    I am kind of in love Matt Corby at the moment. If you choose to listen to the song, I recommend skipping to about 45 seconds in. It is worth it.

    Sleep now under my skin,
    Make sure you’ll try to
    Conjure the wind, and ease my mind

    Somebody call out to your brother
    He’s calling out your name
    Hiding under the covers
    With no one else to blame
    You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
    You couldn’t tell it to his face
    You were fucked up by the blame

    You cower in the corner
    Confide in your father
    Let it out and say
    Let it pass away

    Wait there
    Pull yourself out of this state dear
    Acknowledge you were a fake here
    From there on you might just grow

    I can’t see. Nothing. I awaken and I can’t see an Arien thing. Not even a hint of light. Where the fuck am I? I try to move and find my wrists bound, ankles too. Gravity pulls at my limbs and I know I am upright. I know I’ve been ridiculously drunk before but this is the strangest predicaments to awaken to.

    Using my ears and I can hear the sound of a critter a chittering and the distant sound of metal scraping against metal. Iron if I am not mistaken and I am rarely wrong when it comes to such things. I was nurtured for listening after all. Reality then hits like the rat’s shield slamming into my skull and I gasp for air. It’s stagnant. Old. There’s something in my mouth and I choke trying to spit it out.

    Tower.

    Panic sets in and I find myself struggling to breathe. I’m cold. Freezing and my arms feel like they’ve been torn from my sockets. How long have I been here? A day? Maybe two? My head hurts and I have a hangover from hell.

    As time passes I refuse to face reality or any of the food that is brought to me. With the darkness it is easy to slip into the memories. I remember a little bird telling me about this. I told him I was afraid. He said it wouldn’t happen to me. That it was different now. He was wrong.

    ….

    Tonight I danced. I know. Not a big deal right? Everyone dances every now and then. Good wine, good food and good company and it was bound to happen eventually.

    But me? I have not danced since my Bethrothed died. Conscious choice. I just.. couldn’t. Not if I could never dance with him again. That was how we met you see, when he asked me to dance. And we had been dancing together ever since till the day he died.

    But tonight, against all odds, I did. I wanted to. I think.. that meant I was.. am finally are able to move on. Right? It felt good, for one night to feel totally free from it all. The pain and the agony of feeling it always there, pressing against my chest, clawing at me and dragging me under was gone. Completely. It was like walking on air. To feel free like that.

    I was lighter than air, swirling my skirts about as I spun around on the heels of my beautiful shoes in a beautiful Tubori styled dress that exposed more skin that was entirely proper. I remember laughing freely and as I spun about from one turn, I came colliding in against a new dance partner, the fox.

    After the dancing. I vaguely recall kissing. Lots of it. Five? Six people? It all blurs together except one; the murderous fox. I remember the sugar cubes and the hemp and the wine and the ale, the games and the flesh. And then, getting dragged from them in a sudden slam of reality. The feeling returned again, the pressing, the clawing and the slow squeezing against my heart. I barely remember it. Walking. The chains. The indignities imposed on me.

    …..

    My mind delves back further, to the night we met. The moment our eyes collided, it felt like the whole world would be pulled apart if for just a second I looked away. And so I didn’t, and neither did you. Your mouth moved and you asked me to dance, but I truly I didn’t hear the words as we came together in to dance in a way that the Tubori are known for down at the Taverns on the docks.

    My wrist upon your shoulder, and fingers curled about your nape. Your arm wrapped around my waist in a firm hold. Less than an inch between us, we danced as one. It wasn’t a slow romantic dance, but one of the hips, and small quick steps. It was hot, and sweaty, with skirts flared around my knees with each quick twist and turn. There were sweeping dips, and pressing hips. It was perfect. I didn’t have to think. You anticipated my moves and I yours. And that is how it always was. You were my life. And then you were gone. I am lost without you.

    See the storm set in my eyes, see the thorn twist in my side and I wait for you
    Sleight of hand and twist of faith, on a bed of nails he makes me wait.
    And I waste without you. With or without you, with or without you

    Through the storm, we reach the shore, you gave it all but I wanted more
    And I’m waiting for you, I can’t live, with or without you
    And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away
    My hands are tied, my body bruised, he got me with nothing to win, and nothing left to lose
    And you give yourself away, And you give … and you give, And you give yourself away

    With or without you, I can’t live
    With or without you

    Long lost words whisper slowly to me
    Still can’t find what keeps me here
    When all this time I’ve been so hollow inside
    I know you’re still there

    Watching me, wanting me, I can feel you pull me down
    Fearing you, loving you, I won’t let you pull me down

    Hunting you, I can smell you – alive, your heart pounding in my head

    Watching me, wanting me, I can feel you pull me down
    Saving me, raping me, watching me

    Feel it comin’ in the air
    hear the screams from everywhere
    I’m addicted to the thrill
    It’s a dangerous love affair
    Can’t be scared when it goes down
    Got a problem, tell me now
    Only thing that’s on my mind
    Is who’s gonna run this town tonight…
    Is who’s gonna run this town tonight…
    We gonna run this town

    Life’s a game but it’s not fair
    I break the rules so I don’t care
    So I keep doin’ my own thing
    Walkin’ tall against the rain
    Victory’s within the mile
    Almost there, don’t give up now
    Only thing that’s on my mind
    Is who’s gonna run this town tonight

    I got you crawling up a mountain, hanging round my neck
    I got you twisted round my finger, crawling round my legs

    The emptiness, the craziness, satisfy this hungriness

    Darling, how would it feel?

    If we sleep together, will you like me better
    If we come together, we’ll go down forever
    If we sleep together, will I like you better
    If we come together, prove it now or never

    Make me a pretty person, make me feel like I belong
    Make me hard and make me happy, make me beautiful

    If we sleep together, nothing satisfies me baby
    If we sleep together, I’ll wear something pretty baby
    If we sleep together, give me what I crave now baby
    If we sleep together, save the rest for later baby
    If we sleep together, you will drive me crazy baby
    If we sleep together, I save it all for you my baby
    If we sleep together, If we sleep together.

    I need your love, I need your love, I need your loving
    You got that kind of medicine that keeps me going
    My body needs a hero, come and save me
    Something tells me you know how to save me
    I’ve been feeling real low, oh I need you
    Come and rescue me

    Make me come alive, come on and turn em on
    Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on
    I’m too young to die, come on and turn me on
    Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

    Boy you make it, make it right
    You’re temperature is super high
    If I scream if I cry, it’s only cause I feel alive
    My body needs a hero, come and save me
    Something tells you know how to save me
    I’ve been feeling real low, oh I need you
    Come and rescue me

    I know you can save me and make me feel alive

    Yeah here we go for the hundredth time, Hand grenade pins in every line
    Throw ’em up and let something shine, Going out of my fucking mind
    Filthy mouth, no excuse, Find a new place to hang this noose
    String me up from atop these roofs, Knot it tight so i won’t get loose
    Truth is you can stop and stare, Run myself out and no one cares
    Dug the trench out laid down there, With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
    Yeah, someone pour it in, Make it a dirt dance floor again
    Say your prayers and stomp it out, When they bring that chorus in

    [Chorus]
    I bleed it out digging deeper
    Just to throw it away

    I bleed it out
    [End Chorus]

    Go stop the show, Choppy words and a sloppy flow
    Shotgun opera lock and load, Cock it back and then watch it go
    Mama help me I’ve been cursed, Death is rolling in every verse
    Candy paint on his brand new hearse, Can’t contain him he knows he works
    Fuck this hurts, I won’t lie, Doesn’t matter how hard I try
    Half the words don’t mean a thing, And I know that I wont be satisfied
    So why try ignoring him, Make it a dirt dance floor again
    Say your prayers and stomp it out, When they bring that chorus in

    I’ve opened up these scars, I’ll make you face this
    I’ve pulled myself so far, I’ll make you, face, this, now!!!!

    Mommy always told me
    Poppa always warned me
    Don’t hang around boys like you
    Teacher always told me
    Never to be naughty
    Don’t mess around with boys like you
    If I had have listened
    Wouldn’t be in this position

    I liked the way my hand looked on your head
    The presence of my knuckles
    But the beauty of this vision alone
    Just like yesterday’s sunset
    Has been perverted by the sentimental and mistaken for love

    The felix of your truth will always break it
    And the iris of your eye will always shake it
    And the armies, the armies I have created
    Will always hate it will always bait you on

    I liked the way my hand looked on your head
    The presence of my struggle
    But the beauty of this vision alone
    I can’t shake from my tree just yet
    It keeps invading all my private moments
    Listen to me now
