• Memoir (From 'Stage Whisper - Unreleased' album (2011)

The city lights are beckoning;
their sirens softly call.
All the fantacists and fetishist
are preparing for their ball.
We've been stuck here on the doorstep
with nothing to forsake
but we might as well be anyone's to take.

So, I give myself to strangers
like I gave myself to you.
The tenderness I felt has been replaced
by something new.
And in the end I can vaguely hear an outline of your call.
But I may as well be any words at all.

Every memory is sailing to the kingdom of your soul.
As you patiently await, I lose my sense of self-control.
For you were the lighthouse to my broken boat
but I left you behind
now I might as well be anyone's to find.
Take my body take it from me
It is not worthy of your memory

I remember you undressing as I sat myself on fire
And the funeral was quick as I lay lifeless on your pyre
Well it's a kind of desperation
And it's just something you can't fake
Oh I might as well be anyone s to take

So I give myself to strangers like I gave myself to you
But the unity I felt has been replaced by something new
Now I am Helen and I am Mary Jane
I am Robert and I am Paul
Oh I might as well be anyone's at all
Yes I might as well be anyone at all
