Lyrics: 

This is like a puzzle, one I am trying to solve

 The blurred lines of what reality is and isn’t should be outlawed 

You’re my missing piece

that slips under the table 
then back in my hand. 

Yet you’re a wooden puzzle piece 

And I’m just cardboard 

Your slight upwards curvature might seemingly fit 
 but it will always stand out…

It will always come from a well-rooted  tree. 

Unlike me 


You blame the cheap puzzle. 

and her paper-thin plans? 

I replied 
have you ever 
seen a  puzzle 
that came 
with instructions?

Puzzled

An attempt at trying to capture the feel of what it is like to be just friends when you want more. 
Lyrics:

I was forced into a one-sided relationship 

But
 now I am drowning in commitment 

I was looking for my equivalent,

 but now I am sinking 
due to the scale being broken.

I swim around trying to find 
our buried treasure

As my lungs fill up with liquid 

I would die to be more than friends 
I would die …

Drowning in Friendship

Lyrics:
Hit me, Hit me, and continue to dismiss me 
Kiss me, Kiss me until my lips bleed
I would do almost anything to get high off your energy  
Are you the problem if I keep showing up on your doorsteps with tears in my eyes 
Begging for you to listen to my whims and give me a good time 
Hit me, Hit me, and continue to dismiss me 
Kiss me, Kiss me until my lips bleed
I would do almost anything to get high off your energy 
I am a good girl in the daylight, 
so does my nighttime kick really count as a crime

Metaphorical Punches

Loser in Love Lyrics: 

You are a loser who doesn’t love me 
You said that there was nothing wrong with me
 and I hope that is true 
I made my tune match your song 
And savored your every word
Did it mean nothing to you, babe?

 So I have to inquire if it isn’t me, then who made you change your mind? 
Did your feelings really expire, so quickly, or was there another woman you had on the side?


You are a loser who doesn’t love me 
You said that there was nothing wrong with me
 and I hope that is true 
I made my tune match your song 
And savored your every word
Did it mean nothing to you, babe?

Or maybe you can’t admit to your own faults
Dirtying something so pure and pristine. 
Washed your dirty hands in her sink, leaving the drain clogged for me to clean 


You are a loser who doesn’t love me 
You said that there was nothing wrong with me
 and I finally believe that is true

Loser in Love

Lyrics 

They say that love is a double edge sword, 
but I just keep poking myself with a needle cause I am bored 

They say I keep letting men run in front of me
 but like a deer caught in headlights, I couldn't see them coming
 
They say I should wait 
for a Zamboni to clean the ice
 instead of shaving away the scratches 
with my own bare, cold hands
 but then again, I was taught to work hard for what I want 


What do I want? 
You ask? 
That would be a man

What do I want 
You ask? 
That would be a man

What do I want 
You ask? 
For you to be a man 


Not a boy, a wind-up toy, 
a man 


and all these months spent searching for souls 
has left me dull, blind, and cold 
Hypothermic in the soul 
I will be fine but it just leaving me with chills down my spine 

They say that love is a double edge sword, 
but I just keep poking myself with a needle cause I am bored 

They say I keep letting men run in front of me
 but like a deer caught in headlights, I couldn't see them coming

They say I should wait for a Zamboni to clean the ice
 instead of shaving away the scratches 
with my own bare, cold hands
 but then again, I was taught to work hard for what I want 

What do I want? 
You ask? 
That would be a man

What do I want 
You ask? 
That would be a man

What do I want 
You ask? 
For you to be a man

Cold Men

Lyrics: 

I throw my forget-me-nots in the trash 
You planted seeds of hesitancy that lie permanently
 in the back
 of my flower patch 


Just like the blue flowers in my hair 
I want to not be forgotten at all 
Yet the men keep picking my petals until they get to the last one 
He loves me, not 


Now I am wilting on the patterns of self-destruction 
I believe if I had sung a little harder, the blue bird would have 
flown past me 
Yet all I was asking was for you to be different from the guys who left me out of the blue 
But not you 


I throw my forget-me-nots in the trash 
You planted seeds of hesitancy that lie permanently in the back of my flower patch 

Just like the blue flowers in my hair 
I want to not be forgotten at all 
Yet the men keep picking my petals until they get to the last one 
He loves me not

Forget me Not

Lyrics 


Looking at my phone reminds me of the last time you texted 
That was last week 
In case you forgot to look at your messages, 
I sent you a smart one that used engineering language 
Yet I guess I wrote it 
just for fun because you read it and left it there to rot. 

So now you’re going to get the angry, bitter side of me 
The girl you swore you knew left the shed and took the key because there is no use building something  for someone who doesn’t see a future with me 
I can’t lever you to be the wheel to my axel 
Actually, I tried to wedge my screw into you, and it didn’t fit
Don’t show me an inclined plan blueprint 
if you just want a pulley 
for you to bully 
It’s a harsh reality to build anything 
with these simple machines 
Wheel, axel, wedge, screw, inclined plane, and pulley 


My question is, why even put in the effort if you knew it was going to be a pessimum 
You are studying to be a computer scientist but can’t guess and check much 
 To explain in a way you could understand, 
put the data into the spreadsheet to see if it’s positive or negative 
And if you did that and still made these decisions, then your are a heartless ai malfunction



So now you’re going to get the angry, bitter side of me 
The girl you swore you knew left the shed and took the key because there is no use building something  for someone who doesn’t see a future with me 
I can’t lever you to be the wheel to my axel 
Actually, I tried to wedge my screw into you, and it didn’t fit
Don’t show me an inclined plan blueprint 
if you just want a pulley 
 for you to bully 
It’s a harsh reality to build anything with these simple machines 
Wheel, axel, wedge, screw, inclined plane, and pulley 
You’re a simple machine 
Men are simple machines 
I’m a simple machine with complex wiring 
Wheel, axel, wedge, crew, inclined plane, and pulley 
Simple Machine

Simple Machine

Does music need to sound good or does just need to convey meaning?
