Earth Author
Stuck in the jaws of life And she's got bedroom eyes The candle's burning cinnamon But I don't know where she's been And I sense something eternal about her gaze But I feel something infernal about her ways Cause I made a silly bet with Saturn And now I've lost track of the patterns That gave my life meaning And gave nature's face a gleaning grace I've already been in the garden, the place Where all veils consist of a thin piece of lace But to me, she looks like the May Queen Wearing a mask to disguise her motives unseen But my heart is stronger than my reign She will always be my window pain That I lean on whenever I feel the shame That comes from the souls that fall In every drop of rain

Window Pain
This may serve no purpose I don't wanna make you nervous I just wanna make you think Summer will be over before you blink You see, I am just a pile of ashes, trying to rise from the floor And you are just a magician playing with your trap doors Revolving as I'm dissolving as you're evolving Well I went searching for big bad love When a demon landed on my doorstep with a thud It told me not to worry 'bout the cosmic hierarchy My lotus flower angel's still stuck in the mud And Philomena wasn't around to catch me when I fell down So I dove into the fires of the moon's cold underground All the colors and the echoes of my dreams resided there All my superwomen and all my nightmares You casually say, let's go downtown But I'm not a free agent, I am bound By a force you could never understand So please don't take my photograph, just take my hand But I don't wanna make you nervous And I probably don't deserve this I am just trying to make you think Before this pen runs out of ink

Revolving
Our hungry souls desired long before the umbilical remnant dissolved From the beginning, we desired death We flirted with it, took it to dinner Because there's a difference between white walls and a empty sheet of paper You can decorate with pictures, scribble down words But the first mistake, the first fake heart, the first ride, the first scar Will never disappear It lasts forever You may disagree, but I know better None of us were born with a blank canvas The memories were simply erased So we wouldn't go crazy But some of us did anyway
