Faith, Torn Apart

The young offender at prayer
s
You look good in despair
s
Artemis of the job
s
I won’t stop when you stop
s

Faith, torn apart
s
Torn apart
s
Torn apart
s

Oh, no one
s
Oh, no one
s
No, no one
s
Yes, no one
s

“Oh brother sleep, oh sister finality
s
Your simple curtain, opening, ever opening
s
Mournfully appealing
s
What do you want me to do?”
s
“I want you to kill me
s
Crushed to death
s
I’m crushed to death”
s

Faith, turn it out
s
Like a hole
s
Turn it out

Oh, no one
s
No, no one
s
Oh, no one
s
Yes, no one
s

My room is a mess
s
My hair is black and blue
s
My new phone is pink
s
My dress is a fishnet dress
s
My face looks soft
s
My eye shadow is like Cleopatra
s
My contacts are bright green
s
My braces are real
s
My pose is for you
s
My freckles are for you
s
My shirt has no buttons
s
My finger is in my mouth
s
My hijab is polka dot
s
My head is resting on my wrist
s
My gaze is never going to settle
s
My beauty mark is from a pen
s
My wig fell off onto the pillow
s
My smirk is a shadow
s
My glasses have purple frames
s
My village is 6,600 miles away
s
My arms are chubby
s
My nose smells horrible smells
s
My kiss comes from a scream
s
My heart is going to crack in half
s
My gold tooth is knocked out
s
My baseball cap hides the truth
s
My name is romantic
s
My thoughts are pretenders
s
My bra strap is a new feeling
s
My jaw is uneven and unsure
s
My posture is by demand
s
My skirt is thrown up over my head
s
My curls are fading fast
s
My ambition is still
s
It is still to be a star
s
My pajamas don’t fit very well
s
My knees hurt
s
My little shirt matches my little shorts
s
My skin feels like a breaking vase
s
My appearance will stress you out
s
My bikini looks dumb
s
My shower is the least refreshing thing about it
s
My only recourse is there is no recourse
s
My bindi has been rubbed to the side
s
My frown is for always
s
My family will never see me again
s
My goofy jokes hide my goofy damnation
s
My giggles excuse what just happened
s
My tears and my drool are all the same
s
My fear is for one and all
s
My dead-end childhood is just beginning
s
My makeup is like a rose
s
My motto is sham pain for my real friends
s
My age is on a card and cannot be disputed
s
My nails will be broken
s
My pelvis will be broken
s
My feather boa feels like the butcher shop
s
My favorite band is “I don’t know”
s
My complexion is flawless for hours
s
My awareness is the same as fainting
s
My party is private
s
My day has been endless
s
My night cannot possibly go on
s
It doesn’t matter what you think
s
Do anything you like
s
Because I was born dead
s
And I was born to die
s

Petite

Petite
e
Purposeful like a pillbox
e
Nothing is wrong
e
For nothing does matter
e

Spelling trouble in the clouds
e
And making trouble in clouds
e
This isn’t something your heart needs to know
e
A world of trouble falling down as snow
e

You feel worry and you should
e
You feel forced because you are
e
Where did your love for living go?
e
Recited off of your headstone
e

It was not my wish to be a slave
e
What God wants She does
e
Empress of Blood and
e
Murderess of Fools
e
What God wants She does
e

Sweet Petite
e
Resolute as a rainbow
e
What it was and why it won’t be
e

Spelling trouble in the clouds
e
And making trouble in clouds
e
This isn’t something your heart needs to know
e
A world of trouble coming down as snow
e

You feel senseless and you should
e
You feel pointless for you are
e
Where did your hate of this life go?
e
Rubbed it off from your headstone
e

It was, oh, not my aim to be a slave
e
What God wants She does
e
Duchess of Blood and
e
Murderess of Fools
e
What God wants She does
e

At Last, at Last

Go away, go far away
s
Don’t ever talk to me
s
Oh, run away
s
Heaven’s call will never be for thee

Oh, sorry you had to see it
s
Born dead
s
It has to be this way
s
Born dead
s
Night is coming
s
Sorry it could be this way

At last, at last

It’s come undone

Oh angel, afraid to feel it
s
(To want it)
s
Fear not, the day is done
s

To look at her
s
You are ashamed
s
Now look up to the sky
s
Oh, to be free
s
To be alone
s
To be alone all the time
s

Oh, sorry you had to see it

Born dead

It has to be this way

Born dead

Night is coming

Sorry it could be this way

Get Up

A piano fell on my face
d
You told me to get up
d
When I could not control myself
d
You said to get up
d
Consciousness demolished
d
When I tried to hold the pain inside
d
You say to hold it in
d

Love me forever
d
Don’t forget me
d
It’s late in the game to ask
d
But I’m still asking
d

A harmonica fell on my face
d
It did not hurt that much
d
If you leave no one will find my corpse
d
You said
d
Rise from the dead!
d
Sometimes a person cannot help what they do
d
You mumble to get up
d
Operating now without belief
d
You say sh sh sh
d
And to get up
d

Do you hate me
d
Because I seem so stupid?
d
Or do you just very quickly
d
Hate me right back?
d

During the rape of everything decent
d
The flickering flames impressed me
d
A saxophone fell on my face
d
How is a mystery
d
When I am shocked
d
By my own foolishness
d
You say you are not as shocked
d
When I repeat that I am shocked by my own foolishness
d
You get up and leave the room
d

Love me forever
d
Don’t forget me
d
It’s late in the game to ask
d
But I’m still asking you
d

You’re the only reason I was born
d
You’re the only reason I was born

Wondering

Tonite is anything
d
Goodbye to anything
d
Outside of anything
d
Collide with everything

Ring a dong ding ding

Down on your knees

Ring a ding ding ding

Swallow defeat

Ring-a ding-a ding

Ding ding dong ding

Wondering, maybe?

Wondering
d

There’s not a chance, there’s never been
d
Destroyed by color on the wind
d
It is so clear it is so clean
d
And unforgivably obscene
d

Alive is anything
d
Alight to anything
d
Denied of anything
d
Surprised with everything
d

Oh, love was stronger then
d
Life went on without an end
d
Now to feel the sun
d
Burn our rights and wrongs
d
The shock of ash upon hope and peace
d

There’s not a dance that’s never been
d
Jealous of envy on the wind
d
It is plain, it is so pure
d
And unforgivably obscure
d

Wondering, maybe?

Wondering, maybe?
