Cheap Heroin
So many teeth
So many eyes
The skin is on
Smile through my disguise
Skull drips through shoulders
Fists plane through wood
Butcher the blade
Pour & eek through my blood
(ch)
You're cheap heroin
Youre my medicine
Im drowning &
Its never deep enough
The walls are closing in
Pleasure dissolved in sin
Clawing through my veins
Youre cheap heroin
(bridge)
You poison my brain
You march & derange about me
You wither my bones
You deliver me droned
Beat, lie & cheat
Break the ice underneath
(ch)
You're cheap heroin
Youre my medicine
Im drowning &
Its never deep enough
The walls are closing in
Pleasure dissolved in sin
Clawing through my veins
Youre cheap heroin
So many teeth
So many bones
Sharpen your smile
& walk alone
Face drips through your teeth
Outside as empty as underneath
Binding your feet
Scaling the straits while you beat
(ch)
You're cheap heroin
Youre my medicine
Im drowning &
Its never deep enough
The walls are closing in
Pleasure dissolved in sin
Clawing through my veins
Youre cheap heroin
(alt chorus) [higher octive]
Youre cheap heroin
Keep drawing me back in
I cant drown
& i need to make it stop
Walls are closing in
Dont know where i begin
Clawing through my veins
Like cheap heroin

Tequila Mockingbird
Tequila Mockingbird
You run like bleach
Stripped into my bones
Im breathing acid
& choking on chrome
Ill alway follow
Ive been dumb on your lead
Just a plaything
Thrown away when you seethe
(chorus)
Tequila mockingbird
Down half a bottle & tell me what you need
Tequila mockingbird
Its not me. Its not me.
Tequila mockingbird
Down another bottle & tell me what you want
Tequila mockingbird
I want better. I need better than me.
Youre in my head
You mount the assault
Cant beat you out
Youre poison in my vault
Tearing off skin
Blood all over the floor
Broken spine
Still begging for more!
(bridge)
For all your skills,
You steel me in sulphur
Block all my calls
You like when i suffer
I make believe
i could be the one
You tug the noose & say
You used to be so much fuuuuuuun...
Thanks to you
my hearts still bleeding
Torn to ribbons
Still broken and beating
Im in half a mind to make you bleed
You blindly push until i seethe
Im just living in a golden lie
Lying in your truths - i dont want to believe.
You run like bleach

Lighter Karma
Lighter karma
Can i grab you by your
Solar plexus
I want to whisper to the deepest you
Where you dont tread
Fear is holding you
Telling you not to ask the cheap veneer
What is behind the door
Fear of nothing you cant answer
Youve lost your light
Handed out at dirty bars
On cheap cigarettes
Youve lost your light
But curl your fingers in
Find the lighter karma
I want to dive in
Seep around your solar plexus
Slink the rib ladder and
Beat into your heart
Find where its broken and sew up the cracks
Sew it can seam less painful
See how you decorate the walls and
Straighten the paintings
Blind
I was trapped in darkness
All i could see was your light
A fog of lies trapping me
Your heart was never in sight
You are the world but not for me
The shine has gone from your eyes
And i can't tell if you even see me
And what was truth and what was lies
Im sorry that i couldnt be the thing you needed
Im sorry but i cant be something more
Im not sorry but now i shine like a shiny star
Im sorry that with together we couldnt be what we are
Keep thinking of those early days - how amazing
So perfect - i put you up on a pedestal
You had me - from hello till they burn the stars
But i guess till then I'll hide in the scars
Bridge
And then your firey eyes faded out
I could see you but you cant see me
And i was without a light
Please see me. Please see me
But i didnt exist
Please see me, please see me
But now its over.
You are the world but not for me
The shine has gone from your eyes
And you dont even see me
And was it all the lie you said?
You are the world but not for me
The shine has gone from your eyes
And i can't tell if you even see me
Maybe we'll get it right in the next life.
Dirt
Every time it happens
Every. Time.
Pinched skin back behind my ears
And crack my chest
Rope drawn mess
Following my undercarriage
Hoping to pull me inside
Out again.
And creeping bones
Like my smile
Subside after a turn
When the universe is solid
But now it is all
Squirrelling guts and
Drunken moons
Pouring another snifter of swoon
Delightful haze that blinds me
Delightful as it my be
I would rather you leave me full than
Jangle my bones in the dirt again.
Repeat
I am already lost
Beyond lost
In something beautiful with you
And up flies the walls
Pulling closer
Flicks away -
Where are my manners?
Dont you know
I pulled down my cloak so
You dont have to jump in
Puddles
With me?
Who would forgive me
Trying to scale walls
All i want
Is
A glimpse of you
I lie there all the same, following
Streams of matter
I have watched it happen already
Moments locked in slides
Of the universe
Repeating for years
Waiting to be lived in flesh
Not viewed like paintings
Empty Overflow
Peer through
Youd never know that behind the paintings
Hangs the reality
Pouring out through
Swirling paint drips
Trying to lick the spit through the window
So you can smell it
Taste it
Recognise the same horse behind the mirror
And shaping like a moon
You settle into the warm golden glow of the night
Arked into its smile
Looks across the yard to see
The spewing mess that overtalks
Grooming your view
Assured behind duck bills the
Guts and whinneys of
The self despaired
The eight burns
And you are too busy
To notice
Full with nothing
Empty overflowing
Forgot to dig your toes well into the dirt
Such a hindrance.
Your bones are showing
But your soul is kept behind the shards.
Open space
From the center
I run out from the inside
Following the grey loop
To where he sits me
Bundled string
Knotted over lifetimes
Needing to untangle before the end
Can be found
Tuning in
Unravel the rabble
The white noise
Slowly turns to station
In the 8's
Settled in on an
Orange cloak
Adorned in hard work
And one does not see the point
Of wasting moments
So flicks them unphased
Again the maze winds
Speeding in yellow blues to
The open space, pink and green
Through rain soaked eyes
I see you.
And lifted back to
Steal a little taster
Twice but not as close
To drive away
Then sweet sweet lies
Down
More words escape with nothing
And washed inside by the season
The mirror is the same tone
Too far away.
Torrential it pours but inside the sunshine is solar.
Monster in a mohawk
Monster in a mohawk
Heres the damsel in distress
Youre holding on to that old white dress and
Pretending that theses something more to see but
Beyond your ego
Oh here we go
We slipped and now i missed it
You dont want me to go (Oh Oh!)
Pretending youre the nice guy
Im the nice guy - you piece of shit!
Pretending im the nice guy
Youre the monster in a mohawk.(x2)
Now time has drained and i remember
What it once was to be without your
Cruel ignorance
What a joke vying for your attention
I should be as embarrassed as you mentioned
And ignorant excuses
Fly from your lying gash
I was nothing but
You didn't bother to walk away
Without a few choice things to say
Dead rose
Dead roses in water
Curled in like petals
Kind of dreamy just unseemly
Clued in like thorns
Hanging off the wire
Ready to be clipped
You want to make it live
So you feed it but
Youve cut it at the post
Your dead rose in water
Watch as it drains the life out
Watch it fall away like
Cracked finger nails
Gouging at the locked door
Falling desperate to the floor
Once full of life
Now nothing to adore
And no matter how fresh it runs
It cant hold aloft the crystal glass
Like a straw into his delicate hands
Nourishing the beauty
You killed to keep
The face is drawn
Veins sludge like venom
Dry up and crumple
Crack and crush
With the wave of each new second
All your love counts for nothing
When you cut the cord
My beautiful love
A dead rose in water
Does not see the point.
Holding illusions
Hanging off the edge of the world
I wonder if
You would follow me
Should follow me
Find something new
So busy
holding onto the last branch you slipped on
Wondering about tattered clothing
Whether another fall would leave you
In quite the same position
The last fingers you touched
Let go of your hand
You are over being stranded
I suppose i am not a safe bet
Swinging from leaf to leaf
I take whatever route tickles my fancy
And leave on it such colors
You may not even know it
Was a leaf before now.
So here i hang
Off the edge of the world
Holding hands with an illusion
While you busily remember
Your fairytale monster
We arent hiring
Sorry
For a second i completely forgot who i was
Though
Just figuring out if it was then
Or if its now thats the delusion?
It always seems like the truth in the moment
Is so much clearer when
Youre living it.
And i remember such passion for it
Burning like the rope that
Juts from inside my chest
I thought i recognised the same rope pulling
I have such an imagination!
I let it run wild
Thinking every fate is this prophetic
Its so pathetic-
I fall for it every time
And forget the same source
Pulling with one hand and
Pushing with the other has
No idea what wall they should hang me up on, if at all.
Youre so pretty but
The content of your bones
Just isnt what the proprietor is looking for
We will keep you in mind.
In search of the fabled glittoris
In search of the fabled glittoris
Oh you fucking fabulous
Shiny soul dipped in
Glittered wonderland
Shining like a crazy diamond
Pretending like they know you exist
You dont care hidden behind the
Thin veneer of pink tape
Writing your own story
Like you read the book before
Bigger than big time
In search of someone
That sees more than just the
Fabled glittoris
They want to taste
Your mind too
They want to break your back
They need to know the inside
Scars and outside in
Not just a cherry bombadeer
To blow their mind
Oh you filthy wonderland
Slinky tongue wrapped around
To whet your appetite
Sliding like a crazy pirate
Pretending like you care they exist
