"Colour Me"/15.12.2009

Damage me sweetly
Make me disappear
Mark me completely
Let me chart this disrepair

Feed me with fire water
Colour me in midnight ink
Pour stars down my back
And turn my eyes just as dark
As his are hollow...

Damage me sweetly
Undress my name and with each layer
Reveal me and delete me
Turn me into blessed air

Outside your door
The rain falls, an absolution -
It's a ghost town for me here - but you don't see them
I want your disguise, I want your freedom

To have never known that mad stone deceive him

Damage me sweetly
Shake my branches bare
Fill me and deplete me
Bring me winter's senselessness

Oh make a benediction
A frenzy till I wake
and then leave me by the pool to
find my rebel, find my monster, find my face

And through the glass, magnolias flame and flicker
I'm a ghost town, you're just another passing through here
But spring makes me think
He will still be there -
Just past the gate
In a house so familiar
Where we shared each hour
They were jewels in our fingers
