brown eyes

every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
i get lost
every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
i count the cost

i think you're worth a little pain
just don't bring the rain
don't bring the rain

every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
makes me smile
every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
i wanna say 'just stay here awhile'

i think you're worth a little pain
just don't bring the rain
don't bring the rain

every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
i get blue
every time i see your brown eyes, brown eyes
i fall in love with you

i think you're worth a little pain
just don't bring the rain
don't bring the rain

communion (you wanna shut my mouth)

let me partake of the daydreams that will eventually break my heart
blood on my tongue, body undone, now it's my turn to come apart

you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door

i see, i see, i see
everything you thought you hid from me

i feel fingers slide over my mouth and tighten their grip on my arm
love is a weapon, i'm not a victim but i feel like i'm falling apart

you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door

i see, i see, i see
everything you thought you hid from me

you wanna shut my mouth, you wanna shut my mouth, you wanna shut my mouth
i know you do
i know you do

but you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door

shrug like a devil

so go laugh behind my back
and sleep with all my friends
what good are they to me anyway
when they'd trade my trust for your bed

i can smile like an angel, shrug like a devil
and leave you to find your own heaven or hell

but don't think that i don't know, don't think i'll let you come in the door
or climb in my window, it's 4 am and i am just fine on my own
and you are the one who's scared to be alone
who's scared to be alone

so go ahead, drown me out
with another predictable joke
i wouldn't waste my breath anyway
cuz i'm saving it up for a smoke

i can smile like an angel, shrug like a devil
and leave you to find your own heaven or hell

but don't think that i don't know, don't think i'll let you come in the door
or climb in my window, it's 4 am and i am just fine on my own
and you are the one who's scared to be alone
who's scared to be alone

orlando (cells & divisions)

off off off with pearls & ribbons
down down down to the skin
discarded wigs & powders
unguarded by fans or feathers

society's been sitting my judge & jury
but i don't need no help to make my own decisions
it's my heart confined within these cells & their divisions
and i am beautiful without
i am beautiful without the sentence of my peers passed down
there's no deliberation here

burn burn burn the labels & names
turn turn turn every page the same
trample on the tools of etiquette & status
sample the forbidden feast of habit & fetish

society's been sitting my judge & jury
but i don't need no help to make my own decisions
it's my heart confined within these cells & their divisions
and i am beautiful without
i am beautiful without the sentence of my peers passed down
there's no deliberation here

sinister height

catch me, hook line & sinker
pluck me from friendly water
dangle me in enemy air
reel me into a net of despair

i will fight fight fight until i die
i will bite your hand, blind your eye
bruise your flesh, break your will
throw me back while you still have a chance

bait me with a tainted lure
tease me until i can't be sure
if up is down, if left is right, alright
raise me from my depths to your sinister height

i will fight fight fight until i die
i will bite your hand, blind your eye
bruise your flesh, break your will
throw me back while you still have a chance
