Lovegarden

Come into my lovegarden

Come into my lovegarden

Make yourself at home

 

You’re always looking in

Over the fence

I’m doing anything

To get your attention

Scratching at the gate

I wanna let you in

But I don’t

But I don’t, so

 

Come into my lovegarden

Come into my lovegarden

Make yourself at home

 

The weeds I’ve pulled

They’re not like you

They’re the same but different

But C’mon smell the rose

I wanna let you in

But I don’t

But I don’t, so

 

Come into my lovegarden

Come into my lovegarden

Make yourself at home

Make yourself at home

Make yourself a home

 

I wanna let you in,

Don’t you wanna come in

I wanna let you in

 

Come into my lovegarden

Come into my lovegarden

Make yourself at home

 

You’re always looking in

Come into my lovegarden

Fictionalized Resentment (Yeah you, the sell out)

Did you become a stranger to yourself?

The stereotype you never likened yourself to be

The prostitute with the squeaky voice coming through her nose

I can tell you’re feigning happy from the way you wear your clothes

 

Sold your blood for another day of light

Dyed your hair to save yourself from losing touch

Staying young is for the old, they say

But youth is what is giving you a face

 

Sell out, sell out they cry in your nightmares

And you know you hope they lie

Faked out, faked out they cry in your insecure ears

And I can’t hold you tonight

Cause all you’ve done is prove them right

 

I know, you’re just a character

Tall they wanted was another performer

But when you fall the spotlight

What will you do

 

Sell out, sell out they cry in your nightmares

And you know you hope they lie

Faked out, faked out they cry in your insecure ears

And I can’t hold you tonight

Cause all you’ve done is prove them right

Sell out, sell out they cry in your nightmares

And you know you hope they lie

Faked out, faked out they cry in your insecure ears

And I can’t hold you tonight

Cause all you’ve done is prove them right

Blue Eyed Bitch

No thank you father

No thank you sir

Try to get me clean but

You drown me in dirty water

They tried to get me free

They try to get me high

But when I hear the fireworks and bell tolls

I run and hide

 

Just a blue eyed bitch

Just a problem pocket

Gotta scratch that itch

Gotta light the rocket (x2)

All your hope for me sails away into the dark night

Just a blue eyed bitch, waiting for one hot minute of light

 

No thank you public

No thank you baby

You try to get her clean until

You see the scars ain’t dirt

They tried to get her out

They try to get her low

But when she hears the camera click and low growl

She knows where to go

 

Just a blue eyed bitch

Just a problem pocket

Gotta scratch that itch

Gotta light the rocket (x2)

All your hope for me sails away into the dark night

Just a blue eyed bitch, waiting for one hot minute of light

 

Out of all the shades of gray a young girl can become

You had to pick the one they’d see as a sign of whats to come

You can turn you back on everything

You can start again

I can runaway from it all, baby

What fun would that have been

 

Just a blue eyed bitch

Just a problem pocket

Gotta scratch that itch

Gotta light the rocket (x2)

All your hope for me sails away into the dark, seductive night

Just a blue eyed bitch, waiting for one hot minute of light

Waiting on one hot minute of light

Waiting on one hot minute of life

A Little Bit Rougher

A year ago you were brothers

You would fight to the end for your friends

But now you can’t stand eachother’s faces

And you speak more like enemies, if you speak at all

 

You’re a little bit rougher, you’re a little more tired

Of being disappointed and everyone else’s shit

But your shoes smell too, and you’re not always perfect

It’s a little bit rougher to admit it

 

What are your post-life plans

You should start figuring out what to do

If you see them on the street gotta plan your conversation

Cause politeness is a skill towards those you hate

 

You’re a little bit rougher, you’re a little more tired

Of being disappointed and everyone else’s shit

But your shoes smell too, and you’re not always perfect

It’s a little bit rougher to admit it

 

Maybe if you made a little effort

If you stopped pointing fingers

If you let your edges fit stead of grating on eachother

Maybe if you made a little effort

If you stopped pointing fingers

If you let your edges fit stead of grating on eachother

It wouldn’t be even one bit rougher

It wouldn’t be even one bit rougher

 

You’re a little bit rougher, you’re a little more tired

Of being disappointed and everyone else’s shit

But your shoes smell too, and you’re not always perfect

It’s a little bit rougher to admit it

Revolutions

Spinning around in your rules

I am nothing but a tool

For your mass destruction

Beg, borrow and steal

Your morals but like that

You’ll never spark a revolution

 

The windows down with new air in

You’re eight years old again

Driving too fast with nowhere to go

But you don’t wanna stay where you’ve been

That something pulling you from nothing

It’s contagious, its the most infectious thing alive

So you take it, while you can

Cause you know nothing good ever lasts

 

Spinning around in your rules

I am nothing but a tool

For your mass destruction

Beg, borrow and steal

Your morals but like that

You’ll never spark a revolution

 

A spiritual movement with your eyes closed

You taste what you can’t see, oh

Licking up the bits you can’t get enough of it

But with the blindfold off you can see its just bullshit

That fireman pulling you from the wreckage

He’s a force beyond what you could imagine

So you take it while you can

Cause you know being saved never lasts

 

Spinning around in your rules

I am nothing but a tool

For your mass destruction

Beg, borrow and steal

Your morals but like that

You’ll never spark a revolution

 

Another flag burned and pissed on in anger

But you hide your intelligence in flames

Your safety is in knowing that you yourself are to blame

 

Spinning around in your rules

I am nothing but a tool

For your mass destruction

Beg, borrow and steal

Your morals but like that

You’ll never spark a revolution

For Two Years From Now

I will be someone

Who in two years

You won’t remember

A thing about me

Except I like the color green

And I liked my hair short

And I liked to make of you

 

I will be someone

Who in two years

You won’t remember

A thing about

 

But I’ll struggle to not forget

The way our trembling lips met

For the first time, for the last time

Yes I’ll fight to keep a memory of you

The way I fight my tears

Thinking of you not fighting to remember me too

 

I will be someone

Who in five minutes

You’ll want back into your arms again

You’ll wanna runaway with

You’ll wanna make stay with you always

 

And I’ll struggle to not forget

The way our trembling lips met

For the first time, for the last time

Yes I’ll fight to keep a memory of you

The way I fight my tears

Thinking of you not fighting to remember me too

 

All she wrote was for me

To be strong and not need you

To know my face to know I had one

All she wrote was for us

To grow around eachother

In a way we’d both be strong

 

And I’ll struggle to not forget

The way our trembling lips met

For the first time, for the last time

Yes I’ll fight to keep a memory of you

The way I fight my tears

Thinking of you not fighting to remember me too

Ready, Set, Go

I’ll be paperthin

You can run right through me

Never look back, never wonder what it would’ve been like

I’ll be weatherproof

You can rain right through me

Never dry off, never wonder what it would’ve been like

 

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready

 

I’ll fold my edges down

You can hold me closer

Never let go, never wonder if it could’ve been nice

 

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready

 

Set go

Set go

Ready, set go

I’m ready, say go

 

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready to love, to hurt

To let you drive me crazy with the way you look

I’m ready

Man on the Moon

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

 

I’ve got two hands for holding

I’ll catch your tears like stars

Keep ‘em in my pocket, give em back

So you always know where they are

I’ve got two eyes for seeing

You in your light

Continue to shine

Forever more

 

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

 

I’ve got this voice to tell you

Shout across the oceans now

That when I put my arms around you

The planet has no one else

 

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

 

I’ll belong to you

I’ll belong to you

You belong to me,

I’ll belong to you, too

I’ll belong to you

 

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

One day when the Earth melts and we all say goodbye

Just know I’m the girl in love with the man on the moon

Marry Your Mother

So you say we should be breaking

A pause in all the loving

Was I looking the other way for a minute, baby

So you say we should be breaking

A pause in all the loving

DId you catch me catching my breath, oh

 

If you leave me now

You’ll marry your mother

You’ll never find another like me

If you leave me now

You’ll end up marrying your mother

Wondering how you gave up the good with me

 

You think that I’m the chain

And you’re dragging me around

The clips to your wings, I’m whats keeping you down

But I’m really like the wind

Bringing you your life

You wanna walk away, show me how high you can fly

 

If you leave me now

You’ll marry your mother

You’ll never find another like me

If you leave me now

You’ll end up marrying your mother

Wondering how you gave up the good with me

 

So my love is like a cage

And you want to be set free

I should save the space for someone

Who wants to keep me

 

If you leave me now

You’ll marry your mother

You’ll never find another like me

If you leave me now

You’ll end up marrying your mother

Wondering how you gave up the good with me

It’s Hard To Believe

Everybody’s got war in their hearts,

And blood on their hands

Why we’re still fighting, oh

I still don’t understand, hey

 

Doesn’t she deserve somebody to love

Doesn’t he deserve his truth

Why you gotta hide in a city of light

When there’s a ton more people like you

 

It’s hard, to believe

That these things will ever change

But I promise it’ll happen one day

It’s hard, to believe

The these things will ever change

But I promise it’ll happen one day

 

Tongue’s cut out to silence the outcry

But you can’t change will

Revolutions happen every day if you let them

Why we gotta make it uphill

 

It’s hard, to believe

That these things will ever change

But I promise it’ll happen one day

It’s hard, to believe

The these things will ever change

But I promise it’ll happen one day

Like You

Yeah, I know what I look like

Yeah, I know what you see

Go on, beg for permission

To throw your words at me

Oh, I’m an easy target

Yeah, right in your face

Go on, tell me all about it

The things I make you say

 

I asked for it

When I turned my head

Turned my back on you

I asked for it

When I dared to say

I hope I never end up like you

 

Yeah, I know its too much

For you hold your tongue

Oh, the feelings I don’t have

Well I’m going numb

Go on, tell me about it

The things I make you say

 

I asked for it

When I turned my head

Turned my back on you

I asked for it

When I dared to say

I hope I never end up like you

 

Eyes so wide

For wrong things

I hope I never end up like you

Mouth so big

For big words

I hope I never end up like you

Eyes so wide

For wrong things

Fingers so willing to fix

Mouth so big

For big words

Tongue so fucking quick

 

I asked for it

When I turned my head

Turned my back on you

I asked for it

When I dared to say

I hope I never end up like you
