Tori Amos
I'm trying not to move, it's just your ghost passing through
Tori Amos
From in the shadow she calls. And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way. And in the shadow she crawls, clutching her faded photograph. My image under her thumb. Yes with a message for my heart. She’s been everybody else’s girl maybe one day she’ll be her own.
Tori Amos
You don't have to justify everything. Being pissed off is just absolutely okay.
Tori Amos
