overcome by your
moving temple
overcome by this
holiest of altars
so pure
so rare
to witness such an earthly goddess
that i've lost my self control
beyond compelled to throw this dollar
down before your
holiest of altars
i'd sell
my soul
my self esteem
a dollar at a time
for one chance
one kiss
one taste of you my magdalena
i bear witness
to this place this prayer
so long forgotten
so pure so rare
to witness such an earthly goddess
that i'd sell
my soul
my self esteem
a dollar at a time
for one chance
one kiss
one taste of you my black madonna
i'd sell
my soul
my self esteem
a dollar at a time
for one taste
one taste
one taste of you
my magdalena
don't disturb
the beast
the temperamental goat
the snail
while he's feeding on the rose
stay frozen compromise
what i will
i am
bend around
the wind
silently blown
about again
i'm treading so soft
and lightly compromising
my will
i am
i am
i will
so no longer
will i lay down
play dead
play your doe
in the headlights
locked down and terrified
your deer in the headlights
shit down and horrified
when push
comes to pull
comes to shove
comes to step around
this self-destructive dance
that never would've ended
till i rose
i roared
aloud here
i will
i am
i am
i will
so no longer
will i lay down
play dead
play this
beat down gun shy
martyr pitiful
i rose i roared
i will
i am
you're such an inspiration
for the ways that i will
never ever choose to be
oh so many ways for me to show you
how your savior has abandoned you
fuck your god, your lord, your christ
he did this
took all you had
and left you this way
still you pray never stray
never taste of the fruit
never thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone
it's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
praise the one who left you
broken down and paralyzed
he did it all for you
oh so many ways for me to show you
how your dogma has abandoned you
pray to your christ to your god
never taste of the fruit
never stray never break
never choke on a lie
even though he's the one
who did this to you
never thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone
it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why
he did it all for you
metaphor for a missing moment
pull me into your perfect circle
one womb one shape one resolve
liberate this will to release us all
gotta cut away
clear away
snip away and sever this
umbilical residue
that's keeping me from killing you
and from pulling you down with me
i can almost hear you scream
one more medicated peaceful moment
give me one more medicated peaceful moment
i don't want to feel this overwhelming hostility
i don't want to feel this overwhelming hostility
gotta cut away
clear away
snip away and sever this
umbilical residue
gotta cut away
clear away
snip away and sever this
umbilical residue
that's keeping me from killing you
snip away and sever this
keeping me from killing you
delusional
i believed i could cure it all
for you dear
coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
make it right for you sleeping beauty
truly thought
i could magically heal you
far beyond a visible
sign of your awakening
failing miserably to rescue
sleeping beauty
drunk on ego
truly thought i could make it right if i
kissed you one more time to
help you face the nightmare but you're
far too poisoned for me
such a fool to think that i could
wake you from your slumber
that i could actually heal you
sleeping beauty
poisoned and hopeless
far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
far beyond a visible sign of you awakening and
hiding from some poisoned memory
humbled and helpless
learning to pray
praying for visions
to show me the way
show me the way to forgive you
allow me to let it go
allow me to be forgiven
show me the way to let go
show me the way to forgive you
allow me to let it go
allow me to be forgiven
show me the way to let go
illuminate me
illuminate me
i'm just praying for you to show me where i'm to begin
hoping to reconnect to you
hoping to reconnect to you
lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless unable to focus on
anything but your surrender
tuggin' a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
tuggin' a beat to the sight of you lying
so delighted with a new understanding
something about a little evil that makes that
unmistakable noise i was hearing
unmistakable sound i know so well
spent and sighing with that look in your eye
spent and sighing with a look on your face like
sweet revelation
sweet surrender
tuggin' a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
tuggin' a beat to the sight of you lying
so delighted with a new understanding
something about a little evil that makes that
unmistakable noise i was hearing
unmistakable sound i know so well
spent and sighing with that look in your eye
spent and sighing with a look on your face like
my reflection
wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
bathed in bre�a
guides me safely in
worlds i've never been to
heal me heal me
my dear bre�a
vulnerable
it's all right
heal me heal me
my dear bre�a
show me lonely and
show me openings to
lead me closer to you
my dear bre�a
been over
been over this before
been over
and over
been over this before
and over
been over this before
so over this
been over this
so over this
been over this
over this before
