Cracked ribs from the hugs that you gave me A sad grin from the love that you'd take The mask fits so snug and so safely When I can't live with the sum of mistakes Somehow, you turn silence to symphonies Violence to riveting and moments to years Or so it appears, when the lights of the city gleam I can do anything
Noah's Ark, save me from open-heart mania Going dark slowly like Joan of Arcadia Maybe the blowing star's home is my savior That I sing to through my pulled apart trachea Fist-fight just to feel the touch Alcohol doesn't heal the cuts Needle for the heroin, feel the rush There's no hero for this heroine Just us
