Don't Let Me Go
A different city, a different world
You a different boy and I was still a girl
So much we didn't know of how our lives would go
But still we knew the truth of who we were
You said you loved me, in your way
Pulling closer, pushing away
Right then if I could I'd have stayed there always
And you said:
Hold on – I know
I'll try to let you go but
Please don't let me go
And I promised you
Changing time and changing circumstance
So many bright lights fade into the distance
That's how it goes and everybody knows it
We don't like it but it's not like we chose it
The little slights help in letting go
Build the walls up, and let the silence grow
It's ok it's all part of the process
Except I can't forget that you said
Hold on - I know
I'll try to let you go but
Blease don't let me go
You said – hold on to me
I know
I'll try to let you go but
Please don't let me go
and I promised you
I promised you
I promised you
I reach out you don't return my call
Don't know what you remember, wanna forget it all
Instead I'm crying lying on the floor
I'm so tired I'm so sick and bored of it.
A different city, a different world
A woman trapped in the words of the girl I was
Still clutching, clinging too tight
To the promise of a long-ago night, saying
Hold on – I know
I'll try to let you go but
Please don't let me go
And I said:
I'll hold on to you – I know
you'll try to let me go but
Please don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
'Cause I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

Tangled
We dreamed the same dream as it shifted into nightmare
Mermaids underwater, tangling our long hair
Struggles in the deep, hidden undercurrents
Shipwrecking swells came crashing to the surface
Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, this crazy thing that binds us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness
I will always swim for a song with a familiar rhythm
Shaking every limb for that heartbeat dance
To find a partnering - a speaker of the same old language
How you drew me in - how could I ever disengage you?
Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, nothing could unwind us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness to me
And I awaken
And how I miss you, and our breathless existence
Now I have paid you the cost of my resistance
Banished from our dreamlife, cast upon the current
I fill with light and air - I come crashing to the surface
Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, where they’ll never find us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness to me
And I awaken

Lady Stockholm
The toughest trap
Is one that’s made with given things
Littered with bits of broken wings
A place of longing
And in the dark
Any bright thing casts a spark
Any fire could be a hearth
That spells belonging
And I learned to belong here
You get along
Get used to feeling kind of wrong
Get used to feeling really strong
Just for surviving
And in a while,
All the lies become a style
And when it starts to feel worthwhile
Then you’re arriving
At the point of lost returns
You took my bones, and we built a home
How can I tear these walls away?
I gave my all, and as I watch you fall
It takes everything I have to walk away,
(Lady Stockholm),
From you
I clutch the key
Move from the place where you held me
And wonder why, now I am free
I break from grieving
Cause I’ve been had
Thrown so much good love after bad
So much belief after your madness
I’m still believing
That I belong here
You took my bones, and we built a home
How can I tear these walls away?
I gave my all, and as I watch you fall
It takes everything I have to walk away,
(Lady Stockholm),
Give up everything I had and walk away…
From you

You And Me And The Elephant
There’s no room left in this room we share
There’s no light and there’s no air
There’s just gray and wrinkly skin
There’s a word we dare not speak
Shakes the walls - the floors creak
Underneath the weight of this mess we’re in
It’s been here so long - I don’t even know where we went wrong
It’s eaten all the food, drank all the beer - now we can’t get out of here
It’s gotten much too strong
But I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
There’s not much left not underfoot
It’s got so I don’t know where to look anymore
I keep my eyes to the ground
Once in a while you start to stretch out
Open your arms, take a deep breath but
Then you hear the trumpet sound
I’m just joking dear
there’s nothing worth mentioning standing over here
And no-one’s going anywhere
We’ve all made ourselves so comfortable!
I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
No calls - we don’t answer the phone
But it feels great to be here alone
With just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
… I can feel the floors crack beneath me …
I’m glad that we have this time
To spend together where everything’s fine
It’s just you and me
And the elephant, elephant, elephant
No calls - it might answer the phone
But it feels great to be here alone
With just you and me
And the elephant

Your Monster

Your Monster
Before I came here I was someone just like you
A blessed stranger to the change you put me through
But then you held that twisted mirror to my eyes
And turned them to a face I did not recognize
I’m transformed in here
The holding ground for all your fear
And as myself, I disappear, into what you see
I begin to be your monster
Your monster
There is a darkness at the edges of your mind
It cries out to be seen but you’ll always be blind
In darkened corners where your sun will never shine
It cries out to be named and now that name is mine
In your web of dreams
Where everything becomes just what it seems
And all your secrets bursting at the seams - you need me
I’ll step in to be
Your monster
all you disavow
is come back to you now
all of you you cannot know
in me, let your horror show
I’m transformed in here
The holding ground for all your fear
And now it’s done - I have become what you see
Say hello to me:
Your monster

Werepyre
In my last life, I was a werepyre
I’m still in love with the brittle taste of fear
When you wake up from a deep sleep
You jump a few inches up in the air, oh
It’s criminal, the things I’d like to do to you
What duty tells me to, oh
Subliminal, you flinch when I get close to you
You know you do
When I draw near, on the dance floor
Nothing to fear - it’s nothing you haven’t tangled with before
Night-time takes you back there
Jump a few inches up in the air, oh
It’s criminal the things I’d like to do to you
What nature tells me to, oh
Subliminal, you flinch when I get close to you
You know you do
Oh, oh, are the stories true?
One way of finding out, ‘cause I’m not telling you

Heatbreak
I Lay beside you
In the cold light
I like you
So friendly, so kind
So perfectly designed
When I'm inside you
Nothing catches
I slip away so easy
Despite my best attempts
You can't hold me
Your walls of glass reflect my eyes
Transparency: the best of all disguises
You offer up what I most prize
And I reach right through you
When's it gonna take?
I've been waiting so long for these walls to shake
When's it gonna take?
I've been waiting so long for this heat to break
You have no secrets
So you tell me
I know that you are lying
I feel it when I'm lost and I am driving
Through the streets you don't feed
Til they're poisoned with need
Kept out of sight
The barriers watertight
Face to face, skin to skin
Gliding past, unchanged, unchanging
No way through and no way in
No catch to catch me

Four Winds Red Shoes
Still my hands, they won't stop
shaking, reaching out
Further than the flesh will go
Catch my breath it can't catch up with me
I'm too far beyond it
I'm running with the hurricane that I contain
these winds that blow
Over hill over dale over forest in flight
Under sun under moon in the dark and the light
Through the pulse through the skin to the edge of the knife
Through the hours and the days all the time of my life
I am four winds and two
Burning up in these red shoes
Dancing til my feet turn blue
Trapped in these red shoes for you
Stretch my skin it can't keep in
the forces beating beneath it
I cannot rest - I cannot sleep
A creature with wings I am a
herald of stranger things
I am transforming - taking to flight
Like seven sisters, up into the night
Bearing a light
Through the halls through the town down the glittering streets
Through the walls through the keys down the wires beneath
On the stage on the page there's nowhere left to hide
I'm dancing dancing dancing
I am four winds and two
Burning up in these red shoes
Torn apart and pushing through
Trapped in these red shoes for you
I am for you in these red shoes
I am for you

Crawl Inside
I would share with you
All the things I've done
I would give to you
The person I've become
I would offer you
All that could have been
And I would be with you
Like I should been then
But you're not with me now
I would spend with you
All this endless time
I'd make room for you
Where I feel so empty now
I would say to you
All the things I left unsaid
And I would be with you
Like I should have been then
But you're not with me now
We crawled inside the vents together
I'd crawl inside of you forever
But you're not with me now

Watertight
Beneath the skin mechanical a little beast is stirring
Scratching at the metal walls
Scratching with organic claws
Underneath the shining shield all the gears are whirring
Spasms and uncertain jerks
Something's gotten in the works
I went out in perfect mask but now the cracks are showing
I am safe here
All my friends are near - watching
And everybody knows, and everyone can see
What's tearing away at me
I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong and I can't be polite
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight
You were my love, my lover, so close
Born into the bone
And we could walk the world together, darling,
and it felt like being alone
Somewhere deep inside of me all I know is changing
Handprints and traces
In these quiet spaces
Underneath the skin, shifting, rearranging
You are inside me
I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong and I can't be polite
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight
I can't be good and I can't be right
Can't be strong, no, not tonight
But you found me watertight
You found me watertight
I'll let you go
I'll do what's right
I haven't believed it 'til tonight
