tis is the great lyrics of singer tori amos:crucify-

every finger in the room,is pointing at me i want to spit in their faces but fear what they might bring. i got a bowling ball in my stomach, gotta desert in my mouth and it figures that my courage has just run out. ive been looking for a saviour in these dirty streets,ive been lookin for a saviour beneath these dirty sheets, ive been raising up my hands drive another nail in. just what god needs. why do we crucify are selfs everyday i crucify myself. nothing i do is good enough for you crucify myself. and my hearts been in cccchhhhaaaaiiiiiinnnnnsssss, ccccchhhhhaaaaaaiiiiinnnnssss.

great isnt it?

She's one of my favourite artists/lyricists, I think she's amazing. Cheers for putting that up, thought maybe I'd contribute...

Silent all these years.

Excuse me but can I be you for a while?
My dog dont bite if you sit real still.
I got the anti-christ in the kitchen yellin' at me but yeah,
yeah I can hear it.
Got saved again by the garbage truck,
I got something to say ya know but nothing comes.
Yes I know what you think of me, you never shut up.
Yeah I can hear it.

But what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of yours with her name still on it?
Hey but I don't care coz sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice.
And it's been here,
Silent all these years.

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts,
What’s so amazing about really deep thoughts?
Boy you’d best pray that I bleed real soon.
How’s that thought for ya?
My scream got lost in a paper cup,
I think there’s a heaven where the screams have gone,
I got 25 bucks and a cracker, do you think it’s enough,
to get us there?

Cause what if I’m a mermaid, in these jeans of his with her name still on it?
Hey but I don't care coz sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice.
And it's been here,
Silent all these years.

Years go by when I’ll still be waiting for somebody else to understand.
Years go by if I’m stripped of my beauty and the orange clouds raining in my head.
Years go by when I choke on my tears till finally there is nothing left.
One more casualty, you know we’re too easy, easy, easy.

Well I love the way we communicate,
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape.
Let’s hear what you think of me now, but baby don’t look up -
The sky is falling.
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress and it’s your turn now to stand where I stand.
Everybody looking at you, don’t let go of my hand.
Well I can hear it...

But what if I’m a mermaid, in these jeans of yours with her name still on it?
Hey but I don't care coz sometimes, I said sometimes I hear my voice,
I hear my voice, I hear my voice,
And it's been here,
Silent all these years.
I’ve been here,
Silent all these years.

Just wanted to add to this, her music feels pretty relevant in my life right now, especially this song:

"Little Earthquakes"

Yellow bird flying
Get shot in the wing
good year for hunters
And Christmas parties
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and I hate
Elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here, silent

Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

We danced in graveyards
With vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of kings,
Never afraid to burn
And I hate and I hate
And I hate and i hate
Disintegration
Watching us wither
Black winged roses that safely changed their colour

Oh, these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces

I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Give me life,
Give me pain
Give me myself again

I can't reach you
I can't reach you
Give me life,
Give me pain
Give me myself again

Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into.....pieces
