CASTLE.

‘  sick of all these people talking.  ’ ‘  sick of all this noise.  ’ ‘  tired of all these cameras flashing.  ’ ‘  sick of being poised.  ’ ‘  my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it.  ’ ‘  already choking on my pride.  ’ ‘  already choking on my pride, so there’s no use in crying about it.  ’ ‘  there’s no use in crying about it.  ’ ‘  they wanna make me their queen.  ’ ‘  i probably shouldn’t be so mean.  ’ ‘  i should probably keep my pretty mouth shut.  ’ ‘  sick of feeling used.  ’ ‘  if you wanna break these walls down, you’re gonna get bruised.  ’

HOLD ME DOWN.

‘  my demons are begging me to open up my mouth.  ’ ‘  they fight me, vigorous and angry.  ’ ‘  watch them pounce.  ’ ‘  ignite me.  ’ ’  i sold my soul to a three-piece.  ’ ‘  he told me i was holy.  ’ ‘  i sold my soul to a three-piece and he told me i was holy.  ’ ‘  he’s got me down on both knees, but it’s the devil that’s tryna hold me down.  ’ ‘  sneaking out the back door, make no sound.  ’ ‘  knock me out.  ’ ‘  i want more, this is what i live for.  ’ ‘  throw me in the deep end, watch me drown.  ’ ‘  selfish, taking what i want and call it mine.  ’ ‘  i’m helpless.  ’ ‘  i’m helpless clinging to a little bit of spine.  ’ ‘  they rush me, telling me i’m out of time.  ’

NEW AMERICANA.

‘  we were a community.  ’ ‘  they made me their leader when i never asked to be.  ’ ‘  the lightning in their eyes huddled me into whatever they needed me to become.  ’ ‘  we were hopeful we would win because nothing could scare us.  ’ ‘  we feared no man.  ’ ‘  turned dreams into an empire.  ’ ‘  survival of the richest.  ’ ‘  the city’s ours until the fall.  ’ ‘  we don’t feel like outsiders at all.  ’ ‘  we are the new americana.  ’ ‘  high on legal marijuana.  ’ ‘  some say he looks just like his father.  ’ ‘  he could never love somebody’s daughter.  ’ ‘  we know very well who we are.  ’ ‘  what kind of dough have you been spending?  ’ ‘  what kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?  ’

DRIVE.

‘  i can never keep my eyes off this.  ’ ‘  my neck, the feeling of your soft lips.  ’ ‘  all we do is drive.  ’ ‘  all we do is think about the feelings that we hide.  ’ ‘  all we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign.  ’ ‘  sick and full of pride.  ’ ‘  it never felt like home to me.  ’ ‘  hey, i was wondering if you wanna like… never mind.  ’ ‘  it’s bliss.  ’ ‘  it’s so simple, but we can’t stay.  ’ ‘  would it really kill you if we kissed?  ’

HURRICANE.

‘  i let him climb inside my body and held him captive in my kiss.  ’ ‘  there’s a storm you’re starting now.  ’ ‘  i’m a wanderess.  ’ ‘  i’m a one night stand.  ’ ‘  don’t belong to no city.  ’ ‘  don’t belong to no man.  ’ ‘  i’m the violence in the pouring rain.  ’ ‘  i’m a hurricane.  ’ ‘  i found myself reminded to keep you far away from me.  ’ ‘  baby, beggin’ you to save me.  ’ ‘  though lately, i like ‘em crazy.  ’ ‘  maybe you could devastate me.  ’ ‘  little lady, come and fade me.  ’

ROMAN HOLIDAY.

‘  do you remember the taste of my lips that night?  ’ ‘  i remember when my father put his fist through the wall.  ’ ‘  i remember the fear in your eyes.  ’ ‘  didn’t know where we were running to, but don’t look back.  ’ ‘  we know that we’re headstrong.  ’ ‘  our heart’s gone  ’ ‘  the timing’s never right.  ’ ‘  but for now, let’s get away.  ’ ‘  the timing’s never right, but for now let’s get away.  ’ ‘  i imagine the weight of your ribs if you lied between my hips in the backseat.  ’ ‘  i imagine the tears in your eyes.  ’ ‘  the very first night i’ll sleep without you.  ’ ‘  when it happens i’ll be miles away.  ’ ‘  didn’t know where i was running to, but i won’t look back.  ’ ‘  feet first, don’t fall.  ’ ‘  we’ll be running again.  ’ ‘  keep close, stand tall.  ’

GHOST.

‘  i’m searching for something that i can’t reach.  ’ ‘  i don’t like them innocent.  ’ ‘  i don’t want no face fresh.  ’ ‘  want them wearing leather.  ’ ‘  let me be your taste test.  ’ ‘  want them wearing leather, begging, let me be your taste test.   ’ ‘  i like the sad eyes, bad guys, mouth full of white lies.  ’ ‘  you say that you’re no good for me cause i’m always tugging at your sleeve.  ’ ‘  i swear i hate you when you leave.  ’ ‘  i swear i hate you when you leave, but i like it anyway.  ’ ‘  my ghost, where’d you go?  ’ ‘  i can’t find you in the body sleeping next to me.  ’ ‘  what happened to the soul that you used to be?  ’ ‘  you’re a rolling stone boy, never-sleep-alone boy.  ’ ‘  got a million numbers and they’re filling up your phone, boy.  ’ ‘  i’m off the deep end, sleeping all night through the weekend.  ’ ‘  i love him, but i know i’m gonna leave him.  ’

COLORS.

‘  your little brother never tells you but he loves you so.  ’ ‘  you’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope.  ’ ‘  i’ll hope you make it to the day you’re twenty-eight years old.  ’ ‘  you’re dripping like a saturated sunrise.  ’ ‘  you’re spilling like an overflowing sink.  ’ ‘  you’re ripped at every edge, but you’re a masterpiece.  ’ ‘  everything is blue.  ’ ‘  now i’m covered in the colors, pulled apart at the seams.  ’ ‘  everything is grey.  ’ ‘  he’s so devoid of color he don’t know what it means.  ’ ‘  you were a vision in the morning when the light came through.  ’ ‘  i know i’ve only felt religion when i’ve lied with you.  ’ ‘  you’ll never be forgiven till your boys are too.  ’ ‘  i’m still waking every morning, but it’s not with you.  ’ ‘  you were red and you liked me because i was blue.  ’ ‘  but you touched me and suddenly i was a lilac sky then you decided purple just wasn’t for you.  ’

STRANGE LOVE.

‘  everybody wants to know if we fucked on the bathroom sink.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know how your hands felt in my hair.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know if we were high on amphetamines.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how we chain smoked until three.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how you laughed when you said my name.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to hear how you gripped my hips so mean.  ’ ‘  we wrote a story in the fog on the windows that night.  ’ ‘  the ending is the same every damn time.  ’ ‘  they think i’m insane.  ’ ‘  they think my lover is strange.  ’ ‘  i don’t have to fucking tell them anything.  ’ ‘  i’m gonna write it all down.  ’ ‘  i don’t have to fucking tell you anything.  ’ ‘  that’s the beauty of a secret, you know you’re supposed to keep it.  ’ ‘  everybody’s waiting up to hear if i dare speak your name.  ’ ‘  everybody wants to know about how it felt to hear you scream.  ’ ‘  they know you walk like you’re a god.  ’ ‘  they can’t believe i made you weak.  ’ ‘  these days i can’t seem to get along with anyone.  ’ ‘  these days i can’t seem to make this right.  ’ ‘  well, is this fine? will i be alright?  ’

COMING DOWN.

‘  i found god.  ’ ‘  i found god, i found him in a lover.  ’ ‘  i found god, i found him in a lover when his hair falls in his face and his hands so cold they shake.  ’ ‘  i found the devil.  ’ ‘  i found the devil, i found him in a lover.  ’ ‘  i found the devil, i found him in a lover and his lips like tangerines in his color-coded speak.  ’ ‘  now we’re lost somewhere in outer space in a hotel where demons play.  ’ ‘  we roll around beneath these sheets.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover, a love like religion.  ’ ‘  i’m such a fool for sacrifice.  ’ ‘  he’s coming down.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a lover and i’m unforgiven.  ’ ‘  i’m such a fool to pay this price.  ’ ‘  i found a martyr.  ’ ‘  i found a martyr, he told me i’d never with his educated eyes and his head between my thighs.  ’ ‘  i found a savior, i don’t think he remembers.  ’ ‘  he’s off to pay his crimes.  ’ ‘  he’s got no time for me.  ’ ‘  every single night pray the sun will rise.  ’ ‘  every single time make a compromise.  ’

HAUNTING.

‘  keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  i was as pure as a river, but now i think i’m possessed.  ’ ‘  you put a fever inside me and i’ve been cold since you left.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a boyfriend now.  ’ ‘  i’ve got a boyfriend now and he’s made of gold.  ’ ‘  you’ve got your own mistakes.  ’ ‘  i’m hoping you could save me now.  ’ ‘  you’ve got a fire inside, but your heart’s so cold.  ’ ‘  i’ve done some things that i can’t speak.  ’ ‘  i’ve tried to wash you away, but you won’t leave.  ’ ‘  won’t you take a breath and dive in deep?  ’ ‘  i came here so you’d come for me.  ’ ‘  i’m begging you to keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  i know you’re gonna keep on haunting me.  ’ ‘  you weren’t looking for me.  ’

GASOLINE.

‘  are you insane like me?  ’ ‘  have you been in pain like me?  ’ ‘  have you bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me just pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?  ’ ‘  would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?  ’ ‘  are you high enough without the mary jane like me?  ’ ‘  do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?  ’ ‘  do the people whisper about you on the train like me?  ’ ‘  you shouldn’t waste your pretty face.  ’ ‘  you can’t wake up, this is not a dream.  ’ ‘  you’re part of a machine.  ’ ‘  you are not a human being.  ’ ‘  low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.  ’ ‘  i think there’s a flaw in my code.  ’ ‘  these voices won’t leave me alone.  ’ ‘  my heart is gold.  ’ ‘  my hands are cold.  ’ ‘  my heart is gold and my hands are cold.  ’ ‘  are you deranged like me?  ’ ‘  are you strange like me?  ’ ‘  are you lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?  ’ ‘  do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?  ’ ‘  you’ll never take the blame like me.  ’

CONTROL.

‘  they send me away.  ’ ‘  the house was awake, the shadows and monsters.  ’ ‘  the hallways, they echo like gold.  ’ ‘  i sat alone in bed till the morning.  ’ ‘  they’re coming for me.  ’ ‘  i tried to hold these secrets inside me.  ’ ‘  my mind’s like a deadly disease.  ’ ‘  i’m bigger than my body.  ’ ‘  i’m colder than this home.  ’ ‘  i’m meaner than my demons.  ’ ‘  i’m bigger than these bones.  ’ ‘  please stop, you’re scaring me.  ’ ‘  i can’t help this awful energy.  ’ ‘  goddamn right, you should be scared of me.  ’ ‘  who is in control?  ’ ‘  i paced around for hours on empty, i jumped at the slightest of sounds.  ’ ‘  i couldn’t stand the person inside me, i turned all the mirrors around.  ’ ‘  i turned all the mirrors around.  ’ ‘  i’m well acquainted with villains that live in my bed.  ’ ‘  they’ll never die when i’m dead.  ’

YOUNG GOD.

‘  baby girl, you know we’re gonna be legends.  ’ ‘  i’m a king and you’re a queen.  ’ ‘  we will stumble through heaven.  ’ ‘  if there’s a light at the end, it’s just the sun in your eyes.  ’ ‘  i know you wanna go to heaven, but you’re human tonight.  ’ ‘  do you feel like a young god?  ’ ‘  you know the two of us are just young gods.  ’ ‘  they’re running, running, running again.  ’ ‘  baby girl, don’t get cut on my edges.  ’ ‘  i’m the king of everything.  ’ ‘  my tongue is a weapon.  ’ ‘  there’s a light in the crack that’s separating your thighs.  ’ ‘  if you wanna go to heaven, you should fuck me tonight.  ’

BONUS: IS THERE SOMEWHERE.

‘  light up one and hand it over.  ’ ‘  rest your head upon my shoulder.  ’ ‘  i just wanna feel your lips against my skin.  ’ ‘  this is right where it begins.  ’ ‘  your lips hang heavy underneath me.  ’ ‘  i promised myself i wouldn’t let you complete me.  ’ ‘  i’m trying not to let it show that i don’t wanna let this go.  ’ ‘  i don’t wanna let this go.  ’ ‘  is there somewhere you can meet me?  ’ ‘  you clutched my brain and eased my ailing.  ’ ‘  your girl’s got red in her cheeks ‘cause we’re something she can’t see.  ’ ‘  you’re stuck in my brain.  ’ ‘  all i do is cry and complain because second’s not the same.  ’ ‘  all i do is cry and complain.  ’ ‘  second’s not the same.  ’ ‘  i’m sorry but i fell in love tonight.  ’ ‘  i didn’t mean to fall in love tonight.  ’ ‘  you’re looking like you fell in love tonight.  ’ ‘  could we pretend that we’re in love?  ’

BONUS: EMPTY GOLD.

‘  i must confess how hard i tried to breathe through the trees of loneliness.  ’ ‘  you must confess how hard you need to see through the heart beating out of my chest.  ’ ‘  feel like we’ve been falling down like those autumn leaves.  ’ ‘  baby, don’t let the winter come. don’t let our hearts freeze.  ’ ‘  if the morning light don’t steal your soul, we will walk away from empty gold.  ’ ‘  we’re the underdogs in this world alone.  ’ ‘  i’m a believer, got a fever running through my bones.  ’ ‘  they can throw their stones.  ’ ‘  they can’t break our hearts.  ’ ‘  they won’t take our souls.  ’

102 .

‘  i  like  the  way  your  face  looks  when  i’m  arguing  with  you .  ’

‘  i’m  not  half  as  bad  as  what  you’ve  been  told .  ’

‘  when  i  see  your  pajamas ,  i  can’t  stop  smiling  at  you .  ’

‘  i’ve  been  pouring  my  heart  out  towards  your  optimistic  grin .  ’

‘  i  like  the  cut  of  your  jib .  ’

‘  i  like  the  way  your  face  looks  when  you’re  yapping  on  about  him .  ’
