Come
|
With me
|
|
I will let you see with my words
|
I will let you burn & observe
|
|
But where I go
|
You can only follow
|
|
So close your eyes
|
Open your mind
|
|
...and see
|
|
Somewhere
|
Out in the dark
|
|
A car pulls up
|
& parks
|
|
& the passenger
|
Shifts nervously in her seat
|
& butterflies
|
Flutter in her belly
|
|
& the driver
|
Shuts off the engine
|
& moves a little close
|
|
She giggles a little
|
As he unbuttons her blouse
|
|
She pushes him away
|
& he whispers,
|
"aw baby, don't be that way.
|
I took you out, I treated you right.
|
Now, don't put up a fight.
|
Come on.
|
I only want to put the tip in.
|
Don't fight, don't fight. come on.
|
This is all your fault you know.
|
Just relax, let me do what I gotta do
|
& I'll let you go.
|
|
Don't you love me ?
|
Don't you love me ?
|
|
DON'T YOU LOVE ME ?
|
|
Breathe in deep
|
A sea of desperate dreams
|
I have no mouth
|
& I must scream
|
|
Brethe in deep
|
A sea of desperate dreams
|
I have no mouth...
|
|
And somewhere
|
In a normal neighborhood
|
In a normal house
|
|
A normal family
|
Is falling part
|
|
And down the hall
|
The little ones hide
|
|
Frozen as fossils
|
As their mother cries
|
|
Listening
|
Now that the others have gone silent
|
|
The walls blister
|
As sister rises in defiance
|
|
Here
|
In the depths of the labyrinth
|
She will make her mark
|
|
She travels the cavern
|
Searching for the Minotaur
|
|
& she finds him
|
Asleep in the heat
|
Of his triumphs
|
|
A sparkle of flame
|
Flickers in hey eye
|
|
She nudges him softly
|
And says, "Daddy, wanna give me a try ?"
|
|
And he rumbles a roar,
|
"You must lick honey from a thorn
|
If you are to survive this night"
|
|
And she says, "no, I'd rather pick a fight."
|
|
And he reaches out and she's on the attack
|
And he's face down and she straddles his back
|
|
Ans has the moonlight fades from his eyes
|
She sighs,
|
"come on, what's the matter ?"
|
|
Don't you love me ?
|
Don't you love me ?
|
|
DON'T YOU LOVE ME ?
|
|
Breathe in deep
|
A sea of desperate dreams
|
I have no mouth
|
& I must scream
|
|
Breathe in deep
|
A sea of desperate dreams
|
I have no mouth AND I MUST SCREAM !
|
|
Whate we are
|
You too will become
|
|
Liberated children
|
Of a bloody-hungry god
|
|
Sedition !
|
|
They used to HANG women like me,
|
Strange fruit of the poplar tree !
|
|
They used to OWN women like me,
|
Necessary accessories !
|
|
They use to BURN women like me,
|
To quell the fires of liberty
|
|
In the blessed fertile orescent,
|
THEY STILL STONE WOMEN LIKE ME !
|
|
And one day you will say
|
Just look at her now !
|
|
...and as everything fades to black
|
...and as the jackals laugh in the aftermath
|
|
I'm not yours anymore
|
