I'm not here to f-ck you Molly
     But maybe I can still make you feel beautiful
          Even if you're dead.

You were an "A" girl
     in the red-light district

This side of town
     Your Daddy was a politician

And his best friend
     Was your last appointment

They found your bones under the floorboards,
Molly.
They wanted to put you in a display case,
Molly.
What's your unfinished business
Molly?

You're still showcasing your soul
As an apparition of this apartment

They're here

Isn't it time to move on?
Don't you have light to travel through,
  to get to another physical vehicle?

What keeps you illuminating this place?
I'm not here to ***** you out
Maybe I'm just trying to understand,

What really happens when we die,
Molly?
Are they trafficking ghosts here for profit
Molly?
Have you soul'd out,
Molly?

I wrote this when I went on a haunted bar tour in Milwaukee. It used to be an old speakeasy that doubled as a brothel back during prohibition. The bar is said to be built on an old graveyard they dug up in a very poltergeist-esque fashion. I was inspired to write this after we were taken to one of the former A-girl's apartments. She allegedly went missing back in the 20's and they found some bones under the floorboards on the roof back in the early 90's. I don't know what it is about Milwaukee, but it seems to be a hotbed for weird and paranormal stuff. I've always had a weird fascination for it's history. It's a very interesting town.

Unicorn Destroyer (lyrics)

I'm calling you out
Of my mind
Manifest yourself
Come on, blow up in my face

To the:
Bombshell
With the short fuse
I'll be your Molotov cocktail
You be my fiery muse

I keep seeing your face
In sepia torn scenery
In the art of my dreams
trying to photoshop reality

To the:
Dream Girl
With her totem locked
I'll join you in a free fall
As I violently shake back awake
Alone

So it goes...

You're dancing my imagination
Heart-beating my soul
Tango of illumination

I felt your grace
In telepathic foreplay
My little mind-fu©k
life's stranger than fantasy

To the:
Princess,
Crowned in roses
I'll savor you as a Goddess
When you open your sweet blossom

So it goes...

You're dancing my imagination
Heart-beating my soul
Tango of illumination

Fire of my *****
Rising up my spine
We could be enlightenment-to-be
Like Nirvana
Come on blow my mind

Looking for feedback on this one. I wrote this for a girl I had a crush on but has since started a relationship with some other dude(****** I know). I reference her favorite movie/book in here. I was gonna trash it but I started to work in different archetypes. I don't know if I should record or not though. Thoughts?

NOT Penny's Boat

K,
Are you Ok?
Don't you wanna feel more than
just OK?

K,
You haven't left your bed in days
Don't let the darkness dominate
darling

K,
Just put your favorite record on
and dance out the rest of the war
of your mind

K,
Exploit those thoughts
Before they become demons

K,
Don't tell me I don't have an obligation to care for you
I've always been here for you
Even when you were across Lake Michigan

K,
You're more beautiful than you give yourself credit for
Your grace penetrates the Earth
Transcending Rose-beds

K,
See
There is light
somewhere
in everything

K
I wish I could go into dreams and save you
Before reality slips away
On the shores of our subconscious
I can be your totem
*You be my anchor

Meet me at Shoe Factory Road
and let's finally save each other

A Little Black Dress

Slipping Off
A
Little
Black
Dress

The naked truth

Somewhere in
the
back
of
My Mind

After
One Night
Standing
On Ceremony

Of
Cliché'd
Introductions

Hello,
You're
the
Missing Metaphor

Mind if I muse you?
And ravish your filthy immortal soul
I'll make you out to be a saint
I'll make you feel like a Goddess

Don't you wanna
Slip Off
that
Little
Black
Dress?

Summertime Madness

In my room
Ruminating
Counting all my misses
Discounting all my blessings

Swinging from moods
like happiness is my spouse
Versus the rest of my emotions
In a Vegas hotel
Where other room keys are being grabbed for
With great trepidation

i'm still waking up alone

I'll find her somewhere raging in my veins with
My darling madness and her trigger finger itch
While I'm balling my fists
Divine intervention decides who wins

In the summertime I become more manic
The sun becomes my touch of fire
Prometheus rising out of panic

Doctor doctor,
Thanks for the chemicals
But I wanna feel more than just "ok" all the time.
Detox to make me God some of the time
while the rest of the time
I'm just running on empty
From a routine
Back to my room
ruminating.

Muse in Reverse

I wanna be spellbound
Without a destination
Just a journey
Into the depths of imagination
Where i'm dragging the lake for a muse
In some skewed desperation

Something to keep me going
Like the chills shooting for enlightenment
Up the spine of the self-aware machine
they made me

Missing a missing peace/piece
Searching for someone as lost as me
In a chaos we're both tearing through
Along the heartbeaten path

Back to her place
Where I'm always finishing last
In more ways than you could understand
Until I'm standing over her
Running her hair back
After she's done
When belts lay undone

Hands fashioned around hips
Courting a release mechanism
Out of the machinery of soul
Something for her to run with
When she's all out of road
