Phone Booth

Deep breath and another
i try to run faster.
they have caught me again
trapped in the ally's end.

Rain falling so hard
I'm slipping in the mud.
i have stumbled many times,
but i cannot dare to fall.
my arm hooks into a broken booth door
somewhere in Africa
I'm lost don't i know
i step under against the phone
if only i had your number,
a code, a key, a friend to call
someone to ease the fear


pale mud on my sleeve smears
the glass as i push my way out
crying now from the muscle ache
i don't want to run anymore!
i step and bound.
I'm running forever more...

Screwing Around

i cant lie when you ask me
i want to but you can see
the black and blue all over my back
the idea that I'm gonna crack
the fate we share
i know he doesn't care
i called for the wrong reason
your chain's got my keys on

i need your body more
than the comfort you brought
or the time when he caught
us together and walked
but he came back when
you left me to go to work
you say you know it hurt
I hide it with a baggy shirt

He beats hard through
You'll fuck him up good
I'm texting late to you
You know what to do
Find me alone again
Help my mind erase him
Bury yourself in my skin
I just wanna forget him

Riot

start a fire,
make me go insane.
ride the high and
get kicked off again.
Breathe the future,
never feel the same.

out of control and i love it this way...

paint the town red,
watch me start a fight.
fear is blissful,
dance with me all night.
Start a riot,
And then go running away

Out of control and I love it this way!

Big Kids Talk

Daddy works a long day.
He's been out since real early,
and he's coming home real late

So Mamma's making new friends.
They give her lots a money,
More than Daddy ever spends

Bigger kids on the street talk.
Calling her names i don know,
Saying she married Daddy for love

But now she getting love somewhere else
Cause Daddy's working all day
And hes coming home real late

I Don't Bite

People always tell me I'm a beautiful girl

but to me it's the meanest curse in the world

'cause when I'm shopping and i see a hot guy looking at me

he usually never has the nerve to speak!

Don't be shy boy - help me with me groceries

Spend a dime boy - take me for a nice ice-cream

I'm still kind boy - might be pretty but I'm still a reality

I'm alright boy - i don't bite boy

unless you want me to...

now when i go clubbing you can imagine my demise

I can't look any direction without meeting a pair of eyes

i don't have the time to watch you watching me

have some faith, honey take a leap

Don't be shy boy - come over say hi to me

Spend a dime boy - but me a drink and you'll see

I'll be fine boy - put me out of my misery

I'm alright boy - i don't bite boy

unless you want me to...

Guys like you are few and far between

don't you see there's no-one here with me

talk to me honey, before i get up and leave

you know everyone's staring at me, but i'm only looking at you...

Don't be shy boy - come over here,let's dance baby

Spend some time boy - No is not the word tonight, you'll see

I won't lie boy - I'm taking you home with me

I'm alright boy - I don't bite boy

unless you want me to...

Doorstep

I always prayed that we'd end up together,
But its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
Its like shedding my tears in rainy weather.
If I told you how I feel I know you'd know better

Who would have thought it'd come to this conclusion,
Did you ever really love me or was that my illusion,
Am I standing here for nothing, screaming in confusion,
Do you even care at all that I'm here begging my profusion?

Or did I just waste your time?
Darling, where you ever mine?

Difficulty Breathing

Breath has been lost,
chase it back, keep it out...
only liquid fills me slowly,
breaking my shaking body...

screams sound silent ,
just as worthless, as my lungs, to shout...
bubbles-life giving air-floats away from my reach...
my frail life still,
my arms too heavy...
Give me air!
let it in!
gasp to breathe...

Die without...
