London-
Powder lashes when you missed
Dry bruises kissed and needle-less
Coconut lips torn and no one sees
Your scene was lived with scraped knees
A pretty win with twisted tears
And no one tells you to your face.

Slowly Rouge-
Threatened bodies ripping hair from graveyards
Past tense is bloody and your fingertips are rotten
Insulin and sugar taste like your lips
Underneath a crippled sky
Crushed love and buttons pushed
Scratchy film and she's the words stuck to the wall.

Leftovers-
I'm buried in the light
Burning far beneath my skin
Everything looks pretty wearing white
Bandage bleeding from your lips
Empty skin is feeding him
And you are all he left behind.

Saturday-
Insecurity found its own pain
Underneath the mattress where
He hid you until morning
Blood will always find its own way
So you never remember.

Funk Rock-
Sedation includes me
Pink is above us and
He told us he'd love us
Lighter fluid veins and
Another place for my heart
And your lips on the bed
Beaded skin and force fed gin
And sedation kicking in.

Banana Parade-
Nightly trips and radio hits
Take a hit and hide it
Corner love played backwards
For a taste of pain
A hint of dust in your tears
Have you been waiting long?

Dandy Lions-
Anemic love will make or break you
Darkness is your only disguise
Awake and so far away
Alibis and shredded eyes
Fist fights made for a war
Long-lasting, so leave things alone
And I'll be the one to hold you.
