Trapped [lyrics]

 

Trapped.

Trapped. 

Trapped.

In a locked box of steel

With deadbolts held fast

Can't move at all

And I scream and I scream

But I am locked in the walls 

Of this tight steel box

Trapped.

Trapped. 

Trapped. 

Like bricks on my back

All this stress weighs me down

Can't breathe at all

And I scream and I scream

But I'm crushed beneath

All these bricks on my back

Trapped.

Trapped.

Trapped.

Tits and ass in a mirror

A straight-jacket of beauty

Can't speak at all

And I scream and I scream

But I'm muted behind

this pretty type-cast facade

Trapped.

Trapped.

Trapped.

Trapped.

Trapped.

Trapped…

[1998]

Magnets [lyrics]

I was drawn to you 

There was nothing I could do

I was drawn to you

I know you felt it too

Eyes like an ocean

Drowning me with their gaze

A kiss like a potion

That left me in a haze

I knew I knew you, the second that we touched

You knew you knew me, as tight my hand you clutched 

We said we shouldn't, as if fire won’t burn the log

We said we wouldn't, as if dawn won’t bring the fog.

I was drawn to you

There was nothing I could do

I was drawn to you

I know you felt it too

Flip it tails or heads

Always landed on you

Count the miles, years, and beds,

One indelible fact was true

I knew I knew you, the second that we touched

You knew you knew me, as tight my hand you clutched 

We said we shouldn't, as if stars won’t light the sky

We said we wouldn't, as you slowly parted my thigh...

I was drawn to you

There was nothing I could do

I was drawn to you

I know you felt it too

My heart knew a truth

That I could not deny:

My magnetic North Is you 

On that I can rely

I knew I knew you, the second that we touched

You knew you knew me, as tight my hand you clutched 

We said we shouldn't, as if strength was left in me

We said we wouldn't, another lie we feign believe.

I was drawn to you

There was nothing I could do

I was drawn to you

I know you felt it too

We are magnets

Twin magnets

We are magnets

Twin magnets

and no matter where I go

no matter what I do

I am always pulled back to you.

Fallacy [lyrics]

 

Don't listen to a word they say

They live out of fear anyway

From behind the pulpit lies are spread

His name means peace and life

They all have said

But their hands are red

And their souls are dead

With rituals and fear they all are fed

That's why I fucking fled

Fuck all the prophets who say they've seen

Visions and angels in their dreams

Well tell me prophet, what does it mean

When I've never seen a fucking thing

But their hands are red

And their souls are dead

With rituals and fear they all are fed

That's why I fucking fled

Just believe

Just believe

Just believe

Believe and you will see

A goddamn fallacy

Yes their hands are red

And their souls are dead

With rituals and fear they all are fed

That's why I fucking fled

Yes that’s why I fucking fled.

21

 

Twenty-one

Diapers and

Phone calls and

Shopping malls

Snuff out the

One decent

Afternoon

We could use

To be free

Like the birds

We once were

Could we leave

All this mess

And drop the

To-do lists

Today?

Because

Twenty-one

Years go by

In a blink

Of an eye

So they say.

[2004]

Anger Tree

 

A burning fire inside my soul

Deeper and deeper a hole it has dug

It's like a tiny whirlpool inside a bowl

And I am lost in the water like a helpless bug.

Round and round and round I go

Where I should stop, nobody knows

This feeling is like a seed that I shall sow

And soon all this nonsense will make it grow.

Now this feeling a giant tree

Winding powerfully into the sky

Its branches stretch out for all to see

This strange feeling is like a tornado inside

Twisting

Twisting

Twisting

Twisting ...until finally it explodes. 

[1996]

Not Tonight

 

He came home

He smiled

Wryly

He did not see me

Not tonight.

In the soundproof

Walls of my

Heart

I cry out to him

He does not hear me

Not tonight.

I only need

A slice

Of nice

A morsel

Of empathy

Instead the wine

Of his misunderstanding

Drunkens me.

[2003]

Jump

 

Adjourn my heart to yours

Take care and lift me in

To dwell inside your flesh

A home.

We don't need to sign the blues

In our impetus love

Only die so we may live

Breathe deep

Take my hand

Jump.

[1999]
