Unstable

Music: Image

I’m unstable

I might cause a scene

Unbutton my dress 

In polite company

What would you think of me

What would you think of me

I kissed another

And it wasn’t the same

It left me aching 

A wound I can’t name

What would you think of me

What would you think of me

You called the Doctor 

He took me away

Dressed me in cotton

Left me on display 


What would you think of me

What would you think of me

Im so unstable 

Stop me please

Move my hands from my dress

Do with me as you please

What would you think of me

What would you think of me

Please love me

Love me

Please love me

Love me

Lilith's Step

Music: About

I dress in my best

But not to impress

Someone I barely know


I honour the gods,

The grumbling lot

Whose sins outnumber my own


They say Eve caused her own demise

Brought upon moral strife

But she, followed in Lilith’s step

I'll follow in Lilith’s step

Follow in Lilith’s step


Punished indefinitely

By those who wrote history

Hiding wet red eyes


Condemned hysteric

Lay waste to intelligence

Witches are never wise


They say Eve caused her own demise

Brought upon moral strife

But she, followed in Lilith’s step

Ill follow in Lilith’s


They say Eve caused her own demise

Brought upon moral strife

But she, followed in Lilith’s step

I'll follow in Lilith’s step

Follow in Lilith’s step


Follow 

Follow 

Follow

Anon. (Goldfish in my Bathtub)

Music: Image

Oh the goldfish in my bathtub

Like to play around my legs

Surfing in the ripples

Caused by my breath

And these goldfish in my bathtub

Whisper come close your eyes

Your head is feeling heavy

Let the water hold you tight

So I slip under

Into a once loved dream

The forms that comfort takes

Are uncertain to me

Once a week I feed the goldfish

With the salt around my bath

Keep them from all evil

If they politely ask

What I'ld do to join the goldfish

In their white marble tomb

Leave behind this world of folly

For a fancy shared with youth

So I slip under

Into a once loved dream

The forms that comfort takes

Are uncertain to me

(They are uncertain)

(Uncertain to me)

Eleanor (Loneliest Girl)

Music: Image

I'm the loneliest girl in the universe floating in the void,

in dark nothing lights are living how can anything survive,

we sent me here to prove ourselves,

conquerors of more than sea,

out here I may drown in the stark reality


Earth, is not the centre of anything,

Earth is not the centre of anything,

of anything


i'm the loneliest girl in the universe you watch me on TV,

through warped glass you can't see that everything seems to breathe,

we invent our roles of gods and kings,

but the stars can't be ruled,

take off my crown set it down,

as I now see truth

​Earth, is not the centre of anything,

Earth is not the centre of anything,

of anything


i'm the loneliest girl in the universe home so far away,

my mother cried as I flew through sky,

my father held her tight,

the oceans still the higher I go,

features start to blend,

I miss it all, oh, my home

nothing else compares

Earth, it is my everything, my everything

Oh Earth, you are my everything, my everything

Oh Earth, you are my everything, my everything

Oh Earth, you are my everything, my everything

my everything

Mara (October Evening)

Music: Image

One dull and dreary October evening,

my love called out to me,

the outsides cold and you have no coat,

come and warm your feet,

I had not the courage to turn her away,

so followed obediently,

on that dull and dreary October evening


She held my face with her hands saying it felt wrong

as none of the warmth she radiated could touch my soul

losing the courage to tell her the truth, I replied carefully

on that dull and dreary October evening


Love my skin it is blue but nothing ails me

and the chill does not affect me

look in my eyes do you see signs of life, has light escaped me

feel my pulse beneath my skin, you will feel no beating

on this dull and dreary October evening


A cry of dread she backed away at the realisation

of who she loved and all was left her spiteful figmentation

I'm sorry I said, I'm not really here

I'm sorry I said, I'm not really here
