again, 'cause the world has torn you to pieces
And don't you dare deceive destiny
Her for you, but you for me
And don't you dare deceive destiny
Her for you, but you for me
Her for you, but you for me
For me

Idaho
What if the sky in Idaho is black and dark?
What if the sun in Idaho doesn't set at all?
And what if I loved you with all of my heart?
And what if my love wasn't good enough?
What if the sky in Idaho is filled with clouds?
What if the sun in Idaho has burned out?
There'd be miles and miles behind us
We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come
Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing
Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing
What if the sky in Idaho is black and dark?
What if the sun in Idaho doesn't set at all?
And what if I loved you with all of my heart?
And what if my love wasn't good enough?
There'd be miles and miles behind us
We'd look back at the miles and miles we'd come
Don't tell me all those miles were for nothing
Don't tell me all of those miles were for nothing
With your arms around me, I think I can do this
With your help, I think that I can do this
Help me do this
Help me help you do this
Tell me all those miles were for something

It Was Her House That Killed Nessarose
She might fool them but she don't fool me
She talks much too earnestly
And when Glinda gave her the shoes
I had nothing else to lose
And I asked her to take my hand
I asked her to please understand
They love her so 'cause she's so sticky sweet
But she just doesn't seem honest to me
And when Glinda asked me to choose
Well, I had nothing much else to lose
And I asked her to take my hand
I asked her who once was my friend, I thought, 'til the end
And I thought I had the secret to life
I don't, do I?
Do I?
And I thought that I had the secret to life
But I don't, do I?
I follow her down the Yellow Brick Road
Chasing her now, for revenge, I suppose
She causes destruction wherever she goes
It was her house that killed Nessarose
It was her house that killed Nessarose
That's just the way life goes

So you think you want that little girl, do you?
I'll string her up and I'll bring her to you
You think I don't know what love is
But you've just never known love like this

I do know love

I do know you
But you, you think you want that pretty girl, don't you?
I could befriend her and talk to her for you
You think you just want that perfect girl, don't you?
I could be so much better for you

I'll break you, just you wait, you

The Last Piece of Cake
She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her
Least of all her daughter
She had always been a good mother
But her feet slipped in the mud
She took a walk with her daughter
And her feet slipped in the mud
She looked up at her betrayer
running quickly through the trees
Please don't leave me here in the dirt
Please help me up
Reach to me your hand
Please help me up
She wasn't expecting anyone to hurt her
Then her feet slipped in the mud
Please don't leave me here in the dirt
Reach to me your hand
Help me clean these dirty wings
I am so terribly hurt
This makes me want to believe in heaven
and angels
for mothers
and hunchbacks
and wolves
Please let me believe that she's happy
and safe
and warm
and smiling
eating apples and the last piece of cake

A Latch to Open
You come upon a bird in a pretty cage
You feel all its sadness, all its rage
A latch to open doors with moving parts
You hold the key but you just walk away
And life is much harder than you thought
Love can't be tamed and it can't be caught
And still it sings a song for your heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And still it sings a song for your blackened heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And life is so much harder than you thought
Life is so much harder than you thought
Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, stay in your cage
Please stay in your cage
Stay
You come upon a bird in a pretty cage
This time you will help it to escape
A latch to open doors with moving parts
You turn the key and watch it slip away
And then it sings a song for your secret heart
You still want its wings, but you let it fly off
And life is so much sweeter than you thought
Life is so much sweeter than you thought

Let It Show
She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose
That is the way that life goes"
I said, "Just let it show, you are not Nessarose
Come on, grab your broom, let's go
Come on, grab your broom, let's blow away"
She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose
That is the way that life goes"
I said, "Just let it show that you're not Nessarose
Come on, grab your broom, let's go
Come on, grab your broom, let's blow"
I don't know where she ends and where I begin
The girl with green oily skin, she ends where I begin
I don't know where she ends and where I begin
The girl with green oily skin, she ends where I begin
Look at Dorothy in the sickly sweet undertow
Look at Dorothy, believing and leading them all down the Yellow Brick Road
She said, "I've got no soul"
I said, "You do, though"
She said, "I've got no soul, I am not Nessarose
That's just the way that life goes
That's just the way that life blows away"

Love Today
Rest assured
I remember every word
I remember all I heard
And that summer
All the joy went away
All that I had to say
For love of life, don't say goodbye
For love of life, don't say goodbye
So, at the window
Don't heed the call
Don't think we've lost it all
Just try to love today
Try to love today
Rest assured
I do think it's sad
And I do miss what we had
But I just try to love today
I try to love today
Try to love today
I try...

Meathook
Don't put your red dress on for him
Don't put your red dress on
Don't put your red dress on for him
Don't put your red dress on
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him
Don't be afraid of the dark and what you are without him
No meathook is as bad as a hook in the heart
There's no pain that can make the non-feel feel at all
A hole through the skin will not make you whole
What is dominion over a faltering soul
and a heart that has severed from the body?
Is it anything to control someone that has been broken open?

My Next Victim
I was numb, I was frozen
Then I saw you and my blood started flowing
I was tired and heartbroken
Then I saw you and I shattered open
But you don't want none of my sugar
You just want that skanky snatch, no offense to her
You don't want none of my sugar
You just want that little slit, nothing against her
But you are my next victim
My next requiem
My next anti-numb
You will become my next victim

The Necklace of Marie Antoinette
I'll make it look like an accident
I'll make it look like he was trying to hurt me

Never Look Back
You can have the brightest star
I'm a girl who wishes on scars
You must know that love can fade
Don't look back during the parade
So I love like they do under the sea
And I pull him much too close to me
Yes, I know that love can fade
But I never look back during the parade
You can have the light of the moon
I prefer to exit through wounds
You must know that life will fade
Don't look back during the parade

And I pull him even closer to me
Yes, I know that life will fade

No Man Alive
All that matters is love...
There's no man alive that has what I need
So give me a man that I can breathe
There's no man alive that has what I want
So give me a man that I can haunt
Give me a static-free cellular line
So I can call him all of the time
Give me a shimmering astral cord
So I can be there when he's with his whore
I feel it come again
The feeling that I love
And that I know will end
(And when the ride comes to an end, just get up, dust off, and do it again)
I feel it come again
The feeling that I love
And that I know will end
There's no man alive that I can't deceive
So give me a man who's crueler than me
There's no man alive that I can't destroy
So give me a man who'll be first to deploy
Give me a static-free cellular line
So I can connect to him all of the time
Give me a sparkling astral cord
So I can be there when he is no more

Scars
Please don't go to Scarborough Fair
Violets, roses, thistles and vines
Remember me, I am still here
He was not a true love of mine
He was not a true love of mine
He was not a true love of mine
Please don't go to Scarborough Fair
Honey, poison, oakwood and wine
Don't forget me, I still care

Remember me, I do not need
He was not a true love of mine
He was not a true love of mine
Please don't go
Please don't go
Follow me

Twist it and turn it around
Kick dust upon it 'til it eats the ground

Make it scream 'til you get sick of the sound
Make it scream 'til you get sick of the sound
Make it scream 'til you get sick of
I'm so sick of the sound

"Scars" is based on the traditional English-American folk ballad "Scarborough Fair."
Someone Speaks Softly
Bury the switchblade a foot deep in snow
Silence is golden
She loved him, you know
Fold up his good shirts and dust off his robe
The violence is over, they told her so
Is it over?
Is it over, I said, is it over?
Is it?
Her mind tears asunder the heartstrings below
Years go by, still she cannot break the code
The trauma has severed the flesh from the bone
Guilt weighs so heavily on her soul
Is it over? Is it over, I said, is it over?
Is it?
Veins stretched tight over a heart blue and cold
Silence is made of gold
Hurt is to have and to hold
This is what she has been told
Is it over? Is it over, I said, is it over?
Is it?
Someone speaks softly through the horror and pain:
"Love has gone, but it could come again."
Spring arrives quietly, warming her skin
Her heart, now red, is beating again
Oh, it's over

Get up!
Get out of this
At least for a while

Sweet Heart
Solitude still holds you
I don't have to fake the blues
And all you want is refuge
Sugar is the heart's food
Sugar is the heart's food
Fathers don't know all the rules
Kicked around, I know you know the cruelty of love
And if you could have just one thing for your birthday, what would it be?
Maybe that one wrong word would not make you bad
And you could say just how you feel
And they would still want you around
And maybe that you could make mistakes
And that it would still be okay
And they would still want you around
Thoughts are often ridiculed
Feelings often misunderstood
And all you do is rescue one little piece of your heart
And feed it sugar
And it will grow
So powerful and strong
You won't know what to do with all the warmth
You won't even remember all the harm
And it will be so much easier to lead
The life you always wanted
The life you always should have had

Trapeze
I felt your hand slip from mine
I thought, "I know we won't survive this time"
And yet I don't regret
(Look up)
As you lay dying on the sawdust floor, the lights so bright around you
(We have come for you)
I won't have you anymore, but I'm so glad that I found you
I knew (we have come for you) there was no safety net
(Hey, look up, we have come for you)
And so I don't regret a minute of the time we spent
And I wept as they carried you from the tent
And laid you down on the velvet ground
The leaves swirling all around
The leaves swirling all around
And with your last breath, you said
"They have come for me
I won't forget a minute of the time we spent
And I don't regret
I knew there was no safety net"

The Vampire Waltz
The light in your eyes beckons to me
It beckons so quietly, but I hear it clearly
You start walking towards me
Taking my breath and fearlessly setting me free
Oh, I feel it being drawn out
The blood flowing steadily into your mouth
This dark night, cruel and cold
You whisper softly, "Honey, you'll never grow old"
Looking back at the crowd
Back at the party
I step outside and disappear swiftly
Oh, I feel it being drawn out
The pain of life fading, going down south
Lost in the wake of my wedding
And caught here at these old crossroads
I can never leave
I think I've been fooled
Why am I not dressed in white?
With eyes full of glory and wine
I'll be your eternal bride
I'll be here forever
Here, on this night
Why am I not dressed in white?
I need you near me
I think I've been fooled
I need you near me
I think I've been fooled
You carry me over the crossroads
And I'm lost on this cold, dark night
Why am I not dressed in white?
I carry a mandrake in my bouquet
And I shiver when it screams
I carry a mandrake in my bouquet
And I shiver when it screams
The light in your eyes is still calling to me
Taking my whole world and setting it spinning
Knowing my weakness, the spark lies in the sand
Taking my hand, you lead me into the dance
Oh, I feel it being drawn out
My soul is rushing right into your mouth
How could you take me away from the party?
I think I've been fooled
How could you take me away from the party?
I think I've been fooled
I need you near me
I think I've been fooled
I carry a mandrake in my bouquet
And I shiver when it screams
I need you near me
I think I've been fooled
I carry a mandrake in my bouquet
And I shiver when it screams
With eyes full of lust and light
I'll be your eternal bride
I'll be here forever
Here, on this night
Oh, why am I not dressed in white?
Something is not right
Will the light spark?

Where the Wounds Are
Pick up the stitches
Pick up the stitches
Be strong
Pick up the stitches
It's all right
Just pick up the stitches
It's all right
You're not mine
It's all right
I am fine
Just left with scars
To remind me where the wounds are
To remind me where the wounds are
Thread the light through the flesh
And push the needle past the rest
Through the bone, into the heart
Where madness ends and music starts
Listen
Don't worry
It won't be long
Just weave all your sadness into a song
And I know you will
I know you will
I know you will
Because I know you
I'm all right
You're not mine
I'm all right
I'll be fine
Just left with scars
To remind me where the wounds are
To remind me where the wounds are
Lace the ribbon up your back
And stitch the future to the past
When demons become friends at last
Hold them tight and heal the gash
Listen
Don't worry
It won't be long
Just spin all your nightmares into a song
I know you will,
I know you will
Because I know you
Because I know you
I know you will
I know you will
Because I know you
It's all right
You'll survive
It's all right
You'll be fine
Just left with scars
To remind you where the wounds are
To remind you to
sew every glimmer you get to your skin
And let every sound you hear come crashing in
Knit your fragile veins to the wrists of your friends
And know that you will see them again
Sew every shimmer you get to your skin
And let every whisper come rushing back in
And pick up the stitches and start to mend
Love pierces through even death in the end
Love will pierce through even death in the end
Believe that you will see them again
(The spider knows)
You will

You Don't Leave a Trace
You crawl away and don't leave any trace
I don't like your dirt house that much anyway
Don't you dare waste any more of my time
If you don't even like me, quit coming around
You crawl away and don't leave any trace
Yeah, it is true, you would not be the same
If you can't love me, I guess we are through
I never even showed you what I'd do to you
'Cause you run like hell
Run like hell
Run like hell from me
You crawl away and you don't leave a trace
It could be real or it could be fake
The details don't matter to me anyway
I don't really care if you go or you stay
Just don't run like hell
Run like hell
You would be dumb as hell to run from me
You crawl away and you don't leave a trace
Wipe that damned panicked look off of your face
I never even liked you that much anyway
But if you're not with someone, it's such a shame
I know that you're sort of scared of me
Let me be your wet nightmare, let me
I know that you're sort of scared of me
Let me be your wet nightmare, let me
I know that you're sort of scared
I know that you're sort of scared of me
I know I can never be
I know I can never be your dream
So let me
Let me
Let me be

You Had Me
I am desire but you are weak
And I despise the sound of leaks
in veins to quiet to even speak
Just bleed despair but never scream
I am revenge and disbelief
And I regret the tracks I leave
in snow that isn't even deep
I hold the blade, sharp as can be
You had me going out of my head
With all the things that you said
You had me going out of my head
But now I walk away from you instead
I am on fire but you retreat
With arteries so tense they shriek
anemic secrets that won't keep
A heart that numb must choose deceit
I am mayhem and treachery
And dead-ends never bothered me
Your hollow voice shouts, "Victory!"
But whispers, restless, when you sleep,
"She had me going out of my head"
I did descend but now I'm free
And I confess you still seem sweet
But you no longer disarm me
You had me going out of my head
With all the things that you said
You had me going out of my head
But now I walk away from you instead
