Melanie Martinez unreleased in order

How can I see when my eyes are closed?
How can you be so far away and already wanna go?
How can we talk when our mouths are closed?
And I want you to know I can't fix what you have broke

Close my eyes and go to sleep (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
Are you happy now you're free? (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You gave me your heart and took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me

How can we write when the ink is gone?
Our love's an empty page that you've never written on
How can we be what we used to be?
Was it all just make-believe when my heart was on my sleeve?

Close my eyes and go to sleep (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
And are you happy now you're free? (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You gave me your heart and took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me

Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards no destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards no destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards no destiny
Our love's a postcard on its way heading towards no destiny

Close my eyes and go to sleep (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You're the last thing, the last thing that I see

I had a thousand words to say
You just chose to walk away
And are you happy now you're free? (Whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
You gave me your heart and took it back from me
Now I've seen the light of day
Boy, you don't mean shit to me

A Thousand Words

I had pinwheels in my eyes for you
Blinded by the pinks and blues
Oh, you were my wind-up Romeo
We had matching bubblegum tattoos
Serenade me with your kazoo
You tricked me with your ribbons and your bows

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Wine and dine me with your plastic fruit
Robbed me of my sweet tooth
Held me up with a loaded water gun
Tied me to these toy train tracks
You left me there and you never came back
Tacky souvenirs when it's said and done

It's so shiny in a shopping cart
Pretty in a parking lot
But when you go home
That's when it falls apart

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store
You sold me all those cheap lies
Could've built me a whole 99 cent store

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I still think about you sometimes
Only when I walk through the 99 cent store

99 Cent Store

Pupils begin to observe
Watching the waste on this earth
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Letting them smoke their herbs
Nails bitten down to the nub
Palms light on fire as they rub
Soup never reaches its boil
Dinner ain't the only thing they spoil

Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you

Skin tearin' down to the bone
Freckles fall off as they're told
You realize soon your identity changes
No longer the person you were
No longer the person they adore

Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you

Thank you mama for all you've done
Gave me cancer and thick black lungs
Left me rotting on the street
Rather shoot up than have food to eat

Let the maggots and worms infest your brains
Cut your memory off, Alzheimer's begins
Let that hell of a drug emerge in your veins
And I will claim that I love you
I am the one who birthed you
I am the one who birthed you

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Mamas don't love their kids like they used to
Letting them smoke their herbs

Birthing Addicts

Baby, I think I'm crazy over you
Give the stars and the moon and I know that you would too
My eyes begin to widen when you walk in the room
My face lights up and it's apparent that I'm falling for you

I'm tangled in a nest deep down in your heart
I'm breathing through your lungs, want to spend this time apart
And I don't want to start

Baby, I know I'm crazy over you
I'd give you the world and you're the only one I'd give it to
I won't break my promise and I'm aware that neither will you
Pinky promised on forever and forever is what I shall do

I'm tangled in a nest deep down in your heart
I'm breathing through your lungs, want to spend this time apart
And I don't want to start
I don't want to start
I'm tangled in a nest deep down in your heart
I'm breathing through your lungs, want to spend this time apart
And I don't want to start

I Think I’m Crazy

Here's the deal, I knew it wasn't your fault
But you placed the blame on me, that was uncalled for
I've plenty empathy to try and lend you
You seem to stop trying, oh
Our karma took us here, we're in a pickle
But as long as we're sincere and never fickle
You've got a lit perspective
Of trying to listen to get out of this cycle, oh

Ain't too proud to try
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so

Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love

Feeling all the doom and all the thunder
'Cause the storms, they do consume, they cause a blunder
Even though we can't undo what's been established
You can learn from all the clouds
Maybe I've been too isolated
I can say the same for you, but we can make it
If we throw away our pride for just a second
It's okay to not be right

Ain't too proud to try
I'll hear you out, I'll make it sprout, grow
All the stupid shit and all the doubts all matter now, so

Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love
Show me a piece of your mind
I'm a sponge and it's water time
I'll project a piece of my heart
Absorb all the love, absorb all the love

Absorb

Miss Maggie was way too young to understand
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands
Why she woke up to strange men
They tore her to pieces and she couldn't comprehend
Why she was locked up in a basement filled with men
Should've gone to school, instead she did them

Don't touch me, I'm fragile
I'm bitter in my heart
Mama sold me for candy
And I was ruined from the start

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how will my friends understand?
I'm five years old sleepin' with a million men

All grown up and her body has decayed
All those promiscuous games she had to play
No, she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way
Sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway
No, she's tryna, tryna, tryna escape

I'm runnin' full force, dear
But it's harder when you're bones
I'm weak-kneed but I'm flyin' out of this hell hole

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me but how will my friends understand?
I'm ten years old runnin' from a million men

Finally, the light is comin' close
No turning back, run full force
Angels swoop down and grab me
And now I'm safe away from the million men who raised me

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
They cut me up in places I don't even understand
It's normalcy to me, how will my boyfriend understand?
I'm seventeen with a history of a million men, men

A million men, men
A million men, a million men
A, a million, a million men
A million men, men
A million men

A Million Men

I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket
I-I-I'm hunting
Looking for a come up
This is awesome
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket
I-I'm hunting
Looking for a come up
This is fucking awesome

[Verse 1]
Walk up in the club like, "What up, I got a big-"
Nah, I'm just pumped, just bought some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
People like, "Damn, that's a cold ass honkey!"
Rollin' in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink; except my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girl standing next to me
Probably should've washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets

[Hook]
I'm gonna pop some tags

[Verse 2]
Shit, it was 99 cents
Coppin' it, washin' it
'Bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins
Someone else been walking in
Bummy and grungy, fuck it, man
Stunting and flossing and saving my money
And I'm hella happy; that's a bargain, bitch
I'ma take your grandpa's style
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma take your grandpa's style
For real, ask your grandpa
Can I have his hand-me-downs?
Thank you
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie brown leather jacket that I found diggin'
They had a broken keyboard, bought a broken keyboard
I bought a blanket, then I bought a knee board
Hello, hello, my ace man, my mellow
John Wayne got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like, "Ah, he got the Velcros"

[Hook]
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got 20 dollars in my pocket

[Bridge]
I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road
I wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road

[Intro]
I've been drinking, I've been drinking
I get filthy when that liquor get into me
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Why can't I keep my fingers off it, baby?
I want you, na na
Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
I want you, na na

[Verse 1]
Cigars on ice, cigars on ice
Feeling like an animal with these cameras all in my grill
Flashing lights, flashing lights
You got me faded, faded, faded
Baby, I want you, na na
Can't keep your eyes off my fatty
Daddy, I want you, na na
Drunk in love, I want you

[Bridge]
We woke up in the kitchen saying
"How the hell did this shit happen?", oh baby
Drunk in love, we be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club
Drunk in love

[Hook]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

[Verse 2]
We be all night, and everything alright
No complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights
Boy, I'm drinking, park it in my lot, 7-11
I'm rubbing on it, rub-rubbing
If you scared, call that reverend
Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right
Armand de Brignac, gangster wife
Louis sheets, he sweat it out like washed rags, he wet it up
Boy, I'm drinking, I'm singing on the mic 'til my voice hoarse
Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard
Surfboard, surfboard
Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood
I'm swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body Benz
Serving all this, swerve, surfing all of this good good

[Bridge]
We woke up in the kitchen saying
"How the hell did this shit happen?", oh baby
Drunk in love, we be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club
Drunk in love

[Hook]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

[Verse 3]
Hold up
That D'USSÉ is the shit if I do say so myself
If I do say so myself, if I do say so myself
Hold up, stumble all in the house time to back up all that mouth
That you had all in the car, talking 'bout you the baddest bitch thus far
Talking 'bout you be repping that 3rd, wanna see all that shit that I heard
Know I sling Clint Eastwood, hope you can handle this curve, uh
Foreplay in a foyer, fucked up my Warhol
Slid the panties right to the side
Ain't got the time to take drawers off, on sight
Catch a charge I might, beat the box up like Mike
In '97 I bite, I'm Ike Turner, turn up
Baby know I don't play, now eat the cake, Anna Mae
Said, "Eat the cake, Anna Mae!"
I'm nice, for y'all to reach these heights you gon' need G3
4, 5, 6 flights, sleep tight
We sex again in the morning, your breasteses is my breakfast
We going in, we be all night

[Hook]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

[Verse 4]
Never tired, never tired
I been sippin', that's the only thing
That's keeping me on fire, me on fire
Didn't mean to spill that liquor all on my attire
I've been drinking, watermelon
(I want your body right here, daddy, I want you, right now)
Can't keep your eyes off my fatty
Daddy, I want you

[Hook]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

Drunk In Love

Tegan and Sara Cover 

[Verse 1]
Where do you go with your broken heart in tow?
What do you do with the left over you?
And how do you know when to let go?
Where does the good go, where does the good go?

[Bridge]
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love is like our love
Look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen

[Chorus]
It's love that leaves and breaks the seal
Of always thinking you would be real
Happy and healthy, strong and calm
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?

[Verse 2]
Where do you go when you're in love and the world knows?
How do you live so happily while I am sad and broken down?
What do you say? "It's up for grabs now that you're on your way down?"
Where does the good go, where does the good go?

[Bridge]
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love is like our love
Look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen

[Chorus]
It's love that leaves and breaks the seal
Of always thinking you would be real
Happy and healthy, strong and calm
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?

[Bridge]
Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find me attractive
Look me in the heart and tell me you won't go
Look me in the eye and promise no love's like our love
Look me in the heart and unbreak broken, it won't happen

[Chorus]
It's love that leaves and breaks the seal
Of always thinking you would be real
Happy and healthy, and strong and calm
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?

[Outro]
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?
Where does the good go?

Where Does the Good Go

Ruth Etting Cover

After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day when you'll grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

After You’ve Gone

Bon Iver Cover

I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse

Flume

Ed Sheeran Cover

Give me love like her
Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Pain splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call ya
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me to burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, give me love

Give me love like never before
Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call ya
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No, I just wanna hold ya

Give a little time to me to burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My-my, my-my, oh give me love

Give a little time to me to burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, oh give me love
My-my, my-my, give me love

Give Me Love

Death Cab for Cutie Cover

[Verse 1]
Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels, to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

[Chorus]
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
I'll follow you into the dark

[Verse 2]
Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

[Chorus]
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
I'll follow you into the dark

[Bridge]
You and me have seen everything
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But there's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon

[Chorus]
If Heaven-

I Will Follow You Into The Dark
