The Frail Girl

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

My nervous stage presence
I awkwardly smile
At the sassiest comment
In your outgoing style
You’ll cut out my heart
And you’ll do it to spite me
y’only like me cause I’m in a band
But at least you like me

I should feel bad
I should feel used
Keep my eyes closed
Just let me...

Just Pretend

Monday, June 21st, 2010

While I held you with our undry eyes
Happy years pass by
It’s OK to cry

After all
In the end
Just pretend

Well it’s sticks and stones
and broken homes
that taught us how to smile

After all
In the end
Just pretend

There’s a name that plays in my head
like a song
all day...

In The Desert

Friday, June 18th, 2010

When I am older
When I am 94
I’m gonna die in the desert
That’s what the desert’s for
And there’ll be no water
No rain, no hail, no tears
‘Cos it never rains in the desert
Like it has where I live here

I look up and see a million stars in the sky
Not a sound but the ringing in...
