Venus Trine Trent Reznor

Venus trine Trent Reznor
Gothic birth chart indicator
Buying Black Heart Retrospective
Hoping Yang would get elected
Rocking boots in hot conditions
Inverting your crucifixes
Hanging out in mall Hot Topics
Bumping Bauhaus, Love and Rockets
Velvet dresses, too tight corsets
Candles, potions, hexes, curses
Shaven eyebrows, Coty powder
Rocky Horror in midnight hour
Rent The Craft, Return to Oz
Cry to Robert Smith and Moz
Go to goth club, flail wildly
Lay in cemeteries idly 
Read Anne Rice and Mary Shelley
Wear more black than necessary
Piss off teachers, worry parents
Think you're Siouxsie's heir apparent 
No one loves you, life is cruel
You're strange and unusual

Dragonfly, Butterfly, Bee

My lover's a dragonfly, butterfly, bee
When I walked outside just now, I saw all three
So flirty and floaty and flying so free
I wonder if that means that he's here with me
His wings are transparent and mine so pretty
Such similar soulmates of different species
If we can forgive the sharp sting of this bee
Learn all of our life lessons congruently 
Shed his exoskeleton and my silk strings
Evolve into beautiful, colorful beings
This butterfly perched behind his bamboo screen
This dragonfly staring at me in my dreams
Perhaps we are closer to it than it seems
Emerging from ether and reuniting 

The 12th

Back it up now, bigger picture
Higher power, Seven Sisters
If the 12th is our undoing
It makes sense then what I'm doing
Planets there become our prison
I've put myself in The System
In the belly, front and center
So I could afford my dinner
Push my buttons, test my morals
Find me resting on my laurels
Light and dark to every sign
It's Uranus here in mine
Rebel Rebel, Rage Against
Antipodal walk on fence
I'm to turn this planet round
Bring electricity down
Execute what's meant to be
Perfect conductivity

Baby Bug

Baby, bug your father
He pretends that he can't bother
We're both here playing with power
In this last eleventh hour
Show him our Moon/Pluto contacts
Remind him of all our contracts
Bring me there onto his lap
Rest his head upon back
Put his hand up to my heart
And our love into his art
Tell him that I am his home
That he needn't walk alone
That I too do want to roam
Help this man pick up his phone

What I Do

Here's what I do
I write about you
Because when I don't 
I cannot emote
If I give up hope
Don't daydream or dote
My fire goes out
I can't see a route
Cannot feel my heart
And thus make no art
A catch 22
Because I need you
I'm one righteous gal
One mean powerhouse 
But in this I suffer
I'm missing my other

On Ice

On ice
It's not nice
But I understand 
In rice
Tis my vice
Waiting for my man
Once twice
And now thrice
In a different land
What now
Indeed how
I'll just be who I am
Can't bow
Or kowtow
It's not I who ran
Hear clear
I am here
Syrinx to your Pan

My King

You have chased me through dimensions
I'm aware of your intentions
The sun's squaring my ascendant
Just as it does with your mission
He tells you to wed royalty
And your girl appears to be
She is crowned for her beauty
But my dear, respectfully 
It is me that is your queen
Dig deeper into your dreams
Where you first did send for me
I am here now answering
What is your next move, my king
