Efflorescence 03:08
lyrics
buy track
The girl inked black starts over again In a field of flowers that might have been She doesn't quite know where to begin 27 but on the pain scale, a 10 When I bloom, I won't come back the same When I bloom, they won't forget my name December was dry and the sky was grey They walked on me like I was in the way I knew I'd just grow out of it one day And became a mayflower that trailed astray When I bloom, I won't come back the same When I bloom, they won't forget my name

I woke up last night from a nightmare It was about the life beyond repair Life is catastrophic, and so it's fair I wasn't the truth, I was the dare I'd come full circle fair and square I was on the train headed nowhere I planned to start over there I hear the ocean when I try the phone Where is my heard if I have no home Where is the Queen now she's overthrown Where is your spine when you haven't a kind bone I've been lost since I was freed I was a house and they had the deed I was the music box forever keyed I was the wildflower they called a weed Instead of fo fuck's sake I said indeed I climb the walls until I bleed What is it that I still need

Deadly Nightshade 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Turn a blind eye, pupil too wide Gypsum weed, figment-eyed Poison blooms on the wayside A beautiful woman is homicide Spin, measure, cut the thread I seduced you onto your deathbed Atrophied in the garden, no opium den Full purple with black berries; eat me again Touch me, touch me, my delirious grin You eyed the lover, but she's toxic within Spin, measure, cut the thread I seduced you onto your deathbed

The Wood 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Can't see the forest when I'm a tree No one really looks to see I am rooted in what I can never be I am the Jailer yet I cannot go free I sang, but an audience, no guarantee When I fell, no one came for me I tried searching for solid ground I tried screaming, but it made no sound The girl has yet to be found I burned the forest down Can't find shelter in my own home If there's a cure, it is not known I am hard-headed to the bone My shit list was carved in stone EMS tried my phone I said leave a message at the tone I tried searching for solid ground I tried screaming, but it made no sound The girl has yet to be found I burned the forest down Life's a bitch and then you die Did anyone bother to ask why I just seethe underneath the blue sky My roots are something I'll deny Little Red in The Wood with an evil eye Lost in The Wood is what they stand by

Evil Eye 03:44
lyrics
buy track
There's whiskery in the rye Whiskey for the wound and the fire about to die May all your crops wither for a black-painted sky May all your seasons run bone dry You feel me watch as you pass by No, no-- not an eye for an eye Tooth for a tooth did not satisfy My vengeance is a far cry Cobalt is an eye that won't turn blind Little Red's hood came untied She glares with something else in mind It's not that I'm lost, you just can't find You feel me watch as you pass by No, no-- not an eye for an eye Tooth for a tooth did not satisfy My vengeance is a far cry Your blind spot showed and now you're mine The Wolf that came for me was a sign I grew away from myself in time The Penstemon in the wood's sunshine The Queen painted her roses to redefine I will rain down on you with a wrath divine

Red Poppy 03:05
lyrics
buy track
You thought you knew me from before You used to lie down with me on the floor I don't look for anyone anymore I write home to no one in my house from war I latched my door and do not leave What do I do when I no longer grieve The tears that streamed down my face had gone I don't know what to write about in a song Everything I had known went wrong It's over, but it's been so long I latched my door and do not leave What do I do when I no longer grieve The rain came down from what I could see A summer storm had once ruined me She said, I know it's you, but it was no longer me You can't come inside for the debris I can't love anyone as a draftee Victory isn't sweet when it don't come free I latched my door and do not leave What do I do when I no longer grieve

Lady Slipper 02:38
lyrics
buy track
There's no place like home, but where have I gone Barefoot in a dream I fell upon Black and white, the girl withdrawn Ruby red is what I counted on I am the girl that strayed I am lost and unafraid Midnight stuck and I went out without a bang I ran so fast I lived in fame The glass girl shattered when the clock tower rang White female at large, 27, no-name I am the girl that strayed I am lost and unafraid

Queen of the Night 03:00
lyrics
buy track
I'm no bouquet, but I'm here for the night I'll be bent over before daylight I don't know you, but I won't be polite I'm a stunner with a bite I'm going to jump from the balcony, I laugh I fucked like I came from a photograph You are a moth but where is the moon The sun will come to kill me soon I lived my whole life in a cocoon I'm no butterfly, it was just high noon I'm going to jump from the balcony, I laugh I fucked like I came from a photograph I became myself and at what cost It was so dark, i was hit while I crossed I grew as though I was lost I bloomed when I was unwatched

DeadHead 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Alice catches a ride on a deadheading train Outbound from where the Black-Hearted reign The Queen and her seeds are all that remain In the circle of life I come back from the dead All the Queen's people say off with her head The Queen once the color of a bloodstain A bleeding heart that went insane She died and no one came In the circle of life I come back from the dead All the Queen's people say off with her head White as a rabbit, paint it black The Queen of Spades had a heart attack Slit my throat and I'll grow back Slit my throat and I'll grow back

Chrysanthemum 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Roses are red, violets called blue I went colorblind after I looked at you You were a kaleidoscope I fell into I was a window you couldn't see through Thought I was a weed, but I'm really a true blue They were yellow in a garden trampled through I was the wildest Queen that ever grew But they looked at me like I missed a cue If May showers do bring flowers after all What then brings the flowers in the fall The spring sadness tried to forestall The November in me hit a wall Thought I was a weed, but I'm really a true blue They were yellow in a garden trampled through I was the wildest Queen that ever grew But they looked at me like I missed a cue I was always beautiful in her eyes She was a wildflower that lived for blue skies It had been dark, and she was my sunrise I was an outcast, and she was likewise But I felt like I always ruined a surprise I loved her, but she would not compromise

Foxglove 03:03
lyrics
buy track
My heart is beating out of my chest Kaleidoscope eyes that ingest Seeing yellow, blurred at best I am under house cardiac arrest This is no home without her request She kissed me while she came undressed I loved her and I confessed I'd sleep but the wicked get no rest My heart runs around the block A ticking bomb or a broken clock She loves me, she loves me not I don't think I ever had a shot I see a flatline is all she's got They key to her heart was caught I ricochet as an afterthought Reality my only blindspot I begged the wildflower to stay in my plot As a weed that April showers brought My heart runs around the block A ticking bomb or a broken clock

Off-Season 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Wrong season; I'm not in bloom I am stuck in a love song in June I wrote the wrong girl the wrong tune I became a flower in a door-less room Singing come whatever May I cried July entirely away Where's the knife in me today Seasons change and I ricochet I am bipolar on account of the moon I phase out and run with the spoon It was about half past high noon The tides will take me soon Singing come whatever May I cried July entirely away Where's the knife in me today Seasons change and I ricochet

Jimson Weed 04:00

The girl, the delirient with a plea Hells bell’s are ringing for me There’s a voice in my head, let it be There’s hellscape as far as I can see The solider a fool with a gun Jamestown Weed took everyone Laughing to forget what you’ve done I killed my jailer and now they run I just smile and ask, who am I My mirror image had no reply I hit a wall where I’d be a fly They called my name and it was a lie I forgot the girl without the high Ghosts are made of memories that die I swung at the mirror with the evil eye They call me queen, and I deny

Somniferum 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Don’t dry your eye child, we sell the tears Sleepy lids, catatonic like rabbit ears Hypnos awakens and the light disappears A forgotten dream and the smoke clears Goddess of narcotics; a blooming pipe dream Heroine of heroin; her pinpoint pupils gleam Is there a war in your head red Nocturnal oblivion for you instead I fuck like an empress and you pled In a den of nobodies left for dead Hemlock for your plant of joy dear The God of death draws near “An international crime,” I say and sneer A cup of tea is not why I’m here

Wild One 03:20
lyrics
buy track
I go where the wild things are 'cause that's what I am Make a face, I don't give a damn If you're not here to riot, then scram Trash can cymbal for the Bad Girl jam The freak flag flew on a staff I cry so I do not laugh I rattled the polygraph I'll burn it down on your behalf I faked my own death to be left alone Now I dance to a tune with no tone All I need is a stick and a stone I am a Wild One to the bone The freak flag flew on a staff I cry so I do not laugh I rattled the polygraph I'll burn it down on your behalf I gave them a fucked-up, dazzling farewell I'd say get lost, but that's where I dwell There's a party that starts with a shotgun shell A fire somewhere that they could smell Hellcat smiled as the kingdom fell I didn't come here fore tea, I came to raise hell
