The boys are coming... Lock up your daughters Lock up your sheep Keep one eye open At night when you sleep Hear the wind howl Shudder, your window They're on the prowl You're better off the less that you know I learned that the hard way The boys are coming... 'You're just like them,' he said with a grin. 'You're just like me.' 'No wonder I find myself so fucking disgusting!' The boys are coming... Do I look like I care? I learned that life's not fair.

F*ck Me (free) 05:08
When your body's pressed against mine I inhale your soul I'm dreaming of Old Spice But when you hold me I hate this hold you have over me And when you leave, I don't even know what to think This is dangerous We both know it This will be the death of us We both know it... (and he said, you know me better than that!) Chorus: There's a disconnect, a tattered spiderweb and everything we've said can be taken different than what we meant and love isn't supposed to be this way we've read the books and everything you'll close your eyes i'll close mine, too when I kiss you, we're sleeping in the same bed but we've never been so far apart we've never been like this 3 'o clock in the morning inside of me there's a war static freedom, I believe in light that match the only sound is your snoring inside of me there's a bomb crimson and clover, knock me over with your laugh (and he said, let's toast to today!) chorus Want my dignity? It's yours! You f*ck me and then look at me with scorn! How else should I humiliate myself? I'm completely open to suggestions...

Thirteen Stories (free) 02:58
Thirteen stories Thirteen minutes the time it takes to make it up may just be the death of you and you're not afraid you claim life flashing before your eyes future up in flames Twelve years no tears the books are my shelves are nothing but dust and the shell of my former self is covered with rust and the last thing I need is to think anymore and wonder, What if? I watched that falling star with a morbid interest I didn't make a wish 'cause that would be stupid I just thought about burning out and how close I am I can taste it now I can taste you now Don't worry about me I know you're not I'll make due I always have I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction of blindly tearing myself apart These remnants here are my shattered heart and I've got superglue, and lots of time and frankly, my dear, that is the divine The best years of my life were stolen away in a night and maybe, I should just curl up and die maybe, it's not worth putting up a fight maybe, I don't know what the hell I'm doing anymore Maybe. What if? Maybe. What if?

The Stars (free) 02:59
I used to imagine the stars were friends of mine it's not fair, they'd say to never see the light I'd be inclined to agree I could see the sun, but it couldn't see me It lost a bet to the dark on who could own my heart The great boar bore the burden too Orion and I are the hunter and hunted Not to mention, terribly haunted I kept waiting for my chest to cave in I don't want to say my dreams came true Never had a dream as nice as this Human contact, I surrender They can't promise, but I surrender The shadows that live in all of us appear just to laugh at me But I'm laughing, too, for the first time I have friends - friends in real life! And sometimes when I close my eyes and will it so I can feel it inside of me It's very faint, but it's still beating.

The Tale of Uncle (free) 01:48
Come one and come all to my wonderous show I'll give you entertainment with a red bow and you'll clap and applaud and it's really not hard Have you ever seen one of these in person before?! I travelled the desert to get the great grey sand lizard right through the tundra for the one-eyed black cobra and that's not the least of it be prepared to exclaim I've even got a Brazilian Carbuncle to my name! Uncle, the Carbuncle has a brain the average size of human's Uncle, the Carbuncle has an invaluable blue jewel where that brain meets his spine Uncle, the Carbuncle must live with the knowledge he's worth more dead than alive Uncle, the Carbuncle is just one of many in a long, sad line

All About Jewels (free) 03:50
I always had the unfortunate habit of picking at my scabs I do it without thinking, until, blood is on my hands Fortuitiously, I made a mess of things once again I hope you stick around you got through to me I won't let this end I wanna feel forever and know what that is... "Strange, how we, creatures of the petty ways" lock our doors but close our eyes while saying grace Can't walk two feet without tripping all over you Do you think of me the way I think of you? Hate counting chickens before they hatch Hate thinking of my battered past Hate the way my heart patters around my chest I wanna feel forever and know what that is... Chorus: Am I alive, or just faking? Are you mine, or for the taking? Alexandrite. Carbuncle red and left for dead. Am I awake, or just dreaming? 'Cause I don't deserve this at all Strange to see an unfamiliar smile on the face of a girl whose body I memorized everything from the Bible to Wilde and I still don't know how to let you know Hate, think, love is nothing more than hating someone because you're annoyed when they're not around I'm such a romantic. How did you do this? I wanna feel forever and know what that is... Chorus I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this at all... I always had the unfortunate habit of picking at my scabs...

Asleep (free) 05:16
I lost everything I owned in the battle I lost his face when the gun went off in my hand It was an accident I fell to the ground begging for forgiveness from something, whatever, I'll just have to fake it like everyone else I'm not kidding my- What is the meaning of interpretation? Life is different when it's not your own you're dealing with It was an accident Dirt in your hair and on your hands, you can't pretend something, whatever, it's all the same in the end I'm not kidding myself I'm not kidding my- Chorus: But part of me's saying, Hold on to this feeling you'd have to be an idiot to give it up and I will confess I think I deserve happiness after everything But I can't do that to you, don't know what you really want I'm the king of bad luck and you're just a pawn Do us both a favor and just move on I'm asleep, you've newly opened eyes I'm a creep, you opened my eyes Come down to me, fair maiden Walk alone in the wood If I eat you alive It'll satisfy us both but won't do any good (I lost everything I owned in the battle) Twenty years old and dead on the inside I won't play witness to your similar demise You're so innocent I'm hollow now, the last straw broke the camel's back Please leave love and don't look back You're so innocent I'm not kidding myself I'm not kidding my- Chorus This is goodbye. This is goodbye. I fooled myself into thinking that maybe something could happen, but nothing could happen to me like this...
