Belle de Jour

MoonLight, come and find me
hidden behind my closed eyes,
draw your shadow over
the secrets of my two lives.
MoonLight, please, i beg you
see through me and my distance.
i dreamt i stole your kisses..
i stole them while you slumbered.
the romance i remember
is simplicity.
have i killed the flame
or just heightened my ideals?
this spring and all its blossoms
i give leave to get the best of me
and cover me with flowers
till i've healed.
i'm censored by the choices of the web
i've spun around me.
but i fell in love with kindness
and he fell in love with me.
so take me as i want to be,
surrendered under your breath.
naked, steal my kisses
and hound me to my death.
this mask i wear is wounded
like the soldier underneath.
this heart i hide is delicate
and worn.
use me in the shadows
for the shadows bring out light
and love, my light is almost gone.

And All of Your Dreams
02:36
|
|||
who are you anyway?
and what, if we remember your name?
what will it mean to you
cold in the grave?
warm in your palace
with all you are worth.
but now you are cold
in the earth.
oh ladybird, ladybird,
fly away home.
your house is on fire,
your children are gone,
and all of your dreams,
they came true.
and all of your dreams
died with you.
who are we anyway?
and what, if they remember our name?
what will it mean to us
cold in the grave?

Stranger
04:32
|
|||
you're the one
followed me home.
hands of the giant,
beard of the gods.
sacred and secret.
sacred and secret.
you took your broken,
followed my steed,
bestowed your kindness
on me.
tremble me over.
now where shall i follow
to make for the shore?
bring me back stranger than before.
stranger,
stranger.

Take My Breath
05:48
|
|||
fallen shine,
remember a time
when smiles begot me,
the words were mine.
is this the dark, dreadful now?
is this before me
and is this
behind?
take my breath,
undo my sash.
is this the darkness
beckoning us?
this is the flame i wished for now.
this is before you
and this is
behind.
take my breath.
take my breath.
take my breath...

Yesterday's Stains
04:58
|
|||
we don't know their minds.
i'm so tired
and so behind.
suicide child
with life in her veins,
blood for tomorrow
in yesterday's stains.
in blackest air
the winter here
gives birth to emptiness.
and she believes
the evening breathes
the hopelessness
in us.
suicide child
with life in her veins.
blood for tomorrow
for yesterday's stains.
suicide child
with life in her veins.
blood for tomorrow
in yesterday's stains.
in yesterday's stains.

Lonesome Tame

lonesome tame;
sorry believer in the cause.
do you know the truth?
lonesome days;
sorry deceiver of the years.
will they welcome you?
will they welcome you?
