"The Calendar" by Nola Wren
Written by Kara Francavillo aka Nola Wren
Produced by John Leventhal and Rick DePofi

we got the itch 
hiding under our skin
but it's not a problem
settle down
steady grin
keep in time

you got the fix
and i need a friend
the weather sucks
it's always rain, rain, rain
a crying sky
it makes me sick

i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh i know i won't be here forever

into the night, walking be hand in hand
flipping off jerks pissing on the church steps
and what we we build
we will be build again
over time

i got the wits
to survive the distance
from things that i want
and the things i'm missing
i miss you more
every day
and that's just fine  

i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh i know i won't be here forever

so save every little thing you see
in pages
photographs
and moving frames
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home


i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh i know i won't be here forever

i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh i know i won't be here forever

so save every little thing you see
in pages
photographs
and moving frames
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home
i'm coming home

i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh I know i won't be here forever

i mark another x
through another square
on the calendar grid
and repeat again
oh I know i won't be here forever

~LYRICS~

she laughs on cue
it hurts a little
she's out to prove
that she don't want to hold his hand today
cause more than friends is such a dangerous game

her tongue is like a candlestick
this kind of silence kills like suffocation
she tries to melt it but it's flame resistant

flame resistant...
flame resistant...

ooh-ah candlestick, yeah i can be your candlestick
ooh-ah candlestick, yeah i can be your candlestick

she's black & blue
with desperation
she's like a bruise
he's wishing she'd just save herself the pain
why can't she see that he don't feel the same

she's locked inside his neon grip
she tries to to hold him but his hands are ice picks
she tries to melt them but they're flame resistant

flame resistant...
flame resistant...

The black ink settles in the weekend sky
New York can sure accessorize
The buildings scrape the sky like games

rise up, spitting fire, flick your wick girl do your thing
we're always reposit-a-switch-pop-twist-transioning
skull cap off, let me sing
my mouth will light the way

ooh-ah candlestick, yeah i can be your candlestick
ooh-ah candlestick, yeah i can be your candlestick

// LYRICS //

Your body is a knife
And it's tearing into me
I can't help but wonder if I'll make it
Another day
All these games we play
Don't mean a single thing

So go on leave me
High and dry
You look so lonely
Just walking by

Ooh, ooh
You're the knife I can't let go

Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head
Let it go oh oh
oh, oh
Let it go oh oh
oh, oh

My body is a light
And it's not about to fade
Shadowboxing spaces you left haunted
In my mind
Remember what you said
Swear I won't forget

So go on leave me
High and dry
You look so lonely
Baby, so am I

Ooh, ooh
You're the knife I can't let go

Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head
Twist the knife a bit harder
Can you kill the monster in me?
Twist the knife a bit harder
When I hit the ground, you bleed

Let it go oh oh oh
oh, oh
Let it go oh oh

Don't let it go to your head!

Twist the knife a bit harder
Can you kill the monster in me?
Twist the knife a bit harder
When I hit the ground, you bleed
Don't let it go to your head
Twist the knife a bit harder
Can you kill the monster in me?
Twist the knife a bit harder
When I hit the ground, you bleed

lyrics

you’ve got a place to call home
and I’ve got nowhere to go
been fooling myself
to think you wish I stayed
see now the truth is as far as the love that we made

ooh, take me right back to the goddamn start
ooh, before you broke my bones
like you broke my heart
ooh, swinging my hair wild in the dead of night

I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh

the size of your heart doesn’t show
only the places it goes
back to the girl
you never mention her name
but I’m terribly certain that girl isn’t me

ooh, take me right back to the goddamn start
ooh, before you broke my bones
like you broke my heart
ooh, swinging my hair wild in the dead of night

I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh
I don’t feel a thing, ooh

"Venom"
Lyrics by Kara Renee Francavillo (Nola Wren)
Produced by Kara Renee Francavillo, Harper James, & Gian Stone
Recorded at Stone Recording
Mixed by Harper James and Gian Stone
Mastered by Justin Colletti

Lyrics:

You
You always laugh the hardest
When I fall
When I fall down
Pray I make some big mistake
Cause you love it when I break
When I break down

You're like
Tell it to the concrete
Tell it to the wind
No one gives a flying fuck
About my sins
You know
You know, you know, you know
I've been digging your grave
With a genuine smile
Ear to ear
Everyone will know for miles
Just how much
you done me wrong
Oh

I bite back
Taste my venom
Kiss my ass
You won't even last the night
I bite back
Taste my venom, taste my venom

Jazzy
You think thank you're above me
Cause you got lots of money
And you know I don't
Shadow
I'll haunt you like a shadow
Crawl deep inside your brain
Take it nice and slow

You're like
Tell it to the concrete
Tell it to the wind
No one gives a flying fuck
About my sins
You know
You know, you know, you know
I've been digging your grave
With a genuine smile
Ear to ear
Everyone will know for miles
Just how much
you done me wrong
Oh

I bite back
Taste my venom
Kiss my ass
You won't even last the night
I bite back
Taste my venom, taste my venom

You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night
You won't even last the night

unmixed/unmastered demo

"Dancing On The Roof" performed by Nola Wren
Written by: Kara Renee Francavillo and Michael Keenan
Produced by: Michael Keenan

Lyrics:

My heart was a red brick house
with no doors
and I hid the key
under the floorboards
swore I would never let you get in
'til making you mine became my mission

Talk tough 'til two in the morning
walk home alone in the rain
I've got a lingering question
have I gone bat shit insane?
about time I swallow my pride
the answer's written behind your eyes
and babe I'm terrified

'cause when I catch that look
I wanna be an open book
show you what I hide inside
but if I let you read my mind
promise not to run away
forever you are here to stay
dancing on the roof
ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

Trouble is a girl I used to know
with a one track mind
and a plastic soul
living in a leather bound tragedy
don't you know by now that girl ain't me

Talk tough 'til two in the morning
walk home alone in the rain
I've got a lingering question
have I gone bat shit insane?
about time I swallow my pride
the answer's written behind your eyes
and babe I'm terrified

'cause when I catch that look
I wanna be an open book
show you what I hide inside
but if I let you read my mind
promise not to run away
forever you are here to stay
dancing on the roof
ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh

Legs made to bend
meant to reach
born to run
pick up your feet
darling don't you see
I'm the one

'cause when I catch that look
I wanna be an open book
show you what I hide inside
but if I let you read my mind
promise not to run away
forever you are here to stay
dancing on the roof

run baby run baby run
don't run now
run baby run baby run
ooh
run baby run baby run
don't run now
run baby run baby run

"Levitate" by Written & Produced by Nola Wren
Mixed by Mher Filian
Mastered by Joe LaPorta at Sterling Sound

Lyrics

I think somebody broke my brain
Impossible to concentrate
Holy water, what a waste
Don’t you know?
I like the taste

Got an appetite
For a low blow
Eat my face for dinner like a psycho
When I medicate
Baby, I can levitate
'Til you’re nothing but an echo

Better watch your back
Stepping over me
Pray to the god you know
Damage don’t dance with anxiety
Fuck it, baby
You’re too slow

Wrap my hands around your neck
Can I get a little respect?
Burn me at the stake
Baby, I will levitate
'Til you’re nothing but an echo
And now you’re nothing but a

Now you're nothing but an echo
Now you're nothing but an echo

Wrap my hands around your neck
Can I get a little respect?
Burn me at the stake
Baby, I will levitate
'Til you're nothing but an echo
And no, you're nothing but a---

And now you're nothing but an echo
(ooh, ohh)
Now you're nothing but an echo

Echo, echo
And now you're nothing but an echo, echo
(ooh, ooh)
Echo, echo
Now you're nothing but an echo, echo

Levitate

LYRICS

She got a creature within
Hiding under the skin
It’s taken over
Going all over town
Out raising hell with her mouth
And baby, you should be afraid

Lock the door
I'll hop the fence
Don't ask me how this story ends
Just when you think you're safe
Here comes the tidal wave

Roll with it
I’m all right
Feed me that noise 
‘Til I rot my mind
Hear me now
Let it out
Grind it up
Spit it out

When reality hits
I’m waking up in a ditch
Dear god, I’m wasted
And I’ll admit I’m a bitch
But I’m too proud to admit
I got a weakness

Honey, are you listening?
I said I'm trying to behave
Wait, let me numb the pair
Bury it in my brain

Roll with it
I’m all right
Feed me that noise 
‘Til I rot my mind
Hear me now
Let it out
Grind it up
Spit it out
All day
All I do is die
But baby, come night
I’m electrified
Bleeding out
You could stay here forever
Or get right to the point
‘Cause it’s now or never

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let it out, let it out
Let it all go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let it out, let it out
Let it all go

May the angels carry my soul to sleep
May his wicked words
Wash over me
Love is all I got
So make it real
Oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let it out, let it out
Let it all go
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let it out, let it out
Let it all go
Oh, oh, oh

I'm a creature
I'm a creature
Yeah

Love is all I got, so make it real...

Bloodbath

Written & Produced by Nola Wren

I'm high on innocence and electricity
I haven't felt this raw since I was seventeen
Got a feeling it don't happen all the time

Whisper slow
As you draw near
Oh, I think I will stay
After all, after all

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

I've been dramatic
Bitching I would die alone
But here and now
Your hand in mine
It feels like home
Got a feeling
It don't happen all the time

Lights sink low
And so do all my fears
Oh, I think I will stay
Let's just fall, let's just fall

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
I'll hold on just a little bit longer
I'll hold on just a little bit longer
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Tonight!

TONIGHT
