A year without sunlight
chafed my smile
Winter lights rained signs of hope
Frayed cities raised eyebrows
to the newborn sky
and I finally flew
and flew and flew
You collapsed.
My body shook in flailing paroxysm
as I felt my ribs being pulled from me
Jesus send her back
I'm losing blood
I loved you over and over until you collapsed
I cracked
Carol
held the flood on her back
collapsed.
And the man with two heads
gave me the tongue to say "I love you"
but I couldn't trade my life for one tongue
Jesus give him back
I've lost my limbs
Mister, I loved you over and over until you cracked
I collapsed.
Her head in the clouds her eyes on fire
hands on her head and she said
and the vultures nested in my head
and she said
You all look so damn dirty
Have I ever known you?
Have I ever known any of you?
She's dead. And she said...

Beautiful

So you've shown me all that's beautiful
Another figure figures out my role for me
Stood in line for so long
Ripped the decency from my head
Sucked humanity through my eyes
Not my beautiful
See the maumet idol eyes
love faces boundaries in eyes
Nothing lies behind those eyes
Not my beautiful
Conquest the mind at rest
no men in question
these walls of skin that keep me in
What's gonna free us to see
abuse in fantasy
Beautiful
in the song she sung
in the love we carried hand to hand
Rise inside, rise inside

Although the band lasted only a handful of years, the mark it left on both the music scene and the people who experienced their live performances was profound. ... more
