I’ve had my heart broken twice
I’ve had my soul split in two
Down by the black river bank
Down where the full moon was new
I met my love in the grass
I met my love in the rain
The leaves of willows hanged low
The leaves that knew my name
He walked his way cross the field
He walked his way cross the moon
The grass was black and free
The grass was dying soon
And his heart was still pounding and warm
When I tore it from his flesh
His eyes were still calling out please have forgiveness
I met my love in the grass
I met my love in the rain
And every whisper was true
And every word was my name
He left my hand lying cold
He left my hand and I knew
There was a field and a moon
But not a whisper was true
And his heart was still pounding and warm
When I tore it from his flesh
His eyes were still calling out please have forgiveness
Who could have the moon and grass that grew high in the field
Who could know the moon walked cross the field
I’ve had my heart broken twice
I’ve had my soul split in two
Down by the black river bank
Down where the full moon was new

Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
A nightmare that left me the second I felt you
Next to me holding me tight
Knowing that nothing could harm me
Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
That your hand caressed me and that I could feel you
Next to me holding me tight
Knowing that nothing could scare me
Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
But when your hand left me and I could not feel you
Next to me holding me tight
I knew that nothing could save me
Lover
I wished it was all just a dream
But no one caressed me and all I could feel through
The reaper holding me tight
Was that his hands were the only
Hands I would ever feel
Hands I would ever feel

Serpent Boulevard
05:22
|

|
My hands bleed from the blood on the floor
Cut with glass shaped like diamonds
Splinters of glass sparkle like eyes
Staring back from oblivion
The ceiling hangs from white walls
Like a river running over the edge
A waterfall washed away
From a glacier in my skin
Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent
I move my head like a beast
With eyes ripped open by my claws
Scars cling onto the wound like eggs
From currents washing me to sea
My ivory eyes look into a world
Colored on canvas by hand
Suns imploding on pastures of green
Hovering over my abyss
Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent
The loudspeakers scream I'm not alone
Just like the fading northern lights
Sucked out in orbit and vanished like air
In the heat of a black hole
The vivid glass of sparkling wine
That weighs like a star in my hand
Drowning myself in the pills of the gods
I ascend into silence
Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent
Lovely sting
And glowing shade
Swimming deep
Down to the serpent

You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You will never find love
Love is nothing that you can keep in a box
It can fly away and disappear into nothing
For you’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You will never find love
Love is nothing you can hide in your heart
It can turn to dust and disappear into nothing
For you’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
Yeah you’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You’re hanging like a rag doll over a spike of steel
You will never find love
Love is nothing you can find in a shop
It will crush your heart and disappear into nothing

Umbrella Poem

All alone with you under an umbrella
In a city we’ve never been to
And we hear the metro train carved in rock
Underneath the street light
All alone with you here at the bus station
Where the clouds are white and silver
Six o'clock the early morning cold light rain
After stormy weather
And you saw in my eyes
In my heart
Saw the open window
And I saw in your eyes
In your heart
Saw our tomorrow
All alone with you under an umbrella
Came up from the metro
And I ask you baby I could see them sell
Vegan on the corner?
And you light a cigarette with one last smile
Though we gave up smoking
It is just a light for all the ones we left
Before we crossed the border
And you saw in my eyes
In my heart
Saw the open window
And I saw in your eyes
In your heart
Saw our tomorrow
All alone with you under an umbrella
Slow the rain is falling
And I raise my camera up to the sky
Across the clouded river
Six and twenty is the bus to cross the bridge
Away from Purge and Purdah
And you say oh baby you are all I have
You are my redeemer
And you saw in my eyes
In my heart
Saw the open window
And I saw in your eyes
In your heart
Saw our tomorrow

You are my way home
Falling in love with you
With you
Falling in love with you
With you
Falling in love with you
With you
Falling in love with you
With you
You are my way home
Falling in love with you
With you
Falling in love with you
With you
You are my way home

I am a thing
I am a thing in a void
I am a mass psychotic humanoid
I am a read
I am a read on a site
I am pixel in fluorescent light
And I'm breaking free
I am a vote
I am a vote in a fraud
I am servant of a silicon god
I am a buy
I am a buy in a shop
I am a who in Global Village doing what?
And I'm breaking free
I am a glitch
I am a glitch on a screen
I am a question in a waking dream
I am a slave
I am a slave on the run
In the scope of every silicon gun
And I'm breaking free
And I'm breaking free
And I'm breaking free

Tequila Metamorphosis

Be my guest in the partyhat
Be my cold tequila
Be my chit chat be my mingling
Firewater zilla
Be my dress and be my make up
Be the black tuxedo
Be my shot and be my laughing
High percent libido
Animals that come to dance
See the disco light in trance
The night is long for a child of the moon
Moth girl rising from her cocoon
Be my fancy smalltalk dream
Be my dance floor rhythm
Be my eyelids flickering
Lost to all who see them
Be my night club be the barman
Be my jewelry shining
Be the slow walk of shame
Be the silver lining
Animals that come to dance
See the disco light in trance
The night is young for a child of the moon
Moth girl rising from her cocoon
Be my headache be the curtains
Be the cellphone ringing
Be the neighbors blaring hifi
GG Allin singing
Be my watch that's 3 pm
Be my morning shower
Be the moth prepared to fly
The liquid moonlight flower
Animals that come to dance
See the disco light in trance
The night is young for a child of the moon
Moth girl rising from her cocoon
