I feel it coming, my plummet to rage
It rumbles sweet inside of my brain
You’re every battle that my poor mother lost.
Can’t say i’m sorry that you’re getting tossed.
We’re drinking rum and beating the boys.
In loving memory of a girl with no toys.
It ain’t your fault. No, I know that that’s clear,
but I’m still pissed and you’re the one here.
Everything I ever loved, I’ll destroy
Everything I ever loved, I’ll destroy
Someday i’ll make my daddy pay.
For all the shit he made me take.
One fateful day i’ll make him see.
That there’s no one stronger than me.
Nothing is working, but solider on.
And now resentment is rich in my palms
The cuts are deeper. They need more to fill
But I get squeamish and I don’t like pills.
I wish I told him that I wish he had died,
instead of Mama when she lost her life.
Everything I ever loved, you destroyed
Everything I ever loved, you destroyed
Everything I ever loved i’ll destroy
Everything I ever loved i’ll destroy
Someday i’ll make my daddy pay.
For all the shit he made me take.
One fateful day i’ll make him see.
That there’s no one stronger than me.

Words: Karen Music: Scott
I don’t know what day it is
But I’m working
Dissociated
Waiting tables
There’s a flask inside my bag.
I don’t know how to say this
But the crazies got me whiling
No insurance
Medicate with a Long Island.
Damn I think I lost my mind.
NOT NOW
How the hell am I supposed to make it
As a real boy
With a real job
And some money
When my mind is so messed up
Damn it I try
With a suit and a tie
But the panic is every day now
From my desktop
Oh no ma Ma it won’t stop
Oh I think I lost my mind
NOT NOW.

Words: Karen Music: Karen
I heard a song on the radio
They were telling my story again
A lady longs for a hero
My repetition I keep making amends
I thought I was strong boy i’m feeble
Won’t you hold me through the rain this time?
I been running through some people
A marathon without a finish line.
Will you be the one to save me from myself?
I’ve always stood on my very own
But then again i’m always holding a hand
I left home when I was 17
Maybe that is when the searching began
A desperation for some company
Soothing with the loving touch of a man
or a stranger, or a neighbor, sometimes ladies be my baby
Lay me down / so I can feel myself
I need the weight of you to know i’m around.
Will you be the one to save me from myself?
Oooh Can you blame me?
My naïveté?
Chewing fairytales before I could speak.
Foolish sad girl
I would do anything to be free
You said if I were good I could have anything I could ever dream for
You said if I were a good girl…
Will you be the one?
Will you be the one to save me from myself?

Kill Me

Words: Scott Music: Scott
All of the grief and the guilt that I have
Suck all enjoyment from life
Anything fun that could be an escape
It came at too much of a price
Built on the backs of the slaves using
Stolen resources a palace of luxury
Sucking the life out
About to dry out and crumble
Wasting away through the rest of our lives
As the world commits mass suicide.
All this depression is just an excuse
To completely check out of life
Blaming my helplessness and my despair
on all of these decades of strife.
To avoid accepting the truth
I cower in front of mortality
About to cry out
Knowing the words I still tremble
Wasting away through the rest of our lives
as the world commits mass suicide
KILL ME
Wasting away through the rest of our lives
as the world commits mass genocide.
The weight of her inevitable death is slowly crushing me
by all appearances she is happy and healthy
but who she was has already been erased
The disease has reduced her to a child like state
where she doesn’t remember anything for long
All I can think of is the final request she made of me
To die with dignity
She can’t remember, but I can’t forget.
Wasting away through the rest of our lives
contemplating assisted suicide
hoping and wishing I won’t be complicit
in genocide.
