There's something I want to 
Ask you 
But before I do 
I gotta tell you 
Thats not my real name 
And I was underage 
Guess that's the price you pay 
For loving me 

I'm hooked on him 
And he's hooked on me 
But with the seasons 
Comes the disbelief 
That I lied to him 
And he won't forgive 
But he'll still get in 
When I call on him 

I don't want you to hold me like that 
Slip out of his controlling trap 
I'll never look back 
Its only a car ride, fuck that 

Stand still 
Its mad, how I feel 
Stand still 
Its maddening 

There's something I want to 
Ask you 
But before I do 
I gotta tell you 
Thats not my real name 
And I was underage 
Guess that's the price you pay 
For fucking me 
Baby

’ve never been that drunk 
Couldn't sit up 
Sailors singing all around 
I’ve never been that certain 
That he doesn't love me except when 
I’m ripe and ready, inbound 

He smiles his cigarettes 
He never smokes 
He'll browse the internet 
For heavy dopes 

He's just a storm 
Can't keep control 
He's addicted 

I’m not in 
His little world 
Full of dope fiends and 
Scared criminals 

He'll keep lying to himself 
And everybody else 
He’s just so insane 
Just a trouble a maker 
But I can’t let him down 

He's just a storm 
Can't keep control 
He's addicted 

I’m not in 
His little world 
Full of dope fiends and 
Scared criminals

Storm

We'll climb to the top of a mountain 
And I'll say this looks like an album 
I've heard before 
But we don't talk anymore 

You can be a real devil sometimes but 
You seem to make me happy 
All the while you stare at other men 
Are you attracted to them? 

I should really bring my car in 'cause I don't trust where I'm living 
I'm waking up early in the morning just to exist 

Its not about you anymore 
You make me tick but he makes me tock 
I think I'm always gonna miss them 
The straight men and the men who love them 
Talk of the devil 
Fuckin' you was heaven 

He's not the one he's just a boy 
A copy ca, the truth makes him coy 
He just wants to love, a little more 
But they just tell him, he's a bore 

I'm waking up early int he morning just to exist 

Let me get a mind, 'cause I feel sick 
Pop it down with, valium pills

Marco and Stace’ 
Sit away from their bed 
Because they’re afraid of the pregnancy test 
Their god given sin 
Spells mistake over it 
Its ugly 
Don’t think they’ll get through this 

Popping valium pills because 
They don’t know how thing will end 
It keeps them calm 
Their smothered hearts 
Can only take so much 

Hold each other close 
Write your parents a note 
Run away if you have to 
‘cause god will never catch you 
See the world 
For what it truly is 

She knows they’ll be brave together 
And he won’t be phased by another 
People say that fait looks down on mistakes 
But the world is full of distaste 

Popping 
Their valium pills and 
Searching maps for the hills and 
Hoping they’ll win in the end 
Just because 
The test was negative 

And down goes the feeling you’re young 
And up flies away your tongue 
The truth never grows old 
The story’s begun 
Just you wait 
For decades to come 

Now Marco and Stace’ 
Sit face to face 
And lie through their teeth 
And stay in this place 
But in seven months 
She’ll show their disgrace 
And the guns will be aimed at his face

Valium Pills

Whisked away 
Only seventeen come end of may 
Seen better days 
Hopelessly devoured by the same 
Easy mistakes 
Settled into lack of luck 
And finding easy ways 
To not do what he's told 
Or give a fuck 

Sounds keeping him awake 
Never seem to stay the same 
Something new every day 
In his dreams he flies away 
To heaven, in space 
In the end he will give chase 
And find a way to sleep 
And have better days 

Tell when where were you realised you'd grown up? 
Was it when you stole the keys and drove your folks car? 
Did you ever really think you'd make it so far? 
Let me tell you no one had you on their radar 

Sounds keeping him awake 
Never seem to stay the same 
Something new every day 
In his dreams he flies away 
To find answers to the game 
In the end he will give chase 
And find his way 
Still asking them 
Who’s to blame 

I see him 
Once a while 
Never seem to see his smile 
Thing could go 
His way 
But he's still asking who's to blame 

Whisked away 
Only seventeen come end of may 
Seen better days 
Hopelessly devoured by the same 
Easy mistakes 
Settled into lack of luck 
And finding easy ways 
To not do what he's told 
Or give a fuck

who's to blame?

It's dark but you don't feel scared, ‘cause you know you're it 
Tagged a long time ago, now you're part of the scary shit 
You're not scared 
You're not there 

And no you don't feel sorry when you've hurt somebody 
No you don't 
And there's no tomorrow where you don't feel sore 
Go get your coat 

And its harder every time you half remember 
A little girl you could have been, don’t let it show 
If you’re harder than the world you’ll never get hurt 
But the world is harder every time you know 

I’m sorry dad 
I’m sorry dad 
I’ll miss you dad 
Hope mum’s so mad

Lyrics by Venus In Crisis

Broken Home

I'll be back home 
And I'll sell my soul for you 
I'll pay what I owe 
And sing nice and slow for you 

Let's sit on the couch 
And talk about what makes it tick 
It's nice not to see those little looks that you give 

Can you see for miles 
Up and down the road 
Can you see yourself living on your own 

Make me sick 
Bite my cheek 
Say whats on your mind 
I’m weak 
Hold yourself 
Tall and proud 
Whisper but I hear it loud 

Loud and clear 
Like my fear 
Of losing what 
We have here 
Lets not go 
To the place 
Where the end knows us by name 

He'll let us down 
And she'll show a frown or two 
He'll stay at home 
Praying that things won't, get blue 

They lay on the bed 
With their heads at the wrong end 
They won't push, instead 
They'll sleep with their eyes wide open 

Make me sick 
Bite my cheek 
Say whats on your mind 
I’m weak 
Hold yourself 
Tall and proud 
Whisper but I hear it loud 

Loud and clear 
Like my fear 
Of losing what 
We have here 
Lets not go 
To the place 
Where the end knows us by name 

Babe know 
Someday 
It won't 
Be so 
Easy to forgive me 

Say what you say 
Don't be afraid 
Give me everything 

Make me sick 
Bite my cheek 
Say whats on your mind 
I’m weak 
Hold yourself 
Tall and proud 
Whisper but I hear it loud 

Loud and clear 
Like my fear 
Of losing what 
We have here 
Lets not go 
To the place 
Where the end knows us by name

Little Looks

This song means a great deal to me. It has been rewritten, rearranged, and remixed at least a dozen times but in the end its my favourite song I've written. None of my other songs make me feel so much emotion and pride as this one.

Lyrics:
When I was young 
Sealed the deal with a girl who sung 
She wanted from me 
What I was afraid of to give her 
She wanted something 
I have nothing to give her 

They pressured me 
I couldn't see 
Held up a wall 
Never felt so small 
I don't feel safe 
In their company 

Sorry I can't give you what you want 
(I’m staying clean and you won't hear from me this day on) 
I only wanted us to have some fun 
(Getting away isn't tough when you don't love someone) 

I’m not gonna fool myself anymore 
I prefer handsome men 
And I want them more and more 
I’m standing up and leaving your tent 
I’m sorry, to leave your heart bent 

And now I’ll march the street and scream 
My pride 
I’ll fight for the woman 
To marry her bride 
Help all the men who are trapped in their skin 
And the people who don't think that sex is for them 

I hope when they're older 
They'll look back at this 
And they'll know the pain 
From being told you're a sin 
‘Cause they're no saints 
Won't give us our rights 
So funny that I’m 
Still getting used to life 

I’m not gonna fool myself anymore 
I prefer handsome men 
And I want them more and more 
I’m standing up and leaving your tent 
I’m sorry, to leave your heart bent

Handsome Men

Lyrics:

Pick up your phone
You say you're grown
But that's not set in stone

I say you've gone
Crazy won't 
Sleep anywhere on your own

I’ve made it known
Even shown
My friends that you've lost your throne

Cut that tone
Sweet and prone
To be evil and be shown

Don't call me friend
Even when 
You pretend
To be here for me when
In the end you don't care if this all ends

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

Say say you're sorry now 
Blame blame myself somehow
Hate hate that awful smile
Great great it's over now
It's safe to say i'd improve you went away
It's late come take me home i'm out of time now

The street is cold at night time
You are wasting our time
He'll be here in no time
No guilt this, or any other time

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

It's too late to say you're sorry
If I wait won't get it from anybody

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

I’m sick
Of this
Won't be tricked
By you pricks
I won't miss
None of this
Say good bye and blow a kiss

Say Sorry (feat. Venus In Crisis)

Lyrics:

Some of us
Some of us
Die too young
Die too young
One of us
One of us
Died too young
Died too young 

Are you nervous? I am
Hold your world in my hands
Wish that I was in my day dream

Has the upstairs come for you?
That perfect record gets you through
Has the upstairs come for you?
Still you’re waiting for the boom

And who I still bores me
From a distance my songs
just sound like noise  
About boys

I’m nervous
Wait till you see it
Observe us
We’ll hate the attention

I crave it
I hate it
Somebody’s
To blame it’s
Not her I guess

How do I know what you’ve got?
Sick of all the applause?
Better gets used to it
Your day is coming
Coming quick

I’m nervous
Wait till you see it
Observe us
We’ll hate the attention

I crave it
I hate it
Somebody’s
To blame it’s
Not her I guess

Boy
