Wretched 00:35

Atheists 03:32
I don't care about anything but these moments we share Right or wrong, it's not up to us Who considers all your prayers? I only know what's on the walls I only think about what's real Until it's time to be revealed Yr dogma is a spinning wheel I don't think "god" would notice "me" if "I" looked "him" in the eye I don't think "god" will notice "me" even when "I" "die" I don't know a thing about a thing about a thing Methodical molecules Are bodies our machines? Am I the only one? Am I the only one? (Not here!!)

I'm like a faceless doll with dismembered parts after you broke my heart na na na na I turn to art LIFE IS HARD Cutting out the magazine pages pasting shapes creating new faces na na na na I turn to art I like it hard You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen She's the prettiest thing you've ever seen
4.
TNT 04:41
Your mouth is misguided in a beautiful way It's like TNT, baby Your heart is lopsided in a meaningless way It's like TNT, baby Let's lay down and watch it burn Let's watch all the fireworks It's like you said, a candlewick heavily leans to an edge and your fingertips commit to wax as you unbury it Being with you is so strange I become more passionate Your eyes are disguised in a typical way It's like TNT, baby It's like TNT buried within me Let's lay down and watch it burn Let's watch all the fireworks It's like you said, a candlewick heavily leans to an edge and your fingertips commit to wax as you unbury it Being with you is so strange I become more passionate Being with you is so strange I become more passionate

Tiara 03:34
Weary mother held her daughter's hand Let it go child struggled to stand Baby took her very first steps On a platform in a corset YOU'RE JUST SO FUCKIN' PRETTY I WANNA EAT YR FACE It was 17 years ago when mother danced in her last show Now she is behind the curtain sewing sequins, deeply certain She wants to wear No. 5 perfume

BOP IT 02:05
FUCK IT! SUCK IT! LICK IT! TRICK IT! TUCK IT! TUG IT! LOVE IT! SHOVE IT! FUCK IT! SUCK IT! LICK IT! TRICK IT! TUCK IT! TUG IT! LOVE IT! BOP IT!

Now that you think you've lost her You feel dew drops and thunder All the way to them floodgates Your wild dendrites cause earthquakes A when the power runs out, will you let us in? And when the power runs out, will you plug us in? Behind you wild creatures sneak tacitly, undisturbed Unkind spirits been let out howling growling crawling up the walls Give up the nostalgia of being sad Stand up take off and never look back Give up the comfort of being mad Stand up take off never look back And when the power runs out, will you let us in? And when the power runs out, will you plug us in?

Sandman 04:41
I need the rise and fall of your breath to get to sleep help me all night just to catch my dreams I lust for slumber cast your dust on me, friend I need it just to be here peacefully * * * * * * * * * just to be here peacefully * * * * * * * * * just to be here peacefully * * * * * * * * * * just to be here peacefully * * * * ** I'll start with nothing again Beg myself to begin And I'll have to pretend that this is not the end Sandman he does, he knows he knows all your dreams but he does not know of the universe inside your mind the one that's in your bones Was it written on your palms to pick me up and put me down Was it written in the stars that this would be our very start? Sandman he does, he knows he knows all your dreams but he does not know of the universe inside your mind that one that will unfold I see constellations in your eyes and they are so bold, there is something behind them, something I already know I abide by rules of three Think destiny's your heart's decree Now you tell me you tell me what we could do differently humor me!

The lava is burning through tiny holes it drips from the ceiling My palms are so sweaty I am like the horny desert's wet dreams You talk but your talk is cheap You talk but your talk is cheap Tossing, turning sheets are flirting In the heat they wrap their arms around me I want to float away in tow In my dreams I climb under the parachute You talk but your talk is cheap You talk but your talk is cheap Oh try to try to let it go Try to try to let it go Try to try to let it go Try to try to let it go My heart's beating, colors bleeding But my guts are aware we know it's there (Shut up) You talk but your talk is cheap You talk but your talk is cheap Oh try to try to let it go Try to try to let it go Try to try to let it go Gee - Oh - My - God Gotta get get away Oh Aye Double U A Why? Because I said so Gotta gotta get away Gotta gotta get away

Teeth 02:45
This tiny tumbling crumb left minimal residue I raise an eyebrow and bite my thumb at you Chew it good it left a bruise Savor my tongue cuz blood was my muse Finally realized I don't need you For what we are is what we will I'm getting pretty for myself Not you and no one else A cavalcade of grain may navigate squirrels Shovel-nosed moles burrow holes under this world Tigers pose, monsters brood Snarls and riddles Somersaults will do Light the path but watch your fingers Seize the sacred lore, it lingers on and on and on and on Roll up this ball of thread it is a cosmic knot for you and lift a finger and now what to do? Gather some steam, dust off your feet Untangle this dreamscape with your teeth

hours ago I was a new breed flesh painted like skinned knees All on my own the future unfolds I'm wide-eyed like a baby This time I finally got it figured out I am a fairytale I am so refined I am made of glue I am drawn of lines I was a doe in my last life I was the hunted scared of my own shadow, not surprised I've been waiting.
