Gardener of Eden 04:42
lyrics

I remember the taste of blood ran through my lips and turned the world red Fell from heaven up above Voiceless whispers entered my head From the brush I could feel your soft stare Serpentine wrapped around my hot skin Through the roses I followed your call Should’ve known this is how it would end You know I’m crazy You know I’m gone You knew that lovin’ me was nothin’ short of wrong I was your angel Now I’m your god Kneel before me and I will sing our love song Run away from the place we called home Cut our skin on the wild roses Dance away under the fading sun Freedom imposes Steal a kiss from her cherry lips Wrap a hand ‘round my darling’s hips Bite the apple and I insist you take my hand Gardener of eden Gardener of eden We’re doomed from the start Gardener of eden Gardener of eden I remember the soft decay Of our souls as we were cast away Wilted roses in our hair Sang me to sleep your voice was calm and fair Every day my wings grew weak Feathers torn I began to weep “What is this pain that I cannot bear?” She said my soul was in disrepair They know we’re crazy They know we’re gone They know that nothin’s stoppin’ us from hell now Now I’m your demon Your lovely black swan And I feel warm and safe and cared for In your arms Look away from the garden on fire Golden gates begin to fuse Always be my sweet wildflower We’ve got nothin’ to lose Broken wings fall from my back As the dirt begins to crack Hold my waist as we fall below the garden oh gardener of eden We fell from the heavens, the earth could not hold us Gardener of eden The embers below set our hearts aglow oh Gardener of eden

Lilith 04:15
lyrics

Her skin glowed green and blue The starry sky dimmed by fiery hues My white dress blew in midnight’s view Of the world reborn, begun anew Two thousand years and twenty more And she looked beautiful as ever before As she pushed me down into the warm Water deep below my clothes were torn Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m dyin’ Why won’t you set me free? I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind The petals softly floating into my eyes I felt your fingers slowly crawl up my spine We didn’t have to sink for you to be mine Her eyes were red as dawn As she held me down under the pond Fireworks filled the sky beyond I heard the cheers from above the lawn Soft hands brushed through my thighs You were evil everyone else had realized Thought I was different thought I’d save your soul Guess you can’t save what isn’t half of a whole Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m dyin’ Why won’t you set me free? I tried to scream but lilies clouded my mind The petals softly floating into my eyes I felt your hands as they wrapped around my neck When did our love become this shallow shipwreck? Two thousand years and twenty more and I thought I was weaker than I ever was before But the moonlight’s rays hit the water below and it was now or never to swim to the garden and oh, Did she push and pull tryin’ to get me to drown But the lilies in my mind began to run aground As I gripped and dragged myself along the dirt I turned back to face the girl I loved for all of my hurt Said “my dear this is it, I have got to go” And she faded in the deep and murky water below Lilith you siren How could you do this to me? Lilith I’m cryin’ My pain will stay with me Lilith you siren You were so cruel and so mean Lilith I’m tryin’ To love life now that I’m free

Paint the town red and paint me in blue shower me in lilac the color purple always suited you violets and lavender you'd promised those too I never noticed how you'd say you loved me with a twisted brow and hand me roses full of stinging thorns and watch me smile as my heart was torn I paint my lips red my heart bleeds blue I put your favorite record on will this music make your heart ring true? love and happy endings babe you'd promised those too I've always known deep down your hands of roses swept across the town but i i wanted to believe so bad that you were my woman oh you make me sad I always tried so hard to make you stay and wipe my tears away and beg for one more thorny rose bouquet I thought my bleeding hands would make you feel some way baby please share your fire with me i can be all things dark and rosy wear a crown made of thorns for you pick you violets and roses too i come alive only when you're near awe you with one thousand tender fears I can't make it out here on my own to me, your love is like a precious stone i dye my hair a deep ruby red i need your lips that seem on roses fed curly locks cover foolish brains caressed by your endless flames i'll soothe your burning fever thaw your frozen heart breathe you in my lungs babe, i've been here from the start I'll be your queen of delights your warmth on winter nights I wont go anywhere baby please just stay they all say i'm doomed if i stay with you but.. you're. the. air I breathe baby please Please don't leave

Red Herring 04:38
lyrics

Let me be your little red herring And baby tell me that you’ll be mine Run your hands through my long red hair and Tell me you’ll stay the night this time Let me be your little red herring And baby tell me that you’ll be mine I always felt like a great blue heron Trapped in the cage of a grand design But in my mind we’re two shores that will never meet Even though you hold me tightly under the sheets I’m scared to be happy ‘cause I only know sad She used to say I was the devil but I don’t want to be bad I think deep down I think I always knew I think I’ve always been a scared little girl with no one to hold on to I can be your little red herring Flying light and free I can be something for you Since I can’t be for me I can be your little red herring Guard my heart under strong wings Let you wash away my sorrows Watch them float gently downstream I was your little red herring Held your hand and whispered softly Read your mind and cherished you closely Told you I was gonna set you free I was your little red herring As you flew back to your little ladybird It made it all too clear I was never the one you held dear You never left my mind in Spain Now I’m cryin’ in the rain Cut my skin to escape the pain Painted pictures all in vain Cause you Never cared for me the way I did for you Its all so clear now I wish I’d noticed sooner I was just your little red herring While you yearned for your ladybird Called your name out, hopeless and in vain While you spent all your love on her I wish I could just stop caring Wish that you would leave my mind ‘Cause I know you were never staring Right at me but just behind

Ode to Evelyn 03:41
lyrics

I noticed you were the talk of the town When the sun went down last night Oh Evelyn I’d give you everything If you’d hold me in your arms ‘Real tight To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise The smoke, the glamour, the flash of the cameras They don’t mean shit to me Let’s get out of this town Baby, we’re on fire Don’t care if they see Hollywood’s too small For the both of us, you see I don’t care about the papers I just want us to be free Sick of kissin’ in the bathroom stalls And hidin’ love in parlor walls And watchin’ you go home with him When your real home’s here with me Evelyn I’ve held you dear Waited here for all these years Call my name out in the crowd Baby, set me free To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise The smoke, the glamour, the flash of the cameras They don’t mean shit to me Let’s get out of this town Baby, we’re on fire Don’t care if they see My dearest Evelyn How did we make such a mess of it all? And what does it mean That we haven’t spoken in a decade But I still hear your voice in my head every day? I blamed you for the things you did to keep our secrets But all of my happiest moments were orchestrated by you You hurt me You left me You destroyed me But I still love you The smoke, the glamour, the flash of the cameras They don’t mean shit to me Let’s get out of this town Baby, we’re on fire Don’t care if they see To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise To breathe my loss is more than fame To utter love’s more sweet than praise

Digital Snow 04:08

Paintin’ pictures of my love Did they get to you alright? I’ve been waitin’ 3 long weeks for my letters to arrive Wrapped my heart in brown paper packages Tied with silver string Didn’t know that you tossed em’ out When she came that late evening Watchin’ snow fall from my eyes You never cared What a surprise I told you I don’t like the cold You just laughed “Look at the sky It’s all in black and white to me” and that made me Just want to die Found myself on a beach in Spain Do you miss me all the same? Don’t know why I even asked Cause I know I’m just a game White and black like your poker chips Was your love with me a lie? Don’t know why I even wonder Cause the answer makes me cry Sent me pictures on your phone Never made me feel so alone I saw her footprints in the snow Do you think I’m fucking slow Babe I just really wanna know Her face just makes me want to die I’m trapped in this digital snow I’m so cold Don’t know where to go Heard you burned up all my letters Did it make her love you more? Did she make you feel all better After taking up my warmth? Don’t know why I even ask Cause the answer’s crystal clear I was fire she is ice And you don’t love what you fear Babe I’m better In this weather Tropical and birds of paradise So goodbye now Hope you’re happy In your world of snow and ice

Faustian Bargain 04:15
lyrics
buy track
It’s easier to paint you as a lover or a friend Than to say you were a stranger that I never truly met This metaphoric picture makes it easier to see That I’ll always love you deeper than you’ll ever feel for me It’s stupid truly stupid How I hate to love you so When all you did was live a lie And pull me down below I rest my head in metal, voices screaming what I can’t yet say to you I cry out loud and everyone hears words I say are only meant for you What’s it like to sit alone love nobody but yourself? Why do I still follow you let you keep me on this shelf? I miss the blue of your canoe You used to parade ‘round While singing me to a golden slumber Paddling to ground What happened to the girl I knew Who wore her hair in curls? What Faustian bargain did you give into for your pearls? It’s stupid truly stupid How I hate to love you so You never even said goodbye How could I ever know? You’re cold as ice You’re never nice Why do I still come back? I think I hoped That I could rope You back in line with me I rest my head in metal, voices screaming what I can’t yet say to you I cry out loud and everyone hears words I say are only meant for you What’s it like to sit alone love nobody but yourself? Why do I still follow you let you keep me on this shelf? Canoes to yachts Hid away your locks Where’d the girl I knew Take off to Switched your bicycles for convertibles Left me gasping in your dust All you can behold Are the fields of gold That you signed your soul away to When did you decide That it hurt your pride To say the words “I love you”? You’re withering away Withdrawing day by day Your heartbeats I once fell asleep to Never even play Oh was it worth it? Trading all your mortal goods my love? When did you change your mind and find that I was not enough? I rest my head in metal, voices screaming what I can’t yet say to you I cry out loud and everyone hears words I say are only meant for you What’s it like to sit alone Withering away? Why do I still follow you Why do I still need to stay?

Your Rarest of Flowers 03:48

Wifebeater Maneater Stole my heart Should’ve feared the reaper Hair slicked back White Cadillac Fooled them all For your heart is a pure black Wish that you’d come back to get your Leather jacket but this weather Shines too bright for both you and me White sunshine burns your raven wings Shadows dance in the air where the reapers sleep Cross my heart hope I don’t die this evening Diamond fires in your eyes searching endlessly For your rarest of flowers or so you called me Young woman share Young woman share your fire with me All hope is lost All hope is lost in our memories White leather Gloves hold heather Watching’ you race past I drop the leaves Let them sail away in the autumn breeze Waitin’ by the bridge to put my soul at ease Wish that you would love me gently But you’re poisoned with sin aplenty Spread your wings with the new moon’s rise Pulled me close, evil in your eye Shadows dance in the air where the reapers sleep Crossed my heart hoped I die here this evening Diamond fires in your eyes searching endlessly For your rarest of flowers or so you called me Young woman share Young woman share your fire with me All hope is lost All hope is lost in our memories
