Honey
Welcome to the radio variety show
I am your hostess tonight, I hope you already know
about my proclivities and my perverse ways
chase down bliss that I turned astray, hey
I slant my rhymes and I speak them low
don’t wanna scare you off, pretty baby, don’t go
just take a seat, we’ll get along okay,
as long as you’re checking my flow,
as long as you mean what you say.
One more time, I’ll make the introductions
I’m the empress commencing your deconstruction
I’m the cavewoman muttering the incantations
Motherfucking boss of the operations.
Honey moves slow in the wintertime
Infatuation, oo, sublime
Honey got cold and I’m moving on
Walk myself out of Babylon
I went around the whole world only to find
that it didn’t compare to what I hatch in my mind
the humans disappoint me every day
when they can’t keep up with the games I wanna play.
Synaptic lightning, handclap aristocrat
turn you up so hot I’m about to break the thermostats
I’ll delegate you till you decompose
dance baby, dance baby, point those toes.
Honey moves slow in the wintertime
Infatuation, ooooo, sublime
Honey got cold and I’m moving on
Walk myself out of Babylon
I never signed up to be a brick in your wall
I’ve got no interest in taking your falls
you’ve gotta get a stunt double, on the double, like quick
I mean, before my vernacular gets into your drip.
That’d be the end of your day-to-day,
I got verbs like a pistolwhip straight to the brain
you’d drop your lifestyle and trade it for mine
front so hard you get left behind.

You Know Me
I’ve been talking to you too long
You put ideas in my head
I’m always listening at your keyhole
I’m always wondering what you said
Well, you know me, I’ve got to choose
I don’t play games that I think I’ll lose
Keep me spinning on your string,
Lower me down under your skin
Under your skin
You can hit it if you want to
I’ve been loving you for too long
I know your devious ways
I can predict all of your patterns
I forecast seven days
Well, you know me, I love the game
I came to win if I came to play
Keep me dancing on my toes,
I want to roller coast those highs and lows
Highs and lows
You can hit it if you want to
Baby, you know me
If you want to.

Prison Break
sneak out master plan
blueprint promised land
tunnel vision underground
tiptoe silent sound
get free shed the skin
live in disillusionment
don’t sing don’t cry
songbird just fly
out of my body looking down below
I see my skeleton is not my home
and I run and I cry and I age and I die
this flesh is my prison
these bones are the bars of my cage
body talk never be
at peace in my anatomy
mirror weapon deadly shade
shapeshifter everyday
costume drapery,
adornment not me
blood flow bone crack
skull whip brain snack
out of my body looking down below
I see my skeleton is not my home
and I run and I cry and I age and I die
this flesh is my prison
these bones are the bars of my cage
manacle overthrown
prisoner nevermore
green grass rat race
picket fence tongue chase
caution wind
dreams live
do make
burn break

Walk With The Ghosts
I am a passenger, cut loose in the stream
I forfeit my diligence, I put down my dreams.
I must repair myself. I must escape.
I follow the traffic lights,
I live to obey.
I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts.
No blood in my body, no fight in my bones.
My sacred desire, my beauty profane.
Silence the messenger, bottle the rain.
I’d gladly surrender this human charade.
I am tired and I’m cynical,
but I’m not afraid.
I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts.
No blood in my body, no fight in my bones.
So if you know mercy, let me flow down the drains.
Send my soul to the guillotine, put my heart back in chains.
I move through this city, I walk with the ghosts.
No blood in my body, no fight in my bones.
As much as you study, you still never know.
As far as you wander, you still are alone.
