about

Self-reflection and a general resignation about people and relationships...and even music itself.

I call myself 'The Songmistress', but it is I who am the submissive here, really. Passion dominates me again and again.

Tempted.

Tantalised.

Teased.

Tortured.

I am all made up of desire...

And, perhaps, that is why it is all too easy to f*ck me over. And, it is why, no perhaps needed, I wrote this song.

lyrics

Stunned again
You entrance me
But I've learned
I must turn away
Lest I be burned
Lest I be burned

You are a flame
A blinding brightness
Chanting out my name
A summons to another doom
Passion I can't contain

My heart is maimed
I drag myself along
I need to get away
Before it is too late
Before another wound
I cannot bear
Is sustained

You are a flame
A blinding brightness
Chanting out my name
A summons to another doom
Passion I can't contain
Passion I can't restrain
