lyrics

(Your Conscience)
You are what you've done
You are what you've said
You are your past
You'll never get ahead
You are in a cage
you are filled with rage
You're just another singer
Standing on another stage
You are what you hate
You are what you ate
You're everything you said
You never want to be
Somewhere along the line
You truly lost your mind
You can't forgive yourself no matter
How many times you've tried
You are really good
You're a little bad
But the bad that you've had
Makes you sad makes you mad
You are getting ugly
You are getting old
You are getting tired
Of dealing out your soul
You are getting dull
You are getting mean
The mean at the top and the bottom
Crushes the kindness in between
You see it all so clear
Through your clouded eyes
You see God in every face
Behind his disguise

(But Love Says)
you are who you are
who you are, who you are
I am who I was
Now I'm standing in the doorway of life

Magdalena
by merveilleuse

She is a visionary, mad scientist, she creates the music and image with shadows and light. It's lovable and menacing at the same time. Chris Taylor
