If I'm made up of starstuff Recycle me Strip me You're wasting me Let me be Nothing Dust Put me in the center of the universe In a vast nothing Of every beautiful little thing That I don't understand And leave me there Let me keep my eyes

Starstuff
That good love thing inside her Suddenly stops Replaced Hollow It's a physical feeling Not again She leaves their bed and runs to the kitchen She must be thirsty No? She frantically looks around and tries Any logical thing To fill this pit It feels real. Like hands clawing at air inside her chest. Will you help me feel better? It hurts Can you help me feel better? It feels sick He looks at her A look she's seen before And this won't be different And she knows he can't help her. She leaves again. You were wonderful. She's sorry. Thank you for trying. She's broken. I have to go now. She breaks you too. But she knows you will heal. They all do.

When Love Won't Penetrate
You're lying next to me Dozing Peeking love at me eyes closing While I unbutton every button on your unforgiving clothing I Trace your skin to pass the time Count the moles and note the lines I Kiss each and every vertebrae that make up your perfect spine Oh I'll never waste a moment while I know this man is mine.

I didn't want to know That you love me You have me crying And you're so confused. You stare at me for too long And then you say "Oh, I can see it I can see I've made a mistake." And how do I say "YES." "YES you have MADE A MISTAKE." I was so happy. I must be a succubus Some kind of ********* You love me? Because Loving me is a lie. And now I cry And I feel like I never knew you at all.

Anything but That.
She waits to be picked I mean Picked up Across 27 She knows "Arduous journey" is a trek But she doesn't know They're talking about us. She's not going to make it in one piece Sorry, Doll I remember how I just wanted to touch it Then I wanted to taste it soft and so between my fingers press down brown prints Into her peach skin Who's trek are we on again? "Was it mine?" She asks I take another bite Yes, she loves me "Ours, Doll." Down 39 "Designed to fall apart" All too easily

Breakaway
Maybe I can find it with you I could tag alongside Touch you each time you become Electrified You can even feed on my light If I make you electric And I won't feel so pathetic When the light returned is mine And when it isn't me I'll find it with you
