How to Be a Goddess

Underneath the cover
The mask, the makeup
There is Maiden, Mother, Crone
Wanting just to wake up
She is waiting in the night
For the moon to set her right
She is saving up her strength
In case she has to fight
I shout aloud
Out to the crowd
When you face your adversary
Let 'em see that you are fine
It is never necessary
To let 'em pry into your mind
There's always a grip to loosen
There's always an abuser usin'
There's always a serpent somewhere
Squeezing someone else
I sing aloud,
Warrior proud!
Look like you were never rattled
Be the stronger one and let it go
Try not to give into the battle
Don't let your emotion grow
Save your energy
Save your energy
'Cause sometimes you'll need it
When it comes, you'll feel it
The situation will get heated
Be brave, don't be defeated
Some will tell you you're a liar
Some will hit you with a fist
Some will set your soul on fire
Some can kill you with a kiss
You are naive Maiden
You are protective Mother hen
You are wise Old Woman
Don't forget you are the triple threat!

On My Toes

I am on my toes
So I'll always know
When you're tryin' to mess with me
You're testing me
Your game always shows
I follow my nose
And I can smell your bullshit from
Two states away
...
Shut up!
Am I trying
To take all the world?
I have no reason
To want that much,
I don't want it
You are too crazy
Leave me alone
Don't you come around,
You stay put now
I don't want your so-called help
Anymore
Have I taken
More than you gave out
I always never asked,
I never led you on
You psycho!
I am on my toes
So I'll always know
When you're trying to mess with me

The Insect

Fade out, little star
Your days are through
Unwind, little spring
There's nothing more you can do
Wither away to nothing,
'Cause nothing is what you are to me
Die down, fall hard
You're just another insect in my world of pain
Uncoil, vicious snake
No one ever threatened you
Settle down, wild horse
Or you will be hurting too
Wither away to nothing
'Cause nothing is what you are to me
Die down, fall hard
You're just another insect in my world of pain

Assassins

I know where I am going
I know where I'm wanted to be
I hear that a future is calling
I hear what will become of me
I will be a part of something greater than myself, I know it
I will take the shadow so that you can keep your light
There are those that will oppose and try to pull me down
And wreck my life
But I...
Repel
Their spell
I know what I need to be doing
Can't stop or I'll never survive
The sequence is to keep me from falling
Assassins want to take it from me
Repel
Their spell
I'm getting more resistant, more defiant, less compliant
'Cause oh, some awful souls have nearly killed me thrice before
Oh, they tried to take away my voice and leave me with no choice
But to sink into hate's abyss
Will they succeed?
Will they ruin me?
No they won't
Will they succeed?
Will they destroy me?
Not if I
Repel
Their spell

Psycho
04:24

|
Do you think I'm a psycho?
Do you think I'm a nerd?
Well, why aren't you with me?
Am I really so absurd?
Run for your life
Run for your life
I might infuse into you
Tell me why you need her
Is there something I don't see?
Just once, when you kissed her,
Did you pretend it was me?
Run for your life
Run for your life
I might seduce you
Run for your life
Run for your life
I might infuse into you
It's getting late
Fear I might disintegrate
When I take to flight
I seem to find my way into your night
(I will hunt you)
(I will get you)
I will seduce you
I will seduce you
I will infuse into you
I will seduce you

If you want me
I am yours indefinitely
If you ask me
I will go quietly
Take time to heal the winter I begin feel
What will be will be
As summer has its turn upon the wheel
What we have here
Is far too large to ignore
I'm in heaven
You're truly what I'm looking for
In every sense of those words
Straight from a dream
Who knew that it was always you and me?
If you leave me
Please be nice on your way out
I'll take time to heal the winter I'll begin to feel
But what is bound to be will be
As summer has its turn upon the wheel
In every sense of these words
In every sense of these words

War Criminals
04:13
|

|
Do you think I don't see what you do?
Do you think that no one's watching you?
Everything you tell me isn't true, no
I know you don't know, you are lying
War criminal
In this waking hour
Subliminal dominion over me
Criminal
We are onto you
Oh, criminal many
Everything that you're not telling
Could've saved some lives
We're angry, we're thinking
If we try to name it we're insane
In zombie eyes
War criminals
So many
You're going to fall
Cronies and all
Watch it all go down
In the flames of your own war
On food, on fuel, on women,
On freedom, and expression
(Do you think we don't see what you do?)
(You must think that no one's watching you)
No war, no war, no war,
Anymore, anymore, anymore
War criminal in this woken hour
Subliminal dominion over me
Criminal
We are onto you
Oh, criminal many

What's that odd sound?
I'm alone, all alone
No one else is in here
No one is around
Then what do I hear?
And why am I cold?
I feel no draft
In here
I hear footsteps with dragging feet
No, no I don't
I'm not insane, I swear I hear it
No one, no one is around
No one human
No one that human eye can see
And it just went cold
Right here
Is this place haunted
I'm not insane
I know I hear it
There is something on another plane

Try one more time, try to fall
I won't catch you
Drive one more spike through the wall
To forget you
Rewind, delete, redo
Undoing you, erasing you
I reverse the curse you had on me
It's as if I never let you into my skin
I'm disarming all your charms
And raising the alarm
You can't do anyone no harm anymore
Bring one more down, you will get caught
You'll be found out
So breathe the free air
'Cause it's your last for a long time
Rewind, delete, redo
Undoing you, erasing you
I release the threat you were to me
And I forgive the pain that led me to your hand
Once again I mind red flags
This time I give a shit
I'm taking my life back
And when I sing, I won't do it before you
And if I scream, I'm not doin' it for you
I take a cleansing breath of how life was before you
And when I breathe out I exhale you into exile
I reversed the curse you had on me
It's as if I never let you into my skin
I've disabled all your charms
And sounded the alarm
You can't do anyone no harm
Anymore
