Iieee

Complete and utter heartbreak.

"You hear stories about angels that come and save certain people they're beautiful stories. But what about the mother whose kid gets taken away and never comes back? What were the angels smoking when that happened? What do you say? That their kid wasn't worthy? That it's all for the best? Or God has a plan? So these questions, of course, I was putting towards every diety I could find. I was quite vicious, and I think "Cruel" and "Iieee", especially, came out of that. It was almost liberating for me - that it's all in order that I have anger towards the way of things, and just to say, 'Thine will be done' just doesn't work anymore. It's hollow."

- Tori Amos

with your e's and your ease, and I do one more
need a lip gloss boost in your America
is it God's, is it yours, sweet saliva
with your e's and your ease, and I do one more

I know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful?
why does there gotta be a sacrifice?

just say yes
you little arsonist
you're so sure you can save
every hair on my chest
just say yes
you little arsonist

with your e's and your ease, and I do one more
with your e's and your ease, and I do one more

well, I know we're dying
and there's no sign of a parachute
we scream in cathedrals
why can't it be beautiful?
why does there gotta be a sacrifice?
