Digital Wasteland

Love in the Age of the Asteroid

Transparazoid

Listen to me now I could run away
If you just ask you'll never have to see my face
If I am an ass feel free to abandon me
Cause I am just a plague or an injury

I've never come face to face with my fantasies
Though your offer is great I'll be panicking
Surely this is a a dream but it seems I'm 
Wide awake

My heart would be out of my chest
In catatonic shallow breaths
But faced with such realities
I felt nothing

Fall through the floor
Rendevouz with the dark
Black like ink on parchment 
Ripped in two

You feel 
My weary head
I rest it soft upon your lap 
And look at you instead

I am a God and I am the Devil
I am a slime and only a pestilence
On people places things
Making shit from diamond rings
Taking apart my model trains
Pluck the feathers from my wings
Hide the potion up my sleeve
Bury me but I'm a seed

And the the void is awfully scare you
Holy my hand and gently carry through
And though it comes with brand new kinds of pain
Fuck it...
I guess I'll try again

Industrial Bubblegum

I sit quietly in my display
A glass jar with a warning
Please
Stand ten feet away

People come and shuffle by
Exchange a glance and watch me dance
But leave when it seems I want to die

Ladies and gentlemen, please leave room in the viewing space for gawking and jeering. If you feel extreme nausea or boredom, there are bathrooms on either end of the hall 

But you see the sign and walk right past
And press your face
Against the glass

And you pick me up and take me home
Despite my thorns you keep me warm
Oh finally I’m not alone  

Chorus

Gazing at the clouds
Just don’t look down
It’s more beautiful up here

There are broken things
Lying on the ground
But you can see the stars so clearly

Verse

Well, it seems the time has come
I gotta fuckin bad mood it can’t be undone
My strings are tangled so tightly
Gotta cut through with a machete to find me 

Here we go again
I lost another friend
It cost another limb 
It’s possible that it might
Grow back, should I start prozac
I am a gun made of glass
And I shatter on the blowback

Living in a bubblegum palace 
I can grow so callous
To the world and each other
Cause it’s thrown off balance

Cause fuck, I’m gone, I can’t 
Find my center
We touch I break apart,
You get a splinter

The push the pull it hurts
You hate to see
The water come and dirty
Up the beach

So let me wash away
Without a say
Don’t wait for me

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE STOP BREAKING THE GLASS, IT’S VERY EXPENSIVE, AND YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR-OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK IT! I QUIT!

Chorus

Gazing at the clouds
Just don’t look down
It’s more beautiful up here

Glass Gun

I can see it all from the tree tops
Like a ghost when I eavesdrop
Yes I'm saving the day
Got a vest made of paper machee
So I fear not 

I can feel an earth quake coming 
Something deep  has  been summoned 
Now it seems that  I'm in the running for  
president of born damn sinners
And of course I can stomach anything 
Eat the forks at dinner
Take a course on fitting in the crowd 
For shark made of porcelain 
Tuck my dorsal fin 

You can do just about anything to me
I'm a voodoo doll 
You can put a needle right through me
If you're evil yeah it's all groovy 
It's all good cause I saw it in the movies

In a box
With a padlock
I'm the mascot for the bad thots
With some bad thoughts 
Fuck a prince
Bitch I need a Gaston
All beast no belle
In hell with the gas on 

I have a come a long way
There's no wrong way

Let me go into a dark place
Your with a different face 
Where they're ripping off lace 
And they're kissing my ring 
And they're clipping my wings 
Like a dove in subspace 

Got no self respect 
Got no time to self reflect 
It's been hell to get
Out of paradise and 
Back to the ice 
In an Elsa dress 
I could always settle for less
And I get no rest

Now Im awake 
So I might as well 
Take over the world if I'm up this late 
Damn it's hard time living as a girl 
But I'm doing what I need 
Can you let a bitch breathe 
Cause I'm suffocating 
let me by my damn pizza in peace

Hell is other people
If you're evil you can go and take a piss up on a steeple
If I piss it illegal 
In a couple different states 
I've been doubling the rate
At which Im loving everything about the way I operate 

Cause damn bitch, I'm a hot date 
But the streets are not safe 

So shit, I'm a Dom til I'm out from the jungle 
Then I'm back in subspace

Emily Van Alterman's Album

Subspace

Verse

I'm going through some changes
They're coming round the bend
I'm afraid to show my face
At least I seem courageous to my friends

And every day's a new
Deeper shade of blue
And every step I take's 
Another turning of the screw
And every mirror screams at me
If I ever seem happy
Living in my head in a room with a view

Got more names than I can count
And the more I let it out
The more it's hard to tell what's true

(Chorus)
I can feel my body changing
In strange ways
And yes I shed my skin
I scream these days

I shave my skin down to the bone
I do it all for you
And I'm glad to do it too

I spend most of my peace of mind
On the inner side of my other lives

Beneath the evergreen
I will find the centipedes
I will dine on chicken feed
Though I'm dying finally 
I can find my inner peace
In a place that I designed
For my tiny little mind, I'm free


(Chorus)
I can feel my body changing
In strange ways
And yess I shed my skin
I scream these days

To The  Bone

I used to hear whispers
From the things in the room
I could hear voices
Leaking out of the moon

I used to hear roars
Ripping me in two
Now I'm not as happy
As I was with the blues

I see everything
Even when I blink
I can't feel my fingers
But you gotta kiss the ring
Cause the whole world's in your palm
But it ain't your song if you're not the king

Can I go to hell 
If I have no soul to sell
If I'm living in a shell
Can you please not interrupt me

If I shed a tear again
Then I swear I will repent
I will take a higher dose
So that I can keep it in
I will cut my throat
So I cannot speak a sin
Cause I'd rather be dead 
Than take it on the chin

(Yes I'm all alone)

Not as Happy
