MASQUERADE

I can’t look straight at you my dear
You will smell my fear
Hold onto my slippery heart
Don’t press too hard
You crash like a tidal wave
I never had the words to say

Put your tail between your legs
And tell me what you really mean
You never say what you really mean

You masquerade like you’re unique
Like you’ve got a lot to say. Like there’s something underneath
You masquerade like you’re unique
Like it’s never you like there’s someone else to blame

Our chemicals reacting like drugs
Teeth are shaking but it’s not love
I’m electric and you’re a plug
You aren’t my friend
And I’m not so friendly anymore

Put your tail between your legs
And tell me what you really mean
You never say what you really mean

You masquerade like you’re unique
Like you’ve got a lot to say. Like there’s something underneath
You masquerade like you’re unique
Like it’s never you like there’s someone else to blame

You want to rewrite our history
You like to bend the truth
To look like you want it to

You masquerade like you’re unique
Like you’ve got a lot to say. Like there’s something underneath
You masquerade like you’re unique
Like it’s never you like there’s someone else to blame

SATELLITE

I slip and sway at every passing turn
I think I may be losing my mind
I ride my bike up the hills
To an abandoned house
On the outskirts of Los Angeles

Where no one can see me
No one really knows me at all

Would you be my satellite
Would you be my radar
They don’t understand us
But it don’t matter
Satellite satellite

I should just get on with it and
Say the things I’ve meant to say for so long
Bit my tongue till I tasted blood
I don’t want to lose control

I’m on the edge of my seat
I can feel my heart skip a beat

So would you be my
Would you be my satellite
Would you be my radar
They don’t understand us
But it don’t matter
Satellite satellite

I write love letters to pass the time
I’m a radio you’re the frequency I’m on
But it’s been so long since I’ve been gone

Would you be my satellite
Would you be my radar
They don’t understand us
But it don’t matter
Satellite satellite

SHOOT FOR THE MOON

I moved from New York City to Los Angeles
Made this place my home found a man I love
Oh but my future is still uncertain I gotta figure it out
But the words won’t come out

Maybe I’ll just be a street poet
Get lost in my lover get lost in the meaning of life
But I could never be satisfied
I gotta figure it out. I still got my doubts

Please don’t tell me lies
To keep me warm at night

Because the bright lights of the city do fade
But I wanna shoot for the moon
I wanna shoot for the moon
Oh oh oh oh

Yes I know you’ve got your own problems
It must be hard to be a millionaire’s son
Oh but in time you will soon forget me
And I’ll be travelin’ on, cause I still got my song

Please don’t tell me lies
To keep me warm at night

Because the bright lights of the city do fade
But I wanna shoot for the moon
I wanna shoot for the moon
oh oh oh oh

You hold on so tightly to your convictions
Given up the fight long before it’s lost
You, you’ve got no motivation
When everything’s handed to you on a silver plate

So please don’t tell me lies
To keep me warm at night

Because the bright lights of the city do fade
But I wanna shoot for the moon
I wanna shoot for the moon oh oh oh oh

SPIDERWEBS

Deep blue sea great big world
Setting out sails to the open road
Fire in my heart blood on your hands

All I want is to be free
You still try and capture me
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast too fast
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast

Black widow in my home
Spider webs blur my eyes
I don’t need anyone anything anymore

All I want is to be free
You still try and capture me
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast (too fast too fast too fast)
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast

Cat must have gotten your tongue today
Oh I’m gonna wash my I’ll wash my hands clean of you
While I’m still young, while I’m still young
oh. oh

Cause all I want is to be free
You still try and capture me
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast (too fast too fast too fast)
I don’t look back I’m movin too fast

ARMOR ON MY HEART

Took all you could and then some more
If I told you the coast was clear
You would do it all again
I’ve got a sour taste left in my mouth
You’re a stain that bleach don’t wanna fix

I don’t cry too much these days
I don’t have to lie when I say

Honey I don’t love you anymore
I still wear my battle scars
Like armor on my heart
But we’ve gone too far
And I can’t love you anymore

I almost drowned inside your house
I almost lost myself inside of you
You make it easy to never turn back
I don’t wanna live like that like that

I don’t cry too much these days
I don’t have to lie when I say

Honey I don’t love you anymore
I still wear my battle scars
Like armor on my heart
But we’ve gone too far
And I can’t love you anymore

You never made it easy on me
It’s been almost a year and I keep lookin back
It’s been some time and I keep lookin back
Lookin back

I don’t cry too much these days
I don’t have to lie when I say

Honey I don’t love you anymore
I still wear my battle scars
Like armor on my heart
But we’ve gone too far
And I can’t love you anymore

YOU’RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE

Saw you from across the room
We locked eyes and soon
You’d have my heart
You would have my heart
You were charming and so complicated
I guess I just wanted a little bit of mystery
A little bit of fun

But now it’s all said and done
I wasn’t having any fun

So baby baby slow down
You’ve spread yourself around
This whole damn town
You’re not fooling anyone
Not fooling anyone but me
So tell me all your lies
Tell me all your lies
The truth has set me free

You look at me with lovesick eyes
Say I’m the one that calms your skies
Your skies and
It was all so plain to see
But I closed my eyes I just wanted to
I wanted to pretend

But now it’s all said and done
You can’t be having any fun

But now it’s all said and done
I wasn’t having any fun

HEART COLLECTORS

Headed east to find a space inside my head
Looking for an answer that I’m not sure it exists
Learning just what love is and wondering why I left

When the heart collectors come for me
They wont find what they seek
Mines been missing since long ago
When we called it love
But I still chose
To leave to leave to leave

The next horizon always seemed brighter than the last
I followed every impulse like a moth to a lamp
I want to go home again but I don’t know what that means

When the heart collectors come for me
They wont find what they seek
Mines been missing since long ago
When we called it love
But I still chose
To leave to leave to leave

It’s too late
Only now I’m looking back
It’s too late

When the heart collectors come for me
They wont find what they seek
Mines been missing since long ago
When we called it love
But I still chose
To leave to leave to leave

ROSEY

Everything looks better in rewind
I tell myself I’m not the choosing kind
Time goes on and ticks away
I watch the moment dissipate
Mind in motion all the time

That you look so sweet in my rosy colored memories

Cause I’m looking for something to fill up the holes
I’m looking for someone
To make it better make it better
Make it better
Make it rosy oh oh oh oh

I couldn’t see the forest for the trees
All I got was oxygen and evergreen leaves
It was never black and white
But you made it easy to decide

That you looked so sweet in my rosy colored memories

Cause I’m looking for something to fill up the holes
I’m looking for someone
To make it better make it better
Make it better better
Make it rosy oh oh oh oh

I don’t need a quick fix
I’ll stick it out on my own
I don’t want your bandages
I will fill my own
I will fill my own holes

Cause I’m looking for something to fill up the holes
I’m looking for someone
To make it better make it better
Make it better better
Make it rosy oh oh oh oh

SOMETHING TRUE

I don’t know what I’ve been lookin for
Couldn’t say why I called you here
Wish I saw recognition in your eyes
Wish I saw something else in you
Something true
But that’s not you

Cause now they’re just words you say
It don’t mean anything to me
It don’t mean anything to me now
And I can see right through
I look inside of you
And I don’t wanna go back
I don’t wanna go back now

Thought it could be different
The second or third time around
But everything’s exactly in its place
And I’m the only thing that’s changed
I’m the only thing that’s changed
I’m not the same

I used to hang on every move
I couldn’t see the end of you and I
Was enamored of your glow
Your glow

We don’t fit together now
I don’t know how

Cause now they’re just words you say
You don’t mean anything to me
You don’t mean anything to me now
And I can see right through
I look inside of you
And I don’t wanna go back

HIPSTER BITCH

Daisy dukes must be back in style
She walks in she walks up and owns the bar
Her and my former flame are the picture of lust
Eyes locked their bodies intertwined
And it is so so inappropriate baby
I can’t compete I’ll never win cause

She can drink
Jim Beam with the boys
But they don’t see her eyeliner smudged
From the night before

Hipster bitch
Lord knows I’m nothin like her
Hipster bitch
Gotta be the life of the party
Hipster bitch
So quick to tell you she’s artsy
But I guess it’s hard to hate that ass and those lips
Hipster bitch

She brags that she can write poetry like Dylan
I said are you crazy girl are you out your damn mind
She dances all night to the sound of his guitar
Under psychedelic lights doin lines at the bar

She can drink
Jim Beam with the boys
But they don’t see her eyeliner smudged
From the night before

She’s kinda trippy trippy
She’s kinda crazy sexy
She’s kinda loose
But she don’t mean no harm
Vanilla mocha bean
Into the green scene
Y’all know what I mean
She takes the L train to fucking Williamsburg
She’s such a hipster

She can drink
Jim Beam with the boys
But they don’t see her eyeliner smudged
From the night before

Hipster bitch
Lord knows I’m nothin like her
Hipster bitch
Gotta be the life of the party
Hipster bitch
So quick to tell ya she’s artsy
But I guess it’s hard to hate that ass and those lips
Hipster bitch
