my body is a museum
who i am and who i’ve been
let me give it to you
(let me give it to you)
all the nights i’ve spent inside
let me give it to you
cigarettes and gucci bloom
(let me give it to you)
bodies are bibles and blessed and broken and dark blue
people are people and blessed and broken and dark blue
well i’ll write a letter to all the saints you think you are
and i won’t hesitate to burn it down
yeah i’ll write a letter to all the saints you think you are
and i won’t hesitate to burn it down
singing hallelujah
singing hallelujah
my body is a staircase
footfalls in the middle place
cigarettes and gucci bloom
(let me give it to you)
pull my hair, hands on my neck
while we’ve still got the time
let me give it to you
(let me give it to you)
well i’ll write a letter to all the saints you think you are
and i won’t hesitate to burn it down
yeah i’ll write a letter to all the saints you think you are
and i won’t hesitate to burn it down
singing hallelujah
singing hallelujah
singing hallelujah
singing hallelujah

Dancing in the Flames

what if i told you we could leave
ditch the scene
disappear from the race
faces never to be seen again
(again, again, again)
never to be seen again
(again, again, again)
cuz we’ll be breathing underwater
and dancing in the flames, yeah
we’ll be buried at the altar
of total pleasure and pain, that’s
my fantasy of leaving
my red hot desire for feeling
yeah we’ll be breathing under the water
and dancing in the flames
fuck all of our mortals
holy holy is the pain
kiss me harder once more daddy
before i go away
i’m leaving my body again, daddy
it’s lying, it’s lying in the rain
(before i go)
what if i told you we could leave
come with me, we’ll leave
without a trace
guns smoking
gods of
shame and glory won’t conquer me
i’m not what’s in front of me
standing in the mirror
i spit on the prophecy you whisper in my ear
you whisper in my ear like all the time
i’m not what’s in front of me
standing in the mirror
i spit on the prophecy you whisper in my ear
you whisper in my ear like all the time
all the time
cuz it’s on my mind like all the time
it’s on the corner of every page i write
it’s on my mind, it’s on my mind,
it’s on my mind
cuz we’ll be breathing underwater
and dancing in the flames, yeah
we’ll be buried at the altar
of total pleasure and pain, that’s
my fantasy of leaving
my red hot desire for feeling
yeah we’ll be breathing under the water
and dancing in the flames
fuck all of our mortals
holy holy is the pain
i’m leaving my body again, daddy
it’s lying, it’s lying in the rain
kiss me harder once more daddy
before i go away

Lying Love
03:17

you’re lying with me
listening to the breeze
cuz i keep all the doors open
so i can listen to the storm
i tell you i still believe
you tell me you still believe
but every time you leave
can’t tell which way you’re going
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
meet me at the gate
my hair wet red
water chlorine blue
you never planned on staying here
now did you?
my hair wet res
water chlorine blue
you never planned on staying here
now did you?
when you are my Darkness Visible
the center of every storm
i strain to watch your arms open
and welcome me home
well i go running every time
need inferno to save my life
and every time you lie
can’t tell which way you hide
and i don’t understand it
can’t wrap my head around it
don’t ask me to explain it
don’t ask if i’m alright
and i don’t understand it
can’t wrap my head around it
don’t ask me to explain it
don’t ask if i’m alright

party planners chain smoking
pull the water up the earth
molten blood smoke
blackened soil soaked
the american dream is a curse
you pull your hands up to your head
it’s all over now isn’t it?
you pull your hands up to the sky
are you alright with saying goodbye?
i want to be alone and i don’t know why
i don’t know why i just want to be alone
i don’t know why i just wanna get high and be alone
i don’t know why i just wanna get high and be alone
party planners chain smoking
pull the water up the earth
i see an event on the horizon
white lines on the black sky
you pull your hands up to your head
it’s all over now isn’t it?
you pull your hands up to the sky
are you alright with saying goodbye?
i want to be alone and i don’t know why
i don’t know why i just want to be alone
i don’t know why i just wanna get high and be alone
i don’t know why i just wanna get high and be alone

Bodies Falling
02:54
|

bodies fall through the sky
every day all the time
i can’t let the sunlight
into my leaning respite
bodies fall through the sky
levitate like all the time
are you here inside my mind
gonna break my heart
i used to picture you in magazines
i used to see you on the big screens
now it all feels like a distant dream
something to pass the time
i used to recount all of the scenes
you shining like a dying light
i used to picture a wedding ring
falling in love with the wrong guy
i used to picture you in magazines
i used to see you on the big screens
now it all feels like a distant dream
something to pass the time
i used to recount all of the scenes
you shining like a dying light
i used to picture a wedding ring
falling in love with the wrong guy
i want to fall, i want to fall
i want to fall if it breaks my heart
i want to fall, i want to fall
i want to fall if it breaks my heart

Blessing
02:23

we watched the water rise
up to the sky
the road payne’s gray
fog is dreary and so goodbye
and there’s cocaine in every window
amber yellow glass like a light show
if you’re gonna leave then turn around slow
everybody here lies
everybody here lies
everybody lies, everybody lies
everybody lies, everybody lies
everybody here lies
everybody lies
muscle memories of the pen
writing the name
muscle memories of the pen
fighting the shame
muscle memories of the pen
writing the name
muscle memories of the pen and the pain and
that fog is just the same
glowing up every street
and glowing up the irises
in the streetlights, my mother and i
and every man with my heart in their hand
and lipstick all over the place
my heart in their hand
and lipstick all over the place

Original Sin
04:02
|

the thrill is gone,
my youth has died
where’s the good in this body that you lay beside?
i’m always searching for adrenaline in the arms of a man
but it’s always only skin
why’s it’s always only skin
wake up, Original Sin,
tell me what it’s like
if you make it to heaven
and then i woke up again
didn’t think i’d wake up again
but the past is always black
and it’s talking real loud again
and i write in fours
tie together all my last words
singin bout how i’m a whore
singin i can’t do this anymore
i’m looking for a heroin
take me out of the bed again
i’m looking for a darkest friend
to hold onto his hand again
and i’m learning a little about being alone
i’ve learned a little about being alone
see i’m die lorelei all of the time
see i’m die lorelei all of the time
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
she’s going crazy ain’t she
the thrill is gone
my youth has died
where’s the good in this body that you lay beside?
i’m always searching for adrenaline in the arms of a man
but it’s always only skin
why’s it’s always only skin?
wake up, Original Sin,
tell me what it’s like
if you make it to heaven

Vampire Life

(i’m die lorelei)
i’m inside a nouveau painting
you watched all the colors dry
saw a tear flicker in your eye
why are things so hard all the time?
sink your teeth into me
make me come alive
make me feel it this time
i’m going insane
i’m climbing up the walls
can’t feel the pain
feel nothing at all
now you’re in my blood
what kind of
phantom will i become
avoiding the light
we riding at night
boy you’ve got the love for the vampire life
avoiding the light
we riding at night
boy you’ve got the love for the vampire life
i’m inside a deco drawing
you retraced the sinewing lines
i see a bitter frame of mind
i see teeth sinking into my spine
sink your teeth into me
make me come alive
make me feel it this time
i’m going insane
i’m climbing up the walls
can’t feel the pain
feel nothing at all
now you’re in my blood
what kind of
phantom will i become
avoiding the light
we riding at night
boy you’ve got the love for the vampire life
avoiding the light
we riding at night
boy you’ve got the love for the vampire life

i saw you standing there
and this time you
were ink blue like a tattoo
on my arm
hello friend,
i thought i’d never see you again
my darkest friend,
my phantom
my phantom,
phantom
i saw you standing there
cut off all your hair
why didn’t you call?
you know i got the shears
but you’ve got a power to you
i can’t deny the way it feels
the hardest stone that i could throw
beating my chest, like all the time
but then you tossed the keys in my hand
said, girl, get behind the wheel
and drive and drive and drive and drive all night
and daddy i’ll ride i’ll ride i’ll ride i’ll ride all night
if it’ll save my life, my life my life, my life
