The Cameo
03:22

Goodnight monster under my bed
My eyes are heavy lead
Keeping you well fed
Sweet dreams of lovers past
Flying them at half-mast
But thanks for visiting again
Good morning peeking in
Casting shadow bars like prison
Press painfully on my lids
Fast forward through my day
Tonight I’ll fight my sleep again
Watch me on the evening show
Provoked by your cameo
Goodnight monster under my bed
My eyes are heavy lead
Keeping you well fed
And you bring me back to these familiar places
The rooms are dimmer but no one here seems to notice
Then I realize that I’m the one haunting these houses
Watch me on the evening show
Provoked by your cameo
In my dreams
Reminding me that you’re not just a small part, but the Star
Apparition
You live at the house at the end of the street
Apparition
You wonder the hall; you’re the new girl in school
Invisible but I know you’re there
Just waiting to scare
Everyone who’s ever loved you

Pendulum

Swing, swing from the pendulum
In time I’ll slice you in half
One side for each of mine to dine on
If you saw it from my view
And knew this push/tug on my stomach
As I hang on against momentum
My angles and devils
They dance together
I’m sorry you had to
Witness their friendship
I swear that I am doing much better
I have been told my charisma is infected
I stand inside of you
We could give into this elation
Would we venture out?
Or would this end in hesitation?
Your bullets were induced and then sprayed all about
I stand outside of you
To see what you cannot
You show me how you bruise
But you’re not as damaged as I thought
Your bullets were induced and then sprayed all about
I stand inside of you
And put everything back as it once was
We’ll introduce you again to the world inside out
Your bullets were induced and then sprayed all about
My angles and devils
They dance together
I’m sorry you had to
Witness their friendship
For seven years you’ve been attached
I’m sorry you had to reach and scratch
As I strike the match to burn these bridges

Ballerina

Running away I couldn’t stay
Couldn’t handle one more
Hitting the wall at full speed
With you I’m intrigued
You’re dancing around
Spinning the floor
You arabesque out my door
Dance like a ballerina
You know just how beautiful
You are so casual in my heart
Am I in love?
You’re not the one I’m thinking of
Can you give me a second chance,
To romance?
This is between you and me
Not his circle of friends
You’re dancing around
Spinning the floor
You arabesque out my door
Dance like a ballerina
You know just how beautiful
You are so casual in my heart
I've been thinking about moving to Virginia
What does your brother think of that?
You’re my secret crush
I guess I’ll just leave it at that

Amorous

She slips on the ring like lingerie in a scandalous affair
Oh, what big eyes you have
Better to see me with
Oh, the lust on your lips
Loving you is dangerous
You sense the beat of my heart
You feel it palpitate
Oh my trust on your lips
You go in for the kill
I want you still
To devour me
|

You know that I am unheard of
Do your flies follow me?
Know you’re the giant I took on
You and your affiliation
And then you question salvation
Am I the real thing?
A dereliction of my faith
Did not live up to your expectations
Where do we go from here, I’m naked
Yes dear, I can hear you fake it
And then I see you approaching
With your super human strength
You’re going to rescue everyone
By telling them how much they’re wrong
I’m a liar, I’m a thief
A prostitute, a chief
It must be such relief to finally rid of me
Where do we go from here, I’m naked
Yes dear, I can hear you fake it
I wish you’d realize this is not my demise
But I’m learning to synchronize my swimming

You see my love like a movie
Where you directed the scenes
We will capture the moment
To relive on the screen
You stare at me every second
24 frames at a time
I have learned every lesson
That I can memorize
I had the squib close to my heart
Pretend bullet meets the fake blood
I felt the singe like a martyr
Open my eyes, let’s go again
‘Cause I’m a heroine
That no one will ever see
No, it’s not your fault
You’re gonna fall in love me
I’ll keep it in a vault
So no one will ever see
No, it’s not your fault
I am full of moxie
You put us on a mix tape
You hid me in the songs
All you need is to press play
Hear what we had all along
Rewind to summon me
But I’m wearing out…
I hear your voice between magnets
I love the noise from the speakers
You know you are all I wanted
When you play guitar, knees get weaker
‘Cause I’m a heroine
That no one will ever see
No, it’s not your fault
You’re gonna fall in love me
I’ll keep it in a vault
So no one will ever see
No, it’s not your fault
I am full of moxie
I neglect the feelings I get
I eject the mangled cassette
I pull it out
Out from my chest
Tangled feelings that I’m healing

Breaths of Light
04:33
|

Evening sun, the sky is bleeding
There’s a fire but still there is a breeze
Your touch, it’s the same feeling
I get with you when I’m at peace
So calm, inspired love
It passes understanding
I am these breaths of light
Peering through collided
Branches at the top of trees
She pushes up the moon
Surrounded by navy blue
Reminds me of a dark sweet entity
And so we burn from all these horrors
Simmering hurt
This heated anger
This heated passion
This small frame holding too much to mention
Make all the boys laugh
Make all the boys cry
This is your lead into their
Momentary spot light
Thank you for Twenty-One
Your pulse-ring laugh
I’m here on behalf of me
And your addiction to coffee

Unforgiving Sun
04:21
|

|
I sold my soul so they’d tell the truth
“Have faith, my son,” when I asked for proof
Subjected myself to their abuse
They called it “love” and then pressed down on the bruise
I need to back up a distance
From that unforgiving sun
I once absorbed your warmth
And now you want to scorch everything in sight
Please tell me this is not how it is
That I just misunderstood
There is still a seed in me that can overcome
My bad and my good
The more that I seek this closeness
The more those devils resurface
I tend to forgo forgiveness
And these hurts are embedded in my chest
I know the future in my memories
I change the future in these daydreams
I didn’t mean to vilify your screams
Maybe your way of just reaching me
Please tell me this is not how it is
That I just misunderstood
There is still a seed in me that can overcome
My bad and my good
Swung from the gallows
Quick to pass judgment
Slam down the gavel
You gave my sentence
Now let me live it down
Cannot outrun that approaching sun
Pull up a seat and just swing along
With company who’ll invite the calm
Enjoy the view to a final song
And I will pretend
To not be afraid
…and wait for the end

I fell for this cute waitress
Reminded me of a certain actress
She took an interest
One glance was her incision
I met a waitress
She looked like Marisa Tomei
She was a temptress
Tried to get me drunk to have her way
I often reminisce
“I could be married to this kiss”
Is there a future for this?
Yes, Yes, with Jetpacks
You’re still the craving when I get out of bed
You are the thought stuck in my head
We’re beautiful like the living dead
A thousand nights, and it’s time for bed again
I met a waitress
She looked like Marisa Tomei
She was a temptress
Tried to get me drunk to have her way
I often reminisce
“I could be married to this kiss”
Is there a future for this?
Yes, Yes, with Jetpacks
You were the waitress
I still see you as young today
And if you break this
I’ll throw all of the music away
I often reminisce
“I could be married to this kiss”
I want a future for us with Jetpacks

Calico
05:03

You’re made up of shades
Patches of this and that
Carry on the charade
With scratches upon my back
You break the skin
After I let you in
You trace my leg
Lose you to the night again
What is it you want?
You say you don’t know
What I could bestow
I ask you to stay
You say you must go
(What I could bestow)
You love me today
But tomorrow you don’t know
Your colors and shades like a calico
I hear your meow
And I ask you how
You can purr-fect that growl
Like a lioness on the prowl
You’re in love with change
And faces you do not know
Your colors and shades like a calico
Here you are October again
Like violins the notes bend
Sadness into beauty and a
Sentiment I cannot comprehend
Here you are fallen in sin
Like violins the notes blend
In the silence of chilled air
All my emotions then rush in
Here you are my fall friend
These violins do extend
Vulnerabilities in just one wind
Sad is beautiful once again
