lyrics
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.
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.

Heart Shaped Bed (Side B)
by Nicole Dollangangersupported by 4 fans who also own “Belle de Jour”
I prefer the A side of this album but the closer is such a lovely precursor to MiMA, and Chapel is maybe her most defining song besides Angels of Porn
