You taste like Heaven, but God knows you’re built for sin

It’s been the longest timeSince I’ve been in this place,Where I spend my whole dayHoping I’ll see your face.Then I script things to say,And maybe what you’d say back.You don’t know it yet,But, girl, it’s...

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart

Now this might disturb you, but I find I’m OK by myself;and I don’t need you or your benevolence to make sense.

Life is a pigsty.

In the land of Gods and MonstersI was an AngelLiving in the garden of evilScrewed up, scared, doing anything that I neededShining like a fiery beaconYou got that medicine I needFame, Liquor, Love give it...

You can dance. You can make me laugh.You’ve got x-ray eyes. You know how to sing. You’re a diplomat. You’ve got it all. Everybody loves you. You can charm the birds out of the sky,...

Oh darkness, I feel like letting go.

If you feel so emptySo used up, so let downIf you feel so angrySo ripped off so stepped onYou’re not the only oneRefusing to back downYou’re not the only oneSo get up

When something’s fallen apart as many times as usI can’t put it back together, it’s not the same

I have my booksAnd my poetry to protect me;I am shielded in my armor,Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.I touch no one and no one touches me.I am a rock,I am an island.

Hield ‘ie vroeger al zijn meningen en al zijn dromen stil. Nu was ‘ie niks niet niemand nergens meer. Kan dus gaan waar ‘ie maar wil.

Danger, Danger running cold Knowing but fearing just the same Death comes and yet you don’t let go Standing while it’s steel bands hold Don’t walk. Don’t walk where light can not shine You know the warning has been told It...

A steampunk nationBaby pollution rises up then the loving comes arraigning ’causeOur art’s official and only partially artificialAnd our heart’s in the middle of sharp hardened shards of metal butThere’s not where it settlesBecause it’s...

Gute Reise, Gute Reise.Ein Jahr vergeht wie ein Moment.Und komm gesund zurück.Gute Reise, Gute Reise.Keine Grenze, die uns trennt.Und komm gesund zurück, komm gesund zurück.

Say my name and his in the same breath. I dare you to say they taste the same.

But I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head, like a face that I hold inside, face that awakes when I close my eyes, face that...

I am human and I need to be loved,just like everybody else does.

It’s so shameful of me: I like you.

You can’t take the sky from me.

it’s ok to say you’ve got a weak spot,you don’t always have to be on top.Better to be hated then loved(x3) for what you’re not.

It’s really important that my lyrics are truthful.

a foreign affair juxtaposed with a statesideand domestically approved romantic fancy is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing it will only be parlayed into a memory

Funny, cute and kissableI’ve found a girl that makes me lose controlEvery night’s like the first nightNever gettin’ old

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

It’s not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.

Opportunities may come along for you to convert something -something that exists into something that didn’t yet. That might be the beginning of it. Sometimes you just want to do things your way, want to...

ruined” by bad words — my own and others. In Beyonce’s song “Irreplaceable,” she rhymes “minute” with “minute,” and I cringe every time I hear it (partly because by that point I’m singing along). On...

When there’s music in your soul, there’s soul in your music.

There’s a girl in this dress,there’s always a girl in distress.

We may be lost stars in an ocean of constellations on a dark night but do remember we both belong to the same sky. I breathe the same air that you breathe, we both look...

To me you are a work of art, and I would give you my heart – that’s if I had one.

There are some bad people on the rise;they’re saving their own skins by ruining people’s lives.

Whoa, you got my head in the cloudsWhoa, you got me thinking out loudThe more you dream about me the more I believeThat nothing’s ever out of reachSo dream, dream, dream

I didn’t have a heart until I meet you.That smile is killin me too.I can’t look away.Can I always stay?I can’t look away.I need to stay.I didn’t have a heart until I meet you.

Oh the wonders of being married. Put a gun in one hand and a woman in the other, I’m never sure who’s going to kill me first.

I got my motorcycle jacket but I’m walking all the time.

By the way, listening back to things we are doing and looking through the lyrics today and stuff, it feels like we are finally getting somewhere. There are lots of songs. Too many to get...

This is how it works: you’re young until you’re not. You love until you don’t, you try until you can’t, you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh. And everyone must breathe until...

You drew a bird that was here, a kind of sweet chanticleer. But with a terrible fear that the cage couldn’t tame

You used to get it in your fishnetsNow you only get it in your nightdressDiscarded all the naughty nights for niceness……Remeber when the boys were all electric?

God, I want to dream again, take me where I’ve never been! I want to go there, this time I’m not scared! Now I am unbreakable, it’s unmistakable! No one can touch me, nothing can...

You are my world, my everything You stupid girl, you’re gonna be the death of me So let me go, just let me be You stupid girl, I love the way you’re killing me (killing...

Your life is a movie. You are the main character. You say your scripts and act to your lines. Of course you do your lines in each scene. There is a hidden camera and a...

Heart beats fast Colors and promises How do be brave How can I love when I’m afraid To fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt Suddenly goes away somehow One step closer...

I was wasting my time, praying for love.For a love that never comes, from someone who does not exist.

We hate it when our friends become successful.

Lo que yo quiero, corazón cobarde,es que mueras por mí.Y morirme contigo si te matasy matarme contigo si te mueresporque el amor cuando no muere mataporque amores que matan nunca mueren.

Take all of your wasted honorEvery little past frustrationTake all of your so-called problems,Better put ’em in quotations

I try to focus on the melodies and try to make everything else minimal. The melody and the lyrics are most important to me.
