Rolling like a storm upon the sea
Little ball of fury headed straight at me
I'm safe from harm
But I bear the scars
My bête noire
My shining star

The night starts to fade
But you're blazing bright as day
The mask slips away
That grin upon your face

A light amid the dark
An arrow to my heart
Makes me come alive then pull myself apart
Let me drink it up
From your broken cup
One day I've come to life, the next I'm cracking up
My bête noire
My shining star

Spinning in an hourglass endlessly
Little sawn-off devil bearing down on me
She lifts the cup
I drink it up
My bête noire
My shining star

The night starts to fade
But you're blazing bright as day
The mask slips away
That grin upon your face

A light amid the dark
An arrow to my heart
Makes me come alive then pull myself apart
Let me drink it up
From your broken cup
One day I've come to life, the next I'm cracking up

Well, here I go
A sailboat in a whirlpool
Heading for the undertow
So it goes
A sparrow in a whirlwind
Bracing for the final blows

My bête noire
My shining star

Shrieking Violets
