Dancing slowly in an empty room
A razor as my partner
It bows
I curtsy
Dancing slowly in an empty room
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
My partner takes my wrists
I shut my eyes as red drips onto the dance floor
Dancing slowly in an empty room
My blood is pounding in my head
My partner spins me around
My thoughts are swirling around and they won't stop
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Red spreading pooling around our feet
My feet start to slip and
The floors are painted red
Laying dead in an empty room
The razor lays cradled in my hand
The white dress is now red
The dance is over.

something pure something whole,
live for that,
something shining something white,
live for that too,
something worm and moth eaten,
that's my heart
something tied together with tape glue and string,
that's my soul

oh momma please don't do this to me
don't turn away and pretend you don't know me
don't say that you didn't know what was goin on in the back room
the door was open
you heard the carnal sins screaming out
you heard
daughter screaming for
father to stop beating
brother who in turn yelled at
father to stop touching
me
but you just made apple pie
you saw us as the flawless family unit
that was your lie
father
mother
sister
brother
but that didn't change what was going on in that back room while you were baking apple pie
that night we ate at a morgue
the corpses were eating apple pie
the perfect family unit
eating their pie
father
mother
sister
brother

I didn't expect for it to end like this
It was almost too easy
I said that I needed time
So you left me
Just like that
A year long love was gone
Like a storm, it was there
Did it's damage
And left
-
And now I'm here
Standing in the pouring rain
Outside your aparment
Phone in hand
About to call
About to ask for another chance
-
As I raise the phone to my ear
The door opens
You walk out onto the wet pavement
Memories assault me & fly away with the wind
The day we met disappears
Our first lingering kiss gone
All of those nights we spent together fly away
The first time you uttered 'I love you' shatters
And I'm left, empty
A shell of who I used to be
Because you're there
Walking past me
With someone else
-
She's clinging to your arm
Like you're her life-line
Just like that
All we used to be is gone
Like dry lightning in a desert storm
You're gone into the storm.

I am mine
Before I'm anyone else's
That's why I'm surprised I fell for you
And gave you my heart
You are just a man right?
I still can't wrap my mind around how
You managed to bewitch me
Like this.

Thinking of you dear
Has kept me up for ages
Now my weary self can't
Be sure of whether or not
I'm dreaming
My way through existence
Or actually living it.
*
Now that you live in my mind
And you're not here
And I can't hold you
And I can't kiss you
I understand distance.

We live
On a blue planet
That circles around
A flaming ball of gases
Next to a moon
That controls the oceans....
...If you tell me that you don't believe in miracles
I'll point out the fact
That we are made out of stardust
If you still don't believe then...
...I'll point to the God that made it all.
