pandora's aquarium
she dives for shells
with her nautical nuns
and thoughts you thought
you'd never tell

i am not asking you to believe in me
boy i think you're confused
i'm not persephone
foam can be dangerous
with tape across my mouth
those things you do
i never asked you how

line me up in single file
with all your grievances
stare but i can taste
you're still alive
below the waste
ripples come and ripples go
and ripple back to me

she's in new york somewhere
checking her accounts
the lord of the flies was diagnosed as sound....

"You know when you've cried and cried, and you really can't cry anymore, so you're very quiet? I started hearing the water, and Pandora - the last song on the record - came to me. She was sort of warning me that there are so many feelings under the rocks that I needed to turn into. She told me, 'You need to dive into this one, Tori, because your healing is in there. Once you go, it's a whole new journey, but you've got to metaphorically leave this little dock and come with me to find out what's really in this ocean of feelings.' So i did. And that's where I met these songs."
