Smoke and Mirrors

You seem to know me better than me
Because our words tell a different story
Ironic, 'cause your self-awareness is lacking
Well, if you don’t like it then you’d better get packing
Fabricated aspects that I made up to appease
Can’t define a trait to save my life, I know I’m such a tease
So if you think that I’m hostile, then I’m willing to believe
Knowing you, it would be foolish to expect apologies
Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer
You helped me once, I tried to reciprocate
It took me till now to realize you weren’t worth it
I spent so long trying to sympathize
But now there’s just one thing left I wanna emphasize
A person is no better than the company they keep
So I’ll meet your friends and hear their lies and know who to delete
If you tell me I’m a bitch then, just for you, I’ll be the queen
And I’ll make myself anew from ice and feed the guillotine
Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer
Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer too

Rose-Colored Prison

That I could ever be so wrong
An idea I entertained too long
It’s true, I gave so much to you
And I can’t say I’ll miss you or the awful things you do
I was desperate
But I should have seen this coming
Knowing what I know of you
Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free
A shame I can’t remember much
My mom’s birthday or what I had for lunch
I never hid my flaws from you
But I did hide my anger, and it gave you time to stew
And if I’d known
You’re the type to hold a grudge, then
I’d have saved some ammo too
Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free
(Isn’t it ironic?)
It’s ironic
This sounds like the type of conflict
Normally reserved for lovers
But I’m happy
To consider this the end
Of my time with the world’s worst friend
Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free

Neon Hell

In the lights I see
Messages etched
Bright, fluorescent prophecy
Futures fading with the sun
Does it speak the truth?
Isolation brings a promise too
I can see it creeping ever closer
Day by day
And still I wake up
Prepare to waste each day
I’ll live and die within this
Neon hell we’ve made
In the dark I read
Messages carved
Slashed into the mirror, lit
By the rising of the sun
But I’m not alone
Even at my lowest I see you
You and I will make it ever brighter
Day by day
And so I wake up
Try not to feel a waste
I’ll carve my name into this
Neon hell we’ve made

Take On the Sun

Oh, let’s take on the sun, face forward
Oh, the battle’s begun, let’s have some fun
Take the fight to the users
The abusers
Don’t waste time, now
It’s our chance, now
Fight for our good friends
Fight til the end
Don’t be shy
You hear the call of something greater
Ooh, so take up the torch and burn
Hell yeah, take on the users
The abusers
Don’t be shy, now
Now’s the time to
Fight for our children
For subversion
So let’s fly
