attention
03:16
|
|||
so there was a little girl...
{she was born with crooked little bones...}
who's bones were crooked and curled...
{a skeleton that could not wait to grow...}
and oh what joy did fill her figure
when their eyes would look and linger
laughing with here very first breath of air
upside down in a room of staring eyes
she only wants attention
so this precious newborn thing...
she was quite demanding...
and oh what joy to be looked upon
laughing with here very first breath of air
upside down in a room of staring eyes
she just wants attention
she only wants attention...
she shook just like a leaf
and started to glow blue
if she didn't get everyone's
ATTENTION

hedge
03:25
|
|||
now she's 6 years old
and so bored
with her parents
but there's a neighbor
who lives only one door down
as her parents sleep
she's sneaking
out the window
to him
and underneath a hedge
she's outside
his window
looking in
and when the morning comes
she knocks the door
and when he answers
she says "hello"
the neighbor smiles and says
"let me take your coat"
weeks and months
she visits him daily
she brings snacks
and he pours tea
and when the moment is right
she says "my friend
I need a new father who
I do not find so dull
I think it might be you"
and he said "yes"

draw
03:44
|
|||
what a wonderful glow in you
there behind your skin
your footsteps bend
but your eyes stay focused and clear
you can draw a crowd
even when you're just stepping out
so what do I owe
for this privilege now
little girl
you own the world
you own all the streets and buildings
you own everybody you meet
you do
you have just got to see this
she was once like you
then she started dancing with the fire
and I think you could do it too
you can draw a crowd
even when you're just stepping out
so what do I owe
for this privilege now
little girl
you own the world
you own all the streets and buildings
you own everybody you meet
you do

plans
04:26
|
|||
she's just eleven
she's only a baby
don't look like that at her
or just turn away
this isn't love
why are you turning back now
this could be love
this is only confusing her
this is only confusing her
this isn't love
this could be love
this isn't love
this could be love
I see her curiosity
soon she will try to make new friends
but she will keep working
she's meant for more than these children
she's my girl and we've got plans
focus on your dreams kid
forget love
love is loss of control
just forget love
love
just forget love
this isn't love
this could be love

toiler
02:48
|
|||
so she toiled every day
at drawing attention and countless favors
and oh what joy did fill her figure
when their eyes would look and linger
stage lights coming on up again
right at home with the glow behind her skin
she's in love with attention
so she learned to make thunder crack
she loved them all and they loved her back
and oh what joy did fill her figure
when their eyes would look and linger
stage lights coming on up again
right at home with the glow behind her skin
she's in love with attention
she only wants attention
she shook just like a leaf
and started to glow blue
if she didn't get everyone's
ATTENTION

bones
05:20
|
|||
her bones were still crooked
enough to make her whole body ache
in her legs
in her jaw
in her ribcage
there is a recurring dream that leaves her terrified
and she's been cracking
all her teeth up
in her sleep
her skin's becoming blue light once again
and when she dreams
it's always the same
countless beds
simply made
the people that find them
shiver and shake
she has to run
to tuck
them in
figures float down
from cracks in the ceiling there above
they're shaking
and they're crying
when she comes
placing her hands on his face
his body fell asleep and turned into clouds
and vanished
like a steam train
in the distance
again
she goes back into her room again...

clumsy
03:01
|
|||
and then
by accident
she meets
someone
instead of attending
he's just there
he's slow and not and clumsy gracefully
others bring attention
he just brings...
and they
can't contain
their laughter
and cries
she thinks about him when he's not by her side
weeks and months
she visits him daily
she just brings herself
and he brings
his curiosity
then
one day
he asks her
if she's made up her mind
and she says
"you you you you"
she hasn't even noticed her dreams changing
or the blue that has vanished
or the aching that has left her bones
she's comfortable...

confuse
03:03
|
|||
one morning while lying there next to him
half awake and asleep
she lets the sadness in:
'what if he takes it all away?'
will he stand in my way
he will stand in my way
I don't deserve him
don't I deserve
him
I need to be the first one making moves
why wont he wake the fuck up
he will stand in my way
will he stand in my way
I don't deserve him
don't I deserve him
will he stand in my way
he will stand in my way
I don't deserve him
don't I deserve

pieces
05:15
|
|||
it was fine
for a minute
for a minute or three
it was good
and messy
it was fun
while it lasted
but eventually
we both knew
it was over
all my peace is fallen from me
all my pieces falling from me
take me back to where I came from
long before I ever met you
all the way back to the place where I began
long before I ever met you
all my peace is fallen from me
all my pieces falling from me
my pieces fall and fall and fall...

poppy
02:14
|
|||
things are just fine
everything
honestly
I got every
adventure that
I might need
all alone and by my selves
I don't need all the hassles
but I don't want to go to sleep
my skin
is getting bluer
again
and this dream
wont leave me
again
my teeth are cracking up
more joints are swollen
got makeup hiding it
they wont see
I sweat it off
when the stage lights hide me
and I don't want to go to sleep
I don't want to go to sleep
go to sleep...
