(updated lyrics, may not match the demo lyrics!)

Well I’ve been around the word a thousand times I’ve walked these lines
and I’m sure I’ll be back a few more times
and i’ve been around the world a thousand times
okay i lied
but i’m sure that it isn’t the last time

but maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll spend forever by my side
and maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll make me wish i changed my mind
as i turn around and walk away this time

and i say
hello it is not me you’re looking for
so i’m gone
you won’t find me here no more
and surprise surprise it’s not my eyes you’re looking to
to see your soul
i won’t come around here no more

well i’ve been around sometimes and maybe twice i’ve been some more
every time, every broken lie i swore
and i’ve been between the times, behind the lines, and i’ve been more
always this time
i won’t next time 
anymore

but maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll wanna place your hand in mine
and maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll wanna waste all of your time
yeah, you’ll be wasted
and i’ll lose my place in line

and i say
hello it is not me you’re looking for
so i’m gone
you won’t find me here no more
and surprise surprise it’s not my eyes you’re looking to
to see your soul
i won’t come around here no more

oh, well i’ve been here before

I AM SORRY FOR THE QUALITY OF THIS I WILL RE RECORD IT 😭

originally by Peter Gabriel
covered by The Magnetic Fields
covered by me

The Book of Love (cover ²)

It builds inside my blood, this emptiness
and it breaks my bones, when it pulls
i can't sleep without it next to me
i can't sleep without the rest of me

and i feel it's time to go, but i can't leave without that cut
and i feel it's time to leave, but i can't breathe, it's in my lungs

so bleed my heart, relieve some pressure, it'd be better if you tried
then bleed my soul, take what's left, but it'd be better if you lied

i feel it in my head, the rush of it
and i feel it in my skin, it runs too deep within
i can't sleep without it next to me
i can't sleep without you next to me

and i feel it's time to go, but i can't leave without that cut
and i feel it's time to leave, but i can't scream, it's in my lungs

so bleed my heart, relieve some pressure, it'd be better if you tried
then bleed my soul, take what's left, but it'd be better if you lied

and i feel it in my hands, how much it takes from me
and i feel it in my chest, of what awaits for me

so bleed my heart, relieve some pressure, it'd be better if you tried
then bleed my soul, take what's left, but it'd be better if you lie

Humors

quality is bad, oh well! 

originally by Graham Smith 

The Heat (cover)

take back your records
i'm moving out west
need to fill up this hole in my chest
take back the pictures you left in my head
in my bed
but no copies to hold in my hands

as my memory alters the state of what was
and what is
but honestly i'd rather forget
when my height fell too short
now you make me feel small
all I'm left with are stories to tell

take back the skin that you left in my clothes
cause i don't want no body to know
take back the song that you sang in your sleep
cause i don't think that you even know what it means

and your heart is a piston
i'm pulleys and weights
you're an engine and
i'm easily moved by your hands
but i ran this machine
for you
my dearest friend
in the end i'll be with you in dreams

take back your records i'm moving out west
i was wrong
i was you all along

what's a lonely werewolf to do?
i'm all alone howlin' at the moon
what's a lonely mummy to do?
who can tie my bandages up tight when they get loose?
i'm all alone in this crypt built for two

i've got nobody who'd wanna hold me
and that might be the scariest thing
this bag of bones is so alone
and i have got no one this hallow's eve

what's a lonely vampire to do?
i guess i'll get my type o negative from someone new
what's a lonely ghost like me to do?
everyone i love only sees right through
and i just can't stand being invisible to you

i've got no body for you to hold me
and that might be the scariest thing
this old white sheet feels so incomplete
and i have got no one this hallow's eve

what's a lonely ghoul like me to do?
i'm just in pieces falling apart without you
and what's this monster supposed to do?
i just keep hurting everyone i get close to
i'm just afraid to be alone

i've got nobody, no one to hold me
and that might be the scariest thing 
and you don't want me, but oh how you haunt me
'cause i have got no one this hallow's eve
no i am all alone this hallow's eve
but you could be the one for me this halloween

Being Alone is Scary (collab. North American Pharaohs)

DISCLAIMER: This is a joke, calm down Sandra.

I'm really sick and I don't do songwriter stuff anymore but this was too good to pass up.

I'm staring out the window looking directly
at the Jehovah's witness looking back at me
and we both know
this door ain't gonna open

Now I don't really care what you gotta say
about God and the devil, how I gotta pray
no I don't care
the only thing I'm hoping

Is that you take me off your call list
take me offline
it means more to my salvation if you walk on by
there's a reason why I locked the door and drew the blinds
but I can tell that you're not leaving by the look in your eye, no

I don't really care what you got to sell
but you got some damn persistence mama I can tell
but to be completely honest I'd rather go to hell
than to have you here Sunday morning
ringing my bell

Ringing my bell (satire)

LYRICS:

Well I’ve been around the word a thousand times I’ve walked these lines
and I’m sure I’ll be back a few more times
and i’ve been around the world a thousand times
okay i lied
but i’m sure that it isn’t the last time

but maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll spend forever by my side
and maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll make me wish i changed my mind
as i turn around and walk away this time

(CHORUS}
and i say
hello it is not me you’re looking for
so i’m gone
you won’t find me here no more
and surprise surprise it’s not my eyes you’re looking to
to see your soul
i won’t come around here no more

well i’ve been around sometimes and maybe twice i’ve been some more
every time, every broken lie i swore
and i’ve been between the times, behind the lines, and i’ve been more
always this time
i won’t next time 
anymore

but maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll wanna place your hand in mine
and maybe i am wrong and you really are the one
who’ll wanna waste all of your time
yeah, you’ll be wasted
and i’ll lose my place in line

(CHORUS)

oh, well i’ve been here before
but never this close to that door
i’m always begging to be let in
my feet are bare my fists are sore
i won’t go wandering no more
don’t wanna lose any more skin

and maybe you’re the one who’s knocking
or my sin

and i say
hello it is not me you’re looking for
already gone
but you found me here once more
and surprise surprise i see my eyes in yours
i see down to my soul
and i won’t break you anymore

goodbye goodbye to all the lives i’ve said
the lies i’ve led
and no, i’m not leaving anymore

Things will be okay

Sometimes I wonder if you really think of me. You spend so much time in your own head I wonder if there is any room up there for some one like me, with all my insecurities. I’d spend all day inside your brain if you would let me.

Sometimes I wonder what you’re thinking when you laugh right out of nowhere - no relation to the present situation - and it’s usually a joke you have between you and yourself and no one else quite understands but I am trying.

Sometimes I wonder who we are. Sometimes I wonder just how far you want to take me down this path that we are making. And sometimes I wonder about not a thing at all; and other times I find myself trying my hardest to recall.

---

Sometimes I wonder if we’d be friends if we met when we were kids, both aging much more rapidly than all our friends. And by the time we grew up, crookedly, would you be sick and tired of me? We’d see the time each other started dying.

Sometimes I wonder what you dream when you’re asleep or if you have a fantasy world like I do but that’s my secret. And I wonder if someday you’ll store all your secrets inside me and I’ll hide them from this dark, depressing, dream ingesting world.

Sometimes I wonder what we are. Right now I wonder if my car will make it to your house when it and I am shaking. Sometimes I wonder if someday I’ll be driving to our house; finally a place where we can maybe try to get some sleep.

---

Sometimes I wonder if you worry ‘bout things you say ‘round me. Do you feel stupid, do you feel crazy, do you think that you might scare me? Do I steal your breath away with each kiss like you do to me? Or am I mystifying, romanticizing this time?

Sometimes I wonder what you do when I’m not there or you’re not here, because you’re interesting, and I worry because I care. Sometimes I wonder ‘bout the spaces in-between your fingers where your soul begins and this world ends and I know my lips have been.

Sometimes I wonder if we are. Sometimes I’m really fucking far away and I can’t say the meanings I am thinking. And sometimes you need your space and sometimes I need my space, too. We like alone but alone’s better when I’m with you.


Sometimes I’m scared half to death. Just want to rest my spinning head upon your chest and listen softly to the rhythm and I hope you know I’m hopeful that things will be okay someday I hope you know that I mean every word I say.


Things Will Be Okay (iphone demo)(explicit)

My friend you are every shade of blue I’ve ever seen and every hue
My friend you are every pantone every pantomime I’ve ever been
And I know you’re confused, you’re feeling useless, your mind’s a mess


And you think you’re crazy, you think no one could understand
But come on baby, you know it’s all inside your head
And you know there’s flowers growing in your teeth
And you know I only tried to help you see


My friend you are every book I’ve read and every song stuck in my head
My friend you are everything that’s right and all that’s left when all goes wrong
And I know it’s no use, you’re free to choose this, you’re free to lose this, against my fist


And it drives you crazy, but I only tried to understand
But come on baby, you know I never got the chance
And you know there’s flowers growing in your teeth
You cut them out and tied a ribbon ‘round them, placed between my sheets
Into my eyes they grew and then you took them from me

And i know you are
And i know who you are

And you think I’m crazy, but i think you know i understand
So come on baby, i’m tired of holding out my hands
And you know there’s flowers growing in our teeth
We’ll open up our mouths and let the vines fall down around our feet
And the garden in our bodies covers every inch between us
In my eyes it grew and you can’t take that from me

I can't sleep at night, you know I never have
Can't even dream no more, spend all day inside my head
And I won't try again, I won't
Try to find myself, I won't
Try to hide from this, I won't close my eyes

I can't lie you know, the devil lives in me
Takes up all my time, he likes my company
And I won't cry again, I won't
Try to find my way, I won't
Try to be okay, I won't open my eyes

And I can't smile no more, my lips deceive my mind
I'm not a child no more, I'm aging all the time
And I won't trust again, I won't
Try to be someone, I won't
Try to please anyone, I won't dry your eyes

I can't stand the morning, kills me more each day
I'm so detached now from this unbearable pain
And I won't love again, I won't
Try to breathe in, I won't
Try to believe in, I won't dot my i's
----

I can't sleep at night, you know I never have
Can't even dream no more, spend all day inside this head
And I won't try again, I won't
Try to find myself, I won't
Try to hide from this, I won't close my eyes

Twinly is a singer-songwriter living in the East Bay, but she's a vagabond at heart.  She tells stories with her music, drawing upon her darkest feelings and strangest encounters, both of which she has many.  Her music is influenced by a mix of her bluegrass fiddling roots, iconic female singer-songwriters, and weird 90s indie rock.  Her soundcloud is a work in progress.  She owns 50 pairs of halloween socks.
