  Bottle my grief, let it sail the seven seas I sink my teeth in your peace, I don't like what I see Comb through the ashes that paved my roads I'm wretched enough to live through the crescendo I'm your last American girl Bandaged my heart so I can treat yours What would you give to have lipstick stains On your collarbone, do you know? I'm your last American girl Wartime affairs are the only love you can afford What would you give to have lipstick stains On your collarbone, do you know? Do you want another sleepless night On a mattress made of stone and lies Sink into the dust and boil in the blood Of the fallen soul you can never let go You and Me, the walking dead running free Catch a thunderbolt, pocket your fears and revolt This might be verbose, but now you know Why the palacial life of a girl is no longer home I'm your last American girl Tell your mother I said hello If your lover finds another kiss to keep Save a single breath and set her free She'll be a...

  When I heard the sixth chime from Big Ben that night I felt a tug on the knot of my corset cutting my breath short of a mile When I showed up to your party as the stain of a lover's past time They said don't forget to keep all of those black tears dry But even if I'd fallen for you Would the cascading oceans drown me too? And if all these valiant stories were true The great masquerade was a party for two Bathed in indigo, I'm your crimson lipped paradise I curse your persistence and your hand on my waistline And its a wonder I waited, burning candles through the night The great masquerade was a party of a lifetime But even if you'd fallen for me Would your quest for peace let mine be? I can't go down without a fight A fools errand is a maiden chance you take to dim this blinding blight But even if this faith is flying free Do you see how it weighs on me? I can't go down without a fight The great masquerade was a party of a lifetime You wouldn't recogni...

  I know it takes two but only I'm left in Essex I had no control over how this doomed crusade ended I guess having half a heart wasn't for the open minded I turned the safety off, left the wound of a scar that never bled When a good soul pulls the trigger The bullet goes through quicker I'll never know the element of distance But I'd cry about it anyway All of my cold repulsions Magnetic interference Was my element of distance But I cried about it anyway They know I love my liquor  Nobody'll love me bitter This push and pull Poisons the lust I conjured They call this love, "disaster" I'll cry about it later I'll take all I wish I could say To the dungeons in my chateau A figure hugs me unprovoked in the shadow of a corner Says "You can unburden half the eyes on you if you undress faster" I can tell that the mystery had you surrounded You suffocated in the stampede of your assumptions When a good soul pulls the trigger The bullet goes thr...

  Tell me why I lost my breath Only half way through the climb Champagne drunk, in my bed Celebrating half a lonely life I recall when the lanterns in my dreams Almost signed a death warrant for me Sailing through the iron blue galaxy Tell me what it takes for someone to want my company And I won't say that I'm better off alone Because I've never known myself to belong But I will say I've been answering to the tug That just wanting can actually be enough I was burning bright Alchemical starlight Falling for possibilities In the center of your chaos I recall when the ashes of a supernova Left me bereft of any kind of feeling Starstruck by the absence of a soul left grieving  Bruised iron blue by the matches of reason And you won't mean much A stranger that I've known too long I have to admit that I've dreamed up half of it But it all comes back to me All I ever wanted was for you to say Something that would would stop me From digging my own grave I recall whe...
