Beyond Beyond Beyond - The Crane Wives

This song was written and produced completely in my dorm with a $20 mic. Forgive me for the oddities it causes. 

Background:
And Eve was told not to eat the fruit, because "she would surely die." Instead, she learned information that she was not given before—she gained a power in that sense; she became the apocalypse.  What other powers are women "forbidden" from, all in the name of holiness? Maybe we should take a bite of that apple, feel some warmth from that lit match, explore ourselves, explore each other. They are baptizing the candles of tomorrow: they are snuffing flames. Why? They're scared of the heat we might just bring to the table. Mwah-ha-ha...

I digress... lyrics!!:
baptiser, baptise her, rose water, soft daughter
rectify and sanctify her, hold a moth and let it flutter
Don’t forget to floralize, don’t vocalize the smoke in eyes
Don’t don’t don’t strike.
catchin’ on that distant lie she’s gotta be divine
death-defier hanging on a burning tether line
then line breaks, spine aches, coiled snake, broken rope and Joanie chokes
they hope her perfume’s stronger than the soul

They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
They say temptation be a sin, don’t look any more behind it
That’s just how it is, don’t you dare fight it
They’ll put an apple in your hand but don’t you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don’t you dare light it
Life’s only meant to live, don’t fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive, yeah, that’s how he likes it

Wax-dripper, flame-kisser, lost-livered life giver
Crucify and waterlog the sinner mother, sinner daughter
She could take you by surprise   
Beware the July fire ides
She’s a locked and loaded inferno with underglow she cannot know so drown that power fore it overflows
Sorry man, it’s way to late, her choice is made, the apple’s ate, the candle starts to flicker in a wicked little divine state
Rising and rising, gently respiring

she can’t let the candle burn
She can’t let the candle burn
So they’ve gotta teach her so she knows how to learn
That she can’t let the candle burn

Something Blue - Penelope Scott

Dear God
If you’re really real, then I’m sorry I haven’t reached out in a while
Since I was a child, I’ve been busy, you see, so I
Haven’t had time to seek your company
I was under the impression that you had left
And your death I did grieve
I had simply grown out of the privilege to believe

Dear God
Things have gotten so bad that I’m asking an illusion for a lifeline or two
I thought that I’d be six feet under the ground
Before I would consider ever coming to you
I was under the impression that you had lеft
And your death I did grieve
I had simply grown out of thе privilege to believe
Dear God
I’m not sure if you’re real, but if you’re up there, I have one small request
Since everything else right now is shitty
Could you please cut me some slack?
I’m asking for just one good thing
One good thing

Could you make me famous?
I think that would make me happy, so
Just shower me in compliments
But never get too close
Give me my injection of attention
And just let me overdose
I graduated from law school in the top tier of my class
But I keep getting fired from the places I’m hired
And keeping a job is becoming a pain in the ass

So, God, will you help me pay my rent?
Because it’s three days past the due date, and my grace is almost up
Fuck
Since everything else is such a mess right now
Will you cut me some slack?
I’m asking for just one good thing
One good thing

Dear God
All that I wanna do is to help the people that need me to
The people who cannot defend themselves against this horrible system like others can do
I will be the face of justice
Because my sympathy is too much to bear
I could never grow out of this curse that is to care

(Spoken)
And this is where dialogue happens!
The two main characters, Jack and Cameron, learn from a mutual friend that Lucifer’s Law firm is hiring

(Sung)
That could make me famous!
I think that would make me happy!
So just shower me in compliments, but never get too close
(Think of all the people I could help)
Give me my injection of attention and just let me overdose
(I have never come so close!)

I graduated from law school in the top tier of my class
And I have a suspicion that all my emission is gonna pay off
Gonna pay off
If I ask
(If I ask)
If I beg
(If I beg)
If I pray
(If I pray)
So dear God
Dear God
Dear God
Dear God
