Future Runaway Bride
03:32
|
|||
|
Intro (whispered)
Burn your pedestal
Break your cage
It’s hard to find a selfless heart
In a selfish day & age
Verse:
you’ll never love her
And you never could
But your intentions were good, your intentions were good
she’ll never trust you
She never could
But your intentions were good, your intentions were good
Chorus:
future runaway bride
another joyride
someday she’ll justify
Someday she’ll go
(x2)
Verse:
don't love without lying
Don’t lay without love
Does it feel like enough?
Does it feel like enough?
she’ll always manage
You’re just a bandage
Does it feel like enough?
Does it feel like enough??
Chorus
Vamp
Don’t ask her if she do because I promise she don’t
Verse
She’s a beautiful devil
She’s an angel who fell
Baby she’ll put you through hell
She’s gonna put you through hell
You’re no saint either
You don’t deserve to keep her
Cause you put her through hell
Yeah you put her through hell
chorus x3

Paw in the Honey
02:55
|
|||
|
Verse:
i feel like I could kill you
With my bare hands
I thought you were my teddy
You’re just another man
Chorus:
I'm so sick of your paw in the honey
I'm so sick of my bird in the hand
Wish I weren’t so lonely
For this man I can’t stand
Verse:
Could you ever love me
I don’t think that you can
You only love money
You’ve got such sticky hands
Chorus
Bridge:
Have you ever seen
A bumblebee
Drowning in honey
The things you love
Can eat you up
And kill you so sweetly
I wish I could see
You look at me
With eyes that aren’t hungry
Am I enough?
It eats me up
I'm feeling so empty
Oh honey
God, you’re lovely
I wish that you loved me!
Chorus x2

Right For Me
04:04
|
|||
|
you know I live impulsively
You’ve got me so terrified that I had to leave
There are holes in my hands sighing
I can’t sleep
I'm afraid you might be right for me
Right for me
Right for me
You don’t wanna keep me
We both want to be free
And paradoxically
That’s why you might be right for me
Your heart has a her shaped hole and you keep leaking
She’s got you so terrified that you had to leave
hide your pain in your debauchery
wrap it up in papers, up in pussy, up in your little schemes
Right for me
Right for me
Please don’t try to keep me
We both want to be be free
Paradoxically
That’s why you might be right for me
Love isn’t always discord
Love isn’t always hurt
I could love you gentle love you kind love you like you deserve
Love isn’t always hateful
Love isn’t always blue
I’ve got you cracking up and all confused cause I know you know I might be right for you
Right for you
Your opaque heart I still see through
Remains of faded love to be exhumed
They’re blistered and twisted and no longer true
I still might be right for you
Right for you
Right for you
id never try to keep you
Fuck the clock our timings off
It’s all too fast it’s over due
I still might be right for you

Dirty Mirror
02:37
|
|||
|
My mirror's dirty cause i want it to reflect me
I live alone because i do not need protecting
I live alone because i wanna be respected
I live alone because my mirror will reflect me
Stained glass houses and
Skipping stones
You smashed right through the eastern wall
the one that was tinted rose
My mirror's dirty cause i want it to reflect me
I live alone because i do not need protecting
I live alone because i wanna be respected
I live alone because my mirror will reflect me
I made you like a habit
I wore you like a nun
I worshiped you like a priestess
Til I devoured you like a tigress so
Now we try to treat each other cordially
With glacial formalities
There’s a lot of ice below the surface
There's a lot of ice below the surface
My mirror's dirty cause i want it to reflect me
I live alone because i do not need protecting
I live alone because i wanna be respected
I live alone because my mirror will reflect me
My mirror's dirty cause i want it to reflect me
I live alone because i do not need protecting
I live alone because i wanna be respected
I live alone because my mirror will reflect me

Treatment
03:09
|
|||
|
My body’s betraying me
But don’t worry I’m fine
Don’t push it when you ask how I’ve been
We both want me to lie
Chorus:
Cause Treatment is delicate
and Treatment takes time
Most people are broken or breaking
So try to play nice
It’s a sick cell block tango
And there’s nowhere to hide
The worst kinds of prisons are the ones
That we carry inside
My body’s betraying me
And so is my mind
It’s hard to feel beautiful and strong
It’s hard to walk with pride
Chorus
I don’t need no aggression
I don’t need well intentioned advice.
Just love me and hold me and understand that some things just won’t be alright
Cause treatment is delicate
Treatment takes time
I'm sorry i'm broken and you’re breaking
Let’s try to play nice

7 original deadly sins
7 years later I got new skin
Stay away sugar my patience is thin
I'm no princess I’m a kingpin
7 original deadly sins
7 years later I got new skin
Stay away sugar my patience is thin
I'm no princess I’m a kingpin
I'm shedding my
Snake skin!
You’re never gonna touch me
Ever again! (x2)
Every little thing is just too much
Every big thing is never enough
I'm a work of art honey
Do not touch
You are what you drink and I’m
Strong stuff
I'm shedding my
Snake skin!
You’re never gonna touch me
Ever again! (x2)
You’ll never interrupt me (ever again!)
You’ll never misjudge me (ever again!)
You’ll never corrupt me (ever again!)
You’re never gonna fuck me! (Ever again!)
You’ll never one-up me (ever again!)
There’s only one of me (tell all your friends!)
I'm out here becoming! (I'm shedding my skin!)
I'm shedding my
Snake skin!
You’re never gonna touch me
Ever again! (x2)

Just Miss Being in Love
01:49
|
|||
|
I don’t know if I miss you
Or do I just miss being in love?
I don't know if I miss you
Or do I just miss being in love?
I know I miss your sweet kisses
I know I miss your bear hugs
But I don’t know if I miss you
Or do I just miss being in love
When we met we were both young things
Had the world on a string
Isn’t it funny how that string gets tangled up?
And I don’t know if I miss you or do I just miss being in love?
I just miss being in love.

Fingernails

I'll remember the shapes of your fingernails
Because i love to play with hands
I'll write a sonata on the shores of your thighs
I'll write love notes in your soft sands
With my
Fingernails
Fingernails
my fingernails
my fingernails
I remember the shape of their denial
None of them dared to cut open their heart for me
None of them cared to sharpen a knife for me
my heart was aching so i plucked it out and now
I’ve got blood under my
Fingernails
Fingernails
Fingernails
Fingernails
'a wild woman hypocrite who's afraid of wild things
If i set you free do you promise you'll return to me?
I won’t ask about the dirt under your nails if you don’t ask about the blood under mine
(I won’t ask about the dirt on your mind if you don’t ask about the blood clouding mine)
Chorus:
Give me a hand
Be it help or applause
Cause i thrive on praise
Cause i constantly fall
And I’ll hold it close and ill kiss the beds of your
Fingernails

Uncanny Valley
03:15
|
|||
|
She smiles just like a doll
Her eyes are hard and glassy
Like she’s never cried at all
She’s a perfect painting of
The femininity you fear
You want it and you hate it and it isn’t even real
Uncanny valley
Fill it up with toys
Stick em all with needles
Throw em to the boys
Uncanny valley
Where all your idols play
Do you want flesh or plastic?
Do you want to die today?
I'm used to painting on the roses in my cheeks
I'm used to being told unless you’re spoken to don’t speak
I'm used to holding knives inside my mouth until it bleeds
I’d rather be lonely if it means i can be free
Uncanny valley
Fill it up with toys
Stick em all with needles
Throw em to the boys
Uncanny valley
Where all your idols play
Do you want flesh or plastic?
Do you want to die today?
You hate us when we pass
And you hate us when we don’t
You hate us when we’re masculine
You punish if we’re not
At a certain point honey you’re gonna have to admit it
There’s no magic ideal i think you just hate women!
Uncanny valley
The toys came to life
They plucked out all their needles
They’ll pluck out your hungry eyes
Uncanny valley
All your idols will decay
Cause despite themselves they’re made of flesh
Despite themselves they’ll pay

Harpy

You saw a pretty face so you ignored my talons
I must have shitty taste cause you’re a pretty bland man
I'm not just a pretty face don’t ignore my talent
Don’t you dare ignore me or I’ll scream
I'm eating you up
You’re eating this up
You think I still want you but I know that we’re done
I'm giving you up
I told you i was
You’re boring and I'm sick of pouring
From an empty cup
art is only heartbreak
ancient cries into the night
a smooth heart can’t create
a hairy heart will fight
I'm eating you up
You’re eating this up
You think I still want you but I know that we’re done
I'm giving you up
I told you i was
You’re boring and I'm sick of pouring
From an empty cup
underwater feeling
hold my breath until it burns,
drink the moons reflection
a hairy heart will hurt
I'm eating you up
You’re eating this up
You think I still want you but I know that we’re done
I'm giving you up
I told you i was
You’re boring and I'm sick of pouring
From an empty cup
