MISERY
Red light pulses to a shadow beat
Painted faces intimate torment underneath
Inner scars on display…lipstick…lingerie
Shuffle over to me I can hear her say
Come on baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery
Come on baby
Look…but don’t see
Come on baby
Dance the Misery
Blacklight girl with apathetic pout
I don’t care what you’re all about
Check your melodrama at the door
It’s your pale flesh that I’m coming for
Come on baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery
Come on baby
Look…but don’t see
Come on baby
Dance the Misery
Baby I’m not as hollow as I seem
I too am a pariah dying in my dreams
Maybe we can fix each other if we play this right
Or maybe not but at least we’ve got tonight
Come on Baby
Close your eyes with me
Come on baby
Dance the Misery…

Sick Of It

SICK OF IT
Blue and red and blazing lies
Buzz like conniving flies
Blasting any hope of peace
No surrender no release
Waiting still for something true
What I thought I always knew
Ripped away with all my dreams
Mundane and fantastic schemes
And I’m left
Sick of it all
I’m sick of it
Sick of it all
I’m sick of it
Once the young boy trusted
Expectations unadjusted
Everything to fall in place
Life unfurl with practiced grace
Met at every turn deception
Disappointment misconception
Loathing burns within without
Nothing grows throughout this drought
And I’m left
Sick of it all
I’m sick of it
Sick of it all
I’m sick of it
If the most dear truths come to fruition
Little lies just fall away
But without any dispensation
Night succumbs not to day
Think that I don’t understand
That I can’t fathom the plan
I only wished to ignore
What I know's in store...
Blue and red and blazing lies
Buzz like conniving flies
Blasting any hope of peace
Leaving me with no release
And I’m sick of it all...

Shallow

SHALLOW
Make it shiny make it new
Clean and pretty through and through
Make it stylish make it pop
Make us think it never stops
Doesn’t matter if its real
What’s the point—we don’t feel
Only matters if it’s now
We’ll discard it anyhow
We’ll discard it anyhow...
Why must everything seem shallow?
Why does everything seem shallow?
Help me deviate my course
This empty joy and remorse
Herald me a truer true
Something beyond the newest new
There is a light upon the hill
Ageless golden holy still
Can we find our way to thee
Not be seduced by what we see?
