heroine [DEMO]
03:51
|
|||
watching as the fire consumes us
waiting, praying for the rain
i want to help but i feel helpless
like there’s nothing i can change
who am i when i’m not giving
who am i when i receive
how am can i just keep on living
watching others as they bleed
i know that i’m supposed to see
a light right there in front of me
but i see only darkness up ahead
i know that i’m supposed to find
someway to keep me peace of mind
but i fear the only peace i’ll find is death
watching as the clock is ticking
waiting, praying for relief,
I can feel my conscience slipping
as I fade back in to sleep
i know that i’m supposed to fight
I know that none of this is right
but I can barely stand on my two feet
i want to be your heroine
I want to love my home again
but this burlesques reveals no part for me
Just what am i supposed to do
When lies have gone and murdered truth
When hearts cannot be heard over the screams
The ghost of our democracy
is not enough to comfort me
And if I must, I’ll fight to live my dream

Of Lily & Lorelei
02:46
|
|||
Lily was a good girl, she wore white cotton lace
Never did you see her without a smile on her face
She was marrying an artist with a heart of gold
She loved him for his smile and the stories that he told
Lorelei, her sister, wasn't such a pleasant dame
She wore dark sunglasses and laughed at those in pain
She saw Lily's fiancee waiting for her by the stairs
Stripped him in a second, and danced away without a care
Lorelei, my love
Lorelei, my love
I could never love you
like the pain you cause does.
The fiancee was a wreck from that day on, or so I hear
Just waiting for a whisper from Lorelei in his ear
Lily never knew about the deed her sister did
When she tried to kiss him, her fiancee ran and hid
Lorelei watched as the scene played before her eyes
The smile on her face being her only disguise
She sidled up beside him and she said to him sweetly
"Isn't it ironic how I've ruined you completely?"
Lorelei, my love
Lorelei, my love
I could never love you
like the pain you cause does
Lorelei, my love
Lorelei, my love
I could never love you
like the pain you cause does.
Lily was a good girl, she wore white cotton lace
Never did you see her without a smile on her face
She was marrying an artist with a heart so freshly torn
By Lorelei, her sister, and the sunglasses she wore.

Crying Wolf
03:17
|
|||
woke up crying out in pain
taking the lord’s name in vain
went to the doctor, he said “no,
i can’t see it, it’s not so,
you’re just thinking so damn hard
pretty thing, you’re seeing stars
take a rest, this will subside”
he thinks that I’m telling lies
i can see it in his eyes
awooo
she is crying wolf, she’s just crying wolf
she might be sick but i’ve seen sicker
why smoke grass when you’ve got liquor
why drink gin when whiskey’s sweeter
why pay paul when you stillill owe peter
why say red when you mean grey
why say go when you mean stay
why purr when you want to growl
why wait, sister, do it now,
bare your teeth and howl
awooo
she is crying wolf, she’s just crying wolf
wounded but i do not bleed
how can i heal what i can’t see
wounded but they don’t believe
how can i heal what i can’t see
awooo
she is crying wolf, she’s just crying wolf

Pretty Girl [A Lullaby]
02:19
|
|||
Pretty girl, pretty girl
You're more than just pretty, girl
You will take this city, girl
You will save the world
They will love you for your heart
They will love you for your art
I'll love you till I fall apart
My pretty, pretty girl
You can't see it but I know
I see it as I watch you grow
I pray that time will start to slow
I pray the world stands still
So I can save this in my head
As I tuck you into bed
I never want to forget
I pray I never will
You teach me something every day
I watch you dance and watch you play
As I wipe your tears away
I see you standing tall
You are more than what they think
Like books are more than pad and ink
You're more than just the color pink
You can do it all

Clap If You Believe
03:13
|
|||
My light is going out
It’s getting darker now
I tried to save you all somehow
But I can’t save myself
I used to be so bright
A star among the night
Illuminating, I’m alright
But now I’ve lost my shine
I’ve been drinking poison far too long and deep
Barreling desperately towards my eternal sleep
I’ve always been there to look before you leap
Now I need you to clap if you believe
I’ve been afraid to ask
But now I’m fading fast
And so at longest last
I’m reaching for your hand
Ive been drinking poison far too sickly sweet
desperately trying not to give in to disease
I’ve always been there to think before you speak
Now I need you to clap if you believe
My light is going dim
They say power is within
So maybe there’s no way to win
This game I never wanted to play.
You say that it’s poison but it tastes like wine to me
I’m just celebrating my continued victory
Successfully regretting the truth I’m bound to bleed
I need you to clap if you believe

changeling

take me back under the mound
i am lost and can’t be found
take me back under the mound
i am lost
i don’t belong here
i don’t belong here
i’ve felt it for a long time
something’s going on here
i don’t remember
I don’t remember
you say it was just yesterday
but it seems like forever
take me back under the mound
i am lost and can’t be found
take me back under the mound
i am lost
my flesh betrays me
it disobeys me
pretending i’m not gossamer
has gutted and fileted me
i can’t surrender
i don’t remember
you say it’s been a couple months
but it feels like forever
take me back under the mound
i am lost and can’t be found
take me back under the mound
i am lost
i am lost
in ironside
take me back under the mound
i am lost and can’t be found
take me back under the mound
i am lost

welcome to the ratrace racetrack honey
where you gonna put that put that money
you look like you could use some help
maybe you should learn to help yourself
you can bet it all on duloxetine
on yoga, cyclobenzaprine
but i say bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps
you can bet it all on duloxetine
on yoga, cyclobenzaprine
but i say bet in on the bootstraps
bad luck never looked so good
prettiest pauper in the neighborhood
man down, stand down, please, god, take the pain
turns out god doesn’t take medicaid
you can bet it all on duloxetine
on yoga, cyclobenzaprine
but i say bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps
you can bet it all on DBT
on diet, prayer, and therapy
but i say bet in on the bootstraps
have faith in yourself
[bet it, bet it, bet it on the bootstraps]
and trust no one else
[bet it, bet it, bet it on the bootstraps]
have faith in yourself
[bet it, bet it, bet it on the bootstraps]
and trust no one
and trust no one else
bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps
you can bet it all on DBT
on diet, prayer, and therapy
but i say bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps
bet it on the bootstraps

Times up, butter cup, I just had a premonition
Someday soon I’ll confiscate your ammunition
As it turns out, boys like you tend to go crazy
I think that that kinda weapon’s safer with a pretty lady
That’s nice, mister man, sure, I think you’re very smart
But that kind of privilege isn’t for the faint of heart
What if your wife leaves you for a bigger better Tom or Dick
And you go shoot up a school because you can’t handle your shit?
There is a solution
With perfect execution
Im sure you fought it tooth and nail
It is for the best
You fellas need some rest
Because you’re being so typically male
Give me your gun now Sugar just in case
Give me your gun I swear that I’ll keep it safe
I just can’t trust that you know your place
Don’t try to run, the time has come)
give me your gun
if you ask real nice, there’s a way make it better
You just need your wife to send us a formal letter
Actually, on second thought, i don’t think you meet the guidelines
Have a nice day, sweetheart, hope you have better luck next time
Sir, please step aside, there’s no need to raise your voice
Yes, I understand, but you do not have a choice
You don’t comprehend the consequences of your actions
Now hand over your rifle, darlin,
And you stop overreacting
Give me your gun now Sugar just in case
Give me your gun I swear that I’ll keep it safe
I just can’t trust that you know your place
Don’t try to run,what’s done is done
give me your gun

Hey There
02:58
|

Hey there, pretty boy
You don't get to make my choice
Hey there, pretty boy
Don't you tread on me
This has been long time coming
And you better speak the truth
When you make a deal with the devil
He is gonna follow you
You can say that we are hunters
I guess that makes you the prey
You can run but you can't hide now
The witches have come out to play
Hey there, pretty boy
You don't get to take my voice
Hey there, pretty boy
Don't you tread on me
You protect the wolf among you
You play blind and grant reprieve
But he howls and bites and growls
And leaves a trail of bloody sheep
You can say that you're our sister
But you speak with silver tongues
You can't tame a wolf or mister
And you'll pay for what you've done
Hey there, pretty girl,
Watch your step, this ain’t our world
Hey there, pretty girl,
Don't you tread on me
