for my girlfriend @quite-a-gal

lyrics under cut

She looked good in the spotlight, white faced

and full 'f purity, the angel she always wanted to be

And backstage she'd blot the sweat off her face,

And fix the makeup smudged 'round her eyes from budding tears

Even after all these years

She'd pull herself out of the ink

and make herself into a queen

she'd fashioned crowns of yellowed teeth

through the crumbling halo 'neath

the spotlight beamed upon her head

and she watched the audience full of death

and sing songs no one knew

or cared about anymore

Playing in the swamp of Depression dreams

the studio's been losing money for a long time

its holding on to its last dimes

But the show must go on, the curtain still rises

even when the seats are empty

and all the people are starving

She'd pull herself out of the ink

and make herself into a queen

she'd fashioned crowns of yellowed teeth

through the crumbling halo 'neath

the spotlight beamed upon her head

and she watched the audience full of death

and sing songs no one knew

or cared about anymore

for my girlfriend @non-responsive

lyrics under cut

Tracing the lines

on your fingers where he

left the pink scars

puckered on your flesh

It breaks my heart to see

The look in your eyes when he

flickers through your mind

over again

And I would hold you through the night

When the nightmares became too real

And I would help you forget his face

If it haunted you again

Moving on means pain

And pain means nothing good

And not even god can help

When things get that bad

I could split your chest

open and reach in

and pull your heart out

to sew it back together again

But it wouldn't help you

And I would hold you through the night

When the nightmares became too real

And I would help you forget his face

If it haunted you again

We can try on dresses

I could brush your hair

And we could plant flowers

In the scars on your fingers

Whatever I could do

to help get you through

To keep that look in your eyes

from crossing your mind again

And I would hold you through the night

When the nightmares became too real

And I would help you forget his face

If it haunted you again

He'll never haunt you again

for my partner @pastel-mutton

lyrics under cut

Your parents don't know about the things we do

Your parents don't know they've lost love in you

Your parents don't know, so please don't tell them

Your parents would rip me apart in a second

If they knew

Your parents don't know about the things we do

Your parents don't hear the things I've said about you

Your parents don't know you have trouble believing

Your parents don't know you have trouble eating

Your parents don't know, so please don't tell them

Your parents would rip you apart in a second

If they knew

You parents don't know about the things we do

Your parents don't listen when you tell them that you've

Been feeling bad these days

Your parents think its just teenage angst

But your parents don't know you like I do

Your parents would rip us apart in a second

If they knew

If they knew how much I loved you

I'd never see you again.

If your parents knew.

for my boyfriend @zydrate-dealer

lyrics under cut

You've been calling your piss soaked mat

a home for far too long

altars and churches of shit and vomit

are hardly a home

You find your rat infested coat

a safety blanket

and the smell of drugs and piss and shit

is the warmth to get you through it

And I really love you

I love you for it

And even though your home is broken

your hearth is warm enough for me and you

I can tell there's sad stories living behind your eyes

Certain words cut deep enough to pluck hairs inside your mind

Maybe you're hiding the scars beneath your thick leather gloves

Maybe one day I'll work my way inside your loud skull

Will you show me?

And I really love you

I love you for it

And even though your home is broken

your hearth is warm enough for me and you

Rabbit heart, you aren't satisfied in one place too long

I made you promise to keep my heart wherever you wandered off

I feel a twinge of pain whenever I see the safety's off

The gun you keep strapped to your boot is gonna blow your head off

Someday

Some Day

for my boyfriend, @clergymime

lyrics under cut

Leaving the bones of people to rot into the creek

People you knew and loved, members of a dying breed

The past is burning, leaving holes in the dusty enamel

The bones are shiny white, breaking up the dirty foam

I see you standing on the bank of the mud

Crying your eyes out but you know what must be done

You've already broken off your horns, tossed down your pitchfork

The foamy water washes away all you've ever known

and loved

Leather bound books rotting inside of your room

haven't opened them since god knows when and yet

you refuse to throw them away, "maybe another day"

I catch you running your fingers over the spines from

time to time

I'm mourning you already, you've got

some kind of sick I can't remedy and I know

you might not make it out alive

Your mind is full of bullet holes your brain looks like a bee hive

And you never stop crying. I wish I knew why

.

I peek through your stuff when I know you cannot see

Taking my time to peel through every single piece

I'm trying to diagnose you

'cause it makes me feel more in control

When I can prescribe some kind of medication

to make you feel whole

again

I'm mourning you already, you've got

some kind of sick I can't remedy and I know

you might not make it out alive

Your mind is full of bullet holes your brain looks like a bee hive

And you never stop crying. I wish I knew why.

I wish I knew why.
