PERMISSION (2009)

I realize I can never break though
Won’t be able to get close to you
Not in the same place I was before
I’ve evolved into something

Easy to reach, so far away
Time has come for the cycle to break
It’s time to let go

Opaque in a world of transparency
Rattle my cage so I just can’t think
Lose the will to speak
and motor function

Tried so hard
Couldn’t let go
No one ever told me so
No one ever told me so
Well, you have Permission

Pulse races but the body is still
Feels so good to be free of your will
What have I done wrong?
For the most part nothing

Tried so hard to make you see
Actions led by insecurity, misery and fear
As you search for acceptance

Take a deep breath I must confess
I’ve waited for this day

All you want is Permission
All you need is Permission
All you got is Permission

You have Permission

CULT OF LIES (2009)

You work so hard
selling your God
I don’t buy the novelty

I’d rather ask why
than follow blindly

It would be so much easier
if I thought like you
It would be so much better
If you thought like me

That hasn’t been our history
But I can will it to be

I will not join your Cult of Lies
Of Fairy Tales and Lullabies
A futile attempt to explain away
Why we are standing here today

SELFISH (2009)

I am so selfish I hate to share
I don’t care what they think
they can hate me if they dare

I’m here right now
holding your hand
don’t let go
I know you understand
I’m here right now
Passionately
A love like this can cause such jealousy

I am so selfish I hate to share
you are mine but it’s more than sheer possessiveness
I am so selfish I hate to share
I don’t care what they think
They can hate me if they dare

Can it be our little secret something
Only for us to know
Something we don’t share
We don’t share

GAME (Now Lie In It-2005)

I pretend to not like you
Only way that you’ll like me
I look away when our eyes meet
because then you stare at me

Can’t ever say that I love you
or how much you mean to me
these feelings are perceived as weak
and will quickly make you flee

It’s a game
It’s a game we made
only way to win is not to play

I have learned to be cold and hard
that is what is expected of me
don’t you deserve better that this
or is this how it must be?

I’ve grown bored with this game
guess you can call it maturity
if loving you makes me weak
you must not be good enough for me

SUBDUCTION (Now Lie In It- 2005)

I’ll take you to a forbidden place
And spread a feast of succulent tastes
Present you with a way to make
Reality fade away

My body is a delicacy
Come sample my ecstacy
Feel the surge of energy
Pleasure pulsates through our veins

Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
All tension fades away
I crave you each and every way
Don’t let the moment get away

Go down to where the fire burns and the core begins to melt
Go down and do what is taboo hotter than anything I’ve felt

Time stands still
Vibrations tremble through my core
Tremors knock things to the floor
We both scream out for more

EMOTIONAL VAMPIRE (Now Lie In It- 2005)

For a time I was lonely
I invited you in
I ignored what you were
and where you’d been

I was looking for love
but just couldn’t see
Your desire was to feed on me

Can’t bear your reflection
Too ashamed to see
Not a beautiful monster
Your pathetic and weak

You feed on others
Cause your dead inside
Sucking and biting
draining everyone dry

No chance my Emotional Vampire
get the best of me
I hold a steak to your heart
I know the choice must be
you or me

I have to stop you from draining me dry
sucking my sockets until you are high
All the energy I fed to you
You would crumble to dust if you knew
How I felt about you (what I know about you)

No chance my emotional vampire get the best of me
I’ll drive a stake through your heart
I know the choice must be
you or me

RECTIFY (Now Lie In It-2005)

You needed someone to understand
I listened to you and held your hand
Offered the way in which I see
You won’t do the same for me

So used then tossed away
So special and then worthless the next day

Someday I won’t be there to hold your hand

Seen it so many times before
The world is selfish
everyone wants more
not willing to give back what they take
no matter who’s heart it is that breaks

So used then tossed away
so special and then worthless the next day

Someday I won’t be there
When you need me I won’t be there to hold your hand
