when you're a beautiful girl its easy to expire
attention can be perfect fuel for a starlet's funeral pyre
applause can sound like crackling flames when you need to be alone
its too bad that you can't call angels on the telephone

I've built a better version of me
but who cares about my personality

bleach away the black until you feel like somebody
you may not be worth anything but at least that means you're free
theres glitter inside of your eyes and you can barely see
make sure i look like a siren when i throw myself into the sea

your not as great as you once were theres rats inside your hair
you look kind of like garbage I'm glad you no longer care
they say men like blondes so much better
it may not last for long, just let her

bleach away the black until she feels like somebody 
she may not be worth anything but at least that means she's free
theres glitter inside of her eyes and she can barely see
make sure she's burning when you shoot your arrows down into the sea

baptized in toilet water with no chance
touch her but never ask her to the dance



Requiem 4 Anna Nicole

you say I'm like a dog in such a cruel and pitiful way
but just like an animal i can always smell your malaise
i never thought id be the kind to grovel down at your feet
but even the softest of things can bite with their canine teeth

i know my loyalty can be a fault
and i only lick your cheek because i like the taste of salt

I'm trying not to get attached cuz i know thats what you want
i can't help but like the way you're always so nonchalant
by days end all i want to do is curl at the foot of your bed
but if i took a walk without you, you would assume i way dead

you think I'm so much cuter when I'm weak
but beneath the plastic cone i still have pearly canine teeth

i will run away if i feel trapped 
but I'm still a sucker for a pat on the back
and i try to growl so you'll abandon me
but i can't forget how sometimes you would take good care of me


canine teeth

Kiss Me (Sixpence None the Richer cover)

I was told it was impossible to successfully cover the cocteau twins, so of course I wanted to try


Know Who You Are at Every Age (Cocteau Twins Cover)

there are times when i wish that i had some self control
work and scratch and bite and dig until I've worn a hole
I'm either caked in dirt or else respectable and clean
beautiful or hideous but never in-between
i tell myself contentment is for people in their graves 
productiveness and sparkling health must come in separate waves

immoderation to the core, i can't live this way anymore
ill make you something beautiful 
but ill tear the hair out of my skull
and if I'm content ill be lazy
at least i won't be half as crazy
why do i need to be extreme
i think i need to moderate my dreams

i find myself in between nerves and nihilistic fun
kissing every boy in town or cloistered like a nun
I'm the kind of girl who says it must be all or none
why even bother trying if i can't be number one

(chorus)

oh do i want to be a trophy wife
or do i want to make every man jealous of my life

(chorus)

xo


immoderation

from when i had a complete breakdown in bed bath and beyond around halloween time. everything works out eventually. i freeze & melt periodically and thats ok. I called like 5 different ppl and sang this to them lmao. NYC 2014

drunk voicemail (connie francis- ill close my eyes)

everytime (britney spears cover)

Remember those ice cream socials they used to have in grade school to help kids make friends n feel less nervous b4 the first day of class? So awk. Everyone was just there for the ice cream. Parties nowadays are the same 2 me.  bait me with ice cream....bait me with drugs....I feel forced into the relationships they lead to anyways. I'm bored. I'm sad. I'm gonna throw up if i keep eating ice cream. lol. So anywayzz this is lil ditty about being a shy alcoholic in love with a completely effortless social butterfly. Recorded this on my phone, so a new version will come later I hope. enjoy!! xox
lyrics:

I drove past my old hiding spot and I tried not to cry
But its okay these tears are just ‘cause dirt got in my eye
If I die take my bank card  and buy everyone jewels
I dont trust you to protect me or follow any rules

Short term, long term, brain freeze heartworm X
It’s not my turn and I can’t discern
Just why I falter, I’m  strangled by my halter
Don’t be woeful at this ice cream anti-social
Cause I don’t know anyone

Syrup filled with flies, you let me lap a little milk
i fucking hate these people  so  why do i feel this guilt
happy birthday sweetheart whats inside your sugared cone
I’m glad you’re growing up but please don’t leave me here alone

Short term, long term, brain freeze heartworm 
It’s not my turn and I can’t discern
Just why I falter, I’m  strangled by my halter
Don’t be woeful at this ice cream anti-social
Cause I don’t know anyone

If I keep going like this i think all my teeth will crack
I can’t just keep pretending im not hurt by your  wisecracks
No one to take care of me or tell me what to do
People seem to hate me but then maybe thats untrue

Short term, long term, brain freeze heartworm
It’s not my turn and I can’t discern
Just why I falter, I’m  strangled by my halter
Don’t be woeful at this ice cream anti-social
‘Cause I don’t know anyone
And you’re loved by everyone

Ice Cream Anti - Social

Bitter venereal venus full of ugly wails, cursed with the voice of an anxiety ridden disney princess. Accentuated by a twinkly synthesizer found at a some creepy old guy's garage sale.  yeehaw xxxo
