Hannah Fury - Girls that glitter love the dark

Girls that glitter love the dark
We lace it through our bitter, black little hearts
And then we feign surprise when we see
That those we've loved to love
Have seeped into our poisoned blood

Girls that glitter deceive death
We thread ourselves through innocent flesh
And then we feign surprise when we see
That those we've loved to waste they seem to be erased

Knit it through, thread it, sew it to unsuspecting flesh
They won't regret it, or so they say
And those you have loved have snagged on your thorny veins
But they don't regret it, or so you say

Girls that glitter desecrate a kiss
We break the code of happiness
And then we feign surprise when we see
That those we've loved have loved to leave

Girls that glitter defile hope
We think that love is just tightening that sad little rope
And then we open our eyes and we see
Through the gash of a fluttering eyelash

We see love trying desperately to flee
But you don't ever have to fear
Just break its wings and it will never disappear
You don't ever have to fear
Just break its wings and it will never disappear

Knit it through, capture it and stitch it to
your brittle little heart
At least that way love can't tear it apart
Knit it through, sew it to
They won't regret you
...And if they do?

But the thing that girls know best
Is that glitter covers all the ugliness
And they know one thing above all the rest:
Sparkle covers evilness
Shimmer covers all the mess
Glitter covers darkness
And then came the moment when the swarm of bees drowned

Hannah Fury began her self-teaching process of mastering the piano at the age of 16 after finding inspiration in a song which she described as having coalesced in her mind—naming it "The Vampire Waltz." By the early 1990s she initiated the process of producing and releasing her own music, starting with a four-song demo tape. Eventually the songs from this tape were developed into the self-released EP "Soul Poison" in 1998.

Since then, Hannah’s has released two full-length albums as well as a handful of singles and EPs, all receiving high praise from the music press. "The Thing That Feels" featured several songs inspired by Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. (Pre-dating the Broadway musical by several years.) The Thing That Feels also included “The Vampire Waltz,” as well as other songs all linked by the theme revealed in the title.

Hannah Fury has been called a “parasol-wielding OutKast” and her music has been described as “unnerving yet simultaneously beautiful.” Hannah says she hopes her music sounds like “a carousel in deep, warped space or a carnival under water — something dense and ferocious with thin, shimmery tendrils shooting out from it in all directions.”
