Take me by surprise I wanna feel you in my bones Like the rotten lies That as a girl I often told I want you I’ll have you That’s as simple as this is Oh, I’ll fall you in love with me like Oh, Like a siren on the sea like Oh, Make you wish your heart could bleed like Oh, I’ll fall you in love Something in your eyes Swirls like a witch’s favorite drink See, my gaze, it pries At your soul and makes it weak Like thunder Post-lightning That’s as hard as this will be Oh, I’ll fall you in love with me like Oh, Steal tricks from Aphrodite like Oh, Make you beg for me to lead like Oh, I’ll fall you in love (instrumental) Oh, I’ll fall you in love with me like Oh, Turn your sighs to melodies like Oh, One strum and your knees go weak like Oh, I’ll fall you in love

Else 04:14
I’m a fool for no one Since I undid myself Took a page from her book Now I’m hooked on her shelf Sisters at blame Turtle dames Lost names And someones else Resurrect their hearts Recoil, restart New day to fray What tales will she tell Watch her scream Livid and seen I’ve devised a plan Said the man in green The likes of which history’s never seen Through her binding she (screams) If his fate is to repeat and lie Let a banshee kill the chain As they unwive and revive Revealing undone lives If his fate is to repeat and lie Let a banshee kill the chain As they unwive and revive Revealing undone lives (instrumental) Take lady’s right hand Take lady’s left hand, too She still can kick you Dethrone the pointer Bestow ring fingers, too She still can flick you Corrupt the left side Corrupt the right Her daughters will stick it to you (Now she'll scream) If his fate is to repeat and lie Let a banshee kill the chain As they unwive and revive If his fate is to repeat and lie Let a banshee kill the chain As they unwive and revive Revealing undone lives

When on the darkest night Even stars hide Through dreaming eyes Their souls take flight The world becomes A distant hum No need to run From dust or drums If I sing Beyond the stratosphere Little angels might hear Dancing With clouds gets tiring If you need a break from your stride Come inside I’ll make you a lullaby Now while these magic beings That fill my dreams Have gone, it seems The sky still gleams Like lost balloons That slip too soon They’ve shed cocoons Turned into moons If I sing Beyond the words you hear Could I disarm this fear Crouching In shade gets so lonely If you seek to play and not hide Come outside We’ll kiss all the stars good night (instrumental) So darling go to sleep Don’t mind the sheep For something deeper Longs to leap Whatever drops Know from the sobs Hearts don’t really stop And the moon can’t pop

For Me 04:18
White as snow Did the lamb know it followed Mary I have been found, it seems So let that fear be gone While some rip at the dream, The hand of God holds doors for me Full of grace, free from blame They’ve bleached my sins The winds ask if I’ve changed (instrumental refrain) Fates given in my name I’m so truly blessed My doe eyes rise to shame The world is outraged and obsessed But don’t bathe me in too much light Or I might burn or learn or lose what’s mine (instrumental refrain) I water the weeds They sprout my soul Ma loves her irony O say, can you not see The curses in my blood still breathe All the kids Wish they could live like Mary I have been found, it seems So let that fear be gone Split up and picked a team The hand of God holds doors for me For me

War Song 04:54
Fight or flee Where to go from here Is all unclear No one knows What the future holds The casts and molds have Only some answers to offer A snake made screamers of the scoffers Grey billows Start to flood my eyes And without guise my Soul’s exposed She opens up to fend I give consent. Though These pretty words may rhyme with fright A rhythm is building in the night It goes They might think it ludicrous To find so pulchritudinous The beasts that dance inside of us And make rage look like art They might think it calms the spell To say this fire comes from Hell But we know we don’t need to quell The laughter in our jaded hearts They can’t see what we see now And they cannot hear all these beautiful sounds For in this world Chaos makes pearls And all big men come from Little girls Little girls Born in white winter Still remember that Like scorched birds They rose from the dust of stars ‘Ts in who they are to Fly high exploding through the storm cloud The sun above can never be cowed It knows They might think it ludicrous To find so pulchritudinous The beasts that dance inside of us And make rage look like art They might think it calms the spell To say this fire comes from Hell But we know we don’t need to quell The laughter in our jaded hearts They can’t be what we’ll be now And they cannot hear all the souls in the ground Within the land of contraband The one eyed man conceives New old worlds They might think it ludicrous To find so pulchritudinous The beasts that dance inside of us And make rage look like art They might think it calms the spell To say this fire comes from Hell But we know we don’t need to quell The laughter in our jaded hearts X 2 They can’t reap What we’ll reap now And they can’t upkeep all the weeds they’ve endowed A rumble quakes As lightning breaks And fleets of flakes Like banners unfurl

Vampire Sky 02:21
In overtone When you could swear the air just moaned When you’re alone The vampire sky luminates with no light As the five senses hide The vampire night Just ahead farthest sight How I pray you will find The vampire sky Between off and on Betwixt the lightning and her song Where no one’s wrong The vampire sky Makes you feel you can fly As the darkest delight The vampire night Churns rainbows into white How I pray you will hide The vampire sky
