and you, you bitch
with your prison guard keys
you followed me home
and you spat demands
in my face

stop! fall! lie! (lie)
silent. still. (still)
breaktheunfuckingbreakable

so i shot myself
in the head
in the heart
in the mirror

lips worn pale
drinking your poison
the taste of us both
on a sliver of ice

in the head
in the heart
in the mirror

and all i can think is
i am so out of focus
i am so out of focus

phantasm

seventeen, i was
seventeen, when i met you
seventeen times you
broke my heart

seventeen stab wounds
seventeen, a prime number
perfect conclusion
seventeen

seventeen years since
i tried to leave here, but you
nailed me down with knives
and bled me

seventeen dreams each
night, then i wake up always
and forever, still
seventeen

Eyes like glass mistakes

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn’t felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables
Which I am yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I’ve got nothing to give

I take it back, all of it
Those names I called myself
The heros of my childhood
Like hardbacks on the shelf
I take it back, those promises

I wish I could say I’ve clung to time like gold
But as you said goodbye, I almost died

Latest studio shoot with Kitty

In the midst of the launch of Sublime Rush, everything else was put on the back-burner for a bit, but now my life, work and brain have returned to normal(ish) and I’d like to show you some of the pictures Kitty and I created in the studio recently.

That one involves super-cute heart-shaped pasties covered with rhinestones (from Ann Summers) and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and prints are available from Fotki and deviantART.

That one is a preview of a set we shot for Zivity, and you can find it on Flickr and deviantART, and buy prints from Fotki and deviantART. The Zivity set isn’t up yet but I’ll post here as soon as it goes live. In the meantime, if you’re on Zivity or are going to join, come find me and say hi. My username there is (surprisingly enough) RockstarVanity.

That one is a preview of the Morning Haze set, now viewable on ViolentlyBeautiful.com. You can get a print of that picture here, in Fotki. There’s a whole heap more alt glamour and modern pin-up prints in this folder on Fotki.

These tasty bits were also posted on AltDiva, LiveJournal and MySpace.
