If I had a million I know that I'd be free
said the ugly voice inside of thee
Or if you hit the big time girl
well maybe then they'd see
that there's something beautiful in thee
Something that's so beautiful, it's spiritual
it's animal, it's anything it needs to be
It's raven clawed, it's tentacled
it's writhing on its pedestal
unfolding inside of thee
When I took a moment
just to watch you on your stage
you're a child that dances 'round its grave
I hide behind the candle
in the corner of the room
and I try to dream us far away
'cause I don't want to see you
in a state of feigned relations
bending holy to stranger's smiles
For soon there'll come a night
your golden light will turn against you
you'll be pulled to the other side
If they lived forever still
they'd never live to see
all the pain that's there inside of thee
If they'd turn the lights out here
then everyone agrees
that there's something wrong inside of me
It butterflies in faces
then goes fluttering cross stages
orchestrating the coming days
So gather 'round my childhood friends
we all know how the story ends
so nobody turn the page. . . .
