Wolf 03:52
lyrics
The pot calls the kettle black Marry me and I'll call you back The sex picked up the slack I was a living panic attack Too bipolar for the Prozac Too broken to finally crack Marry me, and I'll love you back I don't want to be me anymore The wolf came to my door I am guess work at best The tree fell with the nest Come inside, please be my guest The wolf in sheep's clothing confessed I'll watch as you undress I'll fuck you at your request I'd tell you the story, but you know the rest I don't want to be me anymore I was waiting at her back door

Criminal 04:29
lyrics
buy track
I saw you when you walked in. I want you I won't say it again. I was drunk, waiting for a sin; I lost touch with a grin. Lipstick smeared around my lips. When she undresses the look in my eye, When she kisses me there; it's not fair, thought she was shy, I'll show you how to fuck, how to lie. I'll be criminal, baby, if you'll be mine. Fall in love with my mistress tonight. Fall in love with the smile at daylight. Your body shakes at the sight. Come again for me, if you like. I'm in no hurry to make things right. When she undresses the look in my eye When she kisses me there; it's not fair, thought she was shy I'll show you how to fuck, how to lie I'll be criminal, baby, if you'll be mine

Lazarus 03:15
lyrics
buy track
Someone ghost-wrote my life I am a black cloud, a kitchen knife Lie down in a riptide tonight The oracle had it right; The blind man was given sight The allegory life-like The wave came at full height I am going down tonight The psychosis had it right Lazarus goes into the light I watched my mirror die The oysters marched inside The time has come, my friends; we tried The spectators sat and cried There's nothing I'd rewrite You're too dead to me to fight Lazarus heaves a sigh The forbidden word: goodbye

Seeing Red 02:44
lyrics
buy track
I've got a head on my shoulders today I've got knees and toes and a blade Is that the phrase? I've got bloody knuckles to your face I've got the predator in a cage And voices in my head, I'm afraid Years worth of rage I said to not come out and play When they said follow your dreams They weren't talking about me My life was plan B My life was a plea My life under siege I drown when I'm asleep Who am I now that you've gone too deep? I never wanted the upkeep Who am I now that you're so sweet? Lost in the street Lost to the grief I've got a head on my shoulders still I think

Blindness 04:04
lyrics
buy track
I am too full of dopamine I am chaos at the mobscene My hands were tied, not clean I am the recovering queen; The half-awake dream Fuck you, but you'd fuck me Turn a blind eye when blind follows blind I jumped off a bridge and claimed I was fine I'm at your door tonight, do you mind? When do you want me to cross the line? She slips into the dress I like Where am I taking you down tonight? You're beautiful; I've lost sight I'm already in love, but I've gone on strike The liar must be your type You can hardly keep upright Turn a blind eye when blind follows blind I jumped off a bridge and claimed I was fine I'm at your door tonight, do you mind? When do you want me to cross the line? Will you give it up for me if I say please? The whore turned out to be a tease Closer contact spreads the disease They caught me on my hands and knees I'd like to return her ring and keys I'd like to return her ring and keys

Helene 05:00
lyrics
buy track
You're different; you see inside Maybe you'll read into the way I lied I left my soul at the bedside The sex was suicide I took you home 'cause I couldn't take your eyes You're the kind of girl I know who cries About the self she cannot recognize I am the girl who knows how she dies You don't like your body, then give it to me I'm loving you 'til you let yourself be What's my sign? How much can you see? I gave you my hand and the heart on my sleeve Helene, Helene I took you home 'cause I couldn't take your eyes You're the kind of girl I know who cries About the self she cannot recognize I am the girl who knows how she dies I gave you my hand and the heart on my sleeve Helene, Helene

Rule of Three 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I found you lost and made you mine I cut you off and said it was fine You caught me at a bad time Over the moon, I had to climb Is happiness such a crime? Keep the change if it's on a dime I was thinking what if drinking wasn't me? The apple does't fall too far from the tree I want to keep you, but they can't see You're wearing my clothes that I don't need I'm wearing a face that would only mislead Why is the grass no longer green? I say thing I shouldn't mean Washed in the blood of the greed But the blood on my hands won't wash clean I'm in love with you, please don't leave I was thinking what if drinking wasn't me? The apple does't fall too far from the tree I want to keep you, but they can't see You can't be here, but I've left you a seat I'm breaking your heart while you watch me grieve I've seen things you wouldn't believe The rule book gone; the rule of three I'm giving away what isn't free I'm giving away what isn't free

Mephistopheles 03:56
lyrics
buy track
The difference is melanin and sadness for other things She doesn't answer the phone when it rings Do you even want to be with me? Am I not the lover you thought I would be? Another nail went in the coffin I see After 100 white lies, one finally exceeds If we're going to do this, you've got to concede The whore gets on her knees The liar on the trapeze The submissive says please The forest through the trees God died because he became too small God-fearing is still the protocol Who are you fucking whenever I call? Who are you taking down when you fall? Mephistopheles broke the 4th wall The getaway car begins to stall It just isn't going to work is all The whore gets on her knees The liar on the trapeze The submissive says please The forest through the trees

Erasure 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Sleeping by the glow of the screen Close your mind and turn on the machine What does information even mean? When there's too much of it to believe I am the erasure; it is my reprieve Chattering fingers like chattering teeth Systems must end so they don't repeat Blind leading blind; words obsolete I am crying aloud so I don't seethe Something died or was lost at sea Up for down; we couldn't agree This is the price of the land of the free

Siren 03:50
lyrics
buy track
The night is young like her eyes I'm falling forward in my mind I'm paralyzed in my sleep Telling tales from the deep Underwater counting sheep With a sailor's mouth I sink Alone, running down the street 3 a.m., no one to meet Who will follow me home tonight? There's a past I know that might You are too young to know I'm right The dawn just out of sight I'm weighed down by the touch Who am I without the lust? I grow old, but I don't go free Something calls from beneath the see A girl, the sirens sing I am weighed down by the dream A storm overtakes the fleet I open my mouth to scream Who will follow me home tonight? There's a past I know that might You are too young to know I'm right The dawn just out of sight

Sunbeam 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Springtime flowers in your hair The tree in the garden goes bare I couldn't find any clothes to wear The forbidden smile, the timid stare Love was lost when I cut her hair I was beyond repair I love her, but I've kept a spare Sunbeam, it's spring, beware The garden wasn't made to keep us there I'm eaten alive by the Eden eyes So pure, she clung to my disguise A temptress if you'd recognize A fool you'd be to agonize How do I taste when you're alive? How do I look when you're so blind? How are we going to survive? Sunbeam, it's spring, beware The garden wasn't made to keep us there Sunbeam, it's spring, beware Give me all the love that you can spare

Rehab 03:47
lyrics
buy track
I don't have an emergency contact anymore Straight jacket, recovery, fell through the trapdoor Three steps forward, two feet out the door The countdown goes from 3 to 4 Working 9 to 5, the rest on the floor I am dying to know if they have even kept score I am screaming about drowning on shore I am dreaming about drinking like before You can't keep me down at the core I don't want to be fine; I want to be more I want to be high to make up for the storm Stopped taking my meds 'cause I know what they're for (I want to be high to make up for the storm Stopped taking my meds 'cause I know what they're for)

Ringer 03:22
lyrics
buy track
I was merciful in another life I was at home in bed at night I didn't bring a gun, I brought a knife Wasn't a ringer in a fight Now what's true isn't right I'm waking up in spite I'm breaking apart my life What else can I do with a knife? Or a wrath or a bed or a wife? I sold my soul at a price Yours was just part of a heist I'm taking her home tonight I'm making her mine in spite I figured out what to do with a knife Put it square in the back of the strife Square through the dark of my life I brought a gun and it felt right (I was a ringer in a fight)

about

This is the origin story of Little Red. The Wolf comes to her door; he represents the bad that we hold within ourselves. This overtakes her. At the end, she finally stops bringing a knife to a gun fight and starts playing dirty because that’s what you have to do to win.
