Part 1
Woman, tell me what you want
And I'll calm down
without bleeding out
With my broken heart
that you stabbed for an hour
Woman,
I was freaking out because I want you to know
My beloved,you
are the lover of my impossible soul
And woman,
promise you'll stay and put off all your woes
I was bleeding out,
too much worry,I
could not get you at all
And if you said what you want,
You would laugh it off
But I know you won't go,
not for either class
Must you write it off
for the impossible soul?
And I was in a dream,
I was gone away without you
but not too slow
At last I put it off,
for I put it right
for the impossible soul
And all I couldn't sing,
I would say it all
My life to you,
if I could get you at all
Don't be a wreck,
trying to be something
that I wasn't at all
Seems I got it wrong,
I was chasing after something
that was gone
To the black of night
Now I know it's not
what I wanted at all
You'll say something like,
all you want is
all the world for yourself
And all I want is the perfect love,
though I know it's small
I won't love for its soul
And all I couldn't sing,
I would say it all
My life to you,
if I could get you at all
Oh, oh oh oh,
trying to be something
that I wasn't at all
Part 2
[Shara Worden & Sufjan Stevens
Do you want to be afraid?
Do you want to be afraid?
For life in the cage
where courage's mate
[04:20.96
For the scariest things
are not half as enslaved
Don't be distracted
don't be distracted
Do you want to be alone?
Do you want to be alone?
For life isn't stained
of righteousness pale
The seed and the hail,
all the clouds that have left
aren't interested
Don't be distracted,
don't be distracted
Do you want to love me more?
Do you want to love me more?
For love is the breath
If water and wind
is cursed by the same thing
that nurtured its shame
Is it worth all the work?
Don't be distracted,
don't be distracted
Have you failed to feel delight?(No I don't want to)
And have you failed to feel delight?(No I don't want to)
Instead of the love,
lived tired and lost,
Have you left it at last
Where it floundered its death
with the language of ghosts?
Don't be distracted,
don't be distracted
Do you want to be afraid?(No I don't want to feel pain)
Do you want to be afraid?(No I don't want to feel)
For life in the cage where
Where courage's mate
runs deep in the waves
For the scariest things
are not half as enslaved
Don't be distracted,
don't be distracted
Don't be distracted,
don't be distracted now
Part 3
[Sufjan Stevens
Stupid man in the window,
I couldn't be at rest
All my delight,
all that mattered,
I couldn't be at rest
From what I liked,
from what I gathered,
I couldn't be at rest
Stupid man in the window,
I couldn't be at rest
And don't be shy in the window
Come down and give your best
Oh, delight in the window
I couldn't be at rest
Stupid man in the window,
I couldn't be at rest
From what I liked,
from what I gathered,
I couldn't give my best
Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
it wasn't safe to breathe at all
Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
it wasn't safe to breathe at all
Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
it wasn't safe to breathe at all
Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
it wasn't safe to speak at all

Part 5 — "Pleasure Principle"
[Sufjan Stevens
I never meant to cause you pain
My burden is the weight of a feather
I never meant to lead you on
I only meant to please me, however
And then you tell me,
boy, we can do much more
Boy, we can do much more
Boy, we can do much more together
Boy, we can do much more together
I'm nothing but a selfish man
I'm nothing but a privileged peddler
And did you think I'd stay the night?
And did you think I'd love you forever?
And then you tell me,
boy, we can do much more
Boy, we can do much more
Boy, we can do much more together
Boy, we can do much more together
I got to tell you, girl,
I want nothing less
Girl, I want nothing less
Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure
Girl, I want nothing less than pleasure
I got to tell you,
boy, we made such a mess
Boy, we made such a mess
Boy, we made such a mess together
Boy, we made such a mess together
Boy, we made such a mess together
Boy, we made such a mess together
Boy, we made such a mess together
Boy, we made such a mess together
