I waited in line
and when I got
to the front
I bowed my head
and crossed my arms
no blood no body
I’m a sinner
and everyone could see
my lovers
would be proud of me
He touched my forehead
whispered words into his hands
he blessed me there instead
I was there to seek
but I still felt
so far from God
when I took my seat
Sunday, Sunday
the congregation sings their songs
I don’t know the words
I pray, I pray
for selfish things
for selfish things
I should have confessed
I had my sins
I had my chance
but I was scared to death
I’ve done foolish things
their burden is so heavy
and I want them off of me
Sunday, Sunday
Gazing out the painted glass
sitting in my pew
I pray, I pray
but I don’t know to who

Too
04:09

I’ve made myself smaller
shrunk my body to make space for you
but I need space too, I need space too
I need space to move
I’ve made myself quiet
silenced every thought that wasn’t soft
but I have anger, I have anger
I have anger too
I’m wasting away for you
Everything it’s all for you
And that’s what you want isn’t it?
Take my body, take my spirit too
I became a piece of meat
to give you something good to eat
but I feel hunger, I feel hunger
I feel hunger too
Painted on this perfect face
ugly women have no place
but I get tired, I get tired
I get tired too
I’m wasting away for you
Everything it’s all for you
And that’s what you want, isn’t it?
Take my body, take my spirit
And that’s what you want isn’t it?
You take our bodies, want our spirits too
You’ll bring me back from the dead
just to kill me again
I held back my own tears
bottled up my pain to comfort you
but I need comfort, I need comfort
I need comfort too
I wore white most everyday
because you say it suits my grace
I’m not your virgin
not your angel
not your silent muse

Clean & Fair

Oh my god
I was so in love with you and now I’m not
Get in the shower with me
Wash these feelings off of me
I can’t sleep
I just lay awake at night praying for release
Get in the shower with me
Wash exhaustion off of me
While you dream
I search your face and envy
how you sleep so deep and sure
Desperately
I try to find the will to sacrifice
I had before
I feel pain
every time you touch me
every time you say my name
Get in the shower with me
Wash resentment off of me
Let me wash your hair
I will take such care
I will leave you clean and fair
I can’t breathe
I am trapped beneath the pedestal
you built for me
get in the shower with me
wash devotion off of me
please, please
When love was new
You hung my drawings on the walls
and said they looked like truth
now I draw you
with every line appears a face
I’m less connected to
Let me wash your hair
I will take such care
you can lay me bare
and say your final prayer
kiss my lonely mouth
and make love to my doubts
then I will leave you clean and fair
You ask why
It never occurred to you
that I could change my mind
Get in the shower with me
then dry me off and leave me be

How Much
04:59
|

|
Turned on its side
my view of you leaving my life
I loved you so, but no I couldn’t be your wife
My beautiful once perfect man
perfect no more
and now my cheek is pressed against
the cold bathroom floor
And I can’t get up, because when I do
you will be gone, and I will miss you
How much of a man do I need men to be?
How much of a man do I need men to be?
Hands rough and strong
you used them right, I felt them wrong
Teeth sharp and straight
you bit my skin then made me wait
You wore the watch, so you kept the time
you held me close, and I told you lies
How much of a man do I need men to be?
How much of a man do I need men to be?
Wrong for me, belong to me
You showed me love with diamonds and gold
but luxury things just make me feel old
lust and desire, they laugh and they taunt
'cause you were the man they told me to want
How much of a man do I need men to be?
How much of a man do I need men to be?
How much of a man do I need men to be?
How much of a man did I need you to be?

Invited

Don’t press your lips to the hollow of my throat unless you’ve been invited
Don’t rest your hand in the curve of my back unless you’ve been invited
Just because you want me
doesn’t mean you can have me
no, you can’t have me
Don’t pull me close and make me feel dirty unless you’ve been invited
Don’t kill my name to call me your baby unless you’ve been invited
Just because you adore me
doesn’t mean that I love you
no, I don’t love you
no, look what you’ve put me through
Don’t stroke my hair or breathe in its sweetness unless you’ve been invited
Don’t whisper yes in my ear from behind me unless you’ve been invited
You demand my time
you commandeer my space
but you can’t have the smile
withheld from my face
Don’t use your eyes to devour my body unless you’ve been invited
Don’t take this dress off of my beautiful body unless you’ve been invited
Don’t touch me I’m free, I’m free

Worship Me
03:31
|
|||
|
My lips are full, my skin is soft
my hair is blonde, and my breasts are ripe
My legs are long, my cheeks are pink
my eyes are wide, and my touch is fire
Get down on your knees, worship me
Beg me, beg me please, my love isn’t free
You want a piece, you want a piece
you want a big, big piece of me
You want to live your fantasies
you want to find belief in me
Get down on your knees, worship me
Tell me what you see, bask in my glory
Tell me what you see, bask in my glory
Beg me, beg me please
My love isn’t free
You'd love to bathe me tenderly
run holy water down my spine
You’d better pray, go pray to god
ask for his help to taste this wine
Get down on your knees, worship me
Lay down at my feet, cleanse yourself for me
Lay down at my feet, cleanse yourself for me
Beg me, beg me please
My love isn’t free
My lips are full, my skin is soft
my hair is blonde, and my breasts are ripe
I have a strength you’ll never know
I hold your life between my thighs
Get down on your knees, worship me
I’m the air you breathe, you belong to me

I Would Love To
04:47
|
|||
|
Don’t you think I’d love to rest?
Close my eyes and sleep again?
But I’m awake now, and I can’t unsee
all of the rope I had wrapped around me
but I would love to
Don’t you think I’d love some peace?
I’ve been fighting tirelessly!
To lower my fists and unclench my hands
to take a deep breath and feel good again
yes, I would love to
Don’t you think I’d love to trust?
Surrender myself to love?
If I could be held without second thoughts
without any fear that he’ll take what he wants
To feel a man’s arms around my body without questioning
if I’m truly free
I would love to
Don’t you think I’d love to cry?
To let someone dry my eyes?
But there’s no one here, I’m all by myself
and sadness can’t hurt if it isn’t felt
And so I turn to anger instead
I left behind blue and now I see red
But I can’t keep up with anger’s demands
I’m becoming as weak as they say I am
I would love to
ooh… I would love to rest

Lush Life
04:12

I used to visit all the very gay places, those come what may places
where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
to get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces with distant gay traces
that used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
by too many through the day
twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song to tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
Yes, I was wrong again, I was wrong
Life is lonely again, and only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again, a troughful of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris should ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you I will, while yet you are still burning inside my brain
Romance is mush stifling those who strive
I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be while I rot with the rest of
those whose lives are lonely, too

gracefully attached to this world," says New Sick Music.
