THIS SKIN
Highs and lows
I’m coming down
You’d think I’d know
The secret by now
CHORUS
This skin
This skin
The attire I’m living in
This skin
This skin
The attire I’m leaving in
Break my heart
I know you will.
I’ve become
Accustomed.
CHORUS
This skin
This skin
The attire I’m living in
This skin
This skin
The attire I’m leaving in
BRIDGE
And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,
You go, you go, you go away
You know that I’m no good
Highs and lows
I’m coming down
You’d think I’d know
The secret by now

The Refusal

THE REFUSAL
You say you can’t sleep
And I wonder if it’s on your mind
Because I can’t sleep
And it’s you that’s wandering through mine
The scars that heed me
They won’t let my heart in thee reside
Not coming through
These vicious waves
This tide
Won’t rise again
Afraid to let it tie me down
No, I will never fall in love again
No, I will never, no, not I
No, I will never fall in live again, not I
Refuse to stand beneath
The vicious, wounded claw
Am I to lick your wounds
Retreat after the thaw
So you can live in warmth that I provide
To leave me in the cold
No, I will never fall in love again
Oh no, not I
No, I will never fall in love again, not I
How would you sleep if I was ever to in you, confide?
Or does the bliss leave when I name it, so you can deny
That you don’t feel this
Don’t you tell me that I’ve lost my mind
While you lay down with him
With nothing left inside
Except the fear to leave
I know
Cuz I’ve been there
And this is why
I’ll never fall in love again
Oh no, not I
No, I will never fall in love again,
Oh no, not I
Just close your eyes
Pretend this never happened
Go to sleep and dream of all the skeletons
That comfort you as you slowly resign
To never fall in love
With him beside, you.

ELISE
Well this may seem absurd
I’m trying so hard to be heard
But you can’t hear my please
You burn my dear
So out of reach
CHORUS
Burn, you’ll always burn
I’ll never learn
To wait in line, my dear, you see
You’re my release
Elise
Some days you look pretty
The next day you’re a handsome priest
I worship at your feet
Or is this just a sex release?
CHORUS
Learn, I’ll never learn
To wait my turn
For true love to call me, you see
Darkness relieves,
Elise
BRIDGE
It’s just a moment in time
To cradle all the unspoken
And then I’ll find a way
To make you come my way
I know it’s a mortal sin
To move into a heart that’s taken
So I won’t try
I’ll take my time
And wait for you to come out broken.
Ooooh…
A sadist I must be
To chase things I know cannot be
So get away from me
But I tied myself to your leash
Elise.
Elise.
Elise.

Bewitched

BEWITCHED
If loving was a curse
I’d want to be
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you
If only love
Would come my way
I would know hearts
Could all remain
If loving was a curse
I’d want to be
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you
I’d tame the heart
To love again
Break open wide
And feel the pain
If loving was a curse
I’d want to be
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you
BRIDGE
And all the lovers in the world
Who’d ever come my way
I would love again
To find the light that sets
Over my old regrets
And love foretells
To break the spell, again.
If loving was a curse
I’d want to be
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you
Bewitched by you

IRENE
Irene
Walk across the canyon
Whisper sweet companion
Looking at me
I scream
Please don’t make it over
Don’t go long for cover
These fools, they will trick you
And the words I say
Don’t believe me
I was not ok
I wasn’t breathing
CHORUS
Irene
You were comfort and bones
You were hard
Irene
You were covered in thorns
Irene
She’s got nothing to say
So I should walk away
Irene
You are sweet precision
Can’t make a decision
You are counting on me
I scream
Please don’t make it over
Don’t go duck for cover
You’re a fool to argue
And the words you said
Don’t believe them
You were not OK
You weren’t breathing
CHORUS
Irene
You were comfort and bones
You were hard
Irene
You were covered in thorns
Irene
She’s got nothing to say
So I should walk away
BRIDGE
These words don’t fit.
My love is near the end
I can forgive
Easily, easily
Please come to, come
Won’t you just come to me
These fools, they will trick you. Irene.

DREAM LOVER
Close your eyes and go to sleep
My dream lover
I’ll be thinking of
Ways to bring my love
Close your eyes and think of me
My dream lover
There will be enough
Room to breathe my love
Cuz there’s nothing I can do
Won’t release this
Keep this true
Close your eyes and walk with me
My dream lover
As the sun above shines
So does my love

Don't Wanna Go Outside

DON’T WANNA GO OUTSIDE
This autumn wind begins to chill my bones
I think I may, I think I may walk to the corner
I pick and break
I wing in vain and sweat
Resolve another cigarette
CHORUS
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Morning and noon
Evening and night, collide
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
This winter chill begins to kill my hope
I sit in skin that can no longer hold me
Weight of the sea, weight of the sea inside
I sit and think of all the things my momma told me
CHORUS
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Morning and noon
Evening and night, collide
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
Don’t wanna go, don’t wanna go outside
BRIDGE
I believed enemies
I begin holding in
I’ve endured
You can see
If I’m hurt
I can’t breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe.
REPEAT CHORUS TO END

Please Forgive Me

PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Goodnight my sweet darling
I bid you every night
I hope that you can hear me
In your tower in the sky
I’m always gonna love you
Until the day I die
I failed you in so many ways
I can’t forgive myself
CHORUS
Please, forgive me.
Please, forgive me.
I know that you don’t owe me a thing.
Goodnight my sweet rabbit
Please pray for me sometime
I know I had the bad in me
The voices in my head are getting quieter.
Quieter. Shhhh.
The days seem never ending
Without you in my arms
Please say that we can be again
I swear I’ll be a better man
I already am.
REPEAT CHORUS
I know that you don’t owe me a thing
Well, I caused you so much suffering
The demons inside that led me on
But I’m fighting back and I’m getting strong
I swear on my life, in all that I do
That only my love
Will come to you.
Please, forgive me.

White Rabbit

WHITE RABBIT
There is a white rabbit in the forest
I’ve seen her come to bay
She rides the wind beside her babies
And when she finds someone to fancy
She runs away.
She runs away.
She runs away.
She runs.
There is a white rabbit in the forest
I’ve seen her come debate
She finds a mate
And tries for harvest
She finds a mate
And tries her hardest
There are plenty of rabbits in the forest
But she belongs to him
And when she goes to him
She speaks of losing
So much.
Trying to trust again.
There is a white rabbit in the forest
She hides some marks to see
And when she comes to me
I’ll be the father
Of her unborn children
I’ll take all you’ve hidden
BRIDGE
She comes to my secret garden
If I choose to keep her secrets
She tells me I’m the deepest hole she’ll ever climb
She says she had babies
But none have come to see her
In the forest
There is a white rabbit in the forest
Some days she comes to me
When she wants to be free
From the trappings
Of the forest
And her children.

Lullaby For A Ghost

LULLABY FOR A GHOST
Sit here, right beside me
Let me whisper in your ear
There are rabbits coming
Tooth and blood and all their,
Smearing of the ashes
Of the one I sued to know
She’s no longer with us
Thought I knew,
What did I know?
What did I know?
Come and sit, get closer
Never fear, your daddy’s home
I’ve been waiting for this
For two years or so, I’ve known
You were lying to me
All the fears, they have come true
Now humiliation
I am here
What do I do?
What do I do?
Veil has lifted, I’m gone
Body shivers, I’m so cold
But the fire of hellions
Beat outside my chamber door
What have you done to me?
All these thoughts that will not go
Once we’re friends and lovers
Now I’m fading like a ghost.
Like a ghost.
Like ghost.

ISOLATION LULLABY
Don’t be scared
I am right beside you
Even if I’m not there
I am coming home, soon
Don’t be frightened
I will slay the monsters in the closet
I’m a giant
When I put my mind to…
It’s such a scary feeling
The harm that’s in the air
So close your eyes
And think of me
I’ll come to you
Inside your dreams
And hold you close
No, I won’t go away,
Go away,

ADEGA
Simple as fog
Settling on the ocean
I see the ocean
Sitting on the fog.
I was never lonely.
Now I sit and talk
About the times
I used to fly
And all I used to see.
Mine.
Sit upon the ocean
Flying birds above
And bats.
I see the lizards
Crawl out of the trees
And rocks.
Landing in the ocean
I am just a man
Who used to be
A woman
I can’t say much
It’s too often.
Fly to me.
Fly to me.
Landing in the ocean
You will never drown
Cuz I will always be afloat
The boat that you
Surround yourself
Don’t let him take you down.
Landing in the ocean
You will learn to swim
The way that dolphins do
This isn’t a retreat
I love you.
