Chelsea Wolfe - Place In The Sun

home, but I was lost
I was lost
home, where we split
a splinter in the skin
home, lantern-lit
only one step ahead

safe with the one
not so toilsome to love
I am safe in this body
safe in this heart
I have made it this far
to live this life

claim what you want
and take your place in the sun
hearing songs in the silence
wings in our lungs
and with the air my guide
let me fly

let me fly, fly, fly

Chelsea Wolfe - Eyes Like Nightshade

as equals, we meet
time collapses
silently, you turn to me
an outline, a silhouette

eyes like nightshade
eyes like -

cleanse me, teach me
in your gentle resilience
as time slows, stay close to me

I am flying in my sleep
I am flying in my sleep

it’s like lightning finds me
when you’re around
flashing curiously

past the borders of the frame
ink on the page
eclipse me, reveal me

eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade
eyes like nightshade

Chelsea Wolfe - The Liminal

a voice to sing this aloud
let go of limits and doubt
what, did you say all you wanted to say?
did you do all you wanted to do?

all you ever wanted was the liminal
all you ever wanted was the liminal
all you left behind was your exoskeleton
a spectral reminder of all that we’ve become

something tethered me to
time and space in-between
the more you seek the more you’ll see
nothing dies, but nothing thrives
in this world, this world

all you ever wanted was the liminal
all you ever wanted was the liminal
all you left behind was your exoskeleton
a spectral reminder of all that we’ve become

I’m the storm and I’m the center
I’m your poison, I’m your tincture
they wanted me to go down easy
excommunicate myself

I’m the future, I’m the former
I nurtured me, I came back stronger
I’m in your dreams, I’m in your song
now everybody sings along

Chelsea Wolfe - Unseen World

the unseen world
the inner bell
in your skull, howling

oh, the unknowable mind

feel it ‘til it’s time
grieve and redefine

ever-turning wheel
binds our hands together
wed the shadows to the light
as the pendulum swings to the tide

the unseen world
the unseen world
the unseen world
the unseen world

Chelsea Wolfe - Flatlands

I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands
will you go there with me
when it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
when it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

Chelsea Wolfe - Crazy Love

Crazy love, it’s not you I fear

You let the devil in

You hold him near

Crazy love, when did the war begin

When will it end

When will it end

Crazy love

And i don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live without you

Crazy love, where is our home

Look at the place we’re in

The hell we left it in

Can we forget ourselves

Can we forgive

Can we afford the years, my lovely friend

Crazy love

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live without you

I don’t want to live without you

Chelsea Wolfe - The Mother Road

Took the mother road

Down to goddess flesh

I swallowed the key

I want to learn to swallow my pain

Hallowed the fruit, hallowed thy name

Guess I needed something to break me

Guess I needed something to shake me up

Guess I needed someone to break me

Guess I needed someone to shake me out

Afraid to live, afraid to die

Building a broken but precious web

Like a spider in Chernobyl

And when the cattle low, something is on the horizon

I do not have a child

But I'm old enough to know some pain

And I'm hell bent on loving you

Women know what it is to endure

Guess I needed something to break me

Guess I needed something to shake me up

Guess I needed someone to break me

Guess I needed someone to shake me out

It was you

It was you

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform

Guess I needed something to break me

Chelsea Wolfe - Tracks (Tall Bodies)

It's a machine we're up against

Devoid of reason, devoid of sense

It's a system full of regret

We wear it on our shoulders

Because someday we'll win

We could be two straight lines in a crooked world

We could be two straight lines in a crooked world

They've created

Chelsea Wolfe - Sick

This suffering brings me closer to you

And time is broken and moves slow

Your pure heart, your white light

I should be put to death for ever being cruel to you

You washed me clean like no one ever could

Come closer now and step right into

The wide mouth, the sharp teeth of the one you love

I'm not the kind of sick that you can fix

Don't you worry about me baby

I've got no enemies and I've got no time

The song, we carry on

Even though you pushed us down

We carry on

When you try to blind my eyes I can see tenfold

It's nothing that my heart can't take, 'cause your hate has made me strong

And stronger men than you have tried to break me

Stronger men than you have tried to break me

Leaning toward the golden days

Forget about the older days

And everything we left behind

To stand here in another life

We carry on, even though you held us down

We carry on, with the song

We carry on, even though you pushed us down

We carry on

Chelsea Wolfe - 16 Psyche

I've spent, in different beds

Many moons

And that's the way I prefer it

I can't

She said, I'd save you but I can't hide

I feel it crawl

Up my legs

Let me wrap you up in these thighs

It gets me out of my head again

I can't

She said, I'd save you but I can't love

16 Psyche

Coma tail quivering

Knew all along

I can't

She said, I'd save you but I can't

She said, I'd save you but the world's bent

She said, I'd save you but I can't

Chelsea Wolfe - Noorus

I was young

I was scared

I was so high I didn't care

Mind was loose

Mind was dead

Mind was jaded like quarter-fed

I was a boy

I was whore

I would take in anything you'd give

Only cared

About myself

Fuck you and your ego

Get out of my brain..

It was a war

It was obscene

It was the worst that I had been

It was a bag of chocolate coins

It wasn't water

It wasn't free

It was the worst that I had been

It was the death of some kind of scene

Chelsea Wolfe - Little Grave

When I was a little one

I'd follow you into the sun

I held your hand

You held me then

I went outside

You never saw me again

Sunrise

Sunset

Sunrise

Sunset

Touch not ye my little grave

For mama is now far away

They lay me there

And there I lay

You can't fight guns with guns - we'll all perish that way

Sunrise

Sunrise

Sunrise

Sunset

And the blue dreams keep on calling me

Sunrise

Sunrise

Sunrise

Sunset

Chelsea Wolfe - Scrape

You were the Summer
You were the coma
You were the only one

It was so quiet
And then you came around
And all the hiss of unknown
Turned lifeless and commonplace

You carrier, you'll never see
What came undone, what you took from me
Can you hear them? Rats in the walls
They remind me together of who we were
I don’t need your help or your hindrance
You stay the fuck away from me
You said, "It's been so long, I'm all alone."
Hear the scratch of the rats in the walls

Led me here, said, "Hold my hand."
A young nymph defiled then
My body fights itself inside
I feel it bow, this mortal hold

You carrier, you repulse me
Heard the sound of her knees scrape against the street
You, the dirty one, what you took from me
There was nothing left but hypocrisy
Holy odium, blotted memory
But my regret will never consume me
The ocean's licking tongue, the letting of the blood
Vile prophecy, scrape it out of me

Chelsea Wolfe - Be All Things

Walking the old path turned me towards death
The ravens woke at dawn
And daylight plumed my skin
Then the air was full, simply composed of prey

I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I’ve got to let go
I want to be all things

Warriors, newborns, and queens
The lion and the wolf
Gnarling at eternal sleep

Let it burn
Hear it groan
Restrained desire
Cast it down

I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I’ve got to let go,
I want to be all things

I cannot stop
I want to be all things
I’ve got to let go
I want to be all things

Chelsea Wolfe - Preface To A Dream Play

Preface to a dream play
Time and space do not exist here
And everything is possible
Throw a spear into the unknown
The clock hands begin to melt away
Replaced by the marching of your army

You were right
You were right

Those were the days
When your hair was wild and long
Those were the days
When we could do no harm
You gave it away and all you can say is
You gave it away and all you can say is

You were right
You were right
You were right
Ingmar

Hell is on earth
Hell is on earth
Hell is on earth
Hell is on earth

Chelsea Wolfe - Reins

Hold the reins inside
Hold it inside
These horses they pull me
These horses they pull me
These tires they pull me
These winds they push me
These wires they pull me
These wires they pull me
To you
These horses they pull me
These horses they pull me
These tires they pull me
On the unforgiving roads that lead to you
These winds these winds they push me
These wires these wires they pull me
These wires these wires they pull me
To you
And nobody can stop me now

Chelsea Wolfe - Virginia Woolf Underwater

Everything you've owned is gone
Everything you know is wrong
Everyone you've loved has left
Everything you've touched is dead

Everyone you know is gone
Everything you've touched, gone wrong
Take my hand, raise up underground
Listen well, follow the sound
Chains moving along link our legs
Never quite knowing where to stay and rest for awhile

When you're underwater whisper
Wait for all the sounds to fall away
When you're underwater insert your feet on the wall of things

Chelsea Wolfe - The Wasteland

It's gonna be a wasteland, it's gonna be a dark and narrow road
It's gonna be a fire, it's gonna be a heat you've never known
It's gonna be a wasteland, it's gonna be a gray, gray dawn
Gray like the winter, a thousand years, lost and gone

Keeping time with the clicking of your tongue against your teeth
Spelling words you used to know to mean such things
Keeping time with your twitching fingers worn from the disease
Like humanity, a cancer - we never sow more than we reap

And the earth, that old man
Shrugging us off of his shoulders

If you could hear what I hear
The whole world moving at the same time

Keeping time with the clicking of your tongue against your teeth
Spelling words you used to know to mean such things
Like L-O-V-E

Chelsea Wolfe - Maw

Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the man
Shattered teeth
Underneath a
Dripping tongue

I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe
Where are you?
Where are you?

In the maw
In a world so dirty
Intoxicated
A life of tears
In the maw
A world in a daze
None can be trusted
In the mouth of the beast

I've been waiting
In this silence
While you're sleeping
Until you believe

I've been waiting
In this silence
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Chelsea Wolfe - The Culling

Dead eyes
I only call you when you're in my dreams
Died too young
The culling then, it was obscene

I am depleted by love
I am depleted by love

I'll never tell the secrets of my family
Bled out
A cult of anonymity

The kettle is wheeling, my love
Riding on the back of a hell they caused

One ear to the ground
One eye on the room
My tongue on your pulse
My finger in your wound

Sweet dead eyes, I long to hear you again
Sweet dead eyes, I long to see your face
Sweet dead eyes, I long for that illustrious hiss
Sweet dead eyes, I know you feel it

No turning back
"Only god knows what we're headed for"
The flowers bloom
The sun rises

Flux
Hiss
Welt
Groan
