lyrics

There are so many wars outside In the war in my head, I died There's a hole in me, ocean wide There's no place in my to hide I ask them to stop, and they don't often Why do you want so many nails in your coffin? You can't love me 'cause I lied I go out like a tide I go out like a flame deprived I was ruled a suicide I ask them to stop, and they don't often Why do you want so many nails in your coffin? Then you came at me again I am nobody, the pseudonym You are as hurtful as you've ever been I don't know what world you're living in Where I wouldn't win I go off with a grin.

Outcast 02:29
lyrics

I never wanted to belong They said put your wounds into a song I said but I don't know what's wrong I am a sore thumb in this life I stick out like a knife Genuine is a word I can't use Her peck on the cheek left a bruise The girl I loved was a ruse I am a sore thumb in this life I stick out like a knife Gone, gone, the girl is gone I woke up lamenting before dawn The silence just rained down upon I am a sore thumb in this life I stick out like a knife

lyrics

You used words to make me small You lied to make yourself seem tall You saw me as a docile doll You made me get down and crawl I'd fight back but they said I'd lose I'm just a girl and this is just a ruse I'm just a girl in the wrong shoes I heard a tick but they couldn't defuse I gave you the fuel for your gaslight You gave me the fuel to ignite I didn't bring a knife to a gunfight You live and learn in hindsight I'd fight back but they said I'd lose I'm just a girl and this is just a ruse I'm just a girl in the wrong shoes I heard a tick but they couldn't defuse You say this time it's all in my head Oh but grandmother! The little girl said Recently I've seen a lot of red I'll grind your bones to make bread I BROUGHT A GUN after what you said The self-righteous coward fled In life, this is how you get ahead

Crown 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I'm atop the mountain and I won Washed in the blood with a handgun Kerosene queen watched them run Kerosene queen had some fun Now victory tastes sweet Let them fall at my feet Let them wallow in defeat Let cake be what they eat You never expected it to be me The bipolar girl that went free The quiet girl with the key The explosion girl is home free Now victory tastes sweet Let them fall at my feet Let them wallow in defeat Let cake be what they eat I told you soon I'd wear your crown I told you no one can keep me down I stand up on shore after I drown I've the lock and the key to this town I'll play queen, and you play clown You'll play dead and lay on the ground

Douse 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I'm the queen but it doesn't come free Is that love in the air, or is that debris? They want to keep far away from me Your heart went cold, so I stole the key In the garden, I stole from the tree Tick tick, or the tick of TNT The lie I told was that I can douse There's a silence like knives shining in my house I can't find a way out All they do is cast doubt Rape me like they did before Blood-stained, cast aside like a whore I go home, don't cry, just lie on the floor I said is there much in life worth living fore? I said I don't want to be me anymore I said if this is life then this is war The lie I told was that I can douse There's a silence like knives shining in my house I can't find a way out All they do is cast doubt

Wasteland 03:36
lyrics
buy track
People don't want me because I'm me I'm the jailer yet I can't go free She left and swallowed the key I wore black as the bride to be I wore the dress and went out to sea No one loves me to my face I'm lost and in the wrong place The happiness went to waste I'm abandoned and being chased They're after me, but I'm not afraid Explosion girl stands with a switchblade You and whose army? Said the brigade The jokes on you, it just hasn't been made There's a price on your head, it just hasn't been paid No one loves me to my face I'm lost and in the wrong place The happiness went to waste I'm abandoned and being chased

Pain Scale 03:39
lyrics
buy track
I'm so glad that I'm not you A name is no good for a tattoo Are you in love, or are you due? I am alone in the house I fell through I hid my scars under beautiful black ink I put my dreams in a box beneath the sink I couldn't fit in, but I wouldn't shrink The voice in my head said drink I can't control the words I say When it goes red and you run away Everyone asks me I'm ok What am I on the pain scale today? I hid my scars under beautiful black ink I put my dreams in a box beneath the sink I couldn't fit in, but I wouldn't shrink The voice in my head said drink I'm alone, and I'm a bomb threat They thought that I'd forget What I've done I DO NOT regret White female, 27, brunette

Bang 03:24
lyrics
buy track
If I go, it will be out with a bang I watched the phone as it rang I sat and cried as I sang I didn't want the mirror to hang I wish I'd spontaneously combust The pyrophoric must adjust The firing pin was covered in rust The surrender was unjust You can't keep me down, but here I am I admit this is not what I planned I'm constructed of compiled contraband Defeated with my list of demands I wish I'd spontaneously combust The pyrophoric must adjust The firing pin was covered in rust The surrender was unjust I wish I'd burnt it all in the end Myself included, to amend I lost the light, I lost a friend I lost the right to even defend They're coming for me again I've taken so many of their men This round you win This round you win

Jugular 03:16
lyrics
buy track
The jugular is where I will aim I sharpened the knife while you did the same I felt the warmth as you fanned the flame Your first mistake was picturing tame They said little girl we won't take the blame The knife in my back went back where it came Kerosene queen will not bow down Explosion girl just waits for the sound I declared war on an army as one They never saw my teeth from the front The tattoo I got wasn't done In the story I wrote, I always won I reach for the match while I hold my gun This is the part where all of you run Kerosene queen will not bow down Explosion girl just waits for the sound
