Wander Wonder
00:52
|

I wander long and long wonder,
why some birds walk and some hop
and some genetically flop,
I wonder long and long wander.
I wander long and long wonder,
why turtles crawl and cats creep
while frogs practice frog- leap
I wonder long and long wander.
I wander long and long wonder
why I wander and wonder walk
and to myself nonsense talk
I wonder long and long wander.

Lullaby
04:05
|

Close your eyes
And let the darkness fold around you
Drift away
May all your sweetest dreams surround you
Let nothing alarm you
You've nothing to fear
No one's going to harm you
As long as I’m near
As long as I'm here
Warm tired tears
Distort the shadows on the wall
Moonlight beasts
Succumb to sleep and drown them all
Let nothing alarm you
You've nothing to fear
No one's going to harm you
As long as I’m near
As long as I'm here
Stars may slice the darkness falling
Owls may break the silence calling
Pay no heed
Your dreams are yours and yours alone
Safe and warm
A magic world that's all your own
Let nothing alarm you
You've nothing to fear
No one's going to harm you
As long as I’m near
As long as I'm here
I’ll always be here
I’ll always stay here by your side

Teeth
03:22
|
|||
I promised him I wouldn't bite
But he'll not let me from his sight
It's getting sore, this twisted jaw
And it just seems I can't let go, but oh,
He's losing blood at such a rate
He said, "oh you jezebel, come into my world
Demanding everything from me"
He said, "with those fevered teeth, and their lethal technique
You'll never ever be set free"
I've kit my wardrobe all in black
And when he goes I know I'll never want him back
So soft and sweet, for wayward teeth,
And I just close my eyes when they ask me
What plagued you into such a state?
He said, "oh you jezebel, come into my world
Demanding everything from me"
He said, "with those fevered teeth, and their lethal technique
You'll never ever be set free"
Curl me back, spring by spring, put me into the cage again
Heart attack, wear me thin, come and let my demons in
Curl me back, spring by spring, put me into the cage again
Heart attack, wear me thin, come and let my demons in
When I smile, he skips a beat
Cos he sees nothing but my sharp white teeth
I've bled him dry
I don't know why he lets me take his life in my hands
And lead him to eternal sleep
He said, "oh you jezebel, come into my world
Demanding everything from me"
He said, "with those fevered teeth, and their lethal technique
You'll never ever be set free"
He said, "oh you jezebel, come into my world
Demanding everything from me"
He said, "with those fevered teeth, and their lethal technique
You'll never ever be set free"

Eurydice
03:09
|
|||
I can see your body shaking
Lie beside you, watch the hell inside you
I can see the way you're aching
The kind of hurt that tries to tear a heart in two
I can see your demons preying
I can see the way they move inside you
But it won't shake me, yeah I'm staying
We'll lie in the dark together if I can't bring the light to you
And if you go, if you leave me
Then I'll go where you lead me
If you go, Eurydice
I won't look back, I won't look back
'Til you're home
I can see the pain you're facing
Like a mirror shining back upon me
But if you have to burn then I'll be waiting
With your body in my arms until you feel some relief
And if you go, if you leave me
Then I'll go where you lead me
If you go, Eurydice
I won't look back, I won't look back
If you go, then you'll lead me
Because I know that you need me
If you go, Eurydice
I won't look back, I won't look back
'Til you're home
Oh, 'til you're home

If You Just
03:49
|
|||
When I take in the air, you surface again
And when I breathe out, I breathe out your name
Each flavour I taste, your body I take
Each person I reach, just through seeking your face
You shine down on me then you take it away again
You shine down on me then you leave me in the rain
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
When I talk in my head, it's you I address
But thoughts spoken out are thoughts I regret
Each corner I turn, your shadow I see
Every moment I live, bitter poetry
You shine down on me then you take it away again
You shine down on me then you leave me in the rain
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?
Is it love if your words remain unsaid?
Is it love if you just want to forget?
Is it love if you just wish you were dead?

How to Become a Queen
04:37
|
|||
I was told that I need to be good
As he chased me into the woods
But it's a cruel, cruel world for the meek
Even in fairytales
I was told that I'd get my reward
I'm too pretty to fight my own cause
But a voice inside me said,
Don't listen to what they say
So I harnessed all my charms
And prepared my box of hearts
I'll find the ones who did me harm
And they'll say
Regina
Regina
Take what you need to, I'll die just to please you
Regina
I was told that I'd only survive
If I learned how to flutter my eyes
But if you're looking up, you'll only see the predators
At first it was just a disguise
A mask just to keep me alive
But very soon I liked the darkness that I saw
So here's the bedtime story
If the princess isn't destroyed
She turns into a fearsome queen
And they'll say
Regina
Regina
Take what you need to, I'll die just to please you
Regina
I cut on through so easily
You'll never know how much I bleed
Just like a cat fall on my feet
And like a snake know how to cheat
So take your bow and you'll receive
Regina
Regina
Take what you need to, I'll die just to please you
Regina

Heroine
04:28
|
|||
Find the light, put it out
Wrong or right, don't matter now
Are you looking for a heroine
Or are you looking for a reason to fall?
Bring the stars to the gutter
Bring revenge to its mother
Are you looking for a heroine
Or is it me you might be looking for?
Oh, it's what you wanted
Oh, it's what you wanted
Don't matter if the sun don't rise
I've nothing left to compromise
I wouldn't even recognise redemption
I've nothing left to keep disguised
Don't matter if it horrifies
I wonder that you seem surprised to see me again
Turning pain into power
All you gain is to get harder
Are you looking for a heroine
I don't believe that's what you're looking for
Turning time, finding balance
Between fire and innocence
If you're looking for a heroine
You should be looking in another world
Oh, it's what you wanted
Oh, it's what you wanted
Don't matter if the sun don't rise
I've nothing left to compromise
I wouldn't even recognise redemption
I've nothing left to keep disguised
Don't matter if it horrifies
I wonder that you seem surprised to see me again
It's what you wanted
It's everything you're looking for
It's how you hunted
You gave the cry, I took the fall
But tell me, does it matter now
That nothing's worth it anymore
And are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Don't matter if the sun don't rise
I've nothing left to compromise
I wouldn't even recognise redemption
I've nothing left to keep disguised
Don't matter if it horrifies
I wonder that you seem surprised to see me again

Wednesday's Child
03:26
|
|||
Dark imaginings are the product of a sick, sick mind
My heart, it's carrying every carcass that you'd leave behind
Fickle mistress, home of the weak's desires
In the silence, longing to satisfy
Slyly beckoning, and the sinners always drop on by
I was born to a rebel moon in a hurricane
Little boy blue gonna know my name
Tell me something true, tell me something plain
Say it all again
And when the horror's so enchanting
It's where the devil finds his darlings
And here I wait to celebrate
The sorrow and the scarring
For all that's beautiful, there's a sinister reality
The sharpest rock, for every captivating melody
Deep inside the cave where the creatures glow
Tell me, as above, is it so below?
Give me your love, and I'll remain a mystery
Do you feel bad when you wonder about
How the seven wonders of the world came about?
Do you sleep at night, do you choose to doubt?
Do you block it out?
And when the horror's so enchanting
It's where the devil finds his darlings
And all the rest are fair of face, and full of grace,
And good and gay, and pure and chaste,
Yet here I wait to celebrate
The sorrow and the scarring

Soliloquy
04:33
|
|||
Behold a mountain of treasure and covet my throne
But there will never be pleasure in hearts made of stone
This kingdom looked so divine from the road
But from the moment I made it my own
All of the gold you can measure, to disown
When you have won all your battles, well what now is there to do
When everything that once mattered, no more of value to you
Destroyed everything only to learn
That just to love and be loved in return
That is the answer but you will never know
The words I say, soliloquy
My echo weighs like gravity
Destroyed everything only to learn
That just to love and be loved in return
That is the answer, but I will never know
From a distance this nothing looked so beautiful
Oh, I would have done any, anything at all
And now this stage that I'm calling my home
So majestic but I'm so alone
Love is the answer but I will never know
The words I say, soliloquy
My echo weighs like gravity
Destroyed everything only to learn
That just to love and be loved in return
That is the answer, but I will never know
