your skin like parchment my lips the quill and ink your skin has been untouched my fingertips drip in envy my hands can’t stop shaking my eyelids yearn for sleep my skull is numb from the pounding the last words you spoke begging to be set free that you hate me as spring fades to summer my rib cage grows weak my heart’s been a-thumpin knocking the wind from me my skin longs to stick to yours on dusty, old milwaukee floors my nails are numb from the hours contemplating the words that you set free that you hate me well I have news for you I hate me too

Drink Up 04:14
do you think you’re brave with your lips around the barrel of your daddy’s gun mom and dad they’ve paid thousands maybe millions for you to have your fun numb your tongue with the whiskey and the rum run your thumbs up the thighs of the young your life is so hard from the parties to the bars drink up son make daddy proud of his young your life is so hard yet your the one who broke my heart and I’m the sane one am I the sane one for once and yes I caved admitted defeat before you could see my lack of light you think you’re in pain screaming pity me, boy you’re the one who filled my head with lies those perfect little lies numb your tongue with the whiskey and the rum run your thumbs up the thighs of the young your life is so hard from the parties to the bars drink up son make daddy proud of his young your life is so hard yet your the one who broke my heart and I’m the sane one am I the sane one how could I be the sane one for once

I’ve felt colder decembers With mountains of snow I’m disappointed with the weather For I long to feel cold and need warmth I want to need your warmth I’ve seen darker decembers This light is blinding my mind Light beams binding together I’ll burrow in blankets until I find your warmth I need your warmth and on cold winter nights you’ll remind me That I am the lucky one I’ve felt colder decembers Bundle in mittens scarves and coats Lying naked along side the fire and I’ll nibble down your throat to feel your warmth I long to feel your warmth

You’re just an oriole singing songs To the sailors that have lost their lives at sea And I’m just a woman sippin’ whiskey And stumbling off her widow’s peak The fog rolls in and drowns the town And the light house sings its summer song The breeze from the sea Twirls its way trough the chimes and the willow trees And you said to me Dear Dawnlight, of my springtime Will you forever be mine Sing me sweet lullabies You gathered over wintertime When your heart was exposed to sweet delight And when the sun kisses the earth goodnight and we lose the sight of our fireflies When the stars go back into their outer sky Will you forever be mine We rode our bikes for miles on end Just to dip our feet where the river bends You promised me you’d love me Until the morning dove refused to sing You carried me up to the mountain top Just to scream our lungs across the town And you painted me in colors As vibrant as the changing leaves And you said to me Dear Dawnlight, of my springtime Will you forever be mine Sing me sweet lullabies You gathered over wintertime When your heart was exposed to sweet delight But when the sun kissed the earth goodnight and we lost sight of our fireflies And when the stars went back into their outer sky I knew you’d never be mine

Deadly Sin 03:38
Im blinded by lust Cant see the games youre playin with my heart My tongue is tied up in knots But i crave your lips when we’re apart And im drowning in greed From the pleasure that you evoke in me And your touch erupts a fire that leads to need Im tangled in a desire weed You’re a deadly sin I bite your lip suck in your poison My veins run dry let me breathe you in Let the fun begin Yes you’re a deadly sin Dont leave untouched any inch of my skin I’ll be your whiskey, you be my gin Let the fun begin And you’re swimming in pride Your ego rips its way out from inside I see the darkness in your eyes But I cant help but need to pry my way inside You make me boil with rage When you lock my hunger up in its cage You set me up center stage And its time to let me play You’re a deadly sin I bite your lip suck in your poison My veins run dry let me breathe you in Let the fun begin Yes you’re a deadly sin Dont leave untouched any inch of my skin I’ll be your whiskey, you be my gin Let the fun begin You’re a deadly sin Dont leave untouched any inch of my skin I’ll be your whiskey, you be my gin Let the fun begin You’re a deadly sin Dont leave untouched any inch of my skin You've been begging me for hours for me to let you in Let the fun begin
