Vertigo

Ravens circle overhead,
Keeping me in the dark –
Waiting for my death.
But I'm still here,
Sending notes o'er the sea,
Waiting for your song to answer me,
But it never does.
It's just thrown to the ground. I back it up,
But the ache is turned to lust.
Your hand is reaching through the door,
But I'm lying naked on the floor, alone.

Your voice is in my head again, you know.
Stealing me away to lose control.
I'm breathing in your vertigo.
You're bringing me your vertigo.

These demons come for me at night –
Their talons in my heart,
And voices in my mind.
I still hear them.
But any word you offer me
Might break the spell of my insanity.
Cause I'm coming back for more, it seems.
I'm stuck in twisted fairy tails
And wishing in my broken dreams.
Like fire, buried in the sun –
A sycophant, fishing for your love.
I need seduction!

Never was a gift so cold,
Tracking down those symphonies
You stole from me without a fight.
I was still inside your womb when he caught me up at night,
Where I saw the king of Tyre choking light.

Oh mother, maiden, whore, and valentine.
Mother, maiden, whore, and valentine.
Your voice is in my head you know.
Oh God, you're beautiful.
