Give Your Demons Away (To Me)
Abby
Starry eyed boy I want to keep you around
so I don’t want to waste all these words right now.
Scotty
Keep me in your passenger seat,
run your errands with my neck on your teeth.
Abby
But I don’t wanna get too close too soon,
I wanna keep my demons away from you.
Scotty
I can fight your jealousy,
want you to give your demons away to me.
Abby
They say I’m too flighty, unable to settle
but it’s not me, I’m just afraid of the devil.
Scotty
I know your heart is easy to break
but I promise you I can keep you safe.
Abby
I believe that may be true
but I wanna keep my demons away from you.
Scotty
I am stronger than I used to be,
want you to give your demons away to me.
Abby
I’m teenage riot with a bad credit score,
you can’t sleep in my bed but you can sleep on my floor.
Scotty
Oh baby that’s cool with me
as long as I hear the sounds you make when you breathe.
Abby
I wanna see what’s on the surface of the moon,
just wanna keep my demons away from you.
Scotty
But you can't fight what it’s gonna be
want you to give your demons away to me.
Abby
I promise your the only one I'll pursue
that’s why I wanna keep my demons away from you
Scotty
My love so true it’s gonna set you free,
want you to give your demons away to me

Everybody’s Growing Up
Descending down through the streets
the sky pale and forgotten,
horses falling over,
the morning sun is fading.
Everybody’s growing up.
Everybody’s growing old.
Everybody’s growing up.
Everybody’s growing cold.
Everybody’s being told.
Everybody’s drooling out the side of their mouth.
How long can a heart last
when everything arounds decaying?
I smiled and loved as a child
but now my love is aging.
Everybody’s growing up.
Everybody’s getting angry.
Everybody’s trying not to go crazy.
Everybody’s getting mad.
Everybody’s getting fat and lazy.
Everybody’s in fear, settling for a pointless, mediocre life.
We are born into a world
where everyone is crazy.
I offer my love to you
with the hopes that it will save me.
Everybody’s getting stuck.
Everybody’s blaming love.
Everybody’s making up diseases.
Everybody kind of sucks.
Everybody burns the clutch.
Everybody’s forgotten they are creating their own reality.
Eventually you gotta open up your heart,
you gotta open up your heart,
you gotta open up your heart
or you’ll go crazy
Eventually you gotta open up your heart,
you gotta open up your heart,
you gotta open up your heart,
you gotta let it all hang out.

Your Negative

Your Negative
That’s why your girlfriend left you.
That’s why you hate your boss.
That’s why people forget you.
That’s why you feel so lost.
That’s why your daddy’s a bastard.
That’s why you're feeling so sick.
That’s why the tears ain’t from laughter.
That’s why you wanna quit.
That’s why your negative,
that’s why you're negative,
all because you're negative.
That’s why the sidewalk trips ya.
That’s why your soda’s flat.
That’s why the officer kicked ya.
That’s why he ain’t coming back.
That’s why you don’t believe in angels.
That’s why your car won’t start.
That’s why you're afraid of strangers.
That’s why you don’t create art.
That’s why your negative,
that’s why you're negative,
all because your negative.

Dance For Days
I was thinking of the night I tried to die
when I took a look inside.
All the ugliness and shame came to the light
so I cut myself with a knife.
All the emptiness and dark ran on for days,
down I dug my grave.
And my parents didn’t know just what to say
so they gave me medication
I’m thinking of the night I felt the change
the night that I was saved.
I opened up my eyes on Christmas day
and God did it feel great.
I opened my mouth and tried to sing
and knew just what to say.
I picked up my guitar and tried to play
and now I dance for days

I am loved by homosexuals
cause i am nice to every guy
in the morning when the mirror comes
I always wave goodbye
I am loved by you
you are loved by me
we are one love
we are family
I am loved by african americans
cause my soul is never shy
in the evening when the moon is out
my smile is in the sky
I am loved by you

we are one love
we are one family
You gotta have love!
Love is strength!
Find it in you!
I’ll find it in me!
You gotta feel good!
Whatever it takes!
Your powerful heart
wasn’t meant to break!
I am loved by democrats republicans
cause i support both sides
in the winter when the rivers freeze
all people want is to feel right.

God's Daughter
05:06
|

You are made of earth.
I am made of water.
You are God’s son.
I am God’s daughter.
You and I were born
to be here for each other.
You are a man
but first you are my brother.
How could you ever rape me?
How could you ever hate me?
How could you ever take me away from God?
Father, son, and ghost
but where is the Goddess?
I love you the most,
let’s be honest.
How could you ever rape me?
How could you ever hate me?
How could you ever take me away from God?
God has been a woman forever.
Adam and Eve ate the apple together.

My heart is too big to pretend to be cool.
I’m way too smart to finish school.
I wish I had a cooler dad,
a big strong man who could understand emotion.
Emotion!
Mama tells me to live like Christ
but I can’t lead a perfect life.
I wish my mum wasn’t so dumb,
a kind lady who gets my crazy emotions.
Crazy Emotions!
Dreams that die out all the time,
I know their out to destroy mine.
I wish, wish people weren’t so evil,
more sincere, no fear of emotions.
I wanna trust what I got inside,
let my feelings be my guide.
I wish I believed in my ability
to be brave and ride the wave of emotions.

Chemotherapy

The spirit demands
a way out of this place
when my shaking hands
can’t get a grip,
losing weight
on a sinking ship
with no land in sight.
Leaning hard
against your scars,
baby leave the future behind,
it’s poisoning reality,
baby, please don’t die.
I need you now
not wrapped inside
this hospital comes alive
to drown its teeth
in your failing heart.
Your mother can’t stand.
Your father can’t speak
as his aging hands
move the fickle strands of your hair
from abandoned lands
in your eyes.
His memories say swim to me
back then he could save your life.
The cold machines that let you breathe
won’t let help you say goodbye.
The room is dark.
The wind is high
on your drying blood
but the quiet is nice.
Go to sleep now.
Find a dream.
Wait for me.
