Something Good
03:46

By now I should know better
than to tease my senses
touching you, taking you in
I awake in haze
that I can't explain
the second after you go
What if you're gone?
You don't know how bad
I need something good in my life
You're a mystery to me
When I watch you
slipping out of that dress
getting stuck in my head
So I'll sing you a song
and watch my voice
make waves on your hips
let me taste your lips
You don't know how bad
I need something good in my life
I'm just too fragile these days
to be toyed with or kicked around
I just want assurance
When you're done you'll put me down
Softly

Numb to Me
03:30
|

|
I'm selling smiles
a dime for a dozen
Can I interest you
as you're walking away
I promise I never meant
to step in your bubble
but it seems as if
that's where you'll stay
Can you hear me in there?
Do you feel anything?
Cause I'm not wasting any more time
If you're gonna be numb to me
I didn't lie
when I said you were lovely
My heart didn't bleed
that day that I took the blame
I've written pretty poems
and selfish sonnets
I've written everything
just to worship your name
I know I'm just too sensitive sometimes
And I know you've got a million things on your mind
If I got stabbed through the heart tomorrow
It wouldn't kill me to know that you might wear black

Damage
03:46

Her eyes are fixed on the floor
as if I accused her
too dark for green, too light for brown
I watch her tears fall down
I wasn't built for this
she cries softly under
her shallow breaths
and I grow weaker
There's so much damage sustained
in the ebb and flow of love
I'll help you pick up the pieces
Gentle hands wrap around my wrist
I can feel her breaking
New to my arms, scarred from harm
the past still haunting, She says
I wasn't built for this
as I let these feelings
off my chest
I see you slipping away
There's so much damage sustained
in the ebb and flow of love
I'll help you pick up the pieces
Every time I give my heart away
it never comes back the same
And every time I pull her closer
I can sense she's afraid

New Years Crush
03:02

New Years in Boston
I found myself lost in
the rush of every smile
you flashed my way
Every time we locked eyes
I just couldn't disguise
how hard it was for me
to break away
Honey, tonight my heart is in your hands
break me, if you must
I just want to be the object of your lust
my New Years Crush
That short skirt
and those legs, my dear
they drew me closer
with my every stare
When the time came
to ring in the year
you whispered these words
softly in my ear
Every kiss did contain
sweet undertones of champagne
intoxicating me with every taste
of your lips so tenderly placed

Surprise
03:42

What a surprise
to wake up with you on my mind
after I fell asleep to the thought
of your shining smile
I know you said there's no room
for anything complicated
but my feelings here
are decidedly cut and dry
As much as I'd like to hang around
wasting time with you for life
These days I seem to have
something more for us in mind
Let's take it slow
I want you to feel comfortable
Wrap you in silk sheets and lace
Read the love written on my face
Don't act surprised
I know you saw right through my eyes
The day you lowered your book
just to find my look fixed on yours
And don't dare think that I can't
feel your hesitation to let go
when I hold you on the street
right beneath your front door
This silly secret
has been begging me
to keep it
tucked deep inside
the leaflet
of my life

Rest in Peace

6:00am
Just before sunrise
I haven't slept all night again
Feels like sinking
I don't know if I
can face the daylight again
If you need me, I'll be
outside digging a grave
so I can finally let my mind
Rest in Peace
Fog of darkness
I don't know if I
can find a reason to live
Try to think of
all the love I'm shown
but I've never felt
loneliness like this
It's been such a long time
hanging on dearly to this life
I'm just too tired to keep on going
But baby, if you miss me
when I'm sleeping sound
just crush rose petals on the ground
If you need me, I'll be
outside digging a grave
so I can finally let my mind
Rest in Peace

In My Veins
02:54
|
|||
|
Look into my eyes, little girl
I've got more anger
than I'd like to let on
When you told me
that our time was up
I wanted to chain you down
cause I hadn't had enough
I'm sweaty
My hands are shaking
My heart is racing
without you
In My Veins
So what do you have to say
for all of this pain
Don't mind my indecency
but I want you to feel it too
Ten days, I could barely contain
the way I pined
The way I died for you
If you'd take some time away
from all that sweet love you're makin'
You might ask me how it
fucking feels to be so
constantly forsaken
I suppose I should rephrase:
I hope you feel nothing
when he kisses your face
and when he lies
I hope you're so surprised
that you fall down aching
and that's where I'll be waiting

Ugly
03:21
|
|||
|
She's got soft hands
and they radiate
fear and discomfort
throughout me
Her touch
it wanders
down around my scars
and beyond
I don't want to connect
I don't want to react
I'd rather simply
just turn my back
She doesn't know what it's like
to feel ugly on the inside
when you're ugly on the outside too
Turn the lights off
Let's slow things down
My heart and my clothes
hit the ground
Another girl
who loves to sing along
offered, handled, and gone.
