I've been singing your praises with hell fire on my tongue Always been the choir girl with lust in her eyes Holy cloth at my ankles quite the clever disguise I know who you are Who cast my fear upon the wall whose wisened monks acquainted me with a desire to die My god my god my god you are the god the god the god who made the wind the wind the wind that made the storm the storm the storm that wrecked my sales. My god my god my god you are the god the god the god who made the man the man the man who told the lie the lie the lie that tore me up inside Incense chokes the choir Incense chokes the choir Panic echoes down the isle Panic echoes down the isle And I’m gone And I’m gone Ave Maria gratia plena dominus tecum fructus ventris tui Amen I know who you are Who cast my fear upon the wall Whose wisened monks acquainted me with a desire to die Incense chokes the choir Incense chokes the choir Panic echoes down the isle Panic echoes down the isle And I’m gone And I’m gone

I was raised to fear all men so I grew to love them men I should fear Now, -alone in the bathroom- hurting, crying, regretting I'm scraping the filth from my skin with my eyes in the mirror I'm digging for memories and finding more dirt If my fear had eyes to track its source it would be beaten black and blue It would suffer blow after blow to the back of its head at every turn I'm thinking about the man who makes me shake in my skin and turns my shoulders into lead I'm thinking about the love I feel -the dirt and the hurt and the regret- I keep digging and digging but you my love -my fear itself- are the only thing I will not forget

I can't help but love those poor little things with their dirty feathers and their weakened wings I can't help but love those terible things they'll peck you in they eye and they'll lie and they'll lie to you and i try to pick them up with sticks and a bundle of string they'll ruffle their feathers and flap their wretched wings then they'll fall to the ether and never be heard of again then they'll fall to the ether and never be heard of again well I may be a woman with my feet flat to the floor i may be a woman but i ain't nothing more I try to keep my head up try to hold onto my pride but my eyes they are searching and my hands they are reaching out and my heart it is yearning yearning for the those terrible terrible wretched little things yearning for those terrible terrible lying things I can't help but love those poor little things, with their dirty feathers and their weakened wings I can't help but love those terrible things, they'll peck you in they eye and they'll lie and they'll lie to you

Half-Light 03:38
I've shrunken into my shadow again I'm pacing a dirt drenched and dripping rag of a city, reciting dreams like rhymes for you. I am humbled now I am humbled now you humble me you humble me so I shape light with my hands it comforts me comfort me in this city, I will cast the dim and the dark cloths of night, I'll shape the light and the half-light I'll pave the streets with embroidered cloths inwrought with silver light, I'll spread these cloths under your feet, so you may cross so gently over me. I'll shape the light and the half light I am humbled now I am humbled now you humble me you humble me
