So you want electricity? You want brilliant light? You want dazzling energy? Beautiful, warm and bright? It seems the essence of simplicity But here's a little advice You can have electricity But it comes at a price You want more electricity Than you've already got It makes a warm glow energy You want it burning hot It causes too much pollution And one day it will run out There has to be another solution Of that you have no doubt ----------------------------------------- And yeah that's the riddle When it comes to love It's either something in the middle Or it's more than enough In which case the price is reality Your sanity melts Because you can have electricity But you can have nothing else ----------------------------------------- Because yes, there's another source That'll give you much more It goes much deeper of course But it's unstable to the core And if it gets too close to you It'll sow bad seeds in your soul And make things grow inside of you That you can't control ----------------------------------------- And yeah that's the riddle When it comes to love It's either something in the middle Or it's more than enough In which case the price is your sanity Your harmony melts You can have electricity But you can have nothing else ----------------------------------------- It will cost you your balance And nothing can heal it A feeling so intense You won't be able to feel it So you want electricity My foolish little man Beware of dazzling energy That you don't understand

Tonight I opened up a wound Just to watch it bleed To see where it would lead I double-locked the door And curled up on the floor At first it made me drowsy ----------------------------------------- Tonight I opened the incision Even though I knew The damage it would do I couldn't help myself It wasn't my decision It came from somewhere else An itch I had to scratch A sore I had to pick ----------------------------------------- Tonight I took a nagging ache And made the ache much worse It wasn't a mistake I did the thing on purpose My mind was somewhere else I noticed that my fingers Were rubbing at the skin This strange sensation lingers I'm starting to begin I undo all the stitches I sterilise a needle And then i go to work ----------------------------------------- Tonight I wagered up my soul Surrendered my control And yes I don't need to be told Some needs are best resisted Best left out in the cold But this idea persisted The adrenalin took hold I watched it all unfold That crimson line appears Like ink on paper towel Like in my teenage years But that was to impress And this cut is for real We Hadn't seen each other in years I'd long put it to bed But then it just popped in my head And i just had to know And so ----------------------------------------- Tonight I opened up the wound I let the fluid run Until it was all done And now i feel much better Now the wound can heal

THE MAIDEN caught me in the wild, Where I was dancing merrily; She put me into her Cabinet, And lock’d me up with a golden key. This Cabinet is form’d of gold And pearl and crystal shining bright, And within it opens into a world And a little lovely moony night. Another England there I saw, Another London with its Tower, Another Thames and other hills, And another pleasant Surrey bower, Another Maiden like herself, Translucent, lovely, shining clear, Threefold each in the other clos’d— O, what a pleasant trembling fear! O, what a smile! a threefold smile Fill’d me, that like a flame I burn’d; I bent to kiss the lovely Maid, And found a threefold kiss return’d. I strove to seize the inmost form With ardour fierce and hands of flame, But burst the Crystal Cabinet, And like a weeping Babe became— A weeping Babe upon the wild, And weeping Woman pale reclin’d, And in the outward air again I fill’d with woes the passing wind
