The Hollow
run desire run this sexual being run him like a blade to and through the heart no conscience
one motive to cater to the hollow
screaming feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacify this hungering
so grow libido throw dominoes of indiscretions down falling all around in cycles
in circles constantly consuming, conquer and devour
cuz it's time to bring this fire down bridle all this indiscretion
long enough to edify and permanently fill this hollow
screaming feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacifying
feed me here fill me up again temporarily pacify this hungering



Magdalena
overcome by your moving temple overcome by this holiest of altars
so pure so rare to witness such an earthly goddess that i've lost my self control beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your holiest of altars
i'd sell my soul my self esteem a dollar at a time for one chance one kiss one taste of you my magdalena
i bear witness to this place this prayer so long forgotten so pure so rare to witness such an earthly goddess that i'd sell my soul my self esteem a dollar at a time for one chance one kiss
one taste of you my black madonna
i'd sell my soul my self esteem a dollar at a time one taste one taste one taste of you my magdalena



Rose
don't disturb the beast the temperamental goat the snail while he's feeding on the rose
stay rose and compromise what i will i am
bend around the wind silently blown about again i'm 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 locked down and terrified your deer in the headlights shut down and horrified when push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around this self destructive dance that never would've 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 this beat down gun shy martyr
pitiful i rose i roared i will i am



Judith
you're 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
fuck your god your lord your christ, 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
it's not like you killed someone it's 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 he's the one who did this to you never thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why
he did it all for you he did it all for you


Orestes
metaphor for a missing moment pull me into your perfect circle
one womb
one shape
one result
liberate this will to release us all
gotta cut away clear away slip away and sever this umbilical residue keeping me from killing you
and from pulling you down with me here i can almost hear you scream
give me one more medicated peaceful moment
give me one more medicated peaceful moment
and i don't want to feel this overwhelming hostility
i don't want to feel this overwhelming hostility
gotta cut away clear away slip away and sever this
umbilical residue
gotta cut away clear away slip away and sever this
umbilical residue
keeping me from killing you
slip away and sever this
keeping me from killing you


3 libras
threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back a name in your recollection
down among a million same
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over when i've looked right through to see you naked but oblivious and you don't see me
but i threw you the obvious just to see if there's more behind
the eyes of a fallen angel eyes of a tragedy
here i am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded
but i see see through it all see through and see you
cause i threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel eyes of a tragedy
oh well oh well apparently nothing
apparently nothing at all
you don't see me
you don't see me at all


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 magically 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 you're 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 your awakening and hiding from some poisoned memory
poisoned and hopeless
sleeping beauty


Thomas
humbled and helpless i'm 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
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 i'm just praying for you to show me where i'm to begin
hoping to reconnect to you

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 that's 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
tuggin a rhythm to the vision that's 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
