Reckoning
The white moonlight washes over the desert
The world is so quiet
As the cactus flower blooms.
I am overwhelming
So I decide to have a reckoning
She looks at me with tears in her eyes
Skin so white
Just like the pale moonlight
I’ve seen those cracks and scars on myself
The bloody mouths
I feel the pain
And in turn, the pain feels me
The desert snakes burrow underground
Deep into the core,
the heart and the soul of the land.
The moon wants to leave me,
as it hides behind the tall mountains. ...

The moon wants to leave me,

Caligula (Rewrite)
unlucky in love
and I’m bleeding all over
never clicking and he says we never will
Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all
but Caligula, your time’s up
I’ve got the morning star
driving him to madness
my heels make me taller than him
see, I’m in control now
sexy, dark red, and soaked in blood
I am a giant
and I am not afraid to bounce back at Caligula
so I will knife out his eyes,
I will steal his wallet
as he has stolen my heart
The luckiest in love
and I will reverse our roles.

All You Ever Need
Every single day spent tirelessly
Creating the remarkable imitation of life itself
Take the blade and slash the skin, lightly
You’ll see styrofoam underneath
This is me, and that’s also me
I’m all you’ll ever need
Her hair is perfect, maybe it’s not real
With a sharp smile like razors on glass
Cocaine secrets disguised by red lipstick and nighttime drives.
Faithful like the drag of teeth pulling skin from the bone
She’s literally perfection
And maybe she’s all you’ll ever need
I know I said it wouldn’t happen again this...
Creating the remarkable imitation of life itself
Take the blade and slash the skin, lightly
You’ll see styrofoam underneath
This is me, and that’s also me
I’m all you’ll ever need
Her hair is perfect, maybe it’s not real
With a sharp smile like razors on glass
Cocaine secrets disguised by red lipstick and nighttime drives.
Faithful like the drag of teeth pulling skin from the bone
She’s literally perfection
And maybe she’s all you’ll ever need
I know I said it wouldn’t happen again this...

jealous
You can’t stop me from being just a little bit jealous
Yeah, I know it’s hard to watch
I know it can be troubling
Seeing me drag the knife across my neck
But I want to separate this part from my heart
Cute girls in red dresses, pretty girls in red scarves
I’m going to decapitate that stupid bitch and use her face as a doormat
Don’t look at me,
I don’t want you to see me.
Don’t look at me because you won’t prefer me,
Yeah, I know I’m just a little bit jealous..
I can’t help that I’ve always been a little bit jealous, you know ...

cartoon violence
How does it feel being something that most men just want to break?
Maybe it feels like all of the emptiness inside disappearing,
Or maybe it is just the opposite.
It is being filled with pain, pain that someone like you deserves
But you don’t say that
You can’t say that
So now you’re playing a victim, and now they’re all criminals
Love crimes and hate crimes galore
Gunfire in the theatre of despair
Here you are again
Black eyeliner tears hitting the concrete
Sneakers hitting the blacktop
Running away..
All of your love...

No One For Me (Donna Michelle)
Is there no one for me?
I’ll give two for you,
Or we can play me for you.
But you want three for her
And I'm not her, nor will I ever BE her.
And if you ever needed to know,
I’m a bleeding nose at the top of the stairwell
I'm the reason they need a ghost light
I’m crying black tears at the entrance
And I’ve been waiting for you, here...
I’ll give two for you,
Or we can play me for you.
But you want three for her
And I'm not her, nor will I ever BE her.
And if you ever needed to know,
I’m a bleeding nose at the top of the stairwell
I'm the reason they need a ghost light
I’m crying black tears at the entrance
And I’ve been waiting for you, here...

Pervert
You are the end,
or maybe you’re just at the end.
my head has always been in space
A head of long black hair and an innocent face.
In my world, I hate myself but you’re in love with me.
I change my clothes so often that you started to call me a pop star.
Didn’t I tell you I could be anything?
I’ve always been so different from other girls...
Forget.
I want to forget.
Stop trying to be my Dad
Stop trying now that you know that I’m sad
I’m madly, helplessly, obsessively, and forever maddeningly in...

The Veronica Paradox
Veronica
When I close my eyes, I see Veronica
In the middle of the night I close my eyes
and I dream about Veronica
My sweet Vero, my beloved Vero
the whirring of the fan in her bedroom
her kind and forgiving smile
that reminds me that it really is all good
She told me she’d invite me to every party,
and that my art will hang on her wall forever,
or at least until she moved into an apartment that didn’t have asbestos.
She and I named everything in her room,
and after class I’d stop by
the two of us sprawled on the...

Summer’s Superposition
I was once told to jump out of the black, and into the blue.
So I followed all the rules I knew
and I broke all of the rules I wanted to
I even sped my convertible naked and alone through Burbank.
It's my payroll, my body, my time, and my energy
It's my lifestyle, my sadness, my sexuality, my friends, and my family.
I was once told to look into someone's eyes when I am speaking to them.
So I fell in love with everyone I saw,
I fell in love with eyes, not people.
I licked the hot blacktop of southern California highways. ...

Kayla Takeuchi
Have you ever been moved to tears by a piano composition, Kayla?
I once laid in bed at 4 am with one of my best friends
and she played me a song and told me,
"This song is what I imagine being in love is like."
And I couldn't agree more.
We shed tears under her string lights,
And I did not sleep at all that night
Tell me, Kayla, do you know what being in love is like?
I listened to this music when I was 16, when I cried after class on the days where the sky was the biggest and brightest
And the clouds seemed to bumble just too fast ...
