Shoot Me Deep (long version)
Come back and shoot me, shoot me deep again
Come back and shoot me, shoot away my pain
Come back and shoot me, shoot until I'm whole Come back and shoot my soul, shoot my soul
Oh no, this isn't what you think it is Just hear me out, just because it's me You're further through the pain, and it's been tough You're lost and distant, but I tell you this I've listened to your silence long enough Just hear me out, and I'll let you be
Vain as you are, you always wanted me Of course you wanted me, you wanted me To make a song about you, and here it is There's never any need to boost your ego But time has come to let my feelings flow There's zero left to lose, and you should know The things I said I hated, I deeply miss I deeply miss the way you shook my tree
I miss the way you couldn't let me be I miss the way you shot me in the head I miss the way you kicked me out of bed I miss the way your eyes turned crimson red Without your shots, I'm a living dead
Come on and shoot me like you used to do Come on and and shoot me back, back to life Shoot me home and let me land beside you Why don't you heal me like you used to do?
You shot me down, when I left the earth
You shot me up, when I was going under You always had a way to cure my health
Please, come back, my walking wonder
Shoot me, shoot me out of rainy skies
Shoot me, shoot me out of muddy water
Shoot, shoot until I breathe again
God knows there weren't many quiet hours
We slept in cars and climbed forbidden towers Our relation graph was jagged and wild
'Like an ECG' you said and smiled Our marriage was a yearlong slingshot ride
God knows how many times we lived and died
I didn't know if I was up or down
But when I said I wanted out, I lied We made a paradise to call our own And I'm not fit for living on the outside And you're the only soul I've ever known And when you're gone, I get nothing done From dusk til' dawn, I'm orbiting my sorrow
I numb myself, like there's no tomorrow Please, shoot me back into the sun
Come on and shoot me like you used to do Come on and and shoot me back, back to life Shoot me home and let me land beside you Why don't you heal me like you used to do?
You shot me down, when I left the earth You shot me up, when I was going under You always had a way to cure my health
Please, come back, my walking wonder
Shoot me out of rainy skies
Shoot me out of muddy water
Shoot, until I breathe again
Come back and shoot me, shoot me deep again
Come back and shoot me, shoot away my pain
Come back and shoot me, shoot until I'm whole Come back and shoot my soul, shoot my soul

Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven

Now listen up and listen hard
All of heaven must confess
All the angels must confess
God is a goddess, goddess, godess
And we spiral in her honor
We spiral til' the holy end
Don't be scared and don't be shy
Trust our goddess, beyond the sky
If you're dying to light up her halo
You gotta' ride the spiral and let go
Take my hand and spiral now
Our goddess longs to fill your cup
Come on and spiral up, up, up
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven
Don't look back and don't look down
Trust our goddess, til' the holy end
I know your love for her won't bend
I know you're hungry for her light
Trust the spiral, and hold on tight
There's no stairway to her heaven, no There's no spaceship and no easy ride
We gotta' ride the spiral, til' the end
The spiral into heaven burns so bright
Come on, we gotta surf the light
Come on, we gotta' drink her light
Trust our goddess, til' the holy end
If you're dying to ignite her flow
If you're dying to caress her crown
You gotta' kiss the spiral and let go Take my hand and spiral up
Our goddes longs to fill your cup
Come on and spiral up, up, up
Don't let our goddess down, down
Come on and spiral up, up, up
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral from mortality
Spiral from mortality
Spiral from mortality
Spiral to our goddess
Spiral to our goddess
Spiral to our goddess
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven
Spiral to her heaven

Too Many Saints (long version)
Your house has turned into a sanctuary
And to be honest, I find it deeply scary
I can't imagine how you live in here
You seem devoured by a ghostly sphere
You stare right through the naked walls and me
To many halos blind the eyes, I think
You're numb to change and to reality
And there are sain'ts as far as I can see
St. Mary stands beside the kitchen sink
St. Peter stands inside the empty stove
Astatue of St. Joan guards the grove
St. Joseph sleeps inside the hollow tree
And other sain'ts are hidden in the green
I see more sain'ts than I have ever seen You ask me, what do I feel, what do I see?
I see a sea of sain'ts, but it's shallow
I see you hide your head inside a halo
I see a sea of sain'ts, but no honesty
I feel you're slowly dragged away from me And I can't seem to make you understand You hold to many idols in your hand
Too many crucifixes, too many fixes
Too many roses, too many holy poses
Too much white, too much candle light
And too much space to pray your life away
Will harm your being, and you're not whole
Until you know the desert of your soul
Your life's a chain of stations, passions, fashions
Asea of sain'ts can't fill your inner hole
And you can't heal until you learn to cry
But you can't cry until you learn to die
You gotta' listen to me when I say
The time to learn to die is every day
And every angel has a hand of sand
Your head has turned into a citadel
There's something toxic going on in there
I see your earthly heaven turn to hell
You seem to be infected by a spell
