Car Talk
Calli Kirra Jun 2014
Ten for a ticket, come and see
Or you could bring drinks for three
"Sorry babe, I'm just busy"
Busy with sisters and powder
Taking my time calling back about later
Put my Carmen face on,
Gotta get what I came for
No time to think it through
I did what I had to do
Calli Kirra Jan 2014
I'd think,
How much did I really affect him?
Baby you didn't answer
You didn't have to
For, as soon as the screaming was done, and us was gone,
You rearranged your whole room

Butterfly, Fly
Calli Kirra Jun 2016
My eyes, they wander like a monarch in summer
And I guess I do understand
But the lovergirl in me,
Wishes faithfully,
To do right by your shaking hands

I tried to say aloud,
I love you and I'm proud,
I suppose skin-to-skin it's true
But when I'm out and all alone,
I'm looking for the best,
When all I should see is you

And I know what they say,
You feel it when it comes
Maybe I will never know
My silver heart clangs,
Fighting with my brain
On whether I should stay or go
I didn't want to write about him this way

So bad
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
If innocence was measured in Halloween candy collected,
You'd be nine and I'd be nineteen
Empty bag,
Drunk off my ***
Howling at the moon
All hot for the street

Dancing
Calli Kirra Oct 2014
Now he's dancing with me to Sea of Teeth
And all the milky air will love our paper cuts
Keep us wrapped up
There won't be any prickles and pins of not enough

Little Boys Can't Have Wine
Calli Kirra Feb 2014
Yeah
Okay
Look at me like I'm so crazy
For drinking wine
But what did you do this very last night?
I don't know where Im going with this, all I know is you're an idiot and now I have ******* PROOF that you're an idiot but ill never get to use it in an argument because you're a little speck that's already dissolved

The Happy EP
Calli Kirra Mar 2014
Sun!
My purple is back,
Gold, fills in
Rosy cheeks, painted feet
And he is so good
The beach,
You and me
May, July
The best in between
Streets, how you cradle me
I'm just filling up with the electric chords and drum beats
Nini, Nani, my Sophie
My babies
I love these

I don't want to like this band
This stupid awful band
But it's like they read us like a book
And I can't get enough

When the Noise Stops
Calli Kirra Sep 2013
I will see you
And all will be still
You'll be standing at the end of the pier
Looking at the water
I will run to you
Your name tastes so sweet
And we will go

Light, In Two Ways
Calli Kirra May 2015
I'd rather it eat me
Than the other way around
Walking, like floating over ground
The satisfaction of slipping through a fence
Seeing light between my legs
Light
But I know it's really dark

The Never-Ending Night Game
Calli Kirra Mar 2016
A whole lotta Hi's in the middle of the night,
Let's hope there's no second message for a third time
Let's hope it's fate that I was asleep,
And that the time before, you didn't reply
Let's hope we'll listen and pick up the clue
Or at least if we don't, we won't need to
For my eyes will be tight while you're up and out,
And you'll be scarce like you are while I'm running around
348 · Jun 2014
What a turn off
Calli Kirra Jun 2014
Don't fall asleep with the dryer on
Don't fall asleep with your heating pad on
With your bed light on,
With the tv on
Don't fall asleep with your weeping on
Your sleep walking on
All the stereos on

All of Me Screaming
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
Hours fly after nine
Mind screams and tries to hide
Fingers hold on for the ride
Heart beats and kills time
Eyes dead set and always up
Toes cross and ask for luck
Wrists bound,
Untie with sound
Head packs up for underground
346 · Mar 2015
Lines for the Road
Calli Kirra Mar 2015
Driving reckless in your car,
Going fast, goin far,
Oh, anywhere we are
Take me fast, take me far
Calli Kirra Feb 2014
Sick
Nauseous
This is making me
SICK
And
NAUSEOUS
I can't find meaning between book lines
Without you
Or my bobby pins in the carpet
Without you
With, without.. You
Baby, you
She's still making me sick
Sick
And
Nauseous

Red, Gold and Blue
Calli Kirra Apr 2016
I just hope how I feel will stay the same,
Once you're here, and we're laying by the beach
Once summertime is the backdrop for you and me
With you I don't compare,
To the past or present, men in my dreams
You know I have a way of making things seem
Like the long-time-coming fate I need

I just hope how I look, and the way you look at me,
Matches and glows, baby we'd be
Just like warm sand all over the streets
Red and gold,
There by the beach
345 · Apr 2013

Calli Kirra Apr 2013
Two blue eyes
Hot fire sign
All the songs bring you to mind
Now, tonight
You got mad at me for the first time
Because there wasn't enough
Time
I promise you Saturday
You can have the whole night
But promise me your lap
To fall into

Ba(n)d
Calli Kirra Nov 2014
No good and my wings are ripped,
But there was empty space to begin with
Would you still kiss me with blood on my neck?
Like a video girl, and you're paid for this?
You just walked out on all your friends,
And I'll do you good for that
I'll make you proud for that

The People
Calli Kirra Aug 2013
"Shh shh she's waking up"
"Oh false alarm"
"I wonder if she sees us"
"Hears us walking"
"Sometimes she looks at nothing"
"Oh I swear, one time she looked right at me!"
"Are we even real, momma?"
"Oh, of course we are dear"
"Then why doesn't she play with me?"
"Well have you asked her?"
"I tugged on her hair
And whispered her name
And she jumped up and turned the light on
And called a boy
And talked to him like she was real scared
What's wrong with me?"
"Oh nothing baby, she's crazy. It's all the drugs"
"Oh wait wait, shh she's waking up"
Hello?

(New)s Boy
Calli Kirra Mar 2014
Grey, it is thin
When it's all either black or white
My muse, she's become a bothered one
Looking for a fight
You cool her
And finally she'll lie down to rest
In my souls jewelry box, my chest
You are like the gentle giant,
The carpenter,
Slowly fixing walls
And I'm a wreck
A pretty mess
And you're the best

Missing Mila
Calli Kirra Jul 2014
The kitten went missing
Wide eyed
Pink and sweet
Thinking he means good things for me
Thinking it's real and right to be,
All alone when it's dark
And one less than three
One by one,
Our kittens ran away
I wonder if any ever stay
For baby Mila, RIP.

I could write a million lines,
The grinding doesn't lie
Against my head,
Against my thighs
You were a humid dream
And so suddenly,
I'm up in a cold sweat  
Saying goodbye

So here we are again
In middle of the street
Runnin with BB guns
But you'd never shoot me
My number one summer jam
It's too late now

M part 2
Calli Kirra Apr 2013
You are evil
Like a hidden tack in the carpet
And I hope that you
Drown
Or get arrested
Because you belong far away
Your words are not worth being heard
And you
Are disgusting
So much that I laugh
Because you don't see
How much this world
Resents you

I Know What I Do
Calli Kirra Jul 2016
When he says be safe
He means be good
I'll act just like a girlfriend should
When she's got ten years of ****** up under the hood
You know I go from zero to eighty to ten
You know her and I are more than just friends
You, good boy, heart hot beating gold  
I'm your opposite with briars and a silver soul
I'll twist the wound and scare you cold
But I look so good in the hallway door,
Arching my back on the bedroom floor
You know well enough how I want more
"Be safe"
Baby what are you worried for?

Calli Kirra Dec 2013
He's freakin out
As the car drives down
Who knew how much fun you could have
In the back of a van
Acid burns
But oh what a trip
Were just friends
I hope he just wants to be friends

Phoenix Theory
Calli Kirra Jul 2014
Why do I go,
Licking the whip that hits me
Breathing the steam that burns me
And how I try,
And every time,
Kissing the hands that crush me

Bradley part two
Calli Kirra Apr 2013
It is not our time
It was nice while it lasted
In these two weeks
There was good and bad
Nice things said
Things said to best friends
When we were mad and high
Tweets posted and then taken down
When all was resolved
But I see that it's not my time to belong to someone
Or for someone to belong to me
We will float on
And you are still a king

I'm all red eyes
In a tiny black dress
Shooting daggers at the ground as I stomp down the steps
I'll ask you once and you better say yes,
You shatter me like the mirror I'd watched you in
Waiting and waiting and hoping again
You say you're bad with words, but that's all I have
Replaying and playing and playing again
With nothing to hold for the time I've spent
My nerves and my heart at war again
They're tired but ready like they've always been
I promised them peace, what a liar I am
Hurting and hurting and hurting again
323 · Dec 2015
Three of Hearts
Calli Kirra Dec 2015
You're always dropping off,
For me to find
But I've never been a fan of a seventh time
You come back
With my rolling eyes,
Well what's so special about tonight?
If I get you,
Then it's just round two
Or maybe not
I'm waiting to see your plan for three
Us and our messy hearts

Got the (House of) Blues
Calli Kirra Aug 2014
Id be a sneak with the pigs on my toes
All to be the sweetest berry at your show
Hold my breath and slip right through,
I'd be bad with the front door for you
Two hundred cash I blew real fast,
So I'll fake it till I make all my dignity back
Sliding in blood in the name of love
In the name of fun
Cue the lights in three...two...one.

Aurora
Calli Kirra Nov 2022
Hands swift, taught, carving.
Aurora borealis on my open back
Thought we might name our girl the same
Crashing into the world with your eyes
Flashing green
Loud, humanly
Through our chests and the sky

All of the rivers that led us here
Began clear
We knew our way like our tongues know our teeth
Like losing a soul tears the muscle
Before it leaves
Calli Kirra Feb 2014
Zeros and ones
Zeros
And ones
Vibrate, vibrations
My colossal,
Speck of isles and nations
Half step, half of half step
Never the wall, can't feel it yet
Am I?
Tying... no
Am I tying my own knot?
Not?
315 · Jan 2014
So M, I forgive you
Calli Kirra Jan 2014
"I like that shirt, it looks good on you"
"I like your nails, that colors cool"
You have to forgive
To feel anything again
Even if you can't
Even if you can't

And I am so drunk
Even a mile away, I know your face
Holding her hand
Never thought you'd come out
To party, boy
Why for her, and not me?
I love that black jacket
Sophie's throwin up, I gotta run
Have fun

These bees
And this ink machine
Rumbling,
And the rattle never comes
But I wait for it
Come cut the gray screen from me,
The prettiest scissors I've ever seen
But oh, the bees
They, yes, rumble me
"You're okay,"
I hope today's the day
But my LA is full of rain
And so is its gold girl,
It's scene
It's party queen
