Go, go, go to the jungle Sometimes the rain keeps falling; outside the jungle's calling Now will you face this darkness down? My darling

It’s so cold, inside; I can’t keep going all night Hanging here, stretching skin; feeling pain from where the hooks got put in I see you & I cry, as we spin I pray to God you don’t.... Then my flesh starts to rip, and I try but you’re just out of my grip Mistaken, Falling, Calling Her name Keep shaking & stalling the game I’m breaking; recalling; feeling the pain Keep gripping, but slipping away I’m so scared, hooks so deep; I’d give my everything to see you safely falling asleep I can’t walk alone, until I’m dead; I can’t mark day & night by how much I weep Was I clear? Was I bad? Did you hear me when I swore to God I’d stay til we’re dead? despite emptiness, despite the look on their faces; I’m still standing here to do what I said Was I Mistaken, Falling, Calling Her name Keep shaking & stalling the game I’m breaking; recalling; feeling the pain Keep gripping, but slipping away

When it all starts falling apart (what do you do, what do you do) A pain only comes like this but once in a life (what do you do, what do you do) I cry everyday and I cry every night (what do you do, what do you do) I shiver with fear afraid of losing it all (what do you do, what do you do) I think there’s only one solution that will come guaranteed picture the car & the crash & the flames and release I picture mother & father; I picture Rachel & Johna; I picture Dusty & Keri & Cera; I picture Ariellah Picture my family & my neighbors and friends; I see my nieces all crying and I can’t add to their pain I get to thinking that the walls are falling in on my mind this was nice, did I maybe just misinterpret the signs I see them hearing the news; I see them falling apart I tell myself just to breathe & to cry & hold on and though my brother is dead, I feel his hand on my shoulder he’s saying, “only at the bottom will you see what you’re made of” I’m kneeling at the edge of a pool made of light and I can barely see the reason to remain in the fight but I stand on my feet and my form catches fire and I remember that my family is a Warriors line and I remember I’m the kind of man that raises his children the kind that faces the fire because you stand by your woman I think of liars and players and all the damage they do I think what every single woman that I love has been through I think of all the mistrust and the pain that they hold I think of all the honest men still sitting home and alone What do you do? To find a way of making peace in these times I went my self unto the Goddess’s shrine Made my apologies for all of these crimes for every man whose every raised a violent hand to your line Never been stuck between defeated and driven sometimes I can’t believe the world we live in punching the clock is not a choice I was given not with all the damaged angels in the choir I live in I’ll keep fighting for every damaged Angel in the Choir I live in

Now we’re facing the end of our time I’ve been stepping away so you don’t see me cry want to sit by your side with my grace on feeling fear is a pain when there’s no time I remember you said to be patient I’m ashamed of the way I behaved I wanted to give you everything that I am lead you through darkness share the load if I can it seemed like a dream, sweet & sacred I’ll remember your waking face always Keeping faith will be hard if you’re gone I can taste all we shared, I can Peeling skin from frustration again I can’t stand on my own in such pain Come on breathe baby breathe I can’t stand it Come on breathe honey breathe you can make it see the numbers falling see the numbers falling I said breathe baby breathe and quit stalling have no fear; I’m in here there’s no distance Love’s a starlight; it doesn’t extinguish I’m asleep, I’m awakened by shaking and I know that the moment has come then I look I see nurses all smiling and they tell me she’s fine; numbers climbing I fall to my knees I pray to God everyday: ”I see the evil we spread I trade my life to save hers; just let this blessed girl live” and you did...

about

Her Undulating Scales Oakland, California

My name is Paige Lawrence & I'm a male belly dancer. For 15 years I was a singer & guitarist in various metal/industrial bands in the Bay Area & then I discovered tribal Fusion Belly Dance. Her Undulating Scales is a place for the muses to stop along their gossamer way and sing to me; when I'm paying attention, I press record. Here you will find the songs I'm lucky enough to hear along my way.. ... more
