Sensations

I strangled sensations with your most blond innocent lies,
It's the oddest operation to tear my gaze away from your eye,
Wait eyes I need more
Lions Cage
fuck that now,
I hope you're not offended,
tell me how it is you are,
and how the diamonds spent on me,
didn't do what you expected,
I heard you're single and that I'm connected to
strings that guide me down the hallway
to the corner room when a knee grab calls me,
things language has lost my interest,
au revoir first blond my french kiss pivot.
Slow your rolling
Please sir I want some more
Hold me back I wanna pause this,
I want it bad I want the raw shit,
Hold me back I wanna cause this
I want it bad I want the raw shit
I wanna cause this

Catalyze

Hey come and catalyze me,
I don't want fake love I want I-F-E,
smoke rings from burning my last leaves,
cause you're not here to catalyze me.
Hey babe why you light your lungs,
I'm headed home soon we're in better luck,
slow change but we're getting there,
I feel your smoke rings smoggin' my air.
He catalyze me, he got callous hands,
he got a nose ring,
he got a latent style,
it takes him awhile,
when I come round he be like,
oh no no oh child!
I'm naked in a shark tank and I think the tide is rising,
I'm swimming a dark stain hallucinating hiding,
I got quite the fucking migrain despite the lack of sound or lighting,
I wonder if he can smell my veins and if I smell exciting,
my oh my you smell exciting
I want you but I don't mean now,
I do want to but I don't know how,
I want you (don't know how).
I;'m a stay at home careful,
I'm a stay at home handful.
I'll taunt you,
I'll flaunt you.

Prom

Wait i don't know you anymore,
we've changed, now I'm the first one on the dance floor,
I don't know you've heard about me.
I never went to prom cause I never owned a long dress,
so I told my date that I would rather take a rain check,
I never understood how makeup could make you evil,
looking back now I think it all ought to be illegal.
I climbed the highway rocks and made the wind my new acquaintance,
terrified to dance but when I did i found it painless,
two steps led me to trouble and a tutu,
drinking so much on Tuesdays that by Friday i was all through,
the underlying thought wasn't that I was just shy,
It was that I was so young I had never experienced a high,
euphoria, ecstasy, pure MDMA was that acid or opium when you kissed me the other day.

If you can't count on karma then you can count on me,
if you can't be the prima donna, then you can marry me.
Wait I need your-
Get low, I don't wanna
get high, I'll feel farther,
get slow, It's time yo charm ya,
it's 4 o'clock I've never tried harder
Heads turn you look my way,
eyes lock im thrown sideways,
got me searchin highways,
it's getting dark I've never looked harder.

Drop Dimes

|
You're bleak but I'm evil,
you're chic but I'm all soul,
you're meek but an eyeful,
and I'm the quiet type that can be quite awful.
Vermont sky falls,
it's not my fault,
that your mine (all mine),
ten years too late.
I'm just nineteen,
and you're saying you love me,
and I'm saying it back,
inside of my first tattoo.
I heard that hurricanes smile,
when you drop dimes,
when you drop,
anything.
Drop dimes
