You don't wanna let me down
'Cause you don't really feel like drowning
And you can't make a sound
When you're underwater drowning
Maybe we should warn you now
There's a clock in the kitchen that's counting
We won't let you make a sound
'Cause we don't really feel like drowning

Drowning

I'm over here, baby
Sitting across the room
She's over there racing to try and get to you
I'm over here crying out of laughter
She's sitting there real cute
Put that bitch on prescriptions if she think she fuckin' you

Baby, call me AK-47
47, ah-ah
'Cause I can fuck you like a weapon
Like a weapon, ah-ah
I don't do well with these bitches
Honey, you know I am vicious
AK-47, 47, ah-ah

She a dead fish anyway
You could do it straight, you could do it sideways
But if we do it my way you'll be crying for your mommy
I know how to ride forever, turn me upside down
Put your hands around my throat, I'm 'bout to win the crown

Baby, call me AK-47
47, ah-ah
'Cause I can fuck you like a weapon
Like a weapon, ah-ah
I don't do well with these bitches
Honey, you know I am vicious
AK-47, 47, ah-ah

AK-47
Pull my trigger, set me off
When my body's closer, try to show me off
Oh-oh-oh, baby
Be quiet, hush up
Don't wake our neighbors, they've heard enough

Baby, call me AK-47
47, ah-ah
'Cause I can fuck you like a weapon
Like a weapon, ah-ah
I don't do well with these bitches
Honey, you know I am vicious
AK-47, 47, ah-ah

AK-47

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

Tell me how you want me
I'll do anything you say
You like to play a lot of games
I'll be your favorite toy to play
You know I'm waiting for your call
I'm waiting for your call all-day
I find you absolutely handsome
Whenever you walk away

And we got so many sides
I just can't seem to decide
You just can't make up your mind
La-da-da-la-da-da-da

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

I'll tell you how I want you
You'll do anything I say
I like to play a lot of games
You're just a little toy I play
I know you're waiting for my call so
I'll just make you wait all-day
I like keeping you obsessed so
I'll just keep walking away

And we got so many sides
I just can't seem to decide
You just can't make up your mind
La-da-da-la-da-da-da

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

I know that you love me
Something we don't have to say
How we're always entertained
With all the little games we play
I'm never waiting for your call
'Cause we don't need to talk all day
We only love a little bit
'Cause, baby, that's the only way

I don't know who you are
'Cause I don't know who I am
How can you know how to love
If you change your mind again?
I don't know who to be
Who do you want me to be?
Schizo, schizo, schizo (Schizo, oh)

Schizo

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

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

Angels Song (Angels Hello Are You There)

I don't know how to stay away from it
The smoke always calls me to play (Come play)
Tricky monsters conspire in the atmosphere
Pulling me down toward their weight

If a fire's burning garbage on the yard
I wanna save 'em but I always end up burned
My body goes through a cremation
I forget that I can't build with
Those who lack a good foundation
Always breaking (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings are frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed

Be on your merry way, be better
Both of my antennas read you like a letter
I won't be around a fake caterpillar
Get in your cocoon
Baby, don't be bitter

Don't expect me to cradle you gently
I know that my boundaries were thin
Transformation destroyed all the pages
Of patterns we once were locked in
Now my instinct won't be rushing
To your rescue on a Sunday
When you've had enough parading
And displaying of your bouquet
It's all thorns with petals scorched
And ribbons tied so fucking loosely
Wouldn't choose it (Yeah, yeah)

Baby, I'm a moth and you're the flame
I kept flying
Every time you called I always came
You kept lying
Danced around your inconsistent flame
Wings are frying
Somehow I was always getting blamed

Inconsistent Flame

You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout

And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'

Don't dress it up, tell me the raw and real
I can't mind read how you feel
Open your throat
I'm gonna climb in to catch what you said to me
Your tongue is as, as cutting as, as a machete

Under the desk
It's pretty vulnerable, I confess
You're always safe with me
So don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm trying to find the solution, no stressin'

Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat

And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress

I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)

Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy

Under The Desk

Everybody seems to want the gold
You know that's what they're after
All they hear is "Kid, don't break the mold
Do as you're told, you'll win much faster"

Won't kiss your ass just to go fast
Don't put me in that box 'cause I'll just set it on fire
You only give grace 'cause you can't create
Does it make you feel important to judge where we lay?

Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth
Your games won't work
Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth (No, no)

Staying up at night with Adderall
You call that pill your best friend
You have lost your interest to grow
Don't go jump off the deep end

Won't kiss your ass just to go fast
Don't put me in that box 'cause I'll just set it on fire
You only give grace 'cause you can't create
Does it make you feel important to judge where we lay?

Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth
Your games won't work
Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth (Oh, no)

Are you done searching for glittery gold on your shelf?
Baby stop trying to fit a standard made by somebody else

Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth
Your games won't work
Don't need your trophy to know my worth (No, no)
Know my worth (No, no)

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

[Verse 1]
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

[Verse 2]
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

[Verse 3]
Always, no, sometimes think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think a "no" will mean a "yes" but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

[Chorus]
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever

[Outro]
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
I can't help falling in love with you

Can’t Help Falling in Love

Lana Del Rey Cover

[Verse 1]
Elvis is my daddy
Marilyn's my mother
Jesus is my bestest friend
We don't need nobody
'Cause we got each other
Or at least I pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
We get down every Friday night
Dancing and grinding in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry
We're feeling alright
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind

[Chorus]
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric

[Post-Chorus]
I sing the body electric
Sing that body electric, body electric
I'm on fire, sing that body electric

[Verse 2]
Whitman is my daddy
Monaco's my mother
Diamonds are my bestest friend
Heaven is my baby
Suicide's her father
Opulence is the end

[Pre-Chorus]
We get down every Friday night
Dancing and grinding in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry
Singing alright
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind

[Chorus]
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric

[Post-Chorus]
I sing the body electric
Sing that body electric, body electric
I'm on fire, sing that body electric

[Chorus]
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric

[Post-Chorus]
I sing the body electric
Sing that body electric, body electric
I'm on fire

[Bridge]
We get crazy every Friday night
Drop it like it's hot in the pale moonlight
Grand Ole Opry
Feeling alright
Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind

[Chorus]
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric

[Post-Chorus]
I sing the body electric
Sing that body electric, body electric
I'm on fire, sing that body electric

[Outro]
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric, baby
I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric
Sing that body electric, body electric
I'm on fire

[Verse 1]
You were here before, couldn't look you in the eyes
You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather in a beautiful world
I wish I was special, you're so very special

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

[Verse 2]
Don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control
I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice that I'm not around
You're so very special, I wish I was special

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here, no, no

[Bridge]
She's running out again
She's running out
Run, run, run, run
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

[Outro]
Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want
You're so very special, I wish I was special

Creep

A Fine Frenzy Cover

[Verse 1]
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

[Verse 2]
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never ever forget these images

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Almost Lover

Fleetwood Mac Cover

[Verse 1]
Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering of what you had
And what you lost and what you had and what you lost

[Chorus]
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know

[Verse 2]
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams
And have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering of what you had
And what you lost and what you had and what you lost

[Chorus]
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

[Outro]
Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know
You will know, you'll know

Dreams

Clockwork - Melanie Martinez

PIGGYBACK Lyrics
I was three years old
All I wanted was the music and
My parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place working over time always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring

Ooh
Moved to a small town and 
Started to started to grow
Poetry written I’m singing and dancing
Ooh
Photographs painting cartoons 
That's all I know
That's all I know

I have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I never did cause she’s the only one who sees me for who I really am instead of how many I reach

Ooh 
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt 
I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood cause they know
They ain't getting no more

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

Now I’m 22 and I've had a crazy year of
Isolation from all the plastic people here 
I can not wait for the day I can finally move away back to New York city where the realest people really stay

Ooh
Spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close 
Trying to learn and evolve

I’m so done with playing piggy back Ooh
Swear to god I wished y’all all the best Ooh
You’re lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit
Put my love in this shit
Now you’re trying to kill my name for some fame
What is this
Tried to help you do your shit
Encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

I’m so done with playing piggy back
Ooh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best
Ooh
You're lying your way to try and gain a piece of me 
when you could never come close cause I know my destiny
