Go without 'Til the need seeps in You're lovin more Collecting of the petals for the stem And glow Glow Melt and flow Eviscerate your fragile frame And spill it out in the ragged floor A thousand different versions of yourself And if the old guards still defend They got nothing left on which you depend So enlist every ounce Of your bright blood And off with their heads Jump from the brook You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life And they got no right As sure as you have eyes They got no right Just put yourself in my new shoes and see that I do what I do because the old guards still defend (pretty guards with shiny hands) we got nothing left on which we depend so enlist every ounce of your bright blood And off with their heads Jump from the brook You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise you despise that you despise that you despise that you despise

Magdalena 03:58
Overcome by your Moving temple Overcome by this Holiest of altars So pure So rare To witness such an earthly goddess That I've lost my self control Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your Holiest of altars I'd sell My soul My self-esteem a dollar at a time One chance One kiss One taste of you my Magdalena I bear witness To this place, this prayer, so long forgotten So pure So rare To witness such an earthly goddess That I'd sell My soul My self-esteem a dollar at a time For one chance One kiss One taste of you my black Madonna I'd sell My soul My self-esteem a dollar at a time One taste One taste One taste of you my Magdalena

I feel her smooth skin slightly brush against the back side of my arm. I need the song started over Your crying made me miss my favorite part. I hear the exclaimation point!! Her eyes are so there [dee deee dee...] They're greener... Lay back, the song is almost over I tried to hear you out but I dozed off. I need the song started over Your crying made me miss my favorite part. Rachael, it's times like this I wonder!!

Jesus Christ 04:02
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face The kind you'd find on someone I could save If they don't put me away It'll be a miracle Do you believe you're missing out And everything good is happening somewhere else? But with nobody in your bed The night's hard to get through And I will die all alone And when I arrive, I won't know anyone Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again So what did You do those three days You were dead? 'Cuz this problem's gonna last More than the weekend Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die I'm a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot? Do I float through the ceiling? Do I divide and fall apart? 'Cuz my bright is too sly to hold back all my dark And the ship went down in sight of land And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands? I know you'll come for me in the night like a thief But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique I know you think that I'm someone you can trust But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up So do you think that we could work out a sign Some I know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you'll come for the people like me But we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails, we're tongue tied to a hating factory Yeah, we all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine
