For Your Sins

How many times can I break down before I’m gone
How many years can I hate myself pretending there is nothing wrong
Say “It’s okay, it’s not enough for me to break things off”
And I think it’s my fault ‘cause I know
That I will give you all of me kneeling on the ground
And you can take me piece by piece
Until I’m hollowed out
I’ve been feeling empty since you left
The scars have set in
From the cuts you dug so deep
I’m so done with paying for your sins
The wounds that you inflicted
How’d you wash the blood
Oh, oh
You paint a perfect public picture, well.
Roll back the sleeves
No you won’t let them see what’s behind the scenes
Do you feel powerful when I’m bleeding?
And you’re the reason that I’m breaking down
‘Cause you’ll say it’s my fault ‘til I bow
So I will give you all of me trying not to cry
And you will break me piece by piece
Until I’m dead inside
I’ve been feeling empty since you left
The scars have set in
From the cuts you dug so deep
I’m so done with paying for your sins
The wounds that you inflicted
How’d you wash the blood
Oh, how’d you wash the blood
Why am I the one to pick up the pieces that you left in your wake
How come the monsters never pay the price for the people that they break
I hope you pay someday and I’ll be doing great
‘Cause I’m done paying, yeah that debt is yours to take
I’ve been feeling empty
But I know the scars are healing
From the cuts you dug so deep
I’m so done with paying for your sins
I will not be your victim
You can’t have more blood
No, you can’t have my blood...

YOU SUCK

Wrote another song about my trauma (whoops)
Maybe I should just cry to my mama
But I’m spilling the tea and I’m not gonna clean up
Maybe spread it around
I’ll tell the whole town
‘Cause you suck and that’s my problem
Go suck your own bottle
I’m sending the bills for my therapy
I hope that you find pain and misery
I wish you nothing but bad luck
I know it’s petty but
You suck
Sorry if you think that I’m a drama queen
But coming from the bad guy running through my dreams
Call me what you want, but you still did the deed
So I’m wearing my crown
To tell them what went down
‘Cause you suck and that’s my problem
Go suck your own bottle
I’m sending the bills for my therapy
I hope that you find pain and misery
I wish you nothing but bad luck
I know it’s petty but
You tore me down and locked me up
Told me I’m not enough
So I’m the lucky one
So I kept my mouth shut
You played the long game for a grift
Yeah you robbed me of everything
And got away with it
So I’ll settle the score
No I’m not your
Toy
You suck and that’s my problem
Go suck your own bottle
I’m sending the bills for my therapy
I hope that you find pain and misery
I wish you nothing but bad luck
I know it’s petty but
You suck

Vampires

Vampires
They want me for more than blood
They follow me home to feed from my soul
Don’t care if there’s nothing left on these weak bones
I called for vampires
Drain me of my life force
Mmm
Vampires
There’s a coven on every corner
I’ve got nowhere to hide
Eyes all over me
Do they ever blink
And no one ever warned me
They don’t come just at night
I can’t seem to sleep
Are they in my dreams
Chasing, erasing me
Vampires
They want me for more than blood
They follow me home to feed from my soul
Don’t care if there’s nothing left on these weak bones
I called for vampires
Drain me of my life force
Mmm
Vampires, Mmm
I’ve been selling the taste, yeah
‘Cause I gotta survive
I’m commodified
Have another bite
And it feels like a wasteland
Is anybody alive
I can’t seem to find
Anything that feels right
We’re dying, goodbye to the light
Vampires
They want me for more than blood
They follow me home to feed from my soul
Don’t care if there’s nothing left on these weak bones
I called for vampires
Drain me of my life force
Mmm
Vampires
I called for vampires
And you know there is no escaping
You’re either predator or prey
And I chose
And there’s no, and there’s no going back
It’s death or drink
But death isn’t fast
Exsanguination’s real slow
Vampires
They’re coming for more than blood
They follow me home to feed from my soul
Don’t care if there’s nothing left
I called for vampires
Drain me of my life force
Mmm
Vampires

Just an average burnt out indie pop girl
Running ‘round the seven circles made your own hell
Gotta pull yourself together while you go out of your mind
Practicing your smile ‘cause you don’t have time to cry…
Over stressed and depressed and compulsively independent
But if you keep doing well no one figures out you’re pretending
Head down, don’t tell
Lost all social connection it’s more like social misdirection
If you tell them you’re okay how many people would question it
“So strong”. They’re wrong.
Just an average burnt out indie pop girl
Running ‘round the seven circles made your own hell
Gotta pull yourself together while you go out of your mind
Practicing your smile ‘cause you don’t have time to cry
Always gotta be on so they don’t eat you alive
Yeah, you indie pop girl
Got your Barbie doll image best hide your internal grimace
You can’t react when you’re treated like you’re just something to pillage
“Calm down”, “Don’t frown”
You owe everyone responses don’t you know you belong to them
Your desires don’t matter they just want all you can offer
Don’t think, just sing…
Just an average burnt out indie pop girl
Running ‘round the seven circles made your own hell
Gotta pull yourself together while you go out of your mind
Practicing your smile ‘cause you don’t have time to cry
Always gotta be on so they don’t eat you alive
Yeah, you indie pop girl
Learned every kind of tension pulled in every direction
Will you learn to let go…
Yeah you’re just an average burnt out indie pop girl
Running ‘round the seven circles made your own hell
Gotta pull yourself together while you go out of your mind
Practicing your smile ‘cause you don’t have time to cry
Always gotta be on so they don’t eat you alive
Yeah, you indie pop girl

Picture Perfect

He sees me three times a week
On a screen
But he believes he knows me
And what I should be
A small peek behind the scenes
Try to be honest
But he’s already got his story
They don’t care, it’s an obsession
Now I’m sharing all their transgressions
What did he just say to me
The audacity
“Your life’s so picture perfect
So who cares what’s beneath the surface
You’re just one dimension
Oh, and did I mention
I can tell that you’ve been lying
‘Cause otherwise you wouldn’t be trying
To have a life
I’m owed more of your time
And explanations why”
Sure. Picture perfect life
He sees me living it up
It must be so glamorous
It’s easy living their dream
Ignore all the pain that I feel
If he can’t see, it isn’t real
I’m happy, obviously!
They all say “Isn’t she lucky”
But she’s still been crying in her sheets
Maybe it’s not everything it seems
“Your life’s so picture perfect
So who cares what’s beneath the surface
You’re just one dimension
Oh, and did I mention
I can tell that you’ve been lying
‘Cause otherwise you wouldn’t be trying
To have a life
I’m owed more of your time
And explanations why”
Sure. Picture perfect life
Oh, picture perfect life
How’d you know I always wanted someone
To mansplain my life to me
Don’t know where you got your expertise
But you know better, surely…
My life is picture perfect
Who cares what’s beneath the surface
I’m just one dimension
And I heard you mention
Sorry, I was never lying
I shouldn’t be apologizing
For my life
But I’m sure you think you’re right
So I won’t waste my time
Sure. Picture perfect life

Villain

Standing alone in the shower
Body’s tense wonder if I'll make it out
Doors are locked checked them all like a thousand times
But the water’s covered me in doubt
My skin is crawling
Screams someone's watching
But there's nobody there I'm alone in my bathroom
This is the world that we live in
Girls waiting for the next villain
And he could be anywhere
Or anyone, don’t breathe
He's hanging out with his friends
Empty words wondering when it's going to end
Can't say the thoughts really in his head
You're weak if you speak with any substance
He is hiding what's deep inside him
But it's breaking him down he's alone in his own crowd
This is the world that we live in
Boys listen for the next villain
And he could be anywhere
Or anyone, don’t scream
But now we will rise the villains will fall
As they realize that their way’s out the door, oh
We won't have to fight to see them crumble
The poison’s in their lies
On their words they will choke
Now this is the world that we live in
Calling out all of the villains
And we could be anywhere
Or anyone, can't run

Double taking when I'm walking down the street
All you take in is another pretty face
And that must mean that I have got it so easy
Yeah that must mean that there is nothing more to me
Call me “pretty baby” tone deaf boys who want to play
Well babe you couldn't take the games I handle everyday
I'd like to see you try
Trust me I'm not your type
Looking for someone who's just a little dumb
Or too afraid to speak her mind
Silly little girl bend her to your will
But I'm not one to go down quiet
Don't underestimate me you won't survive
Better to just forget me…bye
Acting surprised that I know seven letter words
Well I can tell you that your comments are superfluous
I may have daddy issues but I still love Star Wars
Isn't it shocking how I'm actually a person
Call me “pretty baby” tone deaf boys who want to play
Well babe you couldn't take the games I handle everyday
I'd like to see you try
Trust me I'm not your type
Looking for someone who's just a little dumb
Or too afraid to speak her mind
Silly little girl bend her to your will
But I'm not one to go down quiet
Don't underestimate me you won't survive
Better to just forget me…bye
Ohhh
I'm not your baby girl I'm coming for blood
Think you're the predators but I'm on the hunt
You should keep quiet baby hold your tongue
You've been driving me crazy you better run
Looking for someone who's just a little dumb
Or too afraid to speak her mind
Silly little girl bend her to your will
But I'm not one to go down quiet
Don't underestimate me you won't survive
Better to just forget me…bye :)
