Mandie An interesting and beautiful album. I feel like I'm someplace sometime other than my own reality when I listen. Lovely vocals, catchy sounds Favorite track: The Strange Breed.

I'm not afraid of death but living like dead Your tears taste like rose water If you want a kiss from the angel himself Then you must be willing, one hundred per cent But you don't know what the afterlife holds Cry out in whimpers And this is an ode to angels I'll let out a sigh A tear from the corner of my eye But we both know The angels have gone And they're not coming back No matter how much you Cry and scream and plead and pray And say you won't be bad again //chorus// This is an ode to angels
2.
I stole the tears of a angel Put them on my windowsill in a glass vial I stole the stars and the moon And everyone weeped for eternity And me, I'm a star thief And how my fingers bleed
3.
Locust and Rose went to the cemetery, had a tea party, and danced for money They left that night and got married under the moon and took photos with a polaroid camera They thought it was true love, but it was not that, it was just another adventure
4.
Tender 03:45
Blood is pooling, drying sticky on my thighs I pray for you to come and lick it off and kiss me where I'm tender At first the pain is unbearable But then heaven takes over Little angel, come kiss me on my tender thighs I feel you hurting I want to reach out and hold you, and help you but I can't even help myself I'm drowning in my own body I need to find a home in your lonely souls I fear you'll break me more But I love you so //chorus//
5.
Fragile as Porcelain My dress holds secrets in Stitching together my limbs I sang a hymn And drill holes in my ribs I'm already hollow as it is Pull out my guts and Instead fill me up With wood shavings and cotton wool Play with me like I'm a doll (/Hold me, love me, I'm your doll)
6.
Barbara 03:45
False god, high priest Yetaxa Falls into ruling easily I thought I could change history Barbara, Barbara Barbara, Barbara He knows the truth, he tries to poison me I'll make him drink it too I know I'm not the one who I said But tell a soul and you'll end up dead //chorus// All I wanted was to stop the sacrifice But you can't change and entire civilisation And my beloved killed a man
7.
Make me into a doll Bury me whole My laugh is not my own I'm just a ghost Grey and old We were never cool, Dancing beneath the stars and the moon We are a strange breed Pale babies, Bruised and glittering We were never cool, Dancing beneath the stars and the moon
8.
The graves they sing me to sleep They only let rotten little girls like me Dance among the trees Welcome to the Rotten Little Girls Club Reserved only for the most rotten little girls Living for nobody but me Don't seem to be doing that either really And when there's nothing left What's the meaning? //Chorus// Just floating around like a ghost Dismembered from my body One day we'll meet my friend Until then, let's be as rotten as can be //Chorus//
9.
Always on the road Always spilling blood You're my brother And you're the only one left I know I've done some bad things and I'm sorry Let's keep fighting the good fight Fighting the good fight No matter how questionable our morality has become
10.
Bruise your legs, skin your knees Break your fingers, pierce the skin Pull your hair out of the follicles Tomorrow you'll be all black and blue This machine has a devil inside The voice in my mind is getting tired You don't want to know what goes on in this head I'm surprised I haven't drawn blood yet Tender legs and knees Threatening words and faulty screens
11.
Afterlife 02:47
When you're dead, there's nowhere left to go No heaven or hell, just soil and clouds You're just trapped in the ground Your body infested with new life And it's almost a comfort Knowing there's no more sorrow The dead no longer cry You won't feel anything The only ghosts reside in your mind No sunken bodies left to find They're all immersed in cold damp dirt The voice still haunts and you still hurt And it's almost a comfort It's almost a comfort...
