Lyrics:

Reincarnate me
Pick the colors, the canvas
Hide the answers
Beneath metallic stain
Coat my spirit, crack my brain

Encapsulate me
I’m you’re refuge
Then your rescue
Do what you do
Projecting all your pain
I’ll be mopping up the shame 

Soak me gently
Rinse the parts I’d like to keep
Hesitant
You tempt me with another treat
Hyping up Heaven, steal my time

Go on, parade me
This fine work you’ve painted
Hang it up now, for all of them to see
No, this was never about me 
But I’m the one on my knees
You narcissistic motherfucker 
How many prints did you make out of me?
While I was suffering 

Once you told me
“No one wants to hear you sing”
Tell your jokes
Why not laugh at my worst memories
Thought I found Heaven
Lost my mind

With pillow talks and salty lips while you 
hunt for someone new
Cause I’ll be nebuchadnezzar 
by the time that you get through

Gaslit - unmastered

P.S. shockingly, this song is not about kinky sex. 

Lyrics:
But I'm stuck inside my head
Close my eyes
All I see is red
Can we please play pretend?
Take another breath and tell me that there's nothing on the other side
But I'm stuck inside my head
Close my eyes
Rip me from my bed
Over and over again
Begging to be freed but I am hiding, won't you bring me to the light?

Oh no, not there
Not gonna go there
Oh no, not there
Not gonna go

I thought we were having fun
Don't you want another one love?
Can't you hear the sirens
Keeping me up
Wailing to the heavens above
Yeah, there's nothing to be scared about
Nothin to be scared about love

Oh no, not there
Not gonna go there
Oh no, not there
Not gonna go

Are they coming for you?

One more time get inside the big white box truck
One more time another ride love
Ready for another round of fucking me up
Ready for a good old time love
There's nothing to be scared about
Just buckle up
Buckle up, buckle up, love
Yeah, there's nothing to be scared about love
Nothing to be scared about love
Love, love, love

Handcuffs - Live At Rockwood Music Hall 4.7.22

Take me back, I want that ice cream
Spill my guts, expect the same from you 
Instead, I’ll be, locked in how you looked at me
21st Street and Purgatory

Wonder could this be the one?
Stop the 7, f*ck that job
I’m running, would you be coming home to me? (Home to me)

Mysteries, Monopolies
All the words you said to me
Keep running
But I’ll be damned
To eternity of what could be
If I only took that chance

No way you know
Cause I keep my cards in the basement of my heart in a neat little box
I’d love to show them to you, but I won’t take that cost 
No way you know, it’s not a show 
Who am I? Who are you?!
Ready, set, go

Way too fast, come undone, how much did you risk, my love?
I’m running
Pull me back, skin and bones, chemicals, fire clones
You’re running
Get out of my mirror

All the words you said to me
Keep running
But I’ll be damned
To eternity of what could be
If I only took that chance

MONOPOLIES

Follow thee to the end 
I can get you going 
Put on that sport coat 
Sly that grin
La la la la 
Make the bed, with my best friend 
Raked the leaves, let’s start a garden
How’s it feel, knowing?
Lalalala

I don’t need to want you more but oh, I do 

Right now, we’re behaving
But surely, you can see me baking
Speak to me without ever saying 
La la la la 
La la la la 
Kindling from kinetic buzzin
Kindred isotopes
Bound by devotion
No friction
Only motion 
La la la la 

I don’t need to want you more, but oh I do 
I don’t need to want you more, but oh I do 
I don’t need to want you more, but oh I do 
I don’t need to want you more, but oh I do 

Eyes wide, a prison to mine
Lock in the moment, remember this time
Bending
Don’t second guess 
When you’re breaking that fancy white dress
Eyes wide, a prison to mine
Lock in the moment, keep it in time 
Bending 
Don’t mind the mess
When you’re breaking that fancy white dress
When you’re breaking that fancy white dress
When you’re breaking that fancy white dress
