I hate genre
My mantra
Is contra
Como se llama?
No manana
Double edged katana
Entandre
Come again
Like Nirvana
What do you want me to make
To fake
For fuck’s sake
Did the ground not already quake
You move I’ll shake
Burlesque song takes the cake
BDFM jars you awake
What’s at stake
Don’t have enemies like drake
I am the enemy, a promise I won’t break
I am no escape
Tape
Open your eyelids, kids I leave your mouths agape
You kneel don’t heal, scrape
You stay tiny keep shiny almighty in shipshape
I’m bored and don’t keep the faith
Why don’t you wait
At the gate
You’re already late
To the party called fate
I make it, keep it straight
Only shakers know great
(Meow Reedwide)
¿Cómo se llama?
Envidia es lo que yo le llamo
I don’t know a wall
I break down, you break a fall
Ceilings were made for the itty bitty small
You know down the hall
You stand down not tall
I lost it all
To be glad I never made that call
Because I learned how to brawl
BDFM makes me sick
You have too many boots to lick
Saviors to click
I smack on dark lipstick
And know what does the trick
Hear the sound of my tick
I’ll make this quick
I have my pick
You’ve been no brick
They lay it on you thick
With the stupid stick
(Meow Reedwide)
¿Cómo se llama?
If you want to go big, you've got to think big too
Remember my name
It doesn’t sound the same
As beat you tame
I’ll live forever in what they defame
Because I won’t play their game
I have 40 albums that put you to shame
I like what I became
I broke the frame
Your picture of me went up in the flame
I am insane
I am the bane
Give me the blame
I’ll give it to you plain, Jane
My hatred sits in a gas main
I cannot contain
The butane that runs through every vein
What’s left or right of your brain
My music is not lidocaine
I didn’t come to entertain
Laugh all you want, you were the weakest link in my chain
I have no genre because I have no lane
I’m a wildfire you can’t contain
I have no genre because there’s no right like rain
There’s no scale to pain
No reason to remain
(Meow Reedwide)
If you want to go big, you've got to think big too
If you still don't get it, let me translate it for you
A mi me sigue valiendo madre tu opinión
A mi me vale lo que pienses de mi
*house burns down*

Princess Liar
02:34
|
|||
Tell me who I am
Does the mirror understand
Awaken the wasteland
Dug a hole by hand
Heart black like a cataract
Stare back, lights attract
Kill the Queen, suicide pact
Saying take that back
She said she said
How far is too far
When you don’t know who you are
I wear a broken crown
Jill pushed Jack down
Sticks, stones, lost not found
Words don’t hurt, they drown
|

She was
She was here last night
You ain’t fuck her right
Out of my mind out of sight
She comes
She comes when you fight
We fuck out of spite
Out of your league out tonight
Girl make me numb
Make me numb
Cause you hold me like a gun
She loves
She loves
When I call
Want to risk it all?
Out of the dark out of the fall
She runs
She runs
From what she needs
The lover misleads
Out of my mind down on my knees
Girl make me numb
Make me numb
Cause you hold me like a gun

Friend Zone
02:51
|
|||
I don’t know what a heart emoji means
What goes on behind the scenes
I’m busted open like dreams
I love to smithereens
Life moves on it seems
She takes life to extremes
I’m in a kitchen wearing jeans
She finds and dish and cleans
People live for silver screens
For kings to queens
I love beyond my means
I drown in washing machines
We’re on different teams
Different routines
I want to ask please
Is there a steering wheel to squeeze
Birds to bees
Ground to knees
There is never ease
Just tease
What if she sees
We’re in a forest for the trees
I’ve given away too many keys
They appease
I walk a trapeze
What do you want
You know you haunt
Me with how nonchalant
With how you prompt
Me to stop
Won’t let me be on top
I hear a pin drop
I was used and abused as a prop
I had an old soul but swapped
It for a key to unlock
We need to talk
Maybe if you knocked
You hold me like a gun cocked
She’s fresh out of stock
Touch yourself
How much more help
Do you need
Because I bleed
In ways guaranteed
Do we proceed at a speed
Do daydreams become freed?
There’s no DM to read
That wasn’t to mislead
Follow the stampede
Over where I planted a seed
I will not concede
You are a breed
Of what I need
You need me too
Or I wouldn’t know you
Or what to do
I’m brand new
Nothing ever grew
I’m in it but I’ll walk you through
The loneliest number is 2
I don’t know who
Was overdue
To pursue
I want her, under review
Let me take care
Let me be there
I just stare
I don’t know what’s fair
A double dare
A cross to bear
I swear
I wish that you would care
You’re just a screenshot unaware
I keep the photos you send
She asks was I beautiful then
I don’t know where to begin
Or which past life to mend
Friend zones are for people like me

The Fall
02:21
|
|||
She don’t want me like that
Like that
Where’s the placebo at?
Want the drug don’t want to chat
Want the high but she falls flat
She said, she said
Take my fall
I don’t want you at all
I have only one shot
One shot
She don’t care what I’ve got
Want a spin but she does not
Want a taste but that’s a lot
I don’t need it no more
No more
Morphine eyes keep score
Want her love don’t know what for
Wanted in but she locked the door
|

Garden
02:27
|
|||
She breaks into my house after hours
To demand flowers
April never brought showers
Spring was never ours
Flowers are for a funeral
What’s a garden that doesn’t grow?
She wakes me to say no
Call the hearse and let go
Feed me the afterglow
High on a hill
I am rooted still
Another pill
The jagged Jill
There was nothing to kill

Children of The Plague
02:55
|
|||
Children of the plague, give me eyes to see
Down deep, down deep
There’s a wolf counting sheep
Go to sleep, Go to sleep
The wicked don’t get a peep
Oh child you ain’t got no
Outside, outside
Outside they hide
Another dreamer died
The air, the air
Can’t light a match out there
Fair share, fair share
There’s sickness in the dare
Oh child you ain’t got no
Outside, outside
Outside they hide
Another dreamer died
Dear child, dear child
The plague doctor smiled
Do run wild, do run wild

Day Job
02:16
|
|||
I gave up my day job
To rage on
Pay day gone
Okay mom
Stay calm
Dull crayon
To engrave on
Pray god
Not to prey on
In a basement like radon
Not what they want
Yet what I was raised on
Against great odds
Need a seance
In their croquet lawns
I mail bombs
Seem to chase dogs
Congratulations
I’m an abomination
I hate myself and my creations
Gave up my day job to rage on
Rage on
Pay day gone, it's ok mom
Rage on
Rage
I’m on the radio
You’re on paleo
Fingernail play dough
I can’t make my way home
I cry into a pay phone
Message at the same tone
Get on an empty plane flown
With vain hope
They took a vote
stay home
Is what they wrote
Quit my day job, symbolic
Freed workaholic
Hate not hyperbolic
They called me an alcoholic
Ironic
With what logic
I’m episodic
Was chronic
Hold the gin, just the tonic clonic
A bomb atomic
Now I’m on the topic
Catastrophic
You’re microscopic
I quit because you’re psychotic
I’m not so neurotic
Or catatonic
One finger pneumonic
For iconic
Gaze sardonic
You’re a comic idiotic

Left in a Dream
02:44
|
|||
Oh it’s fine to settle
Taste the metal
Eyes black as a kettle
No head to level
Shake hands with the devil
I dreamed until I couldn’t escape
A ghost they got on videotape
You lost me at fine
I did not sign
At the bottom line
What happened in time
I am no longer mine
The way out was not the same
As the way I came
The picture grew out of the frame
The dream went up in the flame

The New Me
02:24
|
|||
The year is 2022
You can’t know what to do
With black magic Voodou
Destroying, employing you
When the grass turns blue
The nightmare becomes true
The dead silence seeps through
I am dead too
Turning 29
Should be fine
But I’m in deep all the time
Wearing a biohazard sign
Singing spice girls, it’s my nine to five
What a time to be alive
In a cafeteria line
Bride of Frankenstein
This is my prime
This is a crime
My hair reeks of formaldehyde
Tell Julie Andrews they lied
They was no mountain to climb
My debit card was declined
There’s no rhyme
To really define
Or match how much this is fucked
She never cared nor do they
I watch the torn out hair I bear turn grey
Hey
What’s day to day anyway
You play
I stay
I pay
I’m worked to the bone
What’s a phone
-call away
I am grown
It’s the gateway
Drug to no spark plug
A shrug
Bah humbug
A place under the rug
I hate the people around me
They ground me
The highest kite in the county
In a tree
Leave me be
Put me back where you found me
2 am
Weighed in
I’m awake again
My boss gives up
I can’t pickup
Slack when she won’t sit up
This was a mix up
There was a split up
I’m kicked shut
They don’t look at me or what my life digs up
I am a pain scale
That became stale
Like a bake sale
Chased tale
I wear chain mail
I get hate mail at best
At the wrong address
I had a bad guess
This is a job I never wanted
My new house is haunted
There’s glass
in my lawn and
My last
hope never responded
I laugh
At what god did
They grasp
My carotid
My i’s were never dotted
The blood never clotted
The light never spotted
Too many flies swatted
Plans accosted
This is not it
I’m beyond it
I sleep in bondage
Held hostage
As an homage
To how ironic
This montage is
How iconic-
ly Despondent
I wallow in ways demonic
My music called it
Philharmonic
Sad bullshit that’s autonomic
This is the new me
Let me be
I thought I went free
I never moved to be the metal Queen
I settled for a burned down dream

Numb
02:21
|
|||
I like the way she smokes
The way her laugh soaks
In the deep end of jokes
She builds up my hopes
I’m just in love with a hoax
I went numb
I woke up dumb
I can’t say it to her face
There’s no place
To retrace
She is sad to the bone
I welcome her into my home
She sets our fate in stone
A garden had grown
I say I’m better off alone

Leech
03:06
|
|||
Do I speak in tongues
There’s water in my lungs
A highway head that hums
A faucet that always runs
Get me out of this blood thirst
Give me the bad news first
The rest is worse
I take what’s mine
There’s no better than fine
A lover walks the line
I grew gills not a spine
What did I take
For your sake
I fake
I shake
Look me in my eyes
White knuckle disguise
Master of none the wise
Bled at sunrise, bled
In my bed
In my head
Water I tread
The red
Of what you said
Fulfills me instead
Give me hell til I’m dead
I want what I never had
For this be glad
I stay mad
I’m a vampire, you go bad
Your song was always sad
I’m sorry I found your name
The shame of the game
I live in what you defame
Love me til I’m tame
I’m a leech all the same

NFT
02:37
|
|||
I fucking hate the Gram
How much can you cram
Into who I am
For one good goddamn
They won’t eat my green eggs and ham
I can’t get a fan
When music is a scam
Count my story views on one hand
Ok where’s my brand
The business of America is a business man
Says the DM from Uncle Sam
This is not what I planned
I forget where this began
What genre I am
*I* am Pyrophoria, this is not a band
I’m just on a playlist and they don’t understand
Won't sell my soul as an NFT
I can't fit into your flat screen TV
It don’t work but what will
I have Brazil
Madrid but still
I become shrill
Shitty drum fill
It takes some skill
The journey is uphill
To get a second thought
To set it off
I’m headed off
Can’t get along
Three headed dog
Everlong
Clever song
Never on
I’m being slept on
Stepped on
Lead on
I have no effect on
The world
Or it’s scum
I become numb
What’s a song if not glum
Beat the drum
Eat a sugar plum
Who is she, where’s she from
Up a tree, see
My foot got stuck in gum
God damn motherfuck what has this become
Dancing monkey with a gun
She’s bonkers they say, but fun
I’m done
Always the same outcome
Can I get a single crumb
They laugh at my pun
Come as you are, I’m a star
Wait I’m coming undone
Too late under a black hole sun
I write songs because I like to
You couldn’t get on my level if you tried to
You don’t work as hard as I do
Lazy people make lazy music that applies to
I write because I might catch alight
I’m up all night
I’m a kite that flies in a storm out of spite
You’re posting photos
Pushing promos
Wearing logos
That’s how the joke goes
The joke’s not on you
You’re the joke for what you do
Tried and true
You’re bought and sold as long as you’re new
There’s a price
In self sacrifice
But you don’t care do you?
Spotify almighty is flighty
Not taken lightly
Shiny shiny
Nuclear blast will never sign me

She’s a wildflower in a book
Her hands shook
She gave me that look
She was a pill I took
Steal the night, the wicked called
Eyes cobalt, made to scald
She’s a song I can’t name
I can’t tame
Her hands in the flame
She was not the same
Midnight struck me like a match
I was the wildest fire to catch
Wake up and detach
Wake up and detach

The Wiser
02:12
|
|||
I’m smarter than I am crazy
Try harder your eyes are glazy
Die martyr for an idea that’s lazy
99 Carter problem like Jay-Z
You are none
The less not done
The more you become numb
The deaf dumb
Third eye blind zero sum
I will not succumb
To the swallowed gum
Tree, see
Or where you’re coming from
I am like only some
The wiser never tires of what transpires after fires they made with the blade under their tongue
Wake up it’s just begun
Your mind palace a slum
Implied malice, tatt-oo gun
Black ink, I am not hu-mun
My chapter of revelation is revolu-tion
Your chapter goes unprov-en
Vilify me with a delu-sion
I ask nicely are you done
Because I’m not a second thought
For a second I got sex and
Candy caught
In my hair like a blank stare that was shot
From bloodshot eyes under no disguise
You are none I am wise
You are one I can rise
You’re all a franchise
Man made not man size
You go on like Anne rice
But you can’t write
Anything in a damned life
I’m the villain or am I
I’m bitter because you vilify
You vilify me because I still defy
I make poems from a battle cry
I break all rules that apply
I will never satisfy
I am a satellite
You’re a metabolite
I run circles like I catch alight
You have no appetite
None the wiser, an acolyte
The past don’t matter right
Then why do I fight
With a knife
From a life
Of strife
Fly a weathered kite
With a key in a storm like no thief in the night
You’re not wrong but I’m right
I could go on but you have no sight
I am on another level you are at no height
No, shit didn’t go right
There was no light
So bright
Or ocean wide
To grow out from inside
I am out no matter how I hide
I can’t say I never tried
