Misbegotten 02:56
This is a moon for you, my misbegotten lover The one who peeled away my skin and crawled right under It tears me up that you could love another Now I walk with wounds so deep, they open up and weep When you come back You come back and melt a heart that's hard like wax If you stayed then I would never leave you And I will never not feel crazy when I see you I like to watch you walk into the distance So I can go about my day denying your existence If time could heal all ills, then what's this sickness That alternates between two states, remission and relapse When you come back You come back and smash a heart that's made of glass I admit that I will always want to be you And I will never not feel crazy when I see you This is a moon for you, my misbegotten lover We once were one, but then our souls were torn asunder Tonight it rises full and unencumbered To light the way to all the pain I thought had long since passed But it comes back That shit comes back to burn a heart that's long gone black I search for clues that you've been missing me too And I will never not feel crazy when I see you

There's a fault in the flashbulb There's a flub in the frame Her expression is all aglow but I know you don't feel the same I can see what you're thinking I can read your whole mind I would lay down my life and bet you regret leaving someone behind Now someone is gonna get hurt And this time it's gonna be her Does she know what you're about Does she know about lies that come from your mouth Does she know that she's in trouble now Cause I'm gonna get you back somehow Does she think that she's different Does she think that you'll change Does she know you're a Taurus and they prefer to stay safe Do you know how to touch her Do you shut it down And does she take that to mean eventually, you'll come around Does she think she gets through to you In ways that I never could do Does she know your doors are closed Is she ready to be on her own Did she know you'd throw away the key As soon as you knew you were coming home to me Let me guess, she took you to the park On an unusually warm fall day And the leaves crunching under your feet They'd weathered a storm and changed But you'd stayed the same Does she know what you're about Does she know about lies that come from your mouth Does she know that she's in trouble now Cause I'm gonna get you back somehow

Why do I look on the Internet To see inside your mind To see the one that you can't forget Till your body is right next to mine I'll let you pretend to make love to me one more time Before I go on with my life I was born with a broken heart There's no need to go easy on me baby Why don't you do what you will It's midnight on the Ides of March Go on and stab your sword in me baby There's no on left here to kill I want to see if you'll comfort me But you won't answer the phone I want a sip of your bitter tea So later when we're all alone I'll let you pretend to make love to me one more time Before I go on with my life I was born with a broken heart There's no need to go easy on me baby Why don't you do what you will It's midnight on the Ides of March Go on and stab your sword in me baby There's no on left here to kill I think it's time that I face it We will never be we It's such a shame you're not going to see The kind of friend I can be I'll let you pretend to make love to me one more time Before I go on with my life

about

Cristina Black Los Angeles, California

Often compared to Nico and Fiona Apple for her dour-pretty character voice, Los Angeles singer-songwriter Cristina Black maintains a cabaret-like propriety while drawing on the curious looseness of her former home, New Orleans.
