Jun 2016
The weather whispers a summer hazy
Gloomy June tune
Remember just how
We brought ourselves here
You strong little porcelain doll?

Remember just how
You held yourself
Surrounded by polaroids and stones
Air mattress sleeping rainbow haired
Defined moments
Love chased me down the street
Slapping it away like gut instincts
My gut instincts are always
Spot on
Underline that in bold.

Bold
So much untold
By her mouth and hers
We hold up megaphones
Empowering the softness
But we're scared of being *****
Behind dumpsters
Drinking with abandon
We can't trust ******* no one.

I avert my eyes most of the time
Because I know everyones got
Their own motive.

Computer clanging and chiming
That final cut almost ready
I'll wrap my face in glitter and gold
I was sorta drunk and we wanna take care
Of our ladies
But we also gotta show them
As it really ******* is.

I take criticism
Try not to expel too much energy, emotion
I recommend names
Give out my signature in fiery fury
Without ink
All the male directors are white
All the male directors
Their all
Their all
Their all

Rip tide, subfuckingside
Ripping across waves and moon beams
I hand it over
I hand it over
I hand it over
Could have vomited all morning
So I'll make up a little tune
Like it goes along with my Irish muddy Southern
Who knows what I am insides
And most of the time I think
I'm so

Ordinary.

But with glorious fans
I bow and I curtsey
Don't talk to that married man
Wheres your wife?
Your children must be sleeping
Don't you see
Don't you see ladies
In the moment, you get that attention
But you ruin the interior beat
Of other women
And we all we really got.

Don't you see?
Don't you see?
Can't I see?
Can't you see?

I remove blindfolds off of all of them.

And I don't know
That I'm all that special
I've got plenty to say
Informed by my past
My present
My right now
Heres your plus one
I gave my ticket away
Two weekends ago
Because I thought I had no one to invite


But I'm surrounded
Surrounded
Not because I left my heart on the alter
Sacrificed it to the demise
Of men who can't keep up
But my best friend she said
"You're young, beautiful, ambitious, and divinely favored."

So lets take an honest look around
And just
Hover baby.
