Cut The World

For so long I've obeyed that feminine decree
I've always contained your desire to hurt me

But when will I turn and cut the world?

My eyes are coral, absorbing your dreams
My heart is a record of dangerous scenes
My skin is a surface to push to extremes

But when will I turn and cut the world?


(Antony And The Johnsons)

No Death

my baby has a swollen face
long stiff limbs
them eyes are black pits
of a place where I've been
her hair is long
still smells like mud
she answered to my kiss
with a rotten tongue
no death can
tear us apart
her body is cold
well its gonna get colder
but my love will ignite
what was left to smoulder
I move my hips
in her I am home
I'll keep on loving
till the marrow dries from her bones
no death
can tear us apart
all day
I stay by her side
but death has a claim
and a right to my bride
I shut the doors
pull the curtains and hide
I heard something moving
somewhere outside
no death can
tear us apart
but death comes a sneaking in
trough the keyholes
he's clever and he knows
what's beneath the floorboards
death comes to feast
like a greedy hungry beast
he wants it all
and here he crawls
and here he crawls
and here he crawls...

Chained

I watched you breathe in
And I wished you’d stop
Only for long enough
Long enough
It’s
Hard
To
Say
Separate or combine
I ask you
One last time
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It’s not a secret you should keep
I won’t let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss
Winged or chained
I ask you
Would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Oooh-oooh-oooh

Baby Blue

I don't think you should wait nor a minute more
'Cause she's a girl that you've been waiting for
Funny how the noises that I'm making
Can't drown the sound of my heart breaking

Baby Blue
I don't know what to do when you call to me
Baby Blue
I never really knew I belonged to you.

Just one brief glance was all that I needed to
Believe that you might feel what I feel for you
In the night I wake up after breathing
No fish, you're calling to me in my dreaming

Baby Blue
I don't know what to do when you call to me
Baby Blue
I never really knew I belonged to you

No ageless trance will rush up to meet me and feign
The love will remain

Baby Blue
I don't know what to do when you call to me
Baby Blue
I never really knew I belonged to you

For pleasure glows if only I find a blue
In the night, into his room
Brush his lips, wait 'till the morning
In his eyes a new love dawning

Baby Blue
I don't know what to do when you call to me
Baby Blue
I never really knew I belonged to you.

Charmer

When you’re a charmer
the apples fall
and you’re quite the little collector
you got ‘em all

When you’re a charmer
people respond
they can’t see the hidden agenda
you got going on

But when you’re weak it’s the Holy Grail
you’re two for one, it’s a fire sale
and that’s a wall that you cannot scale
so you’re forced to burrow under

When you’re a charmer
the world applauds
they don’t know that secretly charmers
feel like they’re frauds

When you’re a charmer
you hate yourself
a victim of sideshow hypnosis
like everyone else

and then your thinking goes black and white
and you’re all hunger and appetite
this is a battle you cannot fight
no, you only can surrender
no, you only can surrender
