November
Autumn leaves were falling
like my heart pieces were fluttering
to the ground below.
The first time nearly killed me
and I thought that time would heal me,
but I had to go.
The mistakes that I have made
almost all involve your face
now its dark outside.
I had a million different plans;
you pushed me down instead of help me stand,
so I said goodbye.
You never even missed me
you never made a sound
you never pulled me up from the water
you held my head in and let me drown
I thought if I kept...
like my heart pieces were fluttering
to the ground below.
The first time nearly killed me
and I thought that time would heal me,
but I had to go.
The mistakes that I have made
almost all involve your face
now its dark outside.
I had a million different plans;
you pushed me down instead of help me stand,
so I said goodbye.
You never even missed me
you never made a sound
you never pulled me up from the water
you held my head in and let me drown
I thought if I kept...

Cardiac
Heartache is a cancer
eats your bones down to the marrow
holds on tight when you should be in remission
like addiction
a drug you can't get out of your mind
it doesn't matter how much time
I relapse
I relapse
I relapse
I fell right into place
I didn't know that I could be erased
I saw the shadows lurking on your face
as you lied to me to secure your brace
my demons rejoiced in my masochism
my love for you, turned its back on self-heroism
scars on my knees; you were impossible to...
eats your bones down to the marrow
holds on tight when you should be in remission
like addiction
a drug you can't get out of your mind
it doesn't matter how much time
I relapse
I relapse
I relapse
I fell right into place
I didn't know that I could be erased
I saw the shadows lurking on your face
as you lied to me to secure your brace
my demons rejoiced in my masochism
my love for you, turned its back on self-heroism
scars on my knees; you were impossible to...

I'm just a girl
wild like my father
soft like my mother
I let the wind rip through my curls
I'm just a girl
heart always on fire
about one thing or another
dripping tears on a glass top like pearls
I'm just a girl
my love is a heart shaped locket
keep me forever in your pocket
take me along and show me the world
I'm just a girl
tossed as the ocean
quiet as a moment
I pace barefoot on my apartment floor
I'm just a girl
lullabies to tire
my demons they are liars
and they scream...
wild like my father
soft like my mother
I let the wind rip through my curls
I'm just a girl
heart always on fire
about one thing or another
dripping tears on a glass top like pearls
I'm just a girl
my love is a heart shaped locket
keep me forever in your pocket
take me along and show me the world
I'm just a girl
tossed as the ocean
quiet as a moment
I pace barefoot on my apartment floor
I'm just a girl
lullabies to tire
my demons they are liars
and they scream...

Little Wolves
Come here little darlings
I know the wind can scream scary
and we've been walking through the storm
but I'll protect you
Stay by me little wolves
I'll always be your Luna
and though the forest has caught fire
I'll provide for you
You don't ever have to be scared
I love you more than I can bear
even when I'm not there
if you call I'll come running I swear
Close your eyes little ones
I'll watch over you when there is no sun
we can play by the water in the morning
and I'll chase you as you run
...
I know the wind can scream scary

Swallow It
Am I alive?
Am I a ghost?
I feel so haunted.
I've been trapped in here
with skeletons
hung in my closet
Notice me.
My fingertips drip with the blood I bleed
impossibly
deep I sink into the abyss that lives inside of me
and suddenly
white lightning will shatter the atmosphere
when I blink back the tears
nobody will see me here
isolation is endless as I swallow it
Lumps in my throat
I feel the panic start to rise in my chest
nauseated
when I heave I can feel the darkness strangling me
I...
Am I a ghost?
I feel so haunted.
I've been trapped in here
with skeletons
hung in my closet
Notice me.
My fingertips drip with the blood I bleed
impossibly
deep I sink into the abyss that lives inside of me
and suddenly
white lightning will shatter the atmosphere
when I blink back the tears
nobody will see me here
isolation is endless as I swallow it
Lumps in my throat
I feel the panic start to rise in my chest
nauseated
when I heave I can feel the darkness strangling me

Dark Venus
So weak
so broken
nuclear war took its toll on me
I tried to run
I thought I made it
but the bombs kept coming
Face down
in the dirt
It's so hard to crawl when you can't move
poison in my lungs
It's hard to breathe when everything you are is on fire
I watched you destroy who I was
I listened to you tell me I was nothing
I let you beat my heart
I heard everything you ever said
I saw the lies as they came out of your mouth
I let myself believe them
I don't know
how long I laid...
so broken

Mouse in a Cage
Why can't anybody hear me?
I'm beating on the walls
My fingernails are bloody
from scraping at the door
Why am I always losing?
Is there ever any more?
My legs are shaking as I push
myself up from the floor
Somebody
please come let me out
I know I say stupid things
I'll learn to shut my mouth
Please help me
I need him like I breathe
I'm so sorry, babe
please come back to me
Will I be trapped here forever?
In this cage inside my mind
every time I mess up
the light goes out...
I'm beating on the walls
My fingernails are bloody
from scraping at the door
Why am I always losing?
Is there ever any more?
My legs are shaking as I push
myself up from the floor
Somebody
please come let me out
I know I say stupid things
I'll learn to shut my mouth
Please help me
I need him like I breathe
I'm so sorry, babe
please come back to me
Will I be trapped here forever?
In this cage inside my mind
every time I mess up
the light goes out...

Rise of the Scorpion
Spit in my face
My eyes are on fire
Knock a hole in the wall
I'll grit my teeth tighter
Empower yourself
Shredding my dignity in vain
I'm a steel statue before you
That will never show pain
Your love is a disgrace
I feel sorry for the next
My iridium's glow
Unearthed the hole in your chest
You never took the time
To look into my mind
You hunted weakness instead
And you know that you're mine
I cleared the path until you reached the pedestal
I surrendered to you my freedom
Yet you...
My eyes are on fire
Knock a hole in the wall
I'll grit my teeth tighter
Empower yourself
Shredding my dignity in vain
I'm a steel statue before you
That will never show pain
Your love is a disgrace
I feel sorry for the next
My iridium's glow
Unearthed the hole in your chest
You never took the time
To look into my mind
You hunted weakness instead
And you know that you're mine
I cleared the path until you reached the pedestal
I surrendered to you my freedom
Yet you...
