Tongue in Cheek
i'm the wound in your mouth
you'll always keep around
tongue in your cheek
i'm all that you need
i'll cut you with my days
you take the edge off, i'll say
don't fall for me
that's your move, i'll leave
but i'm everything that you'd kill to be
and in your eyes i find no trace of me
so you'll fill my time
while i drain your life
dying for what you can't bring to life
i'll teach you to close your eyes
you've got your faith to get you by
but leave it at my door
and on the living room floor
where i peel back your skin
tear you open, breathe you in
and we did nothing wrong
but now you need me and i'm gone
and i'm everything that you'd kill to be
and in your eyes i find no trace of me
so you'll fill my time while i drain your life
dying for what you can't bring to life
but you're everything that i'd kill to be
because in your eyes i find no trace of me
but you filled my time
while i drained your life
died for what you couldn't bring to life
My Fathers' Daughter
i am my fathers' daughter
full of detached emotion
a poor excuse for a martyr
thrashing forward with the motions
so i sold my soul to jesus
to keep from falling down
'cause, lord, i knew i was lost
but, christ, that wasn't how to be found
and i wanted to be
everything you could have hoped for
everything you could have dreamed
but i never could be
all of the ways i knew i wasn't
all of the lies i tried to believe
they weren't me
i turned sixteen in the summer
the year i learned my fate
why the curves on my face
didn't spell out my name
but i didn't want to hurt her
didn't want to sew that scarlet letter
but i pull the needle through
'cause i can't let go of you
and i wanted to be
everything you could have hoped for
everything you never dreamed
and what a shock to me
stripped without all my efforts
you and you and you still loved me
i am my fathers' daughter
full of detached emotion
Bodies
i've got all my feelings and thoughts
locked in my neglected heart
can't share them with nobody
so i'll cross my legs and learn my lines
sit up straight and do my time
while i'm waiting for somebody
to save me from my hidden hell
it's you tonight but i can tell
you could be anybody
lay down on the kitchen floor
give it all, and i'll need more
but i'm taking only your body
and she don't kiss right
but she holds me so tight
so i won't go home tonight
and he makes it alright
but only in the moonlight
so i can't go home tonight
tonight
he takes on all my fears
till all his hopes have disappeared
a shell of a body
so i'll trade my hands for steady ones
take on legs that don't need to run
inside of her body
oh, my habits are catching up
i smoke too much, don't eat enough
but i'm not my body
i feel the beating slowing down
muscles loose, a final bow
i am leaving my body
ooo
she don't kiss right
but she holds me so tight
so i won't go home tonight
and he makes it alright
but only in the moonlight
so i won't go home tonight
mmm
