If I walked into a bar andheard the live musician playing this I'd buy 2 beers and tip you for being original. It's very punk rock in its attitude and not caring about things that don't matter, but with a folk heart. It's the kind of angry song you write in a flash of fire. Your voice reminds me of Jewel, very pretty.

quick fun song I wrote about running certain ways to try to avoid certain outcomes, yet things happen at the most randomest times for a reason..

Lyrics:

Run a way
Run a way
Runaway from feelings I can
Runaway from feelings I know (I know)
Expect the worst to happen
Toss way diverting distractions (bad distractions)

Even when the sky is red
I know I will fall (fall)
Odd times come when it’s said waiting for fall (fall)
Bright leaves stay when its summer
Summer times make good days 
Come quickly, spring into action
That time n day won’t stay

Runaway I said it before
Runaway I’m too much to handle
Grab a broom and sweep dust (sweep me)
Run a way
Run a way

run a way (prod neverforever)

Blackshirts

lyrics:
Saturday night she’s dancing on the ceiling
Saturday night she’s fallen in a feeling
Friday night she was 
Dancing with the others
Saturday morning drowning under covers

Alice found a new fight
Alice count your cards right
what you take before you fall
did the bottle made you small

good girls don’t look like that
good girls don’t run
but the smile that remains
is steady as a gun

and they tried convincing her
what happened in her mind
she is down the rabbit hole
and left a card behind

stand here the world is still spinning
do you think the cat has stopped grinning
when the hatter handed you a beverage
play nice you got no leverage

tweedled dee and tweedled dum
are young drunk and full of fun
can you smile like a cat
do you wonder where you’re at

red queen is giving you the reason
red queen is charging you with treason
she screamed but no one could hear her
good girl just fell through the mirror

will you won’t you join the dance
give the walrus one more chance
does it matter what you see
if it breaks so easily

alice I will stand by you
doesn’t matter what they do
if they never understand
you are safe in wonderland

and if they call you crazy
for the vision that you had
I will join the dance with you
and let us both be mad

good girls don’t look like that
bad girls are fun
keep the smile that remains
it’s steady as a gun

how they tried convincing her
what happened in her mind
she is through the looking glass
Alice will be fine

NOTES:
I took this picture when I had a background role as a cheerleader on a tv show. We didn't do any tricks, just yells and kicks. It was weirdly fun to cheer for nothing. The outfits were actually really comfortable.

We get this album out of the pants. The work is good. If you do not understand our intention, then you are scum.

welp fuck it

car troubles

Lyrics

I’m in the drive way hear me calling? 
flash the headlights As the night is falling 
gravel grinding beneath your feet
saw you smiled soft and sweet

we’re hoping the radio
plays a song we know
wind it up and let go

keep the car running 
and hold me
no we ain’t running 
no we ain’t running 
we run this town

then you finally started talking
but your voice it sounded mocking
you were bragging that you won’t stay
said that you were leaving today

it’s fine I believe you
just go I don't need you
I’m ready to leave you

keep the car running and let me go
no I ain’t running, I run this show

 but we drove on until the sunrise
and I saw you look in my eyes
and I am not sure where we’re going
but I don’t see a point in knowing

the heat and the sun
had us under the gun
were we wild and young
we were wild and young

I am tired of balcony scenes
if you run will you run to me
what we wanted is too far to see
if you run will you run to me?
if you run will you run to me?

are you ready to go home now
did you want to be alone now
we were wild are we still young
I taste copper on your tongue

I was tired afraid
and so I looked away
but you started to say
(oh you started to say)

keep the car running 
and hold me
no we ain’t running 
no we ain’t running 
we run this town

Flash the Headlights

You're gonna see it through, kid
I can't let you forget everything that you had
Oh, how I wish that (how I wish that)
We could sail Again

Take me with you
Anywhere you go you'll come to find
That glamour's hard to come by
When you're indifferent 
All you feel seems so unreal
Like a surreal fantasy with withdrew 
From the depths of your head

In which you forget everything you are
And just wallow in despair... 

Once upon a night so dark
I felt your daylight burning out
What if I just made a sound (made a sound)
I could make it work it time
In time

My vision got used to the dark
I can't afford to forget 
(The sun!)

Satisfaction, a simple reaction 
That I can never have
But for tomorrow you have to survive
For tomorrow you have to thrive
For tomorrow you have to thrive

Once upon a night so dark
I felt your daylight burning out
What if I just made a sound (made a sound)
I could make it work it time
In time

Once upon a night so dark
I felt your daylight burning out
What if I just made a sound (made a sound)
I could make it work it time
In time

You're Gonna See It Through, Kid

if you think you're crazy and you're not crazy
does that make you crazy
the fact that people think the world ain't crazy
proves it is
repeat the same flawed processes
over and over again
condemn other ways then
criticise how nothings changed

and we're losing
and we lost the war years ago

live and love, live and laugh
push your problems to the side
watch the news get sad
the ads come on the sad subsides
go to work, go home
go online and buy buy buy
we had dreams once then get older
and said bye oh goodbye

But still all we want is to be rich
Because money rules the world
You can buy a nicer car
And it consumes the soul

cop brutality just a few bad eggs
the systems good
lets make a saint of starbucks
it creates livelihoods
we're all peaceful people, lets all just say
live and let live
those who demand peace
don't always themselves believe in it

stop your wars, acab
and fuck you too
i actually gave a shit once but now all i care to say is shit like
eat the rich, viva la revolution, 1312

I'll Figure This Out

Barely Civil - "Fairmount"

I have an obsession.
One unlike yours of your complexion,
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal,
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave,
And I feel like everyone around me is sailing,
Along the smoothest seas but I'm failing,
To find a way to the shore.
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence.
Why does everything that I touch turn to stone?
I'll keep my hands to myself in the future to keep you closer to me.
I guess I'm sinking here all alone in your absence.
And oh did I mention,
I'm calloused from every kind of rejection,
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I still feel.I'm sure it makes me out to be something that I'm not.Now all the people that surround me are saying: ""We miss the way you were"".
Now I'm praying that I can find my way to the shore,
I'll turn the past to the present alone in your absence.
I have an obsession.
One unlike yours of your complexion,
But there's a blemish beneath my skull that I must conceal,
Before it takes me in like a tidal wave.
I'm sinking here all alone in your absence.

LYRICS: 

Your eyes light up in the rain 
They are so full of pain 
You are my night and day 
Why wish yourself away? 

What am I fighting for? 
Can’t do this anymore 
Not what I bargained for 
You’re bleeding on the floor 

I can’t forget 
The day everything fell apart 
I would do anything for a new start 
Where can we go 
That the past will not follow 
Maybe it’s time 
That I move on and let go 

So bittersweet 
in this delicate happiness 
That I can’t tell apart from the suffering 
It’s a blur 
But it tells me that I’m still here 
I’m in tune 
Run the melody through me
