1. Dove in the Clefts of Rock

and I just wanna know
why you go
to such great lengths
to break my heart
reflections cast what we adore
tracing demons on the mirrored doors

I know you're here, you're here somewhere

come on and shine for me
just shine for me, oh once,
my pretty little darling
two years is quite some time,
oh, such a long time for me

I know you're here, you're here somewhere

2. Muses

is a man doomed before he falls?
is a woman cursed before she crawls?
it's a question that defines us all
and is locked inside our brain

we're distracted by their feminine wiles
female lips can crush us with a smile
they erase us and put aces wild
like a card game in our souls

I can feel this playing out before me
I can feel my eyes turn marble white
I can feel this playing out before me, inside

we lightly waltz around
chemistry compounds
it doesn't change the sound of a two heart symphony

oh ye muses nine
heavenly creatures divine
from these few I've chosen mine
and from a tree she's hanging me

I don't want to do the things I do
In guilt there's essences of truth
every little kiss I gave away
belongs to me, on my lips where they should stay
I can feel this follow me around
it comes with the wind, and brings me back again

I don't know if things have changed, or if you really cared
you don't know what you put me through
you don't know what you put me through

3. Circe

and I'll regret these days for the rest of my time
and every little kiss stole a bit of my life
make me
you know you break me

you made a promise
and you meant it for sure
then another pretty face made his way through the door
I make you
you know I break you

and I don't want this
and I don't need this
it's another thing when your friends coming over
it's another thing when you love that boy

I won't, I won't be the enemy
I won't choose complacency
I won't be conveniencey
oh no, we've all changed
things will never be the same

you snuck by without touching the floor
got me quite relaxed, but there was so much more
we make these insufficiencies

you got scared while losing your grip
I took a little fall, and you started to slip
I make you
you know I break you

I don't want this
and I don't need this
It's another thing

4. Slip Into the Sea

I want the middle
not the in-between
I want the ending
not the lucid dream

building our blue prints on desire
the answer will seem to be
a life of only me

caught in the middle while leapt from the brink
I felt myself slip into the sea
watching your eyes
knowing that I
might not want what you can give to me
and so you see

unlocking chests filled with history
I saw you there
writing in your diary

building our passions on desire
and the answer will seem to be
a life of only me

caught in the middle while leapt from the brink
I felt myself slip into the sea
watching your thighs, knowing that I
might not want what I can get for free
and so you see
my insides feel tired
and so you see
caught up in wires spun from me

and I will find you
wherever you may be
even if then
a million miles from me

5. That's Just Me

is it any wonder how I found you?
is it any wonder how this dies?
I see a muse and then I want the sky

careful where you fire arrows
Paris knocks another blow
you might strike the hero down

but that's just me
and that's just everything to me

see a mighty city tumble
see a thousand white walls fall
with the blessings of a god

trick me with your smoke and mirrors
slip right inside my walls
and then burn me to the sea

but that's just me
and that's just everything
that's just the way, the way it's gonna be
but that's just me
and that's just everything
that's just the way, the way it's gonna be

It tears me up
it breaks me down
it shreds me up
it shred me up
it tears me down
it breaks me
it shreds me up
it shreds me up

and that's just me, that's just everything
that's just the way, the way I'm meant to be

6. The Sound of Thoughts in Limbo

don't worry, you can't get hurt
just as long as you don't really care
I dig graves that I can't fit into
my actions were reflex on a dare

I don't know what I'm saying here
I don't even know, I don't even know
I don't know what I'm doing here
I will never know, I will never know
a part of this is my own making
a part of me is still, still changing

don't stop now
let it all come out like a gust from Aeolius's mouth
stand in line
pretty little pictures that don't make any sense

I don't know what I'm doing here
I don't even know, I don't even know
Aedipius was the second fear
I can never tell, I can never tell
where my own mind is still going
what in my heart I've been showing

7. Anytime/Coats of Armor

anytime you, come around
you're welcome here
you're welcome dear

don't cry yourself to sleep at night
this could mean anything at all

another con, but you'll never see it fly
I've got another weary sigh
I've got another weary sigh
I've got another problem
shields and spears won't keep you out of
keep you out of me

sunrise sets and moon decays
I've got another price to pay
I've got another mind to sway
I've got another problem
coats of armor, will keep you under
keep you under me

don't cry yourself to sleep at night
this could mean anything at all

all you ever wanted was a gateway to them
you keep reaching out for anyone and anything, in grasp, oh embrace
the ones that keep on searching oh no they'll never find
the ones that keep on seeing, they only end up blind
the ones that keep on wanting, only get a yearning for more

oh you think you've got us, controlled like a kite
a cat on a string, a fish on a line
a tornado in a tube, a tiger in a cage
a bundle of sticks controlling a blaze

8. Dear Anne

Dear Anne
I've been thinking of you lately
do you take the time to think of me?
I have written you a letter
I pray it reaches you soon

and I all know
all I know
is I love you

9. Cassandra Castaway/Clytaemnestra

Clyteamnestra
drown me in the bath tub
slash my throat while
I dye the water red
I came back, I came back from a war
sieged the mighty gates of Troy
and was blown of course
a witch in, a witch in royal clothes
slipped her way onto the throne
a seat of gold
Aegisthus, Aegisthus, my sweetest friend
betrayal is the first means to and end
I forsook, I forsook Cassandra seer
oh, I should have listened

my Cassandra cast away
the witch queen sliced her heart in half
I yearn for Achilles' place
to meet him face to face
at the gates of Hades
Cerberus is fast asleep
I've no place to be
like love on a sliding hill
it will always follow me
the netherworld is calling to me

oh, my Cassandra cast away
I'm sure I've lost her to the sea
the netherworld is calling to me
oh, I've no place to be
like a lost soul
I yearn for Achilles' place
to meet him face to face
at the gates of Hades
Cerberus is fast asleep
the netherworld is calling to me

Clytaemnestra
I'm not anxious, you'll soon be dead

10. Wrapped Up

darling,
your eyes were
so quiet
when I said,
"are you ok?"
I don't trust you anymore

we were once so quiet
but yet so magnified
two hollow bodies sweating
electrified
we were once like children
into the night
if the words you spoke were truthful

I'd be wrapped up in your arms

I was
so violent
so quiet
inside
my own mind
there is nothing anymore

we were once like water
so easy to collide
an empty vessel sinking
by my side
we were once like children
our innocence denied
if the words you spoke were truthful

I'd be wrapped up in your arms

I'll never let you in
I'll never let you out

I'd be wrapped up in your arms

11. Young Pantheon

sometimes "maybe" won't be good enough
dead black crows on the graveyard steps
when we look back, we are controlled
who are we here,
who are we upon this stage?
so sure of ourselves

and everyone
is so built out of
out of coffin nails
and everyone, oh yeah, everyone's so scared
and younger now
like a new snow come again

sometimes "sorry" won't be good enough
Lord knows now I'm a nervous wreck
you're no Prometheus, so quit stealing our fire
who are you now, who are you upon this stage?
so sure of yourselves

and everyone, everyones so scared, and so damn young
like a black bagged partisan
we are terrified, but we'll never let that show
our masks are porcelain
our masks are porcelain

all hail the golden children
hail these young gods
set forth on thrones of golden
we are their pawns

I'll see you in hell kid, I'll see you in hell

12. Air

when it's over
in part to me
gaps in moments
that never seemed to be
apparitions
fleeting movements
will haunt my eyes
female features
my mind in feathers
all a trick of the mind

you're not there
sirens blare
you're just air
left and right
stall in fright
you're just air

city towers
I remember
places I've never been
moving pieces
a shifting image
that still makes no sense

if it's harder
to remember
if you'll end up on the floor
my mind it curses
to forget it
dear, don't drink any more

be prepared, caused I'm scared
you're just air
a hologram
a vision can be just air

cuts me to ribbons with slicing air
the thought of you
makes me so damn scared
a ghost slides through the whippoorwills
slides through the leaves so still

my mind wanders in absent stare
the thought of you makes me so damn scared
I'm going out of my mind
I'm going out of my mind

I can see your face from the forest
I can see your face from the forest
I used to be sane before this
but now I'm just damaged goods

I can see your face from the forest
I can see your face from the forest
I used to be sane before
but now I'm just damaged goods

calling out
a moment's glimpse of your eyes
a heart's been shredded up
it could be mine

13. The Softest Picture

your pale eyes
paint the softest picture in my head
I'm right on the edge
this black dog
he follows me from behind
he prefers I don't try

no, I'm not here
I'm in my head
no, there's no one here
I'm somewhere else

I'm so low
it's the only tide that I feel
is anything real?
part the seas
let the water rise up past my head
I did my best

no, I'm not here
I'm in my head
no, there's no one here
I'm somewhere else

14. Come Back to Me

run, run my dear
but not for fear
in the open
run, back to me
when you're free
free and broken

when we were young
the world it was one
making the choices that everyone does
is this the end
or just the beginning?

run, back to me
when you're free
free and broken
run, with the wind
a whispered sin
in the open

when we were young
the world it was fun
making the choices that everyone does
is this the end
or just the beginning?
