Duality
01:32
|

what no longer serves you
you may choose to bury
inside of each of us lives a certain duality
urgency and apathy
someday the two you may choose to marry
together forever
make no apology
when it comes to you by bedside
by the mist of lilith's moonlight
to be the most beautiful girl you've ever seen
a vision of glitter from the air
shimmering
be the love
be it fully
be the body
be it completely
be the light
be the reality
be the doll

Be The Doll
03:31
|

bury that in the ground no more no more
i don't want her around no more no more
i thought you were an angel at first
tell me where you want me and what for
i wanna be the doll this time
the sad eyes the painted smile
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye
i wanna be the doll this time
who keeps you up in the middle of the night
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye
bury her in the ground no more no more
and all the mothers of pearls dear lord dear lord
cashmere and silk you said i'm what poets feel
tell me where you want me and what for
i wanna be the doll this time
the sad eyes the painted smile
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye
i wanna be the doll this time
who keeps you up in the middle of the night
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye
great love i stay busy
i wanna be the doll this time
the sad eyes the painted smile
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye
i wanna be the doll this time
who keeps you up in the middle of the night
painted brow lavender highlight
red lip ochre eye

Lavender Hue

lavender hue all about you
this heart is one who tells my body what to do
and she aches as you cough up a lung
before the sink with no clothes on
the lesser the weight the lesser the burden
the lighter my feet the more faint the lonesome
less daunting the mirror less scary this very body
you lilac in the morning
cover me in hyacinths and daisies
had a dream i had a baby
adorning she in love lies bleeding
the lesser the weight the lesser the burden
the lighter my feet the more faint the lonesome
less daunting the mirror less scary this very body
lavender hue all about you
this heart is one who tells my body what to do

Teddy Bear

baby lit a candle and baby lit another
chatterly's lady has yet another lover
baby traced the ceiling for what her dream said
she's never gonna be the last girl on earth
teddy bear
i had another dream about you
teddy bear
i covered you all up in blue
teddy bear
i won't compare your love to his it's not fair
teddy bear
baby is an angel and baby's headstrong
her heart is on fire and belongs to no one
just like a lover she turns to the mirror
she says lay me down on a bed of roses
teddy bear
what color eyes do i have again
teddy bear
keep on running your fingers through my hair
teddy bear
i won't compare your love to his it's not fair
teddy bear
sometimes you're the siren and sometimes you're the siren song
don't wanna be the painter i wanna be the painting
sometimes you're the siren and sometimes you're the siren song
don't wanna be the painter i wanna be the painting

when you're out there
somewhere samson
i will be holding onto your back
so don't lose this
somewhere samson
but don't say you love me back
i want to dream in my sleep
but your fingertips are my friends
and you tracing me is enough
to bring me to consciousness
have you ever
painted from memory
versed from your feelings
i have i have i have have i have have i
have you ever
felt a heart beating
kissed away the quivering
i have i have i have have i have have i
when you're out there
somewhere samson
i will be holding onto your back
so don't lose this
somewhere samson
save it with a lock of my hair
i want to dream in my sleep
but your fingertips are my friends
and you tracing me is enough
to bring me to consciousness
have you ever
painted from memory
versed from your feelings
i have i have i have have i have have i
have you ever
felt a heart beating
kissed away the quivering
i have i have i have have i have have i

Hands
03:38

i said i love you
and then i said i didn't mean it
but oh how i meant it
and surely i do mean it
and then you left again
go out of my bed again
closed the door real soft again
i felt my own heart break again
i miss you all the time
even when i'm in your arms
i miss you all the time daddy
when you're here and when you're gone
i'm in love with a stranger
no sign of when i'll see you again
i'm in love with a stranger
'cross towns and cars i hold this in
i'm in love with a strange man
but does he see me as i am
does he have big enough hands
to handle the handful that i am
play a song for me
using only the black keys
play a song for me daddy
please stay please don't leave
i'm in love with a bad man
no sign of when i'll see you again
i'm in love with a bad man
'cross towns and cars i hold this in
i'm in love with a bad man
but does he see me as i am
does he have big enough hands
to handle the handful that i am
oh no daddy
you wanna be with me
do you wanna be free
darling

Hosiery
02:46

my feet are black
i just walked back from hell
and he had eyes that were all on me
wish i could peel them off
boil them in a pot
do you think that we could do it like that
and i am on my knees
crawling to a distant light
in my mind
hi
call me something like a monster
rip these hosiery off of me
sometimes
sometimes
and i'm like
hey man eamon
don't you know you're just like satan
screaming begging daddy please
won't you punish me
baby's got a new dress rip it off of me
got some new nails to make you bleed
male attention makes me sick
now give me more of it
and i've never felt this way before
but it's something new and it's something pure
never felt this way before
hi
and i am on my knees
crawling to a distant light
in my mind
hi
call me something like a monster
rip these hosiery off of me
sometimes

Broke The Mirror
02:18
|

i remember when i broke the mirror
shards of silver pricking my finger
glittering in the darkness of my midnight closet
and it smells like spoiled milk in here
but i stay put so i'd associate the feeling with expiration
and i look up
i've sleepwalked to the side walk
of the first home i ever knew
and i never felt immediacy thrust over me
and i never laid on a cold mattress
waiting, waiting
i need to leave
and suddenly i'm in the back of my car
and there are sirens, sirens
flashing red and blue
and i'm not exactly sure but i have a feeling that
i was heading right back to you you you
i remember when i broke the mirror
shards of silver pricking my finger
glittering in the darkness of my midnight closet

like the non-consensual grinding
of a greasy drunk at the club
i tell reality to fuck off
but i can still feel his sweaty palms groping me
his bumpy arms all around me
his beer breath down my spine
his hard whiskey dick throbbing
telling me to shut up
telling me to listen
telling me i'm gorgeous but i'm stupid
telling me my identity won't cross over in the real world
telling me ego is false lashes and a curling iron
telling me the worst has yet to come for me
i've learned that lesson we've been here before
but you're still forcing shit down my throat
you're still forcing shit down my throat
you're still forcing shit down my throat
but you never had to worry about surgeries
or fucking pills or legal inquiries
to justify your identity to a society who could give a shit less about you
that sense of belonging is long since forgotten
my insides are hollow you've already scraped me out
you with the fat man fingers
with the threatened cis straight male gaze
with the celebrity politics and the dizzying suburban haze
the obvious and unassuming quickly settling
money handling faith obscuring
call me something like a monster
when you see me on fox 4 news
a transsexual raped or beaten or killed
but it was probably her fault
because you could see her dick through her skirt
and blow me off when i'm rotting
six feet under in a suit and tie
maybe i'll pray i'll at least get a hashtag

feel free to sink your teeth
draw me out suck me clean
he asked me once
hey did you ever believe
well i picked up the book of psalms
cuz i always liked the words
and i'd sing along the songs
and i'd string along some chords
but no sir i never once did see
eyes up in the sky staring down at me
and i'm living in fear that the south might rise again
and all the children sing how great how great is our god
how great is our god
how great is our god
how great is our god
how great is our god
