Until Then (2019)

When you wrap your arms around me girl,
My heart - it does sing.
I can’t yet shout it from the rooftops,
Or indeed his wrath I’ll bring.
I hold my tongue and bite my lip,
Your scent still lingers here.
I only want to call you mine,
And yet, I must wait a year?
You’re not just another fish in the pond,
You are certainly special to me.
Yet, he doesn’t know my feelings for you,
So my secret you shall be.
My secret you shall be,
My secret you shall be.
My little angel gave me hope,
She’s oh so kind to me.
My secret you shall be,
My secret you shall be.
Has my soul found its match?
We will have to wait and see.
I never want these wonderful feelings,
To come to an end.
But we must wait until I’m free,
Until then, you’ll be my “Friend”.

Just Another Broken Housewife (2019)

They all see what she wants them to see. They can’t see the darkness inside. They can’t see the wounds that she gave herself. Wounds that she always hides. She fixes dinner, prays for release, and rolls over when it’s over cause she’s just another broken housewife.
She’s defective straight out of the box. She gets her happiness from a bottle. Just another pill down the shoot, then another, then another. She tucks the kids in, and does her very best to hold it all together for them. But she’s unraveling at the seams. She wants nothing more than to please cause she’s just another broken housewife.
No one can see her tears. No one can hear her screams. No one is there to care for her wounds. The black and blue patches that litter her skin. She’s good at hiding everything. She’s so good at holding everything in cause she’s just another broken housewife.

Bite Me (2019)

You’re so slick
Don’t you think so?
There’s no limit To how far you’ll go
You’re so sick
Yes I think so
My limits have been pushed
As far as they can go.
This wound I pick
Yes, for the blood flow
I’ve got stains I’ll never show
Don’t push me
Don’t test me
Don’t fight me
Just bite me
Ok a little fight
Now and then
And Over and over again.
Don’t you dare act like you care
I know the honest truth
You **** me dry
Empty and bare
You’ve ****** me of my youth
You’re so slick
Don’t you think so?
Cause I don’t.

Contemplation (2019)

Why does it have to be so hard?
You’ve left my broken heart
Why do I put up such a guard?
We’re here falling apart
Love me gently. Mind your screams.
You never could have known
Tears fall down in constant streams.
You chill me to the bone
Watch me turn away from you
Beg me not to go
The smoke surrounds me far from you
Up high is where I’ll go
Can we save this bleeding heart?
Is it worth the fight?
My heart says “Let it fall apart”
And maybe it is right.
What’s the point of this charade?
Round and round we spin
I’m dying where my head has laid
Please forgive me of my sins.
Why does it have to be so hard?
You’ve left me here to die
You’ve played your final hand of cards
So now I say goodbye.

Paranoid (Song) (2019)

Falling from my head
These thoughts that make us worry again
These thoughts that make us wonder again
These thoughts that make us
Falling from my head
This paranoia again
They’re watching us again
They’re always there to
Make me wonder
Am I safe?
Will they catch me?
Will they see?
It always makes me wonder
Can they hear me?
Can they see... Me?
Falling out of time
I dip and try to hide
From the monster I am inside
This monster growing
Makes me wonder,
Am I safe?
Will they catch me?
Will they see?
It always makes me wonder
Can they see?

Never, Ever, Let Me Go (Song) (2019)

Slip right through my fingers
Breathe her in
She is the beautiful
Embodiment of sin
Flesh meets flesh
I’ll hold her forever
Here in this haven
We’ve created together
Hover softly, gently now
Break the silence
Never the vow

Need like oxygen
Hold me close
Never, ever, let me go
Don’t leave me here
I’m just a ghost
Never, ever, let me go.

Eyes of maple
Lips like wine
Her gaze, her grace
I’ll make them mine
She sees my pain
Looks past the smile
Let’s stay here
just a little while
There’s a fire inside me
I can’t seem to put out
So i let her engulf me
Burn through the doubt
I get lost in her soul
Tangled up in her hair
Suddenly the world
Runs out of air

Need like oxygen
Hold me close
Never, ever, let me go
Don’t leave me here
I’m just a ghost
Never, ever, let me go.

She’s everything you’ve ever wanted
(Please don’t let me go)
She’s everything you’ve ever needed
(You’ll leave me feeling low)
She’s all you’ve ever dreamt of
(We can take it nice and slow)
But god told me once before
You reap just what you sow.

Need like oxygen
Hold me close
Never, ever, let me go
Don’t leave me here
I’m just a ghost
Never, ever, let me go.
Need like oxygen
Hold me close
Never, ever, let me go
Don’t leave me here
I’m just a ghost
Never, ever, let me go.

I beg of you, if you ever go
Please my dear, don’t let me know.

The Proof (2019)

PULLING the edges
Until THE blood comes through
The darkened SKIN
Never new TO you
Turn them into permanent FIXtures
Turn THEM into scars
Line your body with a constellation
of crooked moons and stars
RIPPING until it hurts
BECAUSE the PAIN IS the best part
Let THE PROOF run down your face
Prove you have a heart
DIG a little deeper NOW
til your nails turn red
Careful now SWEETHEART,
Any more and YOU'RE DEAD.
