I Remember Mornings lyrics - Madam Mournington

I remember mornings
I remember stars
I remember sunlight
And moonlight and firelight and sky
I remember all these things, but why?

This is no place for memories
This is no place for tears
These long-forgotten memories
Must become forgotten years
Here no one has a past
Forget your memories fast
They'll haunt us if we let them last
But why do I remember mornings?
In mourning still am I

This is no place for pity
They're mad-this is the cost
Yet every girl reminds me of the child
The child I've lost
I'll look the other way
Endure another day
Embrace the part that I must play
But why do I remember mornings?
In mourning still am I

And so I'll leave them as I found them
My soul has turned to stone
But these cages that surround them
Just as well may be my own

Was I always grey?
Was I always cold?
When did I become so old?
Was I ever kind?
Did I ever laugh?
Did I ever love?
Did I ever live?

But I remember laughter
And joy before she fell
This life that followed after is no life
I live in Hell
God save me from my past
Let darkness follow fast
I've let her go and said my last goodbyes
But I remember mornings
Now I'm in mourning 'til I die

Nothing lyrics - Dr. Stockill, Emily

[Dr. Stockill:]
I look at them
I look at them and I feel nothing
I hear them scream
I hear them scream and I feel nothing
I watch them bleed
I watch them bleed and I feel nothing
Nothing... nothing... nothing
For they deserve it

I hold them down
I hold them down and I feel nothing
I stop their mouths
I stop their mouths and I feel nothing
I see them die
I make them die and I feel nothing
Nothing... nothing... nothing
For they deserve it

I don't know why

[Emily:]
I don't know why

[Dr. Stockill:]
I don't know why I haven't killed her

[Emily:]
I don't know why he hasn't killed me

[Dr. Stockill:]
There is a voice

[Emily:]
There is a voice

[Dr. Stockill:]
Inside me telling I should

[Emily:]
Telling me my time is at its end

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's just the same

[Emily:]
I'm just the same

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's just the same

[Dr. Stockill & Emily:]
As all the others

[Emily:]
Others... I cannot leave them

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's stronger now

[Emily:]
Because of them

[Dr. Stockill:]
She's stronger now

[Emily:]
I'm stronger now

[Emily & Dr. Stockill:]
Than when I came
Than when she came

[Dr. Stockill:]
My God, it sickens me to touch her

[Emily:]
If only I could get my hands free

[Dr. Stockill:]
And yet, my pulse, it quickens as I do

[Emily:]
If only I could move

[Dr. Stockill:]
Let's play our game

[Emily:]
I'd try to run

[Dr. Stockill:]
Where would you go?

[Emily:]
I'd tell someone

[Dr. Stockill:]
Who do you know?
Come now, you're cleverer than that
I'd find you in five seconds flat

[Emily:]
I'd use the key

[Dr. Stockill:]
How would you get it?

[Emily:]
Someday you'll see

[Dr. Stockill:]
Is that a threat?
There now, she's finally closed her eyes
I wonder why she never cries

There's something keeping her alive
Something that I can't bottle up
She should be dead by now with everything I've done to her
I've given her the strongest dose
Of all these whores she's had the most
She should be underneath the ground
But she's alive
I am the saviour of this world!
For this I've killed a thousand girls
But every time I watch one die
I'm thinking only of the first one
The first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one, the first one

She is the closest thing I have to a companion, yet
I look at her
I look at her and I feel... nothing

Don't Kiss Me lyrics - Veronica, Inmates

[Veronica:]
There was an English lass
As pretty as a rose
But chaste she was and never would she play
From her pretty little a-... hands
To her pretty little toes
A waste it was to keep them hid away
The gentlemen who called her she denied
And like a proper lady would, she cried

You may paint my portrait and buy me champagne
But don't kiss me
You may pet me over and over again
But don't kiss me
You may call me darling and ask me to dance
For dancing is my cup of tea
No, these lips are not for the taking
But if you'll only agree
That we never should part
You'll be breaking my heart
If you don't kiss me!

No lovers would she claim
All sweethearts would she scorn
But one day when a suitor came to call
So saw that, to her shame
Her stocking she had torn!
And at her feet the gentleman did fall
She swished her fan to keep the hound at bay
And like the bless'd Madonna did she say

You may pain my portrait and buy me champagne

[Veronica & Inmates:]
But don't kiss me

[Veronica:]
You may pet me over and over again

[Veronica & Inmates:]
But don't kiss me

[Veronica:]
You may call me darling and ask me to dance
For dancing is my cup of tea

[Veronica & Inmates:]
No, these lips are not for the taking
But if you'll only agree

[Veronica:]
That we never should part
You'll be breaking my heart
If you-

[Veronica & Inmates:]
-don't kiss me!

[Veronica:]
Everybody!

[Veronica & Inmates:]
You may paint my portrait and buy me champagne
But don't kiss me
You may pet me over and over again
But don't kiss me

[Veronica:]
Come on, lads!

[Veronica & Inmates:]
You may call me darling and ask me to dance
For dancing is my cup of tea
No, these lips are not for the taking
But if you'll only agree
That we never should part
You'll be breaking my heart

[Veronica:]
If we ever should part
You'll be breaking my heart!

[Veronica & Inmates:]
If we ever should part
You'll be breaking my heart
If you don't kiss me!

From The Gutter To The Stars lyrics - Emily, Veronica

[Emily:]
Lying in the gutter
Looking at the stars
Listening to her breathing
As she passes through these rusty bars
Free as any bird with wings as wide
I'm free when I am with her

Dancing down the hallway
Laughing at her chains
Others fade away, yet somehow she remains
Strong as any storm, and just as wild
I'm strong when I'm with her

Yes, I know they could separate us
This is true
They don't even hate us
It's just what they do
But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you
From the gutter to the stars

I will wash your stockings
Lace your corset tight
Waiting in the wings

[Veronica:]
No! On the stage with me

[Emily:]
Alright

[Veronica:]
When the curtain closes

[Emily:]
I'll be there

[Veronica:]
You won't go nowhere?

[Emily:]
I'm home when I am with you

With the slightest touch
I'm in Trafalgar Square
Swinging 'round the lamp posts

[Veronica:]
Breathing in clean air

[Emily:]
Will they understand us?

[Veronica:]
Just be brave

[Emily:]
I'm brave when I am with you

Yes, I know they could separate us
This is true
They don't even hate us
It's just what they do
But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you
From the gutter to the stars

[Veronica:]
What is that over there?

[Emily:]
It's a trap...

[Veronica:]
It's a stage!
What is this in my hand?

[Emily:]
It's a scrap...

[Veronica:]
It's a page from a playbill
With both of our names

[Emily:]
Side by side?

[Veronica:]
As it should be!

[Emily:]
It could be?

[Veronica:]
My darling, just look!

[Emily:]
It's a carpeted floor
It's a dressing room door
It's a crowd wanting more!

[Emily & Veronica:]
I can see it now!

[Emily:]
Yes, I know they could separate us

[Veronica:]
They could separate us

[Emily:]
This is true

[Veronica:]
This is true

[Emily:]
They don't even hate us

[Veronica:]
They don't even hate us

[Emily:]
It's just what they do

[Veronica:]
It's just what they do

[Emily & Veronica:]
But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you

[Emily:]
From the gutter to the stars

[Veronica:]
Let me show you what living is!

[Emily & Veronica:]
They could separate us
This is true
They don't even hate us
It's just what they do
But, if only in my dreams, I will follow you

[Emily:]
From the gutter to...

[Veronica:]
From the gutter to...

[Emily & Veronica:]
The stars...
The stars...

Let It Die lyrics - Emilie Autumn

Ahem
Could we get some tea?
No?
Please?
What about...
What about Vodka?
Brandy?
Alright, Brandy it is, thank you

This is your mission
Should you choose to accept it
Well, I hope that you do
This is your story
Should you choose to remember
Well, I hope that it's true

I've finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You've given me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and clean
Like all the girls before me, have you seen
Somebody walking back from Hell on their own
Well, I hope that you do
Why are we talking
As if you didn't know
Well, they know about you

I've finally a reason
To let it die, let it die
You've given me a reason
To let it die
Let it die
Like all the words irrelevant and strange
Like some ancient Prokofieff arrangement

This is your mission
Should you choose to accept it
Well, I hope that you do
This is your army
And they're all right behind you
Yes, they're all right with you
Let it die
Let it die
Let it die

Portraits lyrics - Emilie Autumn

(from "The Asylum" soundtrack)

I can tell the truth
All I want to tell is the truth
I hope someday to capture people
As they are
I can make things change
I believe it's possible to change
They only have to want to change, to see
To recognize how far we have to go

People have to see, I could help them know
Through a picture of a person in a far-off land
Through showing that the world is more than where we stand
Through sharing though the task at hand is more than what we planned

If they see a face
Not a portrait, just a face
Then they'll want to help
Then they'll want to heal
I can make it real

But all they want is portraits
And all I want is truth
People have to know, I can make things change
If I tell the truth
You, you are the truth

Through a picture of a person in a far-off land
Through showing that the world is more than where we stand
Through sharing what we have to share is more than what we planned
So much more

You are a terribly real thing
In a terribly false world
And that I believe is why you are in
Such pain

The Passenger lyrics - Emilie Autumn

(originally by Iggy Pop)

I am a passenger and I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped back sky
And everything looks good tonight

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la

Get into the car, we'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight

Oh, the passenger how, how he rides
Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does it see?

He sees the silent hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive

And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la

Oh, the passenger he rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things that he knows are his

He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la

Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride and see what's mine

We Have Instructions lyrics - (performed as Emilie, Guards, Nurses, Head Nurse)

We have instruction, we don't ask question
We do our job, we don't think twice
If she messed up, enough to be
Here she deserves, to pay the price

She seems quite lucid, she's cooperative
And rather well-behaved
She made a serious attempt
She was depressed, she was depraved

You mean I can't keep my own clues?
Just one book, I'll need something to read
Why am I being treated like everyone else
When my medication is all that I need?
This is crazy, I didn't hurt anyone else
But myself, which I firmly believe to be my right to do
But see, now that I've said that, you'll keep me here
I suspect several more hours than seventy-two

She's run more patients, that one pathetic
Worthless girl, not worth the fuss
She wastes our time and she's unique
She's fun to look at, that's a plus

This can't possibly be what my shrink meant for me
Can I call him and tell him there's been some mistake?
Is the guard with the gun making sure I don't run
Really touching my ass, God, I'm starting to shake

Yet she is hiding something dangerous
We will soon become aware
What has she done? We have no clue
And if we're honest, we don't care

What if I was crazy as they seem to think?
What if I can't be trusted with even a pen?
What if my only hope is surrender of body and mind
To the care of these men?
I will not cry, I'll fight somehow
To take what I can take from this experiment
So at least I fucking found
I will not fight, I will allow
I am committed, take me home

Notebook

Who's A Little Leech? lyrics - (performed as Dr. Lymer & Emily)

[Dr. Lymer:]
A superior creature!
A gift from the gods to the mad
The desperate, deathly despondent, disgustingly sad
Disappointed, and down on their luck
Whose distinguishing feature
And why I am protectively clad
Is, no, not the three sets of teeth that could pierce the hide
Of an African elephant
Rather more relephant
Is the magnificent, truly spectacular
Marvelous, hardly believable
And unachievable by any other conceivable parasite:
The unearthly ability to simply suck!

Who's a darling?
Who's a dear?
Who's a little blind?
But you never mind
For your papa is here
Who's a little miracle
And proof empirical
Of heaven above?
Who's a little leech?
Who's a little peach?
Who's a little love?

Look! Some luscious juicy veins!
Take a little bite
Whatever will delight
All your thirty-two brains
Who's a little sanguivorously carnivorous?
Please, don't bite my glove!
Who's a little leech?
Who's a little peach?
Who's a little love?

Wiggle wiggle wiggle...

Willingly, and rather thrillingly
I watch you writhing as you wait
Wanting only what you so rightly deserve

Man! Won't you hold her down more tightly!
I might have hit some sort of nerve

No, no, wait, get the plate!
Bless my soul, grab the bowl
And the salt!

[Emily:]
What is that for?
Stop! You're killing it!

[Dr. Lymer:]
God damn you, you're spilling it!

She is most particularly filled with demon blood
The cause of every ill
Let's bleed the bitch until
She's drained of every bloody drop!

There we are

Jar...

Who's a wondrous little worm?
Here's a fleshy slice
Doesn't that look nice?
Oh, you're sweet when you squirm
Isn't it divine that what you like to dine upon
Is what we've got plenty of?
Who's a little leech?
Who's a little peach?
Who's a little love?

Wiggle woo...

You are exotic, and aquatic
Did you know they're imported from France?
Fancy fancy France, fancy France!
Once they were British
The queen's loyal subjects
But nobody objects to foreign romance!

Still, although they're hermaphrodites
Self-reproducible
Supply can't keep up with demand

Now her hand...

Thus I felt it was right
That I make them reusable

Servant! The scissors!
Now watch, this is grand!

When she's pliant and pale
And he's full to exceeding
I cut of his tail so that
He can keep feeding
And feeding and feeding and feeding and feeding
And she can keep bleeding and bleeding and bleeding and...
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!

Who's a darling?
Who's a dear?
Utterly humane
Friend to the insane
From Ophelia to King Lear
And if you could speak
I'd surely hear you squeak
"Dear Doctor Lymer, I love you too!"

Who's a little leech?
Here's a little clue:
Who's a little peach?
It's a little you!
Who's a little diamond
Slithery and slimy
Dearest little dove?
Who's a little love!

You might feel a little pinch
