Monster in Me

Been around town where the monsters are lining every street
Seen em' walk, seen em' talk like a shadow in the dark
On the prowl for a little something sweet
Well I met the devil, had him staring down the barrel of a gun
Had him weak in the knees, begging 'baby, honey, please'
Shoulda ran when you had the chance to run
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in
And it's a dangerous world to be free
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in, yeah
But the dangerous one here is me
Come a long way; fists aren't for shaking, jaws aren't for breaking
Ain't as tall when you got em' on their knees
And I got no trouble diggin' ditches in the middle of the night;
It's a long dusty road and we came here alone and
I'm finally the one behind the knife
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in
And it's a dangerous world to be free
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in, yeah
But the dangerous one here is me
And it's draggin' me down through the weeds
Ooh and it's kickin' the shit outta me
But the rage that's inside makes me feel I'm alive and I see...
There's a monster that's inside of me
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in
And it's a dangerous world to be free
And it's a dangerous world to get lost in, yeah
But the dangerous one here
But the dangerous one here
But the dangerous one here is me

Tumbleweed

Caught in my haste, I'm eager for change
Got me tethered and tangled and these roots at my feet are set in their ways
I just can't reckon with giving up precedence
Give me anything, long as it's real
Vagabond, tumbleweed; blow me away
Ooh lost in my days in these cycles and circles and
Ooh running round caged keeps me ravenous, chained to this wheel
Ooh there's more than it seems, take me anywhere just wanna feel
Ooh blow me away
I never refrain, it's never enough
Give me sun in my, wind in my
Facing this world's not dead as it seems
What are we waiting for, can't pretend anymore
Keep me wild; I'm feral and free
Wandering tumbleweed; blow me away
Ooh one in the same; all these make-believe anchors and
Ooh just like a plague; all this tedium, fuckery, fake
Ooh living my way as I scatter myself around
Ooh blow me away

Love Song

I’d love to miss the way you’d take my picture when I’m dancing in the rain
And I’d be the one to soothe your temper when your thunder’s on the way
I’d love to miss the sound of your voice, your laughter, the smile on your face
I wish that were someone to pour my soul to when I’m drowning in the pain
And I tried to write a love song, but I don’t even know your name
I tried to sing your favorite tune, but the words just never came
And it seems like I’m a fool to hold on to all these memories that I crave
Forever’s just a cage that we’re bound to without a heart that beats the same
I can’t help the way I’m longing for you, does it ever start to fade
Will I get to know these feelings I’m after? Is there a heaven left for me
And I’m not afraid of lonely ‘tomorrows’, but I hoped that it would change
If only there were someone to run to, should I give up on the chase
And I tried to write a love song, but I don’t even know your name
I tried to sing your favorite tune, but the words just never came
And it seems like I’m a fool to hold on to all these memories that I crave
Forever’s just a cage that we’re bound to without a heart that beats the same

Tides chase horizons; air land and sea
Your sails never opened, you were in a dream
I watched you crumble, writhe to be free
Your shell was a dungeon, and you sentenced me
And I was just a little girl, and you took that from me
I know how it should’ve been
And day after day you fail me
Your role was an equal, you kept it three
Your ship sprung a leak then, I was saving me
You should have been stronger
A kick in the teeth, when you praise my strengths now
Think our slate is clean?
And I am still that little girl
Anticipating relief from all the pain you made me crave
And day after day you fail me
And I am still that little girl
Anticipating relief from all the pain you made me crave
And day after day you fail me

Daydreaming

Starlight, sing me all your secrets
Underneath a sun-lit moon
Ooh I'm chasin' my head out the window
Across a painted summer sky
You lean in a little closer
Catch the honey drippin' down my thigh
You leave me no surrender
By the time you slip inside
Darling whisper softly to me;
Something in the key of June
Trace the curves along my body
Until my flower is in bloom
Up and down this roller coaster
Like a puppet dancing on a string
You keep me wrapped around your finger
While I've got you wrapped up in me
Well my legs they start to tremble when you've got me off my feet
This hunger is never ending
The taste of you it lingers and visits in my dreams
Parting is such sweet sorrow

Sleep Alone

Well it’s a mighty shame to feel this way, the time keeps slipping by
Hopes are low, the tension’s high and nothing’s caught the eye
I’ll sleep alone
Ooh I sleep alone
Well the morning’s used to be sweet on me: candy coated red
Warmer days, a summer haze
My thighs against your head
I sleep alone
Oooh I’ll sleep alone
And in the dead of night it crept away, never to be found
And all the dreams I’ve been waiting, for crashed into the ground
I sleep alone
Ooh I sleep alone
Well the evenings used to be welcome friends
We’d light up and chase the stars
Now there’s nothing for idle hands; The Devil is in the cards
Oh, the winter’s chill has settled in, I feel it in my bones
Want a man to warm this tender skin, a man to make me moan
I sleep alone
Ooooh I sleep alone
It’s a mighty shame to feel this way, the time keeps slipping by
Hopes are low, the tension’s high and nothing’s caught the eye
So I’ll sleep alone
Ooh I’ll sleep alone
