Never Know Me

You wanna know what makes me weary?
What makes my eyes all teary?
What went wrong?
I’ve got so many songs
But when I speak you just watch my mouth move
Wonder what else it might do
You’ll never know me
You’ll never know me
I am just what you see
I am just what you see
You wanna make it better
Wanna make me feel good
You wanna make it better
Wanna make me feel good?
But when I speak you just watch my mouth move
Wonder what else it might do
You’ll never know me
You’ll never know me
I am just what you see
I am just what you see
Do you see how that’s insulting?
Do you see how that’s insulting?
Look me in the eyes
Tell me
Do you understand?
You’ll never know me
You’ll never know me
I am so happy that you’ll never have me

Annie
03:24
|

|
I’m feeling quite gentle
So I have to say this now
Before it leaves me and my mask assumes itself
I hate to say but I’m living in cliches
“I wish it was different”
“I wish it was different”
I don’t think badly of you
But I’m terrified of what this might mean
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Oh, sweet Lord
Tell me what it means
Tell me what it means
I want to be angry
I don’t want it to be true
But you must know my Annie
I really could have loved you
I really could have loved you
I really could have loved you

Marguerite's Novels

I want to slow dance
To my grave won’t you
Please, please take me there?
Inside your embrace
I will find the peace
I’ve been denied my whole life
But it’s not about you
Don’t you get confused
I have too much sorrow
I want to go away
Make me into a poem
Beautifully ravaged
Like Marguerite’s novels
Like Marguerite’s novels
Like Marguerite’s novels
If you take me
I won’t make you
Stay by my side
So, if you wanted
Me to leave
Now, here’s your time
Take my body
Made by mommy
I never wanted it
I want to go away
Make me into a poem
Beautifully ravaged
Like Marguerite’s novels
Like Marguerite’s novels
Like Marguerite’s novels

Coming Home

I’m coming home to see yah
It’s been quite awhile
Last time wasn’t so great
It’s okay, yeah that’s alright
I never did quite get to know yah
I never did quite get to know yah
You’re sending me songs in the mail
Yeah, I don’t know what to say
Wish this would have come a bit earlier
Sometimes I wonder if you just got some sleep
If you would have been a little bit nicer to me
I never did quite get to know yah
I never did quite get to know yah
I’m coming home to see yah
It’s been quite awhile
Last time wasn’t so great
It’s okay, yeah that’s alright
I never did quite get to know yah
I never did quite get to know yah
Want to forgive you for what was done
But that conversation just doesn’t sound fun
I worry about what I don’t remember
Yeah, what else to feel guilty for
And would I end up back on the floor?
Thought this is what I wanted
To always be away
But you keep on getting smaller and I don’t like the change
Thought this is what I wanted
To always be away
But you keep on getting smaller and I don’t like the change
So, I’m coming home to see yah
It’s been quite awhile
Last time wasn’t so great
It’s okay, yeah that’s alright
I never did quite get to know yah
I never did quite get to know yah
I never did
I never did
I never did
I never did quite get to know yah

Strange Actress
04:47
|
|||
|
I tried to convince myself
It’s too nice in the sun
To stay in your shade
Another could love me through my bones
Oh, what shame
I fear I shall always want you
Boy,
Call me an actress
You know I come when I’m called
Isn’t that despicable?
Isn’t that despicable?
Just say my name
Just say my name
You could peel the fingernails
From my flesh
I’d smile the whole time
Just to feel your touch
You tell me all the time, I know
You think I’m very strange
But the way I live makes sense to me
I think I’ll stay the same
Boy,
Call me an actress
You know I come when I’m called
Isn’t that despicable?
Isn’t that despicable?
Just say my name
Just say my name
Just once
Just once
I wanna be the only one
Call me an actress
You know I come when I’m called
Isn’t that despicable?
Isn’t that despicable?
Just say my name
Just say my name
Just once
Just once

Your Pussycat
03:10
|
|||
|
You gotta know I love you
I’d put poison in your pie
If you asked me too
I’m still covered in bruises
I know that you like
How I like
How your teeth feel
On me on me on me
And now that I’ve got you
Don’t go
You could be the one who stays
You could be the one
I’ll be your pussycat
Would you like that?
I’ll be your pussycat
I’m still so young
So, I don’t know much
But I know I like your mouth
And the mark on your nose
Dance with me
Hold me close
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
And now that I’ve got you
Don’t go
You could be the one who stays
You could be the one
I’ll be your pussycat
Would you like that?
I’ll be your pussycat

Was I Ever
04:51
|
|||
|
I have always relied
On fathers, on their lies
Lead me astray
Oh, I don’t mean to blame
Just present some honesty
For somebody else like me
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
I feel so different
Like something has shifted
The child has left me
Or was I ever one
Oh was I ever one?
I believed in Jesus
In the promise land
Maybe he’s out there, the great man
Please take me, I’m just a little lamb
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
Don’t listen
I feel so different
Like something has shifted
The child has left me
Or was I ever one?
Oh was I ever one?
My mama told me
I knew it’d be harder
Harder than it seems
Oh, was I ever one?
Oh, was I ever one?

I just wanted to know
I just wanted to know
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?
I watched your nose
To be sure of your gaze
I watched your nose
To be sure of your gaze
Did you ever love me?
I want to know
Did you ever love me?
You can say no
But, I watched your nose
To be sure of your gaze
But, I watched your nose
To be sure of your gaze
So
Did you
Did you
Did you

Been calling out to you
For so long
Funny, I thought I heard you calling too
But I was wrong
I’m so let down, you know
I’m tired of being wrong
Sick of the late night thrills
That leave me more alone
Oh, no
Did you mean it?
The night? The doorstep? Did you mean it?
Cause I didn’t forget it
You beast
How could you be so careless with me?
Oh, no
I may always be this
Silly little girl just looking for a home
I’m so tired of stumbling around this cold city
Just looking for a home
I just want to know and be known
I can’t do it on my own
You are but a symbol in my life now
You are something that happened to me
You are but a symbol in my life now
You are something that happened to me
Goodbye, sweet memory

To Be Vast
03:36
|
|||
|
Do you fear how you might seem?
Do you fear what you might be?
I’m withering in the light of the truth
But it feels so good to see
Oh, I wanna put my head down
Oh, I wanna put my head down
In this body I am contained
But I don’t think I quite fit
To be vast is painful, too
I can’t wait to escape
Oh, I wanna put my head down
Oh, I wanna put my head down
