Not another sad song...

I still love you
The radio plays the same song
I read up on advice
If I know it, then it’s over

You found nothing
In your rituals
I was hoping
For something bigger

I wonder
The sun dies 
In the summer 

You praise 
Black magic
To wake your lover
 From six feet under

Make your sacrifice
To save just what we have

Voodoo by Lena Vernon

I get smaller
When you
Fill me

I fit 
With you
Like a knife
In you

Two motherfuckers
Made for each other

Ask me to dance,
Motherfucker 
It's your last chance

Introductions by Lena Vernon

And I'll wear black
Fall asleep flat on my back
If I get you back
Chase them out of town
With chasers pouring in my mouth
I won't be a fraud

Pull out your gun
Fake smile, I carry what 
I carry

There's a ghost of your shape
In my bed
And he haunts savagely
In my head

And I'll strip my skin
Commit ninety sins
If it means you win
Chase them out of town
Without making a sound
It'll always be around

Pull out your gun
Fake blood, I carry what
I carry


Head by Lena Vernon

MOOD.

In Belfast, she drives fast
Can you catch her while you can?
Revise all your lies
Don't you catch her by surprise
Thump, thump
That's her heart
Avant-garde, state of the art
Close her when you're done
And give her back her tommy gun

In Dublin, he's a ten
Can he be your ladies' man?
Kingdom, can you rise?
Don't you leave him here tonight
Boom, boom
Take him now,
He's got the love plow, he's made a vow
Catch him when he's done 
And give him back his tommy gun

Taking this time to thank my loyal followers! I started this solo project in June 2011. I was sad, confused, and the only way to express myself was through writing the collection of songs I've written under the name Selena Vernon. I'm at a different place in my life right now, and I believe it's time to move on. This is the last song in my Selena Vernon project. Thank you so much for the endless support, it has pushed me to keep writing, to keep falling in love with music :)Thank you for listening to a teenage girl's diary. Expect more music from me! But the new tracks will be coming from a different place, a different perspective and it will have a different energy. Please download this track! Love you all <3

Lyrics:
The girls know wassup, 
What makes me cry my eyes out,
How you hit the spot like a champion.
Sometimes I wonder where you’re at
When you’re zoning out
What’s playing in your mind like
A movie now?

The girls know wassup 
Your boys smoke a lot (The girls know wassup)
Your boys smoke a lot (The girls know wassup)
Your boys smoke a lot (The girls know wassup)
Your boys smoke a lot
Sometimes I wonder where you’re at
Your boys smoke a lot (Sometimes I wonder where you’re at)
Your boys smoke a lot (Sometimes I wonder where you’re at)
Your boys smoke a lot (Sometimes I wonder where you’re at)
Your boys smoke a lot

I’ll fake it till it lasts,
I’ll fake it till I get it right,
But I’m tired of all the lying 
Inside my mouth
Sometimes I wonder ‘long it’s been,
Since you stared at us
Without eyes made of glass 
And you let me in

Your boys smoke a lot (And I stare in awe)
They stop the truck and chase 
Tail right around the block (Did I get so high…)
Your boys smoke a lot (And I stare in awe)
They stop the truck and chase (Did I get so high…)
Tail right around the block (I believed every word, I believed every lie)

Your boys smoke a lot
They stop the truck and chase
Tail right around the block,
While I stare in awe
Sometimes I wonder what’s the thrill
In getting lit when your egos are high enough
They touch the clouds? (I believed every lie)


Your Boys Smoke A Lot

Thing I turned in for my songwriting class. 

Verse 1
Boy you’re sick as fuck
And cannot get enough of 
Your body’s constellations
Take concentration to explore
I am a little slow
I don’t have a telescope
I think I’ve cracked the code
With your hands inside my coat 
 
Pre-Chorus
Supernova eyes undressing me
You can come inside, make me feel real
I can keep the lights on for you
 
Chorus 2
I can keep the lights on for you
While you trip
I can keep the lights on for you
Off the grid
I can keep the lights on 
Like you keep me in your pocket 
I will follow you, Northern Star
You’re my prophet
You’re far out
 
Verse 2
Boy, you’re in retrograde
Our backs’re for lying on mistakes we made
You killed my heart in the backseat
Made me clean up the crime scene
You bought my soul but you trashed the receipt
Filled me up so I'd be empty
I'm black and purple like galaxies
You smoked a blunt and left in peace
 
Chorus 2
Will you keep the lights on for me
While you drive?
Will you keep the lights on for me
As the blood dries?
Will you keep the lights on like I did for you 


Cause I will keep the lights on for you
When we tear
I will keep the lights on for you 
It's unfair 
I will keep the lights on 
Like you kept in the darkness
Begging for you
In a space so endless
You’re far out
But you're far out 

Bridge
I wish I was new to you
Us half lit, naked 
If they could see the things we do 
The way we touched it did
Warm up the sun 
Oh just enough for us to burn
We shared our tongues 
Can't we share a universe 

Chorus 3
Who will keep the lights on for you 

Boy you're so good
You'd go to go to hell
heaven's sake if you could
Shouldn't win but you could

When all of your stars died for you

You're a dying breed 
Your fingers burn holes into myself jeans
Shouldn't win but you did
When all of your stars died for you

Far Out

Loving you is like
Swimming with a broken spinal cord
Loving you is like
Waltzing with a demon in a church

My heart is black and blue 
Before it's red for you
If I were you, I would do it, too
I would do it to me, too

Loving you is like
Lighting a lighter that is soaked
Fucking you is like
Watching television when it's off

My heart is black and blue 
Before it's red for you
If I were you, I would do it, too
I would do it to me, too


releasing my old demos...weird lol 
these aren't that good but I'll post some more when I find them in my computer.

Please let me take the T-Bird to town
Cobwebs have made home in the engines now
And poking me in bed are dreams of speeding down 
Two palms hug the wheel, I'd win a Triple Crown

I know last time I locked the keys in the trunk
The spirits they trick me when they leave the cup
To you my sorry tastes foul, but don't you give up
I swallow it every day, guilt's after taste on my tongue

And you can check me with a black light
My head is cured of all the parasites
My demons are whispers gagged by god's thunder 
I'm as vanilla as it gets without my liquid abductors

And I'll be home before our show comes on
I'll be driving up in time to 
Watch the sprinklers water the lawn
Nothing will go wrong 
I heard it in a song

6 it is I swear on my virtue 
I'm not angry, Cinderella had a curfew
Fitz is not a threat, just back from Berkeley 
With a communist reader and a craving for
Coffee with me
And it's a treat
You were young once, your wrinkles are fossils
Of smiles from youth and laughing at life's bloopers

And I'll be home before our show comes on
And I'm driving up in time to 
Watch the sprinklers water the lawn
The neighborhood is quiet 
And something isn't right

Said please officer let me get off tonight
I'm expected at home and my deadline is drying 
I haven't had whiskey, check with a black light
There's no bone in my body that's able to lie
But the hate in his eyes 
Is fear in disguise 
And my life is not justified

I've never seen a beretta smile
I've never felt a beretta's kiss 
So close to my face
As close as a race
As close as my house 'round the corner
As close as I was to a future


Blacklight

releasing my old demos...weird lol 
these aren't that good but I'll post some more when I find them in my computer.

i wait cause i know
every sentence has a period
when will you put yours?
how long does it take for 
a mind to rot inside a cage?
i know you've been counting down
the days, just go

don't let me waste away in death row
let me go

you look just the part
warden without a heart
go get your firing squad
cause i prefer to take a shot
i won't feel it anyway
i won't feel you take the pain
you put in me all of these days
in death row

death row 
let me go

have mercy on me
set me free or break me

Death Row

I won't cave
So come on in, I won't cave
She's miles away
So far away, I know it weighs

I won't cave 
So come on in, I won't cave
I'll learn your name
Say it again inside my veins

I won't cave
So come inside, you'll feel alive
Your scars are hers
As rough as her
But you are mine

I know it hurts
I know it hurts but that was her

you can wear me
I'm made for it, you can wear me
I would kill to be the thread in your shirt
To hang on you like I do on every word you say
And everything I do, I do it for you
Search/rescue crew
I do it for you

I Do It For You (with Echavox)

Dare you to forget 
Wet leather seats
Chasing meaning in 
The way your eyes
Dry like the way you sigh

And I find myself wishing 
That they'll fossilize
Fucking up and fucking you
Are on the same side
Of the same moon 

And the same tide
Washes me to you

How refined
How you hide
And I wade

I know how much you like
To keep in touch 
To touch me collarbone and down
Like it's something that you've never done

You're the farthest and 
The closest thing to what I want

And I find myself wishing that 
I'd close my eyes
But you're the phase and face
Keeping me at night

Washing me to you 
(How refined
How you hide
And I wade)

2D Joy

Wet Leather

Kiss him in fire
Go past midnight
Drive with eyes closed
In the snow,
I buried everything I know

The desert's inviting
Caresses my throat
Asks can he come in
To take me to heaven

Dice "Quiero metertela."
I wanna live simply

My better half
You sleep unharmed
You sleep unarmed
You wait for me 
To water you
To dry you out
I never come

Nopal

She said the same things I love you for now
Are gonna be the same things 
I hate you for in the end

I'm so, so good at
Shooting deer 
In the dark

Cause I'm 'fraid of
Doe eyes
I'll pay the price

I'm so precise
I never miss my mark

I'll do it fast
So quickly it won't hurt me

It'll hurt you briefly

Deer Shot in the Dark

Broke niggas discouraged
Rich niggas just spend it on drugs
Don’t want habits I can’t quit
And I’m immune to the sickness
No I don’t catch no feelings
Won’t fall for a young nigga’s tricks 
Be some broke nigga’s bitch
But Imma support these local fuckboys
Cuz they only good at search and destroy
You hoes wanna roll up and roll one
Thinking I owe you one 
Don’t belong to you
Don’t belong to no one 
Well, I belong to someone
That’s me, son
Why can’t you see?
There is no we
There’s only me 
Me over you
Me over you, nigga

You still call me up
You still on them drugs
You still call me 
You still call me up
You still on the drugs
You still wake me up, talkin on that buzz
You still have my heart

If you lost in the wood can’t find you
If you lost in the snow won’t have to
I’ve been grinding, chasin commas don’t need you
Boy you’re so lit, you’re so gone that you’re see through

You still call me up
You still on them drugs
You still call me 
You still call me up
Still on the drugs
You still call me
You still wake me up, talkin on that buzz
You still have my heart

Still (Prod. by HRTLS)

Lyric Video: https://vimeo.com/198521914

I still own you
A forty holds your hand while you’re singing to me
You’re losing your friends cause you’re meeting these women
And losing all religion

Did you stop to smile at the strangers?
Need I remind in rare cases
They really wanna about your day?
I’m too busy for those details
But I’ll ask about my cake

Teach me how hold you right
Teach me how to spend the night
Teach me how to hold you right

And I’ll be home by nine

Nine

u trynna quit after smoking this last one?
i'm just trynna have my body read ur palm

don't ask me bout priorities, cuz they're fucked
ask me bout last night, i was fucked up

yea i been fucked up since i lost my pride
like me impolite and i like it rough
i like it when they let me bite

if ur cool with that, u can hold my hand
if ur cool with that, then we're cool like that

let me bite, let me fight
let me take what's mine 
i've got an appetite
let me bite, let me fight
let me take all of ur time

higher place, higher doubt
wanna leave early but there's 
no way out, just inside

if ur cool with that, u can hold my hand
if ur cool with that, then we're cool like that

Bite

Crave You (Cover)

A cover of Iron and Wine's Fever Dream. Instrumental by Finder's Keepers. 

Fever Dream (Cover)

And I'm not surprised
Conversations aside
I've called you Frankenstein
I slipped out my mind
My rubber tongue aches to say your name
But my lips are afraid it won't feel the same

It's not the typical
The same thing we fought for
Our lives are ribbons of war
But mine is torn by yours

No need to come out tonight
Bloody knuckles look back and smile
Listen, I've made
Good girls don't die the same way 

It's not the typical
The same thing we fought for
Our lives are ribbons of war
But mine is torn by yours
