"Heaven"

"Heaven"


It's all right, we're in heaven.
This is heaven, we're in heaven.
Our body's broken.
The earth is moving.
Our bodies breathing.
Our blood is moving.
It's all right, we're in heaven.
It's all right, we're in heaven.

"Helpless Child"

"Helpless Child"


Now you be the mother, and
I'll be your fool,
I'll hide myself deep inside,
your crimson pool.

The muddy water runs,
beneath your folds,
you won't let me breathe,
you won't let me go.

Now you be the stranger, and
I'll be the white-skinned son,
you'll blacken my innocence,
with sugar and opium...

The children were suffocating,
down in your damp cave,
and you were the mother,and
I was the sleeping slave.

Protect me from violence,
hold me in your cool lips,
you drug me with kindness,
so I can pretend I exist.

Now you be the only child,
I'll suck on your breast,
you'll feed me with gasoline,
I'll burn my name in your head.

"Her"

"Her"


I'll walk with you
Through space and time
And when sleep is near
I will fold you in

I'll disappear with you
In clear blue flames
And when our time arrives
We will slide through space

"Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey"

"Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey"


Thing is er
We're at a stage now
Last night just before bedtime I wanted to wake you up.
I thought I heard the hi-fi going, the stereo.
And I opened the, living room door and she was pressed down on the, Davenport, with er,
some kind of her, favorite music going, and had, er, incense burning, and er the lights out, lying in the dark.
I guess she was mooning over that boyfriend.

"How They Suffer"

"How They Suffer"


It's not as much a deterioration fact it's the disease I have which er, uh, the- the right eye is blind as you know.
And that was done, er, unfortunately as- as a result of a detached retina.
And the retina they could never splice together.
They tried to seal it together and couldn't, and told me I'd lose my eyesight at that y'know, o- o- o- short or long term I would lose it.
And unfortunately... er the... retinal er ah er a retinal det- detachment started in my left eye, my good eye, which I still have today.
And it was the result of glaucoma... and... a retinal... not detachment but a retinal... er, er,
I don't know what the hell they call it, it's er... that does it.
Today er zer zer I am what they call legally, because of this retinal problem and er glaucoma, er, I- I'm what they call... erm... legally blind.

Today I do not have a fever, I feel about the same as I... did yesterday.
I- I'm trying to eat a little better, so I can get stronger.
(You exercising?)
I'm exercising by just walking around the, around the house.
Went out in the yard just Wednesday.
(You have a headache?)
No, I don't think I have a headache.
(A little dizzy, today?)
Maybe slightly dizzy.
(You feel weaker? Or stronger than you did yesterday?)
Just o- just overnight I don't seem to be much different over one, over one night yesterday to today.
Takes a little bit longer than that.
(Any aches and pains anywhere? Or on when you fell? Or when you fell on your heater, having your exercise?)
Well, that's the, that's sore, about where I fell on the heater.
(Where?)
Here, well I guess here.
(Where is that?)
I dunno what you call that.
(Ain't it hurt when you breathe)
[Cough, cough] It hurts a little bit when I breathe in a little deeply.
(D'you sleep at all?)
Well if you're asleep you can't tell whether you're asleep.

"Hypogirl"

"Hypogirl"


Can I steal your mind?
And can I crawl down inside?
And when I am your child
Can I feed in your eye?
And can I drink the air
Down in your cold black lung?
And can I breath the sweet
Sick and lonesome blood?
Love is everywhere
No we will never escape
I love you more than my life
No, we will never escape

Can I cut out the core
And steal the food in your head
And curl my body inside
Down where it's dark and it's wet?
I love you more than your life
I love your body and mind
I love you more than your life
No, we will never escape

"I Am The Sun"

"I Am The Sun"


And I am the sun
I rise above the world
And when the light goes out
I kill another child
And I am insane
I crawl into your mouth
I grow like a flower
I grow a suicide
And I am the sun (I love everyone)
And I am the light (I love everyone)
And I am the sun (I love everyone)
Yeah I am the light (I love everyone)

And I am the dog
I cut out my eyes
Yeah I will nullify
My true love creation
And I am the sun
I love everyone
I live inside your chest
I grow like a cancer
And I am the sun (I love everyone)
Yeah I am the light (I love everyone)
Yeah I am the sun (I love everyone)
Yeah I am the light (I love everyone)

I love everyone
I love everyone
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone (I love everyone)
I love everyone
(I love everyone, I love everyone, I love everyone, I love everyone, I love everyone, I love everyone)

"I Crawled"

"I Crawled"


You're my father
I obey you
I want you to be my father
I want you to be my father
You know what I am
You know what I am
I want you to kill me
I'm weak

Take what's mine
Make me feel good
Make me feel soft
Come into my room
Put your hands on my throat
Now choke me
We'll die

Make me nothing
Make me nothing
Be my father
Be my father
Think for me
Make it right
Think for me
Make it right

Put your hands on my throat
Choke me
We'll ride

"I Remember Who You Are"

"I Remember Who You Are"


When other people say you're someone to misuse
Shut in behind your young girl's face
And helpless in your bed of thorns
I'll remember who you are
Yes, I'll remember who you are
I'll remember who you are
A young girl, unchained

Come back here now
I know you're somewhere still alive
Strong behind your young girl's tears
I know you're somewhere, unchanged

Oh, I remember who you are
Yes, I remember who you are
I remember who you are
A young girl, unchained

There stands a young girl, naked
In her innocence unused
And she holds me in her small hand
And she smiles down on me

I am innocent in her dark eyes
I will lose my heart in the sand
You're cruel, but you're good for me
And you hold me in your young girl's hand

I remember who you are
Yes, I remember who you are
I remember who you are
A young girl, unchained

"I Want To Be Your Dog"

"I Want To Be Your Dog"


So messed up, I want you here
In my room, I want you here
Now we're gonna be face to face
And I lay right down in my favorite place
And now I want to be your dog
And now I want to be your dog
And now I want to be your dog
Well, come on
And now I'm ready to close my eyes
And now I'm ready to close my mind
And now I'm ready to feel your hand
And lose my heart on the burning sand
And now I want to be your dog
And now I'm gonna be your dog
And now I want to be your dog
Well, come on
