Back Again
03:37

Did you think you'd see the day, triumphant in the game I'll never play
Did you think I'd move aside and use my time to fade away
Well you'll never know, where I've been and where I'm going to go
And you'll never understand how I've managed without your guiding hand
My skin is stronger, my wings are longer
My heart is harder, my teeth are sharper
My skin is stronger, my wings are longer
My heart is harder, my teeth are sharper
I thought I'd never get over every little thing reminding me of you
I thought I'd never know protection from the damage that you do
But you'll never gain forgiveness in the words I'll never say
And I've got my head up high, just gotta suck up all the rivers I've cried
My skin is stronger, my wings are longer
My heart is harder, my teeth are sharper
My skin is stronger, my wings are longer
My heart is harder, my teeth are sharper
The hardest fall, the deepest pull, the sickest chill, just makes me stronger

Chipping Myself Away
03:47
|
|||
I just woke up, still drunk
Some guy is fucking me, what the fuck?
And I'm too dazed to do a thing
So I mildly take his...
I'm sure the night was worth it
Grim morning light, it's just a side effect
But now it's like I'm in a seedy porn flick
Fuck this script! There's nothing hot about it
Last night everything, it all made so much sense
I was high, I was high on my own radiance
But this morning, there's just the price to pay
I'm here again, chipping myself away
I've become a lying liability
You'd think I might grow up and gain some discipline
I'm sure I was a goddess but now my eyes, no longer dilated, I'm only feeling violated
So hard to say, but I'll tell it to you anyway
Last night everything, it all made so much sense
I was high, I was high on my own radiance
But this morning, there's just the price to pay
I'm here again, chipping myself away
And now he's all over me and I don't feel anything
Loving is easy, when love don't mean a thing
But I'm playing a losing game, I'm chipping myself away
I'm sculpting a gargoyle, I'm starting to change
Chipping myself away...

Incubus
03:57
|

My mum believes in making love
And nothing but a sacred love
A gift from God, do as you should
A girl's reward for being good
But Queen Mab taught me how to bear
She's the queen of pain and despair
And I'm a woman now, in a woman's hell
And how it hurts, I could never tell
Oooh yeah, my skin is crawling
My baby's forming
How could you ever understand
How it feels when it worms inside
Yeah you know, they'll never teach
How it breaks your mind
The stuff that's real, and what you never see
Yeah, life and dreams, it's all the same to me
I'll never know what's to be said
But it echoes in my head
Oooh yeah, my skin is crawling
My baby's forming
So rockabye, now don't you cry
We all must die, we all must die
So rockabye, now don't you cry
Oooh yeah my skin is crawling
My baby's forming
I used to know the words to say
But he's stripped them all away

Dirty Arrows
03:39
|
|||
He bought me with a devil's kiss, so glamorous
I sold my soul for all those things that slip from my hold
Madness and black magic, riding the line between the edge and the abyss
And as I fell I knew, I'd lost control
How could I see, a demented cherub waiting for me
The dirty arrows speed, contracting this disease
How could I see dirty arrows, through my skin like a needle
How could I see dirty arrows, through my skin like a needle
How could I believe, in a weapon so evil
How could I flee dirty arrows, they made a cripple of me
He welcomed me so tenderly, with open arms
And as he struck, he said he'd keep me safe from harm
Led me to the gutter, and now I'm down nothing else really matters
My heart is gone, my body swinging on and on
How could I see dirty arrows, through my skin like a needle
How could I see dirty arrows, through my skin like a needle
How could I believe, in a weapon so evil
How could I flee dirty arrows, they made a cripple of me

Cold Comfort
03:29
|
|||
Your caresses, cold comfort for my burns
And I'm better when I come back alone
My transgressions, you just don't wanna know
And I'm left here with nowhere else to go
Don't want you to hold me, want you to hurt me, don't you know
I'll play the victim, another vixen who when born again, turns out the same
I'll play the victim, a work of fiction that when told again, turns out the same
So stop me from feeling this bad
Yeah, shoot me, cos it's me that I can't stand
You got me, step up and be a man
And hit me, cos I need a guiding hand
Don't want you to love me, want you to hate me, don't you know
I'll play the victim, another vixen who when born again, turns out the same
I'll play the victim, a work of fiction that when told again, turns out the same
Your good, good intentions are just cold, cold comfort
Cos I can't, can't change the way I am
And my cruel, cruel confessions are just cold, cold comfort
Cos I can't, can't make you understand
I'll play the victim, another vixen who when born again, turns out the same
I'll play the victim, a work of fiction that when told again, turns out the same

Ice and Rain
02:59
|
|||
You're divine, or so you think but I could make you mine
Men like you are never hard to find
Superstar, how could I ever stray too far
When you're here, and you're leading me in my nightmares
You'll never have a lover like me
But imagination is free
So play it over like a DVD
You really think you're gonna take me home?
Go on baby, get your chloroform
You really think I'll be enticed again?
Go back to hell, hope for ice and rain
You're insane, and I'll never be seduced again
Men like you are never gonna change
You'll never have a lover like me
But infatuation is free
So catch it over like an STD
You really think you're gonna take me home?
Go on baby, get your chloroform
You really think I'll be enticed again?
Go back to hell, hope for ice and rain
You're just a speck of dirt on the windowpane
You're just another drop in the pouring rain
You're just another drag passing through my veins
And you'll feel it every time that you hear my name
You really think you're gonna take me home?
Go on baby, get your chloroform
You really think I'll be enticed again?
Go back to hell, hope for ice and rain

Drinking For Two
04:56
|
|||
Fill me up, yeah I'm drinking for two
Light it up, yeah I'm smoking for two
Got another mouth to abuse
Got another life to refuse
Well they say that you reap what you sow
But I ain't gonna let this one go
It's not a lovechild, it's just a fuckchild
And it'll be dead before it can grow
Yeah I thought about you as I walked out the door
With my miniature version of you to abort
A devil in wait, a scapegoat to hate
I never wanted anything less, or more
Got some things I wanna say
Got some gifts to send your way
Fill me up, yeah I'm drinking for two
Light it up, yeah I'm smoking for two
Got another mouth to abuse
Got another life to refuse
I've got a leech that I'm gonna ignore
Yeah, this little bitch wants my body and more
And you know I won't let it, you can forget it
It's making me sick just to think that it's yours
Got some things I wanna say
Got some shit to send your way
Fill me up, yeah I'm drinking for two
Light it up, yeah I'm smoking for two
Got another mouth to abuse
Got another life to refuse

Rosie
03:23
|
|||
I see her there, standing across the street
And what she wears, it's like she could be me
And now she's here, sitting across the bed
She feels so near, she might be in my head
She knows it all, the sickest things I think and do
She sees me fall, beside me as I fight on through
Days come and go, they come and go with Rosie
Life burns me dry but I'll get high on her
Men come and go, and all that stays is Rosie
Love bleeds me dry, but I'll rely on her
Let's try it all again
She sees me there, standing across the street
She holds my stare, bright eyes that shine on me
And now she's here, soft hands across the bar
So unaware of all the eyes that rest on her
She knows it all, the sickest things I think and do
She sees me fall, beside me as I fight on through
Days come and go, they come and go with Rosie
Life burns me dry but I'll get high on her
Men come and go, and all that stays is Rosie
Love bleeds me dry, but I'll rely on her
She'll see me fall, witness me crawl, she knows it all
And she's still holding my hand
She'll hold it fast, right to the last, no questions asked
She understands
She'll help me land
Days come and go, they come and go with Rosie
Life burns me dry but I'll get high on her
Men come and go, and all that stays is Rosie
Love bleeds me dry, but I'll rely on her
Let's try it all again
With smoke and cheap champagne

Sackcloth and Ashes
03:47
|
|||
Scratch the surface, get my nails deep inside
Drink the darkness, see what devils I can find
Staring into lifeless eyes, stay until it kills the light
String my body up, become your sacrifice
I got the lashes, I got the lashes
Sackcloth and ashes
I got the lashes, I got the lashes
I got my ball and chain, you calling my name
I got the floor to claim, I'm falling again
Start the sentence, got my veil of deepest white
Draw the end and see what weakness you can find
Falling into darkest eyes, fall until I've lost the fight
String my body up, your consolation prize
I got the lashes, I got the lashes
Sackcloth and ashes
I got the lashes, I got the lashes
I got my ball and chain, you calling my name
I got the floor to claim, I'm falling again
Calling your name
Falling again

Daddy's Girl
05:28
|
|||
I've got it made, yeah I've made it in the shade
Won't pretend I've behaved
You've got tonight, baby turn out the light
And I'll pretend you look alright
You know what I want, baby
You know what I want
You know what I want, baby
You know what I want
The path to hell is paved with diamonds and pearls
But I'm so easy swayed in a rich man's world
He lifts the spell when the clock strikes twelve
But it's the choice I've made, and I'm a daddy's girl
You can look, you can look at me that way
But it's the price you gonna pay
As you please, I've got no apologies
For getting down on my knees
You know what I want, baby
You know what I want
You know what I want, baby
You know what I want
The path to hell is paved with diamonds and pearls
But I'm so easy swayed in a rich man's world
He lifts the spell when the clock strikes twelve
But it's the choice I've made, and I'm a daddy's girl
He wraps me in the finest silks
I'm bathed in Cleopatra's milk
I'm laid beneath the softest sheets
And rich furs mute my heartbeat
I land upon his marble floors
I'm trapped between his velvet walls
The riches they are only rust
And the diamonds he gave me are only dust
The path to hell is paved with diamonds and pearls
But I'm so easy swayed in a rich man's world
He lifts the spell when the clock strikes twelve
But it's the choice I've made, and I'm a daddy's girl

Sunshine
03:33
|
|||
Another night at the bar, and I've been slowing a while
Another boy on guitar, got me rethinking my style
He says, I'll help you up a little way
If you save yourself now, baby
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
A long, long time
Another girl with a plan, she says wake up and realise
If you don't wanna be lead, you gotta open your eyes
She says, I'll help you up a little way
If you save yourself now, baby
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
A long, long time
You're never alone, completely alone
With people around you
But you gotta know, that they're just on loan
You gotta save yourself, well are you gonna save yourself now, baby?
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
I haven't seen the sunshine in a long, long time
A long, long time
A long, long time
A long, long time
A long, long time
