Like a Petal from the Rose
Falling on your grave
Like the ashes from the smoke
In your blackened lungs
It's such a crime to waste your time
by smoking your mind dry
It's so easy to think you're crazy
when you're young you're not
It's all aligned for when you find your gift
It's up to you to lift others on up
I should have been banging down doors
Crawling on all fours
Screaming out my name
We're all worried where the next bomb will threat
Where the next train will wreck
Where's that storm that washed away your dreams
It's such a crime to waste your time
by drinking your mind blind
And it's so easy to think you're crazy
when you're old you are
It's all aligned for when you find your gift
It's up to you to lift others on up
I should have been banging down doors
Crawling naked on floors
Screaming out my name
If by some chance I had thirteen wives
And all my girls and boys feared for their lives
With blood dripping down...
If by some chance I were crowned as king
I'd put my hands on every goddamned last thing
With blood dripping down, down my ego
The Devotees
Their humming like bees
In a minor key
Their down on their knees
With a kindly face
They promise to please
If by some chance I woke and I were god
A break, a breath from my life as a man
With blood dripping down, down my ego
You never wanted to pretend
You couldn't even in the end
So what do you say?
What do we do now?
You doused yourself in liquid hate
To save the world from the war and its fate
So what do you say?
What do we do now?
Malachi
I Heard Your Cry
and I am not the only one!
You know that I've been so crazy dear
So what it's all right
I won't be afraid this time
Scratch that - what do they want from me?
What do they know of me?
Where do they come from?
So what it's all right
I won't be ashamed this time
Please dear, don't fear
We're all weirdos
But you don't stop I just might
Become a widow
Breathe in, Breathe out
It's all a dream I don't want to believe
That the world as we know is now tearing at the seams
Breathe in, Breathe out
The Prettiest Creature
In God's world
She's loyal to
No known end
She'll kill for me
Before I can ask
The Prettiest Creature
In God's world with big brown eyes
She's loyal to
No known end
She'll kill for me
She's man's best friend
