Almost But Not Quite

A satin miss called hope
beat me up again
and flew out the window
those golden wings flew
far beyond my reach and i was grasping
at feathers on the floor
almost, almost but not quite
almost, almost but not quite
but not quite
no tourniquet this is the derby
they don't shoot those horses anymore
give me the pink one please
push the needle in
and let me go
almost, almost but not quite
almost, almost but not quite
but not quite
maybe there's still time
maybe there's still time
maybe there's still time
but i don't think so
no i don't think so
almost, almost but not quite
almost, almost but not quite
but not quite

Counting Days

i write from solitary
dear friends and neighbors
i know i've done wrong
i know i have sinned before but
this crime, this crime was not mine
not mine alone
i am counting days
123456
you are sleeping safe
safe in your easy chair
wait....
you've got the wrong girl
your bell will toll and she'll find out
just what you are
it's gonna hurt
i hope i get to watch it
crash down
crash down
your house of cards
i am counting days
123456
you are sleeping safe
safe in your easy chair
wait....
you've got the wrong girl
don't think for one dark moment
that i'll forget....
no, you've got the wrong girl

History of Violence

i need a soothing, a little cooling
my blood is hot and no you wouldn't like me
when i'm angry
come out of hibernation
better wake up soon if you know what's good for you
i don't know what i'm feeling
but i feel it's danger, dangerous
i've got a history
i've got a history of
violence
violence
violence
can't take it back, you
can't push the undo
just step aside or you'll see something
you won't soon forget
is it the moon, i don't know why
this fever's escalating
all systems overloaded
the safety's off, i'm cocked and ready
i've got a history
i've got a history of
violence
violence
violence
don't touch me, i can't feel you
just let me be
you've woken the monster
sleeping in me
i've got a history of
you've got a history of
we've got a history of
violence
violence
violence
violence
all systems overloaded

See me here
with my hands up hands up
waiting for a benediction
a little sympathy from you
would you try to talk me down
or pull me back from the edge
protect me from the worst of myself
no i think you
i think you would let me fall
you would let me fall
high and dry
still i'm soaking wet
blank cold stare
while i lie in torment
what are you made of
are you forged from bethlehem steel
indifferent to the world
are you laughing on the inside
will you feel nothing
when you watch me watch me fall
when you watch me fall
horse fury
i'm drowning
you don't care at all
you don't care at all

Suicide Pilot
04:49
|
|||
|
all alone in a dying world
fell to earth like a suicide pilot
how do you sleep?
tell me how
do you sleep?
seems so strange
like it happened to someone else
could have been in a parallel universe
how do you sleep?
tell me how
do you sleep?
how do you live
how do you breathe
how do we share the same air
how did it feel
to twist the knife
and get away with murder
with murder
all alone in a dying world
fell to earth
like a suicide pilot
like a suicide pilot
like a suicide pilot

darling hide your eyes
dont' resist, no need to fight
best to go to sleep
forget all your programming
and never dream again
no never dream again
oh the beauty
the beauty and the despair
the despair
don't trust your heart
don't trust your eyes
your feelings betray you
we'll bury them so deep
you'll never be the same
you'll never be the same
oh the beauty
the beauty and the despair

i am a taxidermist
i am a collector
i'll set a trap to catch you
i've assembled quite a gallery
like nothing you've ever seen
it's a thing of beauty
i'm not alone
but it's so quiet
i am surrounded by a
thousand staring eyes
i'm not alone
but it's so quiet
like i like it
i am an artist with a gun
i never leave a mark
don't be afraid you're in good hands
you talk too much
but i've just the thing
to shut you up
you'll look so pretty on my wall
here in my room
you'll be
perfect forever
here in my room
you'll be
with me forever
here in my room
you'll be
perfect forever
here in my room
you'll be
with me forever
with me forever
you are my favorite trophy
i'm not alone but it's so quiet
i am surrounded by a
thousand staring eyes
i'm not a lone but it's so quiet
like i like it
i'm not alone
i'm not alone
i'm not alone

Rewind
03:58
|

|
come on run faster
you're falling off my mark
i know this feeling
we've been here before
thirty steps backward
every time we move ahead
can't understand this
disconnection
you say i take it too hard
when we stop when we start
you say i push too far
well i don't know how
to rewind
i don't know how to rewind
didn't mean to scare you
suffocate you with my love
come up for air
and listen, listen
this thing is fragile
it's pushed us way too thin
you have to choose which
way it goes now
you say i take it too hard
when we stop when we start
you say i push too far
well i don't know how
to rewind
i don't know how
all the cards are
on your table
don't say the words
if you don't mean it
if you don't mean it
you say i take it too hard
when we stop when we start
you say i push too far
well i don't know how
to rewind
i don't know how
don't say the words
if you don't mean it
if you don't mean it

Scarlet Season Seattle, Washington
"Seattle’s Scarlet Season is a one-woman show.... From Tori Amos-like piano balladry to chattering electronics and wounded
animal cries that recall Bjork, the record runs a musical and emotional gauntlet likely to appeal to fans of Florence and The Machine and Bat For Lashes among others."
- Craig Dodge Lile, My Old Kentucky Blog
