Your nails aren’t sharp enough
To hold me to your cross
Lift your glass to my wounds
Until it overflows
Toast to your cleverness
Drink to your resourcefulness
You’ve slain your greatest foe
Hammer hard hon,
Drive them deep, dear…cuz
I can see
(Voiced sound)
Your hands are shaking
Your knees are quaking
And I can taste…your loss.
I’m still in your closet
I’m still under your bed
I’ll wait in your dreams
I’ll animate your head
Your hands are cruel enough
To still my racing heart.
Mmmm won’t you catch my falling head
And hold it to your chest?
Curse my death, your sacrifice.
Kiss my lips; I paid your price.
You’ve cracked the grail and doomed your rest.
Hide the hole, hon
Dig it deep, dear…cuz
I can feel
(voiced sound)
Your hands are shaking
Your knees are quaking
And I can hear your breath.
I’m still in your closet
I’m still under your bed
I’ll wait in your dreams
I’ll animate your head
I wrote a letter for you today,
That you would arrive, my love.
Then with the candle from my cell
I fed it to the flame.
Ribbons of smoke
Wisp to my lips
And I exhale your name.
Feel me. Feel me.
God, please feel me.
Just fear me, love me, do as I say
And I will be your slave.
The oubliette said that I’d forget,
But I will come for you.
Centuries have come and gone
And walled me in my tomb, love.
To walls and dust and spider webs
I hunger, thirst and rage.
(The) ropes of my regret
Bind me (still) to you,
And bend me to your cage.
Hear me. Hear me.
God, please hear me.
Just fear me, love me, do as I say
And I will be your slave.
The oubliette said that I’d forget,
But I will come for you.
Oh, be thou beast, no beast so fierce
But knows some touch of pity.
I do cry you mercy;
I did not see your Grace.
Humbly on my knee
Your blessing I do crave.
Just fear me, love me, do as I say
And I will be your slave.
The oubliette said that I’d forget,
But I will die for you.
