Just like you I am a wandererWandering, wondering Outrunning all my previous livesSo cleave to me just like a tiny storm A raining and a thundering Coming out of clear blue skies - "All I Know"
There were many guests at the tableMisfortune, jealousy, and slothActing fine, drink the wineSpill it on the tablecloth - "Feast"

Like a womb, the night was all around ~ Disappear
Ugliness you have to know, beauty you can't teach ~ Disappear
You stare down at some crowd from your trapezeAnd when you fell they fell down on their kneesAnd when you broke they scrambled for a pieceAnd when you spoke I felt their anger freeze. ~ Metropolis
I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring, I couldn't take it off if I tried... ~ Hotel Womb
She put her foot down on the oscillation pedal, she was a transdimensional speeder... ~ Terra Nova Cain
The pines smell sweet in the frozen air,and their silhoutte's just fading there,the wolves crouch close, against the snowbut where we're running I don't know,In villages and soft sad townsthe candles sway as night comes down,cold bones creak and strange beasts cry,watching shadows in the sky...All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence. ~ Providence
On this very spot a great city once stood,It oozed with evil but it felt so good... ~ City
