in the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness hung over the surface of the deep
and the spirit of god hovered over the waters
and god said let there be light but no light came
and as we hung there in the darkness, i told you
do not be afraid
and you asked me if god would protect us
no
but i will
god doesn't love you
not like i do
and then the darkness caught fire and we both went up in flames

Eden

in the valley where my lover sleeps
i make off to that mortal keep
my darling dreams of me
and the things i’ve seen
will you lay me down
will you lay with me
will you lay me down
where i left my love
in the valley where the angels sleep
you will come to regret me
i’ve done terrible things
i’m a woman of immeasurable sin
will you lay me down
will you lay with me
will you lay me down
where i left my love
love is dead and i killed it
righteousness is gone and i lost it

mother knows what you need
and mother gives it to you
he’s coming to get me
do you know what he’ll do to me
he wants to take my soul
he will come to get me
and he’s knows what i’ve done
do you know what i’ve done
do you know what i’ve done
can you undo what i’ve done
cause i can’t
i’ve done terrible things and you know it
i’ve done terrible things and you can’t deny it
you’re the most terrible thing i’ve done
and you won’t be undone

The Epitaph

God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves
i’m his tired pariah
i’m so sick of it
i have no more feeling in these limbs of mine
sought out in my bed
wrought out til I’m dead
i’m all for you
to use and use
i’m the epitome
of sodom and abuse
see my eyes
stare into my soul
give me what you’re giving up
diamonds out of coal
once they crucify your son
i’ll be in control
i won’t help him
i won’t stop
they’ll worship me forever
whether you like it or not
they’ll forget your name and call me God
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God loves you
God doesn’t love you anymore

Churchyard

every time i lay in my bed
i go to sleep hoping i'll wind up dead
i tried to pray you away
even though i know praying for you's a waste
can you hear the church bells ringing, baby?
you ate the heart right out of me
and when you kiss me all i taste is myself and how i reek
like a red wine staining all my virgin sheets
will you bury me behind the chapel where you first met me
it's a coffin of sorts where we lay
and you hide the nails in all the love that we make
you suffocate me baby, and i can't bear the weight
are you gonna make me dig my own grave
you ate the heart right out of me
and when you kiss me all i taste is myself and how i reek
like a red wine staining all my virgin sheets
will you bury me behind the chapel where you first met me

Hospital Beds II
05:36
|

i’m becoming a part
of this hospital bed
as i lose my part of you
i’m a violent wreck
of salvation and loss
tell me what am i to do
god as my witness
i’ll put you in the ground
and i’ll cry til i ache
but no sound will come out
i have never loved like you
and never will i again
you would say to be strong
but love i don’t think i can
i’ve been broken before
but this time i’ve lost my life
cause every time i held yours
you made me wanna keep mine
so i’m coming
oh i’m coming
i’m on my way now
i swear to god i’m coming
so will you wait for me
please just wait for me
i am coming
i swear that i’m coming
i laid there with you in that hospital bed
with my arms around your body as the bullet hole bled
i cried and cried for days but i couldn’t let go
i knew that you were rotting cause your hands had gone cold

Virginity (Piano Demo)
03:12
|

i'm sick and i'm sad and i'm wasting away
i sink, into my mattress, and i cry all day
all i want, is love, why's it so hard to find
i think of you, what you'd do, if you were on more than my mind
please tell me there's more
am i above, are they beneath
my holy body, my dirty sheets
they rip away, with gnashing teeth
my sullen womb, my... virginity
i’m sick, and i hurt, and i feel unclean
it spreads, and it kills, every part of me
i can't help it, i can't stop, i should go without
but there is, no escaping, this torrential drought
am i above, are they beneath
my holy body, my dirty sheets
they rip away, with gnashing teeth
my sullen womb, my... virginity

fuck me am i right
home of the brave
ok, all right
back trunk angel
to a fuck up mother
out of her mind, out of her sight
i wanna be famous someday
but dreams rarely come true
you just wanna be happy someday
but dreams don’t come true
for people like me and you
fuck me, am i right
land of the free
that’s what we see on tv
bedroom angel
to some white trash dick
with a bottle sticking out of his neck
i wanna be famous someday
but dreams rarely come true
you just wanna be happy someday
but dreams don’t come true
for people like me and you

8 Hour Days

beauty is everything
but no man will ever know what that means
only the woman who’s holding his hand
will ever know the pit that grows inside of that man
he likes his clothes black, dinner packed, 8 hour days and nights away from her
same place, saving face for him
i feel like a preacher’s wife
slaving every day and night
making sure that he looks nice
for his children that i don’t share
beauty is everything
even when it takes the piss from me
even when he takes what he thinks is his inside me
i am beautiful and i am free
i feel like a preacher’s wife
crying waiting up all night
but i’ll carry him and jesus christ
as long as he comes home to me
