Here's the song Pete debuted last week on the Attic show.  Lyrics are 
complex so still questionable in spots.  Transcription courtesy of

Uncertain Girl

See a drunken child
Flying through a dark dream
Trying in vain to fight
The lust in his arms

Soothing hands scratching her
Revealing plans hatching
Her only hope,
Her only hope
Trusting in his charm

She smiled back his smile at him
Beguiled back his guile but then
Reflection was always her art

He raised up a light to her
She did not fight
For her shudder (?)
Had frozen her heart

Uncertain girl in uncertain world
Love to her always unreal
Uncertain girl in uncertain world
Who breaks wings on steel rings
Like a butterfly broke on a wheel

She married men
Time and again
It was always me
Who gave away her face

The candles burn
Each lover yearns
To be a husband, a warm husband
In a cold, rapist place

She smiled back her smile at him
Beguiled back their guile but then
Reflection was always her art
She raised up the light post
So they did not fight ‘cause
Her anger had frozen their hearts

Uncertain girl in uncertain world
Before the ride I'll kneel (??)
Uncertain girl in uncertain world
Who breaks wings on steel rings
Like a butterfly broke on a wheel

And so her eyes were panicing
A silent of cry of challenging
No one but me saw his plane
She made her pledge now to him
Leapt the ledge down through him

And then she learned
As her husband yearned
She really wanted
To be married to me
