1. Atropine
Atropine
Bathroom mirror laughs so hard
Scribbled lipstick shouting truth
Years of whatever, decaying youth
And I'm sorry but I think
I cannot love you
At least not tonight
No I think I cannot love you
I think I'd rather fight
Rusty eyes and sleepy heart
What comes together comes apart
But all she ever stole
The myth of love to make her whole
Grasping for air in
a room full of cyanide
It's only a matter of time
Before it all comes
Crashing down
Hoping for, for a miracle
And I waited here to watch you
Watch you brace yourself
For when it all comes crashing
Another story
You could have been a heroine
It could have been a fairytale
You could have
flaunted rosy cheeks
Instead of fading into pale
And you think that
they might cry
But you, you will be careless
You'll be an angel
Busy learning how to fly
Never sleep and never rest
Not with those
cramps inside your chest
Never without nightly sin
Atropine, your heroine
2. Revolution Without Arms
Revolution Without Arms
John Doe, the answer to my prayers
Won't you come alive in
the picture that I painted
Moon and stars won't
you come to my rescue
Let me enslave you, owning
you will make me whole
Green leaves won't you
gather around me
Keep me company
and I'll never beg again
Choose your revolution...
Without arms
We've got a war to fight
Can't you see?
My knight trapped
in shining armor
Take me far away,
I know that you are real.
3. Coming Home
Coming Home
You couldn't find me anywhere
Out at sea, deep under
raging waves I swayed
Captured in the arms of Poseidon
I lost consciousness, once again
Their voices laugh in ridicule
Did you believe that you could survive?
You know your sun burns way too fast
And you are nothing without our wrath
All my executioners wearing masks
As I crawl in dirt to find
The answer to a question never asked
Is something true to me
All familiar faces just like I recall
Feels so good coming home
Reach out your hand,
wait for me there by the shore
Unlock your door I'm coming home
From the corals she emerged
And she ripped away my chains
But I never got to see her face
From the oceans come what may
She brought out the light of day
But I never got to see her face
When the sky puked out
it's spears I opened my arms
Cut in half I reached for your shadow
While picking up the pieces
I opened my eyes
And I see that you're aiming for me
4. Inflict
Inflict
All of my nightmares you
leave me sleeping
Weighing my eyes down,
everything's fading
In the gutter of my mind
I found my hero
See I actually believed
in such a thing as a hero
And I crawled on my knees
just to please you
I'm just like all the rest, the second best
The one who takes what she can get
From where you're standing
I never suffer
Made of concrete I am breathless
You must've confused
me with someone else
Someone who settles for
being someone's whore
Someone more like yourself
And all the nightmares that I have
You own my awakening
But you leave me sleeping on
Enjoying the thrill of my scream
5. Without Stains
Without Stains
Somehow in it for the chase
so I run away
I run like hell, don't think
for a second that I wasn't prepared
Strange you never did do ask
why I always wore my winter coat
For times like these when
I'm forced out running in the snow
All I asked for was the naked truth
Was too much for you to handle
Was too much for me to ask
Every time that you fake a smile
Play the martyr in the play
Of the story about you and I
Some days everything is
red like roses without thorns
Loves me loves me not,
soft petals slowly hit the floor
Are we supposed to spit it out
until there's nothing left to break
It's over now this is the end
and you better understand
Are we supposed to spit it out?
Until there's nothing left to break
Send a message that is loud and clear
A message that's so simple
That even you can hear
They say it took you two whole days
To find happiness again on the lips
of another man
6. Katharsis
Katharsis
You smothered my beliefs to the point
of nearly killing me
When you gave me a name
to carry with shame
Show me mother, I've reached
the point where I'm supposed to say
Teach me again father,
yet for some reason I am still waiting!
Cast away now. Cut the moorings
I've lived through the resurrection
and can somehow say
I'm on my way now, any day now
Urged by my Katharsis
In my world there's no bitterness
I'm touched in more than one way,
so natural, so beautiful!!!
In my past world it was you who...
You who triggered me...
We need a burst of chaos
to become clean and purified
Neurotic cleansing disorder cease to be
Venting emotions, my demons are alive
Spiritual renewal, come come Katharsis
7. 24 Pills
24 Pills
If I was brave I'd shut my mouth
Put an end to our fights
I'd jump into a neon light
Taste the concrete and break my bones
I could be born again
As one of your lucky strikes
If I wouldn't fuck up my
mind from time to time...
Constantly, I would drive myself insane
I was always the December girl
I never noticed them at all
I slept through the summer
And was drunk through the fall
I am beautiful in the dark
Everyone can be beautiful
in the spotlight
From far below
All the praise falls to the floor
I stand empty handed
waiting for a little more
I pop 24 pills a day, 8 with every meal
Just to make it to the next place
8. Wrath
Wraith
He held me so tight as if to protect me
From what? Maybe from himself
I signed the contract that
offers me protection
If I follow all the rules
See those wounds and bruises
don't really prove much
Some girls like it rough
Some mean yes when they say no
How is a man supposed to know?
You came just as you saw Marilyn
As if I wasn't there at all
As if I was only a dream
And you are my little angel but
your wings are without use
Cause you picked out all the feathers
To draw a little blood just to make sure
That you can bleed like if you where alive
A train from heaven where
we are the only passengers
Without their eyes shooting
out lightning of dirt
That penetrates our skin
And heads straight for our hearts
You are my little angel
High upon my pedestal
Yea, you are my little angel
God help man if you would fall
9. Crow Me
Crow Me
In dark alleys in big swirls
She who dances with the crows
As they nest in her hair
Her halo only grows
She who dances with the crows
Her halo only grows
And she throws me her stars
as she goes along
Her black cape wet and torn
Too dark for the light of day
She sees herself in ivory
As he saw her when he walked away
Pristine in bondage collector of chains
Hurrying out when it rains
To give you her place by the fire
Pristine in bondage she dances no more
Her cape is too heavy
Her feet are too sore
10. Primal Nature
Primal Nature
Just maybe
You could smash my soul, please
Just maybe
You could twist my mind, in time
Just because or maybe
My heart fell to the ground
And the pieces where scattered
In secluded places
In expanded minds
There's no such thing as the end
Someday I wish you reborn
Could strip off our masks
In the land of the free
I guess stoner eyes do see
Things to rapidly
Moving round and round and round
I guess stoner hearts do break
Before it's all too late
Moving round and round....
Just maybe
You could break my walls
Just maybe
It wouldn't be that hard, in time
Just because or maybe
My fist fell to the ground
And the pieces where scattered
