The Moon, she is my lover
I see her every night;
And when the night is darkest
She fills my heart with light.
Oh, draw us down together
And lay me down to sleep.
And when the night is over,
My secrets she will keep.
Her face will wax and wane now
And while she brightly glows,
She'll light my darkest places;
Soft truths that no one knows.
So, draw us down together
And lay me down to sleep.
And when the night is over,
My secrets she will keep.
So dance me down in starlight
With moonbeams in my hair.
I'll speak ever so softly,
A whisper on the air.
So, draw us down together
And lay me down to sleep.
And when the night is over,
My secrets she will keep.
Oh, draw us down together
And lay me down to sleep.
And when the night is over,
My secrets she will keep.

River

Carry me down
Down to the river
Can you help me sew
These rocks in my skin?
Carry me down
We'll float together
But you'll emerge from the surface
While I slowly start to drown
Oh let me be
Til crows come kiss me
Til water sighs so soft on my skin
Just let me be
Til cold comes calling
And when i'm frozen in the water
I can finally learn to breathe
And I won't bother to say goodbye
So don't you worry when I'm gone
Just go, go down, down to the river
And sing, sing to me under the waves
Just let me dream
Down by the river
Can you see the night closing in?
Just let me dream
Of stiller waters
And though i'm sleeping on the bottom,
I will never wake again
And I won't bother to say goodbye
So don't you worry when I'm gone
Just go, go down, down to the river
And sing, sing to me under the waves
Carry me down
Down to the river
Can you help me sew
These rocks in my skin?
Carry me down
We'll float together
But you'll emerge from the surface
While I slowly start to drown

Mirror Wall

My days have changed
My eyes have grown dark
My days are strange
Like the tables at the park
I want to see you but you are hidden behind
The mirror wall and all i can see is my
self
after all
I want to see you but you are hidden behind
The mirror wall and all i can see is my
self
after all
My life of cards
They burn, brighter now
Take a look at my house
See the garden that we've grown
Can you see
Past the thorns and weeds?
They're as tall as you and me
Can you see, through to me?
I want to see you but you are hidden behind
The mirror wall and all i can see is my
self
after all
I want to see you but you are hidden behind
The mirror wall and all i can see is my
self
after all

Devil

The devil used to sing to me
She told me how things were gonna be
Her voice kept me up at night
Not like I put up much of a fight
And when she sings
I never listen
I close my eyes
Remember to be kind
And when I walk
I walk in heaven
And when I walk
The devil stays behind
Down at the crossroads
That's where I met her
She was dancing
To the sound of darkness
She held out her hand
I took it in mine
She stole away my kind
ness
I search for the light
She holds me in the night
And when she sings
I'm there to listen
I close my eyes
Where nothing there was kind
And when I walk
I walk in darkness
And when I walk
The devil walks behind
With every footstep
She's beside me
She's taken over my mind
When my only wish was to be kind
I've seen the darkness
Things I can't unsee
Of all the things I've done
I can never be free
And when she sings
I'm there to listen
I close my eyes
Where nothing there was kind
And when I walk
I walk in darkness
And when I walk
The devil walks behind
The light and dark are pairs of two
They can burn and blind you
I've looked into the darkest sun
And sunk into the darkest one
Now that I am seeing black
I'll dance away and won't come back
Now that I am seeing back
I'll dance away and won't come back
Won't come back

I ate a box of nails last night,
It tasted cold and grimy black.
I blinked, I blinked, I blinked
But the sickness was back.
I couldn't drink the sick away.
Inside, my eyes are blind and grey.
I told... I told that girl to stay away.
But now... Now i miss the songs she'd play.
Metal, Metal, Metal,
Fell out of my eyes.
I blinked, I blinked, I blinked,
I blinked but the sickness was back.
I blinked, I blinked, I blinked,
I blinked but the sickness was back.
There's darkness squirming in my mouth.
I tried to scream but it won't come out.
All I seem to do is cry,
Yet nothing is behind my eyes.
My eyes, My eyes, My eyes.
Metal, Metal, Metal,
Fell out of my eyes.
I blinked, I blinked, I blinked,
I blinked, but the sickness was back.

Siren

Look into the ripples
Growing big and wide
Look into the whirlpool
Growing in my eyes
Listen to my voice now
I'd never steer you wrong
Just listen to the music
Let your heart hold the song
lay your body down love
As I sing my Siren's Song
Let my song enchant you
Until your fears are gone
The water is cold and cleansing
And the night is growing long
So lay your body down love
And I'll sing my Siren's Song
My arms will circle round you
My voice will pull you down
The water's not so icy
When you leave the ground
So flow along the river
Into the open sound
And sink into the comfort
Of this water all around
lay your body down love
As I sing my Siren's Song
Let my song enchant you
Until your fears are gone
The water is cold and cleansing
And the night is growing long
So lay your body down love
And I'll sing my Siren's Song
And we'll go
Down down down
into the deep
Down down down
into your conscious I'll seep
And we'll go
Down down down
into the deep
Just sink on
Down down down
Into eternal sleep
The waves are crashing down dear
On rocks upon the shore
The river running fast here
Flowing faster evermore
The currents pulling this way
The tides pushing back
The water keeps on rising
And you're sinking in the black
So lay your body down love
As I sing my Siren's Song
Let my song enchant you
Until your fears are gone
The water is cold and cleansing
And the night is growing long
So lay your body down love
And I'll sing my Siren's Song
