Oh, spit it out now
Spit it out, your spectre is near
Will you find relief here?
Can your grace keep you with me?
I stand right beside you
We stand in the bestial heat
What more can we ask for?
Rain falls, into soil we seep
Oh, spit it out now
Spit it out, your spectre is near
Will you find relief here?
Can your grace keep you with me?
I see sparrows and vultures
Talons deep in serpents and thieves
While alone comes her creature
Shapeshifting while burning alive

YELLOW WITH ROPE
The stars bled out, it feels so long ago
What cold light left carved our shadows into stone
Rancid time, conquer and combine
Drift us off into the night
What can you give me, that I can’t give myself?
And though I still get nervous, I bet you couldn’t tell
Ask for more, ask for more
Be mortality’s whore
Dusk draws near, and life’s not fair
If time counts for anything, what’s left for us to share?
Our shadows never look
Quite like us
So let’s shed away the husk
All I need is one true friend
I want total peace of mind
To leave the hurting world behind
I'm not scared; I swear I'm free
It may collapse the fear
That burns to bring the worst from me
Much too smart to sound uptight
Not to cheat what I deserve
Nothing hidden and nothing wasted
So far from dead, frustrated
Too smart to ask for more
This is all I've waited for
Nothing hidden and nothing wasted
Nothing past the love I've tasted
It's wrong but right; magic change
I finally hurt to live on up to this name
Not right; it never changes
When finally hurt to live on up to this thing

DEATH COMES ALONE, NAYIRAH
Hush-a-bye, don't you cry
Go to sleepy, little baby
Go to sleepy, little baby
When you wake, you shall have
All the pretty little horses
All the pretty little horses
Blacks and bays, and dapples and greys
All the pretty little horses
Go to sleep, don't you cry
Rest your head upon the clover
Rest your head upon the clover
In your dreams, you shall ride
While your mummy watches over
Blacks and bays, and dapples and greys
All the pretty little horses
All the pretty little horses
All the pretty little horses
All the pretty little horses [forever]
