Hauntedness 03:23
All the houses on my block have become ghosts With translucent skin Strings of lights flash from the yard Illuminating hauntedness within The little girl down at the end called Katie She said something and it made me turn my head She said, "Daddy loves those pictures more than Mommy, I wonder if he'd like me more if I looked more like them In clothes of lace and leather," All the houses on my block have become ghosts With translucent skin Strings of lights flash from the yard Illuminating hauntedness within And I can't look at it straight on Mary has new bruises on her body I can't see them but I feel them in her smile I wonder of she names, or even counts them Someone else's ugliness is painted on her frame In shades of black and blue All the houses on my block have become ghosts With translucent skin Clocks talk loudly from the hall Communicating hauntedness within And I can't look at it straight You told me once that all it takes is being human That I am lucky home was somewhere I could always go to dream You reminded me for some home is nothing but a nightmare How were you supposed to learn to be a man From someone who is a monster And I will look at it straight on

"Meow" -Musical Interlude- "Meow" "Down" "Meow" "Hi! You gotta get down, sweetie. And no more ghosts, okay? No more ghosts. I'm here by myself tonight, I can't handle ghosts. No more ghosts, I said!"

Way 51 (free) 04:37
Your eyes trace up and down my skin My meticulous illusion Claim you hold all of my desires But you assume they are human You want to take me home But I'm a stranger here Home is so far away Come close and whisper in my ear Bring my breath heavy to my chest I'll let you touch what you can see My fuel derives from attention Your eyes caress my texture-mapped skin And I see you realize that I'm not quite right But if you really knew how not quite right I am You might, just might, run screaming In the opposite direction But maybe you and I are not so different After all, maybe we're all just trying to find our way home
