despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage.

it was insanity, but it sounded romantic.

& you never knew how much i really liked you. / because i never even told you. / oh, & i meant to.

sit in the front row, watch the princess die.

do you like me when i have no face? / hog–tied & bound by black duct tape. / i told him that i cannot breathe, he said, “i want you to scream for me.”

you only ever touch me in the dark. / only if we’re drinking, can you see my spark. / & only in the evening could you give yourself to me, ‘cause the night is your woman, & she’ll set you free.

a couple of the sounds that i really like are the sounds of a switchblade & a motorbike; i’m a juvenile product of the working class!

& he: ( & this was almost unbearable ). he saw me see him, & i saw him see me.

i'm just a child but i'm not above violence.

i missed your skin when you were east, you clicked your heels & wished for me.

i want blood, guts & angel cake. / i’m gonna puke it anyway.

yeah, i’ve been dancing with the devil. / i love that he pretends to care.

he wants to lift weights like a fighter. / we put the medals on the wall. / lost in the room of starving vultures; gold trophies, he got ’em all.

lights, camera, acción. / you know i can’t make it on my own.

you know, i’ve got 1,000 candles in a closet in my home in atlanta, & i suppose that is excessive. but i’ll tell you what: it’s the best–smelling closet you’ve ever been in in your life.

& you never knew how much i really liked you. / because i never even told you. / oh, & i meant to.

call me before i get stupid.

do you love me enough that i may be weak with you?

i know i'm... not the type of girl vamps like to sink their teeth into...

in my dreams i am kissing your mouth & you're whispering 'where have you been?' i say, 'i've been lost but i'm here now. you're the only person who has ever been able to find me.'
