Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile
Can you bear not to share with your child
Drifting and floating and fading away
Little lune
All day
Little lune
Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb
Someone said that you're fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Nodding and melting and fading away
Little lune
All day

In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye
Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind

City of blue tile.
Figure in Ceramics.
Where we reach out.
Grab for Porcelain.
But it's too fragile to hold.
And it shatters in our hands.
In time the seasons will seal these shards.
Into the slits that denote your wrists.
Death is the answer.
To calculations composed of motions that are the same.
And secret and different
A missing alphabet with a message for us.
When people die.
(DIE,DIE!)
They take a piece of us with them.
(PEOPLE DIE AND DIE!)
And holes in clouds are minutes passing.
(DIE AND DIE!)
Rescind this line and several ties.
(PEOPLE DIE AND DIE EVERYDAY!)
The skyline unfolds into explanation.
That sometimes words give up.
And silently walk off the edge of the page.
And here the cry opens up reveals the word inside.
The crack in the porcelain.
The silent line of sky-lit eyes show.
Death up there shine more brightly than lives down here.

Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to show your face around here.
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.
Well, I wish I could shake some sense into you and walk out the door.
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.
Just the other day I felt I had you by a string.
Just the other day I felt we could be everything.
But now when I see you, you're somebody else.
In somebody's eyes and your skin...
But your skin is like porcelain.
Yeah, your skin is like porcelain.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Well, I don't know if you're there.
In the words you are feigning.
Do you even care?
Well I wish I could kill you,
savor the sight.
Get in to my car, drive into the night.
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above.
That I was the last one you ever loved.
Yes, your skin is like porcelain.
But your skin is like porcelain.

I am very very much in like with you
I hope that it's okay 'cause it's all I can do
'Cause you treat my skin like porcelain,
Rare and special porcelain
Even though you know I know you know
That this is not the real thing...
Oh, isn't it enough what I'm giving to you, baby?
Oh, isn't it enough that your kisses drive me crazy?
Oh, isn't it enough, isn't it enough?
I read a book like you, it says for what it's worth
People only really get what they deserve
And I hear a voice cry out within
Relax, enjoy the porcelain
Treatment feels like liquid gold
A treasured hand for me to hold
Oh, isn't it enough what I'm giving to you, baby?
Oh, isn't it enough that your kisses drive me crazy?
Oh, isn't it enough, isn't it enough?
Porcelain, porcelain
You treat my skin like porcelain...
In the big, big scheme of things
Beyond the rare and special porcelain
Beyond the joy, joy and the dis-at-ease
Well there's a place for me...
Porcelain, porcelain....
Sometimes I think I should say I love you too
If words are free, why can't I spare the best for you?
'Cause you treat my skin like porcelain
Rare and special porcelain
Even though you know I know you know
I'm cracked from all of this living
Oh, isn't it enough what I'm giving to you, baby?
Oh, isn't it enough that your kisses drive me crazy?
Oh, isn't it enough that I'm checking for you, baby?
Oh, isn't it enough that your kisses drive me crazy?
Oh, isn't it enough, isn't it enough?
Isn't it enough?
Isn't it enough?

You tried to spit at the sun,
Put it out like a burning ember.
She has a porcelain soul.
As you crawl under the moon.
Make this bed and sleep forever.
She has a porcelain soul
'cause the life you live is less than alive.
As they scream, "let them burn,"
You know she'll burn at the hands of your kin.
As they scream, "let them burn,"
You know you won't forgive them
She crawls through the dirt
Like a four legged spider.
He's there laying beside her.
When the serpents tongue
Is wrapped around her neck.
"let them burn,"
"let them burn,"
And he knows that she died inside.
And he knows.
Open hands hold porcelain souls
Into the eyes of a traitor.
I still see a believer.
The witness is here.
She's a witch and I love her.
Buy back her soul with the blood of the savior.
Is it too much to forgive?
The witness is here.
Open hands hold porcelain souls.
She falls to her knees and she begs for forgiveness
As the Heavens open their gates.
The wood burns and the fire blazes,
But he bought back her soul with the blood of the

Baby im afraid of a lot of things
But i aint scared of loving you
Baby i know your afraid of a lot of things
But don't be scared of love
Cause people will say all kinds of things
That don't mean a dam to me
Cause all i see is what's in front of me
And thats you
Well, ive been dragged all over the place
Ive taken hits time just don't erase
And baby i can see you've been fucked with too
But that don't mean your loving days are through
Cause people will say all kinds of things
That don't mean a dam to me
Cause all i see is what's in front of me
And thats you
Well i may be just a fool
But i know were just as cool
And cool kids...
they belong together

a darker garden this though pale with beauty
in the louring of the rain
how I long to break the silence
where the moths & tigers play
driving through the forest in the empty afternoon
a Japanese car stalled inside a glade
but the world is porcelain
yes, the world is porcelain
& the quiet nights with the friend who could not stay
left the future all sundazed
Alice Jude & Laura singing
all our friends have come to stay
they are laughing in the sunlight
where the criss-cross fountains play
sunlight on the empty house & sunlight on the fields
the cul-de-sac, the lawn, the tracks, the lane
but the world is porcelain
yes, the world is porcelain
still the evening will not come here
& the stones are cracked & warm
& the pool is filled with sunlight

You though by now you'd have it figured out
You can't erase the way it pulls when seasons change
It hurts sometimes to find where you begin
But you are perfect porcelain
the slow and simple melody of tears you cannot keep from me
It's alright if you don't know what you need
I'm right here when,
You needd someone to see
It's not speak or forever hold your peace
It's alright to take time and find where you've been
You are perfect porcelain
When your heart releases
You won't fall to pieces
You'll let those old diseases lie
And your heart releases
You won't fall to pieces
And your breath comes crashing in

Now all my people come on ... whatever gets you off... you will find it here
Now all the things become crystal clear
You`re the sucker and I`m the god in here
Take a look at this world she`s smiling at me
I dance with angels on my way to hell
No I won`t sing about summer and love
Cause tonight it all turns into a winter of hate ... cold
I left the earth when the cold wind came
I saw a darkness along lover`s lane
Oh when the drugs began to take hold
I heard CASH playing " I`m leaving now"

Porcelain
Music & Lyrics by Lucy Schwartz
I’ve been waiting
All my life
For this feeling to be mine
No more searching
No more crying
For this feeling surely is mine
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
‘Cause you make my heart go wild
Set the sun on fire
Set the sun on fire
Take me in love
Warm my skin
And erase this history I’m living
Skin like porcelain
See right through
There’s a fragile history that runs in you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
‘Cause you make my heart go wild
Set the sun on fire
Set the sun on fire
Yes, you make my heart go wild
Set the sun on fire
Set the sun on fire
Take my hand in your hand, porcelain
Follow me to my bed, porcelain
Wash me clean of these wounds, pouring in

I don't ever want to meet you
'Coz you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
I don't ever want to meet you
'Coz you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
Nothing as disappointing
And I don't want to be disappointed
I'm just some kid you'll think about maybe in passing
But you're like my passion for real
But distance is a lot less stress
How you do what you do's still an uneducated guess
And I bet you'll think I'm crazy
But I think you're just a little bit amazing
Maybe, maybe I want to be you baby
No, I simply can't resist my imagination
Now I'm amount of patience
Validates my preoccupation
Let me say this
You look better famous, yeah
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
Ahem
Dear superhero, whom I look up to from afar
Cause you're of a whole other galaxy
I know you might find this shit so bizarre
I rather we never had to meet, had to speak
I think I know who you are in my imagination
But not too sure about reality
You're a superstar, with that glow one has to be
But you come across brighter in a magazine
Shine much more on a plasma screen
If that don't wake me like a bad dream, bad dream
Sad scene like Mufasa in that stampede
Exactly why this calls for my evacuation
Before this conversation paints the picture
That my mind has painted
Faded
'Coz it can get complicated to recognize your idol's
tainted
Damn, is that a face lift?
'Coz you look better famous
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
Have you ever met somebody who was perfect 'til you met
them
Woah, oh oh
Have you ever met somebody who was perfect 'til you met
them
I have
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
I don't ever want to meet you
Because you're like porcelain
And I think it would crack
If I found you were a brat
Stay perfect
Stay perfect
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Show me what
I have been missing
All this time
Echoes were right
Only thinking about yourself
Pixilate
Show me the way
Through the blue
Throwing stones
In your house of glass
Roll the dice
Echoes were right
Only thinking about yourself
Pixilate
Show me the way
Say what you're really
Looking for
And everything you ever
Wanted
When what you're really looking for
Breaks before your
Very eyes
Say you're really looking for
Everything you ever
Wanted
What you're really looking for
Breaks before your
Very eyes

Damn your eyes
And all the times you looked into mine
Paralyzed by everything I do
Now you're mine
Damn your eyes
And everything inside
Not this time, it won't be alright
You and I will never say goodbye or goodnight
Every time I look into your eyes
Everybody else just seems to die
Damn your skin
It's the beginning of the end
Will be my only sin
Porcelain, just like a baby doll over again and again
Every time I look into your eyes
Everybody else just seems to die
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Everybody else just seems to die
Everything I do just seems so wrong

Take this phrase and bury it beneath you
No more battered faces and forgotten tongues
It seems you've renewed my faith in hate
I'm not as exacting as I once was
I've forgotten what those words meant to me
And your face looks a little dirtier now
Face down in this puddle presents breathing problems
Looks like you're not so righteous now
Just one more minute, that's all I ask
Then you will resurface and wipe away that masquera
A razorblade smile for all those tears
An ear-to-ear grin must have found it's home on you
Porcelain white skin wrapped in bloodstained carpet
Maybe this river will wash away all your demons
Maybe they will stay to hurt you until I come to meet you
Then I will have the chance to do it all over again...

When you cry it makes a sound
Like knives on porcelain
It makes me want to seal you up in glass
It makes me want to peel off your skin
And I think that on your face, this razorblade
Would make your tears run red
Yeah, I'd carve you a new expression
A souvenir of my affection
Dollies don't speak, keep your mouth shut
I'll wrap you up in plastic
Bet you'd make a pretty little package
Dollies don't speak, keep your mouth shut
Don't you know you're better off now
Safer when you're tied up
Bleached you white as parchment
Yes! this time it will be perfect
It won't be much longer now
Just keep your head down- underwater
And you'll be with me forever because
My love is just enough- to drown you in

Turn to me, see my tears,
this season falls dark again,
your rubine eyes cut through me,
i feel your sulfuric breath.
Live with this sickness for a lifetime.
Wake from your bed of broken glass.
Kill your grace for just one moment.
Pray that this plague will go away.
Tear into me with talons soaked in rain.
These deep winter scars seal my veins.
Sift through the pieces in hellenistic severance.
Devotions design fosters rabid consequence.
A xerox of the years gone by.
And notes from centuries past.
Scrape the serum from my tongue, a crime, in the name of all.
Warm your hand on what runs from my veins,
my hands they1ve not moved a single inch today,
