Won’t be long Fuck a theme song I go on Chasing my tail making bail You weren’t wrong I don’t belong I hate the dawn When the blackness is gone I once was a Queen set upon Not like a pawn A card drawn Yawn 2 am again the girl is gone Out of bed drawn But mislead Sitting on the lawn Come along In life, her sentence Is a run-on Dark as pitch Few dead in a ditch Worth another stitch Flick the switch Out Burn this bitch I write songs to let them free Otherwise they devour me, a girl with a plea, flee, skinned knee, no I in we, no sight to see When time comes I’ll be back in one piece This will cease There will be release Broken glass centerpiece Glock in hand but keeper of peace I do not own these streets Asphalt, there’s a crease In me where I sat knowing history repeats It sleets I pulled out my receipts Time fleets and beats You When you’re the one Who retreats Dark as pitch Few dead in a ditch Worth another stitch Flick the switch Out Burn this bitch My mind is dark like a seabed A light comes on in my head Dark horse dark course no remorse brute force Longshot in the dark lead In a jacket went through he’s dead Not a shred Of emotions Blank instead Leave everyone in the dark for what I said Dark days are not just ahead I’m at the tail end of being derailed, or the ship had sailed and my coffin nailed What’s left to defend I’m losing my only friend My life depends On where and when I don’t know where I begin Or end It’s dark again I’m going back to where I’ve been I fucking hate myself If I could just die No lie no one would even ask why Time passes by and I cry I live in a cave and all day I save the best for come what May and invest in a life where I’d like to stay but not today No fuck this shit LongShot wants to spit Because the words won’t quit Who or what to commit That is it That is all folks I hope the crowd chokes She sits down and smokes Dark as pitch Few dead in a ditch Worth another stitch Flick the switch Out Burn this bitch

Black Sheep Mind the teeth The pitch black in me you wouldn’t keep A back hearted Queen down deep I weep Uphill is steep Talk is cheap You get what you reap if you count it to sleep Sow yourself in the ground In a dream aloud Love won’t abound You get kicked down An outcast all around Was I found Bring the hound I was born and raised in the south They didn’t like my mouth For days I went without an ounce of sleep in the old house For my screams and the bad dreams The light cut out Counting black sheep and thunder clouds I am a villain misunderstood The Wolf came and left with a hood How do you know if you’re good High above me in the sky, a redwood stood Because it could I am something you cannot tame Shears for shame, who to blame, I’m not the same as in the frame, I flame, I reclaim, no name, they came, Child’s play or over game I’m insane, you’re the bane, wax and wane, the cracks and rain, all blacks and pain, in vain, I feign, to unchain, myself like it does not contain, a wound’s cellophane I jump the train Please refrain, from plain disdain Hate me like you were inhumane Scape goat more like sheep in exile Hate me until you forget after while I pick up the phone but I don’t dial I went astray like it was ok to be wild Shepard looked at me but not to smile I didn’t get a trial I am a sore thumb but numb, they are struck dumb, out I come, with an outcome, alone I hear the hum of silence like my drum, the girl that came from some sort of slum, the girl with a handgun who could outrun, was not done, in fact She won

Cellophane 02:32

Roll me back up Cellophane for the wound Styrofoam cup Sugar spooned Plastic plate And kitchen knife It’s a date I am a housewife In this life Sylvia Plath strife Jumpsuit pinstriped I’m an exhaust pipe Every fake fruit unripe Silicon prototype This can’t be right, midnight, a shipwright, a building site, please send me out like a satellite Back in hell I can tell Full metal shell Sound the alarm bell Where they can’t hear me yell Tissue paper for the blood Raincoat for the flood Drag me through the mud Fake flower bud I laugh because you shrug I am a heinous drug Come unplugged You fit like a yellow rubber glove Easily disposed of After I scrubbed Whatever you rubbed Off on the Queen you snubbed I dubbed You a toe I stubbed Back in hell I can tell Full metal shell Sound the alarm bell Where they can’t hear me yell I went back home A soup of stone Alone See-through; the wound has shown Who would’ve known Somehow I am grown I answer a phone They talk after the tone What are words when they’re just thrown Taped up the tires that were blown Reset my broken bone Nothing is real anymore I don’t feel there is a door And if so what for Once I was a whore Had her on the floor Sat her in the bathtub and swore I wouldn’t fall for The voice is not real I had to ignore and pour the folklore off shore A war to end war Shipwright from before Was not real just the rain in store Back in hell I can tell Full metal shell Sound the alarm bell Where they can’t hear me yell Let’s give this a wrap I cap, at lap number chit chat, bubble rap, went flat, cover me in that, a staged kidnap, beauty untapped, I do not adapt, in waters unmapped, I snapped, house of wax, I’m a tax, blue for blacks, see-through wound doomed, fumed like smokestacks, I am a parallax, neither here nor there nor theres and backs, cover my tracks, cement the cracks,

What did you do to me I am not home free, but I broke free, roam free, you don’t know me, alone see Ruin me, you and me, ambiguity to a tee, too hungry Four years what for At war, that back door whore, trap not enough for, here nor, therefore This house is no home Go home, I drove, I wrote, no hope Nothing good came from this house Is this how is this out, I miscount, my own amount I cannot look to see who’s there Shut the windows I do not care Not who it’s where I got lost in a stare I moved again back to square one Everything already packed up; already begun I just picked up and closed shut My baggage weighs a ton This house is no good for anyone Gonna drink himself to death and be done Like father like son One bullet one gun The house before was my own I called it home I had sewn Parts of me into its stone The trees were all grown I roamed Until life was postponed Where am I supposed to go I am grown you know Do show what you owe I have nothing to reap for the sow This house dark; a shadow

Sound Mind 02:08

These people outside Watch me; the downside No sound mind Haven’t found mine Sound? More like out blind Can’t hear when it’s bout time Brown eyed Who lied I watch them back with a knife On my kitchen counter, this life Is made of strife and I can’t hide But it’s fine I saw red til I went blind Then tried To find Something i left behind It turns out it was me myself and I All three don’t understand why This was planned by Those people who stand by My life a lie The dream ran dry I sit on the counter and cry The light went out near my door Not the back for the hands tied whore Blackness but why more Am I supposed to provide for Is this what I die for The thief in the night washed ashore The voice came in time She walked a thin line Then came the rip tide Which type Stick tight This kind That takes the in mind And outs and leaves you behind Like you’ve died Got to know her in stride Not kind An odd find Spoke like a hotline Ruined the plot line This is not mine The clock chimed But it was not time To fall back in line Stopped at a sign She said drive Better if I died Jump you are confined I declined Sound in my head fine But not a sound mind People don’t like this you know What do I have to show I am ok now; they don’t assume so I am a person shoved down below How do I grow I am an ocean wide status quo They don’t care though I am feared everywhere I go I’m just a puppet in a show They said the end and I said no

Don’t remember the last time I had a crush I live life in a rush Like I ain’t got no hair to brush I’m a public toilet you can’t flush I’m like standing a on a bus Brake and I go airborne with a thrust I’m like doing angel dust And walking into a suntrust I think therefore it is thus Nothing left to discuss Ladies must think I’m a must I’m covered head to toe in rust She looks at me and I blush She’s got a girlfriend though I know Where do I go Where do I go No I don’t shave anymore What the fuck for I wear my clothes from off the floor Some girl's thong is in my drawer Anciently a whore Makeup in a Kroger bag that tore Sephora will fuck you right in store Can’t find that shit but I don’t want more Acne I just ignore Then I just walk out the door She’s got a girlfriend though I know Where do I go Where do I go Today I’m brand-new Today I used shampoo I had lots of shit to go through I found my lipstick, a lone shoe I plucked until my eyebrows became two Today I see the girl with the palm tattoo She works at the shop I always go to I have a crush on her, wouldn’t you I’m single and I'm due Girls don’t want to have fun They want gay sex hun You weren’t expecting that one I want to come undone And let someone in and run Wild with me some That sounds gay and it’s coming from scum But I have a lot of songs to strum A lot of words to hum So I decided I was dumb For letting myself go numb Never lonely, like life was humdrum Didn’t know where I was coming from I just lived like it was fine in a slum So rule of thumb Go become

Some people don’t play nice Awake nights Fell from great heights Fell in love at a price Broken headlights Blacks and whites Saw the sights, the black ice, ran from searchlights, shot in gunfights, hindsight don’t suffice Roll the dice, Of three I am beaten twice What’s your price I’m a sacrifice I’m an explosion device I would kill a man if I could Shoot him where he stood Glock and a red hood I am a villain misunderstood I wish a fucker would I am driftwood I wanted to be a redwood This is not my neighborhood I grew up good I grew up underfoot Don’t know where I put The matchbook The storybook For the soot One look they took me off the hook and shook me Til I fought free Woe is me I turned out to be Washed ashore and not a tree No guarantee that you’ll see across the sea or find the key to free an apology You burn to the third degree I once knew a man who made me bleed I followed the lead Speed is not what I need when I have nowhere to go when freed I’m in a cave and won’t concede I am a poppy seed Somniferum that I overfeed Jamestown weed I can’t proceed I am aggrieved Everyone leave I no longer believe I never pray But let this be the day I sing from a hideout far away I cannot stay I cannot say Where I’ve been Where and when What I’ve done To have to run I sing to no one One bullet one gun One bullet one gun
