I know you came and went
you could have stayed a while
and paid your share of rent
you ticking time crocodile
I wish you all the best
I hope things for you turn out well
For now I'll get some rest
Silence the ringing bell
I broke some eggs
I ate some omelets
I spread my legs
I ran some gauntlets
I learned a lot
I had my fun
It can't be bought
Lie in the sun
Maybe I'll see you round
Hanging about our town
Once I get off the ground
You know I'm a letdown
You made the only choice
You thought was right for you
For that I will rejoice
Did what you had to do

This year I’m summer sick
I can’t get a hit
I think I’m over it
This time I'm losing my mind
I can’t count to five
I can’t save my life
What’s left but a pin in a kush
I just need a push
I need you to push
I wanna play with the cool kids
Don’t wanna have such a fool's head
I don’t think that I’m a basket case
But I fear the days and I feel the anxt
This heat is killing me
I think I need a drink
I’m too drunk to think
This emptiness is filling my head
I think I’m in the red
I think I need to go to bed
I don’t eat enough I’m feeling full
I don’t need a soul
I need you to pull
My brain’s departed
I’m empty hearted
Help me get my back hardened
Won’t you help me get started?
I wanna be like the cool kids
I sent an application for a new head
I know that I am a basket case
But I’m over the days and I’m over the anxt

That Girl
03:11
|
|||
|
She lives inside her parents’ basement and she mostly stays in
She knows they wouldn't appreciate her affliction for sin
But she can't help herself and her addiction to the skin
If they found out they'd throw all her mags in the garbage bin
That girl is thirsty for cock
That girl goes off to punk rock
That girl has no time for talk
That girl loves dick round the clock
Up late at night she pulls the rags out from under her bed
The idea she could get caught fills her with immense dread
She moans and dreams of putting her mouth on a penis head
She cannot help herself and if she could she'd rather be dead

M&M's
01:31
|
|||
|
Hey, meet us at the park
we'll ogle in the dark
until we can't hold in our lust anymore
So I'll unlock the door
and you'll unlock yours
and we can see exactly what we're dealing with
M&M's
they're melting in my mouth
they're writhing on the couch
they've got their hands around me while I'm going in and out
they make each other shout
they taste like sauerkraut
these are moments that I know this is what life's all about
We both know you're cumming soon
time to get dolled up for you
when I open up the door
find ourselves upon on the floor
when we go back to our room
make each other's heads go boom
we hold and touch and moan and squeeze
and fuck around in ecstasy
oooooOOOooo
I love to have sex

You said you liked me because
the exact way that I was
but I don't know what I am
is my existence a scam?
did I get off the right bus?
that's heading straight towards us
I hope that I figure out what I am
cause I'm not sure anymore
You're so pretty
Can I be too?
I want to be just like you
And not be afraid it's true
Do do do do do do do do do do
I know you made me feel real
The axle turned on the wheel
And I'm learning what I might be
and I am just starting to see
why the way you looked at me
filled me with unreal glee
it activated my inner punk rock girl
and she can't hide anymore

Driving hot and fast
Like we’re running from the past
If we’re quick enough
I think that we can fall in love
Heading to the places
Where we’re just new faces
Getting along like
We’re not just strangers
6-9 or 3-7
We’re in the carpool
And I’m in heaven
I wanna scream your name
When you change the lane
Going 110
I’ll never be the same
Faster faster
Lesbian disaster
We’ll never crash
Just keep pushing the gas

Catwalks
03:22
|
|||
|
The catwalks go up to your bedroom
And they let me see inside
And now I know when you are lying
And you have got nowhere to hide
Would you mind?
“Yeah, no problem”
“No, go ahead”
It's really something so unkind
If I ask a certain question
I'd like you to respond
In fair due good time
And tell me what I should expect
And when and where you need me to be
I can't escape this ugly feeling
that you find something wrong with me

Mistrysting A Kalon

Through love you cry
You cannot lie
I see it all the time
A girl who doesn't know herself
Puts it all on someone else
To find reason and rhyme
Well I say
just give it time
Why do I fixate on what's out of my control?
Why do I spend my youth stuck inside a black hole?
The sad truth is
We're all alone
even in perfect pairs
You have to know
You're all you've got
And you're still standing there
I just hope that
ah, whatever
Why do I fixate on what's out of my control?
Why do I spend my youth stuck inside a black hole?
Why do I crave so much more time and love from you?
Why do I bite off more than I can chew?
Why do I hope for so much more than I can get?
Why do I spend good times worrying if they're over yet?

Hour And A Half
01:34
|

|
She's gotta leave in an hour and a half
She's gotta leave in an hour and a half
Of course she's got other reasons 'sides that
She's gotta leave in an hour and a half
"Someday" does not exist
It’s just an idea we wish upon
In spite of what we insist
It’s an unreal phenomenon
Once Valentine's Day hits
I know that the curse is real
The engine that propelled us quits
Red hot love turns into cold steel
My memories are all I have
I'm greedy, I want more
One more stroke of her calf
Before she walks out the door

Pobre Puta
02:55
|

|
If I showed up and played my part
Didn't think that things would get so dire
I should have known we'd never start
My ego burned you like a fire
You threw your shit across my lawn
Because I couldn't tie my shoes
I felt so found but then forgot
That you're still stuck playing the blues
It feels like I've been here before
Betrayed by someone I could trust
On my fingers you slammed the door
I hope all your new shit goes bust

Love On Pause
02:35
|
|||
|
My last ride or die
Life ain't a charity
Just know that I wish
That you needed me
I'm only there
to pass the time
when they are not
and you are mine
You'll never know the hurt you cause
There's no such thing as love on pause
My heart still beats, I live displaced
Our last commitment remains disgraced
You spent my grace and stole my style
Your pretty face is now on trial
We lived as three and now as none
You weren't real but you were fun
I count on tomorrow
over and over again
By now all the sorrow
is pounding around in my head
It should not have
Ended like it did but
“closure” is just a
word that means nothing

Static
02:40
|
|||
|
It seems like life is getting worse all the time
A box invisible, I think I might be a mime
It won't matter in 20 years
But it matters to me now
One of my greatest fears
Is that you'll forget somehow
I try too hard not to worry about it
Everyone knows that I’m filled with Static
It helps me wonder when
I may never see you again
And that’s alright, my friend
All my friends are robots in disguise
All my friends tell human people lies
I try too hard not to worry about it
Everyone knows that I’m filled with Static
It brings me comfort when
I will never see you again
And that’s alright, my friend

Romancer
03:00

You came to me in a dream
after I blew off some steam
We talked so I would understand
At your place in a foreign land
And your eyes looked so starry
I could tell you felt sorry
You said that it was different now
The way you were, you disavow
But that was just a dream
And it did not give me
any peace
How could I know for sure
Since you left me for her
You wouldn't do it again
Sign it with a ballpoint pen
And promise me I'd know
That you would never go
Without saying goodbye
Or tell another lie
We talked for plenty long enough
Without each other it was rough
I held you close in my arms
And fell asleep in your charms
Après un petite peut
I failed to locate you
And right then I began to choke
And right then I awoke

Too Late
02:07
|
|||
|
Oh baby
won't you come near me?
Why do you think that there's a reason
to fear me?
I don't see you messing around town anymore
It seems on that chapter you've fully closed the door
I don't wanna forget you baby
But I don't wanna remember
I don't wanna forget you
But it's too late
I would have done more to care for you
But that’s not what you are used to
And I can’t help but feel that I made a mistake
Because I know that it’s my heart you break
I don't wanna forget you baby
But I don't wanna remember
I don't wanna forget you
But it's too late
And I tried not to go too crazy
and became a pretender
But you've gotta know lately you've been on my mind

My Filthy Blonde
You changed my life and walked right out
So what went wrong?
I will not let you make me doubt
My Filthy Blonde
You betrayed me and my heart
The magic wand
No way to know it from the start
You made your actions very obvious
And I didn't want to believe
That you had gone away
without being truthful to us
after all that we had shared and said
You turned around and left
to go fulfill your fantasy
of being a liar and being happy
Catch me in the lost and found
I would never let you down
Catch me on the turnaround
Make a smile from a frown
Catch me with my willing hands
I will always make amends
Catch me in four different bands
Traveling across the lands
Cast my lure into the ether
You get two choices then say neither
We make ourselves taste the poison
Then we try to turn the boys on
I can't make your half work too
There's nothing that I can do
I'm at peace, put it to rest
Four agreements, do your best
You Filthy Blonde
Go off and gallivant yourself
You Filthy Blonde
I will be fine without your help
You Filthy Blonde
I accept that you lied to me
Back then I fawned
But now the truth is clear to see
My love's not gone
But for you it was just a fling
Please don't respond
Your words wouldn't mean anything
The times we had
Are yours and mine and hers to know
I want you bad
But I can learn to let it go
