wanted to write and put this out real quick before my birthday. not mixed at all don't @ me

27 (stripped) (DEMO)

lyrics:
I bleed gold from
All the paint I’ve swallowed
To fill up all that hollow
Space inside of me

It gives me friends
That won’t stay out of my head
They help me write my songs and
Hold me when I sleep
Where do I begin?

I fight to get up, but it’s not enough 
I taste the blood between my teeth 

I have old friends
On a broken record
New friends where it should hurt
We watch our bridges burn

At least I don’t
Have to hide my soul from
The shadows in my own home
They beckon me to leave
And what’s stopping me?

Don’t know how to swim, 'cause no one taught me 
So  I learnt to breathe under the sea

And in the end
I'd fall again
I'll burn them all
All again

We Burn Our Bridges Before We Cross 'Em

lyrics:
I wonder how it feels to 
Live a life that's filled with 
Happiness and smiles around 

I fantasize about what 
I'd be like if I was 
Healthy and loved for once 

Tell me how it feels to look like that 
Tell me how it feels to be looked at 
The way you want them to 
I wish I could be you 

Tell me how it feels to not be lost 
Tell me how it feels to 
Be missed when you're gone 
How can I be strong? 

I'm scared of what she would do 
Sera, tell me if you'd 
Change the music or the view 

If what they say about you 
Sera, if it's all true 
I'm scared of what I can't refuse 

Tell me how it feels to be alright 
I'll tell you how it feels to cry at night 
Until your tears run dry 
And pretend you're fine 

Tell me how it feels to love someone 
Tell me how it feels to 
Be loved by someone 
I wish I could be loved 

These green eyes 
Are eating me alive 
You've destroyed me so many times 
but I'm still alive 
So that's alright 
I'm not going down without a fight 

Tell me how it feels to look like that 
Tell me how it feels to be looked at 
The way you want them to 
I wish I could be you 

Tell me how it feels to love someone 
Tell me how it feels to 
Be loved by someone 
I wish I could be loved

Green Eyes (Sera Pt. I)

lyrics:
You left me your card and you 
Left your mark and you 
Left me 

I don't know your heart, if you 
Played the part or just 
Played me? 

CHORUS 
And when the music stops 
I don't know where you are 
Do we pick up where we left off or just ignore the past? 
It's getting hard to see now 
Why must this be so hard 
When the music stops 
I don't know how you feel or if you want to see me still? 
It's getting hard to think now 
It's getting hard to see now 

I wish we could talk but I 
Don't know how, could you 
Show me? 

What did you mean when you 
Held me close and you 
Kissed me? 

CHORUS 

I don't know your heart, if you 
Want my heart, could you 
Tell me?

Closure (Vicky)

Lyrics:
You chase down poetry 
With shots of whiskey, and underneath 
You know you're moving your heart to bleed 
You gave up honesty; 
You wanted a break from reality 
Are you happy with what you've gleaned? 

CHORUS 
Listening to songs that remind you of a past long gone 
Just so you don't have to think about what you've just lost 
And it's funny how they grow in the corner of the room when you're looking 
And it's funny how they know you don't wanna see them bloom so they flourish 
And it's funny how they mark you so you wouldn't forget them soon 
And it's funny how they twist you so you know you'll never have it so good 

I tried to be heartless 
But it was never quite enough 
I guess it's just my shitty luck 
What must I sacrifice 
To survive the road less travelled by 
I was not made for this life 

CHORUS 

As you watch they grow 
You give up on hope 
'Cause you know 
What they've told you is true 
Some things are just not meant for you

Bloom (Gee)

lyrics:
Brown eyes, pink hair 
That vacant stare 
I know all too well 
Small crowd, loud sounds 
Live for a while 
I wish I could have stayed, hey 

CHORUS 
The piano man told me to keep hacking away 
The lion girl taught me to love every day 
I don't wish upon a star, I wish upon a stereo 
In the hopes that someone can hear me 
Can anyone hear me? 

Wide skies, sea breeze 
Puts me at ease 
If only for a while 
Cold air, warm house 
String lights unwound 
I lead the crowd in style now 

CHORUS 

Made a deal with the devil, five cycles to gamble 
My life for my love, else I'll join the club 
When I'm 27, God knows I'm not going to heaven 
And if I win for some reason 
I'd probably be radio silent 

The piano man met me in a sailor blue dress 
The drummer boy told me that he understands 
I don't wish upon a star, I wish upon a stereo 
In the hopes that someone can hear me 
Can anyone hear me?

Radio Silent (Tori)

lyrics:
You know I can't go back 
I don't belong there anymore 
And you're stuck in the past 
The way you wander all alone 

PRECHORUS 
And you, you say I've changed 
Well people change 
But I still feel the same about you 

CHORUS 
When I'm with you I'm 
Sixteen, you've always been my 
Safety, and all I wanna do 
When I'm alone with you 
Is hold your hand and 
Pretend, that nothing's changed and 
Pretend, that time has frozen still 
When I'm alone with you 

You stayed by my side 
In the same place every day 
And I stayed by your side 
The world fell away, in the shade 

PRECHORUS + CHORUS 
I can pretend 
We're sixteen again x 3 

As much as I'd like to deny it 
I've gotten used to the silence 
We've grown apart, almost as far 
As the distance between us 

CHORUS x 2

Sixteen (Bobbi)

lyrics:
Nobody learns 
From mistakes that they've made 
And try as we may 
We don't really change 

And oh, I don't know 
Anything anymore 
I'll go up in flames 
But I can't help myself 

CHORUS 
Can you hear me 
Can you help me 
I don't wanna fade away 
Into the dark, they're waiting for me 
I'm finally fighting 
They're taking me hostage 
Don't let them take me away 

And oh, I don't know 
What I have become 
You say it gets easier 
Well how many more years 

CHORUS 

For once in your life 
You're not driven by spite 
To do something with your life 
And that's a good sign, right? 
You're not wasting your time 
The light in your eyes has returned 
I thought they had burnt out 
In a cold sweat that winter 
When you thought the stars had left 

CHORUS

Cold Sweat (Lynne)

lyrics:
I haunt the block on St Laurent 
(I haunt the block on St Laurent) 
Tryin' to find some peace of mind 
(Tryin' to find some peace of mind) 
In the shared air, shared words 
Screamed until my lungs would burst 
(Scream until it numbs the hurt) 
I find my peace of mind 
(Did you find your peace of mind?) 
In the form of sore throats, ringing ears 
(Have no fear) 
And a piece of me hears the call 
(A piece of me answers the call) 
And haunts the block on St Laurent...

St. Laurent (Ashley)

lyrics:
I know that one day 
We'll go our separate ways 
And I won't ask you to stay 
So hold me close 
Till the sky's no longer grey 

PRECHORUS 
We'll keep each other company 
You know I was just lonely 
We couldn't give each other more 
So here we are 

CHORUS 
Your rabbit foot heart 
Beating against my 
Hand on your heart 
Breathe in your scent 
In a whirlwind of cards 
Somehow we picked right 
I'll say goodnight 
To your rabbit foot heart 

PRECHORUS 
CHORUS

Rabbit Foot Heart (Sera Pt. II)

lyrics:
I can't trust anyone who won't show me 
Their flaws, their bumps, their anxiety 
I don't believe they have none 
She's got me wrapped around her little finger 
Standing at the edge before the water 
I could still go back but I want to fall 

I'm not the answer to your prayers 
We're not getting any younger 
Silver tongue under silver stars 
Your hands so cold I almost faltered 

CHORUS	
You put a spell on me 
So give me something to believe in 
Your words twist themselves 
In a familiar shape 
I know your spell, it's not too late 
But I'll stay 
So give me something to believe in 
So give me something to believe in 

I thought that I would never belong 
I'd given up but then she came along 
Sweet things on the tip of her tongue 
She's got me wrapped around her little finger 
Standing at the edge before the water 
I'm not going back, I'm gonna fall 

Your bass echoes in my bones 
Your name echoes when I'm alone 
I know it's inevitable 
But I hope that you'll be gentle 

CHORUS

HYRE
