Trap If you could only see I couldn’t love you more If you belong to me I’ll hold you I’ll keep you But I get so hypnotized I’m lost I’m paralyzed I want to hear your lies You choke me You bleed me I want to die When I feel you inside my mind Hearts weren’t meant to last Breathe in the broken glass Tell me it’s going to pass You’ll need me You’ll heal me I want to die When I feel you inside my mind If I loved you more than life Wouldn’t matter if you died I’ll follow you I’ll carry you I’ll try to make it beautiful again Without the lies, without the pain Cause in my heart, I know we’ll reunite I want to die When I feel you inside my mind I want to cry Cause I know I’ve run out of time These moments in time I knew you were mine Take me, forgive me Love me, believe me It drives me insane I know – it's only a game Take me, forgive me Love me, believe me This is a trap and I know it will kill me....

Last night's show in Moscow was very special. First and foremost, this was a great show for both myself and the guys. Secondly, this is my home turf – I grew up here. To perform in front of a few thousand people and win them over is something every artist dreams about, I suppose. This was a proper way to finish off this year, so to speak. Now it's back to recording and focusing on music and planning for next year. My birthday is coming up,...

The show in St. Petersburg was wonderful and terrifying. Wonderful because, well, any opportunity to perform my songs in front of many, many people is wonderful. Terrifying because I was having tech issues 2 minutes prior to my set, and then others IN my set. Fortunately they stopped. But having your microphone misfire in front of 8,000+ people is not something I care to do a lot unless I want to have an early stroke. Anyway. I am in Moscow now and it snowed a bit yesterday. Nothing to write home about, though. I was also fighting off an ear infection for a few days, and only now it seems like it's mostly gone away. I kept myself in denial about it because the last time I had one was when I was 11 or something – but after a couple of days of my ear being distinctly unhappy, I had to admit to myself there may be a problem. All in all I pulled it off, but I am hoping to crush it day after tomorrow. Also, I wasn't able to do my live broadcast with Bambuser because this train we took back to Moscow did NOT have wi fi. It was quaint and quite old and restored etc – but no whiff of wi fi anywhere. Oh well. I am thinking I should do it this Thursday before or after the next concert. Yes, Thursday there's another big show, and it's a big deal for me – home turf and all – also quite a good way to finish up this year of Hero EP, touring Russia...

Oh, claim your prize to the crown of stars In the name of love be the sacrifice You and I will stand and fight our backs to the wall. Oh Hero, hero I want to be a hero Hero, hero I want to be a hero There is no escape let the fever rise as our horses rage and our goal's in sight; maybe I'm the one – I'm the one who will fall. Lay me down on a bed of stone I will wait for you as I rest...

Beatrix Runs Beatrix runs because she knows that her heart beats like a vagabond's Breathing hard and looking back – her past is breathing down her neck. Up the hill, through gate Cross a bridge Oh, it is taking her away. Mom and Dad are fast asleep and the sunrise creeping down the street Wake up soon, but there's no note She is gone, she's taken by the road a little girl in a dress like a ghost, swallowed by the mist. Don't tell me how to live my life or tell me how to be alive Mama dear, Daddy dear You know I'll be alright Of all those lessons you could teach you failed to practice what you preach Mama dear, Daddy dear I don't belong to you I'm headed for the night. Beatrix runs because she feels there's a mire sucking at her heels a prom queen dress, a waiting mould and good girls do what they've been told Up ahead there's a flash – It is dawn – and she is gone. Don't tell me how to live my life or tell me how to be alive Mama dear, Daddy dear You know I'll be alright Of all those lessons you could teach you failed to practice what you preach Mama dear, Daddy dear I'm leaving at first light. And all those plans you made for me the daughter I will never be the soccer shoes and magazines I'm leaving them behind Those pictures hanging on the wall are telling me it's all my fault But I can hear another...

So what a couple of weeks! Video shoots, raging strep throat and more. All meriting another entry in a moment… Why didn't I blog while in bed? Good question. Maybe because I was so miserable all I could do was watch BBC crime series. And so this means I owe my blog lots of attention…again. For now, happy to say this song below will make it on the 2 EPs out in the coming few months. It feels right. Love Song #3. You are so bad for me But I love you tenderly I couldn’t bear the thought That you may go But you are a faceless wall Sometimes you’re a carnival And if you swallow me whole I need to know Is it addiction that feeds me Is it affection that binds me It takes so little to cure me Why did you have to remind me That you are so good to me When I hate you bitterly You rise above, fill me with love Until I choke You are the Christmas day You laugh my rage away You’re always right So why do I fight And try to provoke Is it addiction that feeds me Is it affection that binds me It took so long to convince me That you were destined to find me (instrumental/vocal bridge) You see the best in me You love my honesty You never stop And you pick me up When I am low But this is a travesty Cause you don’t mean a damn to me I want to care...
