Angel 03:33
I've seen your face in the dark red room When the stars are bled of light I've seen your sex through the bedroom door That you left open wide I've seen you lose Every time At your favorite game I've seen the widows laugh And I've seen you take the blame Now sing the choirs of pornography I am not your angel You are not my tragedy Sing the lust and the sacrament Cry out to heaven and ask for your punishment Replace with steel the heart that she knows will crack She pulled the knives from the holes in her back Ring on her finger Finger on the trigger She said she'd rather die than live another day a victim She cut through the flesh To pay her debts She spit into the fire and the dust and the insects The pain the same as a thousand times before Your virgin daughter Sent to fight your fucking war

She drinks tequila in some corner of this world Drunk on synthesis And 1980s girls She thinks it's strange So much has changed She can't say why But we all know love can change you Yes we all know love has changed you She says, "Don't be a stranger, You know that it's better To break our hearts Than to have nothing at all" But she wants you You know that she haunts you There's nothing you can say To dissuade her now She found a god beneath the dust and my dirty nails She found the devil in the wires and details Her skin connects The loss and sex The pain defined By the sluts and saints that love you All the sluts and saints They love you

Slice into my switchblade mouth With your lips for the first time Fuck me like the angel that you can never be Nothing so pure No heaven so sweet Lie so still like an insect waiting Lie like you believe that the angels don't hate you Lie so still Your eyes like diamonds Metal and latex Broken nails Cut into my mouth, honey One last time Carve into your heart Carve into your face Carve it with the cross, honey One last time Faith Love Torture Scissors in your mouth Give me your hand and I'll stick this needle through Play the princess I'll play the scarecrow Take all of my scars And give them back to you Fuck me like the angel that you can never be The white And the crimson And depravity Desiccation Evisceration Faith Love Torture This doesn't have to mean anything I never dreamed I'd be on your cross I never asked to be sacred Now I will be your most perfect loss Kiss my perfect switchblade mouth

Swan 04:47
The sky went red And dripped into my mouth No reason to be pure No angels in this town Play my game Lay down your tears Lay down your pain No need for it here Play my game Wear my ring Take my hand Be my suicide queen Dive with me Your hands adorned with scars Dive with me Like a swan Like the swan you are

about

Suicide Queen Los Angeles, California

“Suicide Queen is the ritual of turning pain into power. Every slamming drum, every pounding note, and every horrid shriek is part of a ceremony, a new revelation ushered in by deafening noise. It is loud, it is wicked, and it is not kind. In the twin shadows of heartbreak and death, in the absence of salvation, lie sound and sickening fury." ... more
