Pride 02:01
I am swallowing my pills I am swallowing my pride I'm doing my very best to keep the monsters locked inside sticks and stones and broken bones I'll use them all to build my throne So please come out and play with me I'll letcha climb my apple tree I wanna squeese your toes When I see them in your shoes I never wanna be The only redhead in the room I want all of my wind chimes In A major's what she said And why don't things appear to you As they do in my head Cus I am swallowing my pills I am swallowing my pride I'm doing my very best to keep the monsters locked inside of me sticks and stones and broken bones I'll use them all to build my throne So please come out and play with me I'll letcha climb my apple tree I can hear my teeth rattle I can hear my bones rattle I can hear my chains rattle And I'm longing to be free And although it just might be P-P-Please don't call me crazy Cus I am swallowing my pills I am swallowing my pride I'm doing my very best to keep the monsters locked inside of me sticks and stones and broken bones I'll use them all to build my throne So please come out and play with me I'll letcha climb my apple tree

Cats 02:16
i know i look cute but i don't wanna talk to you i've already got more friends than i can care for and therefore although i look cute no i don't wanna talk to you ive already got more friends than i can care for and therefore walking down the street tryin not to smile which is quite a shame cus its nice ta do once in awhile but your swimmin in a lake full of crocodiles waitin to test your spine but i won't keep my eyes to the ground this is my street too and its my right to and i don't wanna miss all the things above the cracks in the pavement so though i look cute no i dont wanna talk to you ive already got more friends than i can care for and therefore although i look cut no i don't wanna talk to you i've already got more friends than i can care for and therefore and yeah i know that we're radiating positive heat the body of a woman yeah it's sure something neat but maybe read a book or watch some better TV there's so much more to life than callin girls on the street.

Buried 02:16
buried alive except i'm not underground i am sitting right here picking salt from my wounds grain by grain watching the time tick by carrying weight punching the clock tiptoeing softly to not disturb weeping i pull on the rope wait for the fall open the door to find you but there's nothing at all hitting the keys spinning my web rolling the dice running the stairs just to find myself here waiting for sleep was that a dream or did you erase everything?
