Not a Funeral

How did I get here,
My hands crossed upon my chest
Laid out in flowers
And in my favorite dress
But truthfully,
Your eulogy is moving me
But pinch me, I'm awake
It's not, not, not a funeral
And I don't want to make a scene
This is not, not my funeral
Don't you close the lid on me
My heart, my brain, my muscles,
Wisdom atrophy
So excuse my uselessness
But don't you bury me
You hold my hand,
It's stiff again
But that's what happens
When the cold sets in
No it's not, not, not a funeral
And I don't want to make a scene
This is not, not my funeral
Don't you close the lid on me
Never felt so helpless
In a place of so much peace
A few moments of silence
As I feel you watching me
My heart's still running
But you can't detect a beat
Because when I pulled the trigger it set me free
When I pulled the trigger it set me free
When I pulled the trigger it set me free
When I pulled the trigger I felt so....
It's not, not, not a funeral
And I don't want to make a scene
No this is not, not my funeral
Don't you close the lid on me...

Stupid Little Mouth

Oh my god, I've never been
So thirsty before
When all of the lemonade's spilled
All over the floor
Yeah, I can still feel
My teeth are aching from cold
Like something's got a hold
Of my stupid pretty little mouth
My stupid, tongue-tied, never-thought-out
This stupid silly little mouth of mine
I think that I need to think
About getting some help
Because if I can't solve this
Then maybe the doctors can tell
Yeah, well,
Maybe they'll say that
They'll just fix me surgically
And pull my favorite memories
Or just that I should shut my mouth
My stupid, angry, just can't calm down
Just shut this pretty little mouth of mine
Maybe I can't hear you talking now
And maybe I don't want to think
That you're happier now
And I know it's strange,
But it makes me feel better
To picture you just getting older and madder
And I like to say these mean things out loud
And I don't know why I won't back down
With this stupid, silly, little mouth of mine
Yeah this stupid, pretty little mouth
My broken-hearted, beaten-down
This stupid, silly, little mouth of mine

Cold and Bitter Girl

He won't allow himself to despise her
She's attacking,
Though it makes him all the wiser
No one's leaving completely unharmed
Just when her saccharine love eats through
The walls around his heart
He knows he's got something left to guard
It don't matter,
We just are what we are
He says you'll never take me alive
Not this time
Because all you have is more than you deserve
And I'll never put up such a fight over pride
I won't stand here
You're a cold and bitter girl
I am flawed, I am human
And I make mistakes that are all mine
I am scarred and I have proven my worth
So where's mine?
And you, you, you
You cut me down but I'm not falling unarmed
Yeah, you'll never take me alive
Not this time
Because all you have is more than you deserve
And I'll never put up such a fight over pride
No I won't stand here in your cold and bitter world
Let's pretend we're not angry
Just 'cause we're in love
What's the difference if it's only just one of us
Saying who is this monster who'll watch me die
Yeah, who is this monster
With me here by the riverside?
You will lose yourself in line
'Til you lose your mind
You will lose yourself in line
'Til you lose your mind
You will lose yourself in line
'Til you lose your mind
Well you'll never take me alive
Not this time
Because all you have is more than you deserve
And I'll never put up such a fight over pride
No, I won't stand here in your cold and bitter world
No, no I won't stand here in your cold and bitter world
Oh, no I won't stand here in your cold and bitter world

Cherry Barbs

Tell me your forgiveness is all in kindness
Lie, lie, lie, lie to me
I'll walk away if we strike a bargain
It's fine, fine, fine, finally
Pull your hand from the fire
And drop it entirely
It's coming back now to haunt me
The monster inside of me
Any and all survivors
Standing in line with me
All, all, all, all surviving
Hearts on the table with moscato and nicotine
You can help yourself to anyone in the room
And if you're feeling angry then
Just do what you do
But if somebody tells you to run,
Don't wait
Somebody once told me,
When you're staring down the barrel
If they hold their weapon steady
You can hear them being careful
Because you can't aim at a person's heart
When it's always so unstable
But you swim around it like cherry barbs
On a sharp and winding cable
And so all my criers
The lovers who won't be shamed
And all my believers in promises never made
When it's so long from now
And nobody knows their name
Just a forgotten face
In a half-empty bottle of jäg
