When I was a young girl
I saw Dad pin against the wall
My sister, he had her by the hair
I never said a word
My mother left when I was 8
Came downstairs & said goodbye
My brother said he didn’t care
But he was dead by 25
If I have to live with it
I don’t want to believe it
I don’t want to relive it
If I have to live with it
I don’t want to believe it
I don’t want to relive it
If I have to live with it
I don’t want to believe it
I don’t want to relive it
I NEVER WANNA SUCCUMB
I never wanna feel
I never wanna feel it
I never wanna forgive
I NEVER WANNA SUCCUMB
If I have to…
I never wanna believe...
I never wanna relive
I NEVER WANNA SUCCUMB
I never wanna feel
I never wanna feel it
I never wanna forget
I NEVER WANNA SUCCUMB
REWIRE
REWIRE
REWIRE ME.

Madman

Disconnected from
My country because I
I am a no man
Citizen of no one
Disconnected from
My body because you
Could be the conman
Come to raid my house
Is it hysterical
When I’m hysterical?
If you can’t go and name it
Might as well shame it
I don’t even mind
The madman at night
Beware when I smile
It’s over and done
Maybe today’s the day
I outrun my demons
Random act of violence
Disconnected from
My country because I
I am a woman
Citizen of no one
Is it hysterical
When I’m hysterical?
If you can’t go and own it
Might as well it
I don’t even mind
The madman at night
Beware when I smile
It’s over and done
And I don’t even mind
The madman at night
I’m the madman this time
It’s over, it’s over
In this life, I have not a single cent
To invest in a lifetime of ignorance
While all I have done is sell you what I’ve been sold
To only be left in debt instead of gold
And now I know...
What is chasing me

Sitting with a Corpse
06:35

Did I weigh you down again
When I showed you how it felt
Like a promise never kept
Like a name you never guessed
There’s a road it takes me down
To a place where I never left
I didn’t know how brutal it was
I didn’t know what I fool I was
And I will not keep you here
And I will not keep you near
Cause I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything I had
I didn’t know how brutal it was
I didn’t know what I fool I was
It’s the mundane where I can relate
Missing all the lonesome and cruel ways
Always wonder why I don’t see you around
Maybe you’re like me and just hiding out
Acting out
Wait it out

Stories,
I keep on selling
Out to the highest bidder
Madness,
met me at midnight
Took you up on your offer
I’m done with the dream
Woke up,
Irrelevant again
Went to bed a burgeoning trend
Restless,
Guess it’s my nature
Another witness to the dawn
I’m done with the dream
The dream is done with me

Behind the Veil
05:02
|

I want to be the flower
I want to be the bee
I want to know if God
Really does hear me
When I’m desperate
Blasphemous and fiend
Please come find me
And relieve me
Please come and find me
I want to hear my name
On the lips of a crowd
I want to be a flower
I want to be the bee
Can you hear me?
Come and find me
I want to hear my name
On the lips of a crowd
Behind the veil
I wanted there
To be an explanation
Somewhere

Is modern feminism getting you down?
Is it condemning your favorite feminine blouse?
Well remember it’s because of it your choices abound
Little white girl, think about all the women
We’re leaving out
No one told me when I hit 35
I would spend all my money to look 25
And lose my sex
And lose my mind
And fuck, time flies by!
But I swear I’m having the time of my life
I just want to feel liberated
But I fear when I choke down those pills
I swallow something more than ‘scripts
It’s the seed of doubt that grows
Planted there long ago
Man made but woman owned
And for that, there’s no placebo

Feedback

When the feedback comes
It drowns out everything
You say “catch your breath”
Like I have any oxygen left
But you don’t know
How it feels to be
Pulled from your bones
Crushing fear beneath
And I love you for that
The feedback
You don’t know the pain
And I hate you for it too
Hate that you’re gonna run soon
Once upon a time
I wanted to be brave
Now resilience is
All I wanna fake
How many times
Did you leave when I
Begged you not to go
And leave me all alone
I know you gotta go to work
But love’s no comedy
The timing is never great
Oh great, let’s try to pretend
I’m gonna be okay

Wave Goodbye
05:50
|
|||
I watch, betrayed
Bodies turn to waste
I guess I’ll wave goodbye
Crying all the while
You said it best:
“Crazy is relative
And we are all dying”
Yes, we are all dying
I guess I’ll wave goodbye
Crying all the while
You can come home if you want to
