Mantis - Lia HIde
How long can anyone fall?
I try to pick me up
Hello, why aren't you near me?
How long? Why aren't you here?
And I...
Hello. Darling, you're him
I try, so much to love me
Go back, back to your family
Go home, where you belong
And I...
Try walking in you sleep
(Hello? Is anyone there?)
Try holding on to nothing
(Someone? to walk here, beside me?)
Try keeping up my speed
(How long, when were you last near me?)
Try treating me like I do
(I long to own me some time)
And I.
Hello, it's almost time now
Go back, the sun going down
How long, do I need to beat to
Go back, please go home

This New Thing Called Honesty - Lia Hide
I can see a dead man sleeping on my door step facing the ground
Every single morning
Dead birds cloak him up with leaves he don't make a sound
Every single morning
Deadly poison in my lungs I choke and I drown
Every single morning
Dead meat nests inside my womb I don't even frown
And every single day
I walk, walk, walk, hold on, hold on
Every single day
I walk, walk, walk, hold on, hold on
Every single morning I hold on
Let's try this new thing called honesty
Black birds fly, rain shadows on a rainbow sky
I will take your word for it and I won't worry I won't make a sound
And every single morning
I won't even have to worry if you leave me alone
And every single morning
Dead birds won't come to my window bearing my crown
Every single morning
Dry my tears, hang by my pillow marry the ground.
And every single day
I'll walk, walk, walk, hold on, hold on
Every single day
I walk, walk, walk, hold on, hold on
Every single morning I hold on
Let's try this new thing called honesty
Black birds fly, rain shadows on a rainbow sky
I walk, walk, walk, hold on, hold on
Let's try this new thing called honesty

Dig Apple! - Lia Hide
Love is a girl, she lived on my floor and you laid on top of her
Love is a bed, unsure and unmade, legs open wide
Love is all lust, I've covered with rust my thighs and my elbows
Love is a plane, so call me insane, I'll board and I'm gone
Love is a word that's often misheard that dines with my anger
Love is a sword, religious and bold, that tortures the weak
Love is a drill, you shoot and you kill, you learn to dispose of
Love is a year a monthly long fear, and intimate wish, so
Hop on my big apple, c'mon run away in the city with me
Run away to the sky, run away to the ceiling
Love is a toy, that looks like a boy, that laughs at my wrinkles
Love is a gift, a finger, a kiss, me laid on my back
Love is an apple, gold, and I suck on its poisonous flesh,
Now I grow dim, now I grow less, I'm dying I guess
Hop on my big apple, c'mon run away in the city with me
Run away to the sky, run away to the ceiling
Apples are red, lie on the bed, right here beside me
Apples are green, I miss your chin, your eyes
Apples are blue, I'm feeling blue, I'm being lonely
Apples are black, you're back, with her
Apples are red, I burned our bed, I'm sorry
Apples are green, I'm being mean, you lied
Apples are gold, I'm feeling bold, I'll make it without you
Apples are white, tonight, I don't care
Apples are red, what If I said I'm sorry
Apples are green, I didn't mean a word

St. Bastard The Coward - Lia Hide
St. Bastard went away on his wedding day
Like it were his any old day
He pretend to bleed
Then St. Bastard made a list of everyone straight
Then he hid his way in the hay
He began to need
Would you make this all truth, or nay?
Tell me, would you follow him at all?
St. Bastard woke up feeling ugly that day
Had his dinner in an ashtray
Then he had some weed
His girl, his will, his pill all traveled airway
He was free to fuck and to play
Insatiable greed
Would you make this all truth, or nay?
Tell me, would you step into his floor
Would you make this all truth, or nay?
Tell me, would you feel for him at all?
St. Bastard died last night I heard on airplay
Everyone was saddened that day
I didn't shed a tear
St. Bastard wrote down things all ugly and grey
Filled me with his lies and betray,
You bet I'm kind of queer
St. Bastard summered in me beautiful prey
Took me to Milan and Pompeii
Took me to the Mall
He made my days a living horror per se
He would have his will everyday
Up against the wall
Adieu, baby so long, farewell,
Baby, I do, love to see you fall.

The Art Of Falling Is Hard To Master - Lia Hide
I get up then I fall then I hurt me on the go
I don't kneel, I don't crawl, but I fall, I fall, I fall
When you bleed would you believe, that it's always all on me?
But I go although It is more than I should know
If I lie to myself, business here, in my shell
If I wronged you I confess, beat me up and down my chest

Johnny and I - Lia Hide
Johnny where's your guitar?
Do you know he can't breathe? Won't you dig a hole in the window?
Darling, don't run he can't go far
Did anybody tell you, you look well to me for a weirdo?
C'mon, I know you like me in your car
So lay on the back seat and lower down the window
I'll get the wine and caviar
There's no need to speed it's just you and me in the willow
Johny don't go, I beg you lure away the snow
We'll watch the flowers grow by my window
Johny don't need, I beg you don't don't bleed
I'll be all the lush you need while the wind blow
Johnny c'mon play the guitar
While everybody's looking back to see their own shadow
I'll get the shovel, you sip your cigar
Show me where to bring his bones back from the barrel
Kiss me again, then kiss me twice
I love it when you roll your tongue around my finger
I want the lamb and sacrifice
I love it when you lure me in, when you linger
Johnny don't go, I beg you lure away the snow
We'll watch the flowers grow by my window
Johny don't kneel, I beg you don't don't bleed
I'll be all the lush you need while the wind blow
Johnny don't go, I beg you lure away the snow
We'll watch the flowers grow by my window
Johny don't kneel, I beg you don't don't bleed
I'm sure you don't want me to be your widow

Last Night I Dreamt You Died - Lia Hide
Last night I dreamt you died
My dog wept, my pillow cried
I called my mom, she sighed,
She said: "love, all things aside,
He was not yours to keep;
You knew that all alone my dear
You're not meant to succeed
You won't be happy till you bleed
So water all your plants
Find things to fix, pay bills pay tax
Until you find yourself
You won't be well with someone else"
Last night I dream you died
My dog wept, my pillow cried
I called your wife she sighed,
She said: "love, all things must die"
Tonight I'll dream you're mine
Your head up on my pillow's side
I called you wife she smiled
She said "love, dreams don't decide"
I want you mine to keep
To honor to protect to shield
What makes your green eyes shine
Will be my bright light in the sky
So water not your eyes
We'll share our bills, we'll pay our tax
Until we're old and grey
That's when we'll rest, that's when we'll lay
Last night I dreamt you died
My dog wept, my pillow cried
I called my mom, she sighed
She said "love, all things must die"

Keeper Of Psalms - Lia Hide
I will walk down the stairs and I'll hold my pillow tight
I will wish I was there to kiss your hand goodnight
I'll be strong everyday but I'll never show my pain
I'll sun you'll be lane but only in pretend
I will go where no one else will go if you go with me
I will light up the stars so you'll safely drive each night
I will lay in your arms I will fake my being alive
I'll be kind I will care but you'll never know I'm there
You'll be king I'll be queen but only in my dream
I will go where no one else would go if you go with me
I will lie to the world and I promise I'll be bold
I will jump off a wall I will kneel and I will crawl
I will hurt I will cry and you'll never know I try
I'll exist in the mist I'll be all we could've missed
I will go where no one else would go if you go with me
