"Torch & Pitchfork Girl"

Too often you compare me to
a narcissist with city blues
Dimming lights 'n' macabre moods
got hues infusin' with the gloom

Spotlights never shine on you
conductin' vampire interviews
I see your blood stained kisses
but I'm known to slit a wrist or two

Maybe pop a pill or few
then drink em' down with holy water
Sinkin' fast to a rocky bottom
that looks alot like Sodom 'n' Gohmorra

Rainin' brimstone on a sea of torches
Claimin' this whole empires yours to toy with
Good ol' boys show with swords 'n' pitchforks
with more short circuits than a broken switch board

Pourin' out the venom
to avoid droppin' the b***h word
Which word is worse
to a witch who ain't hurt by curse words

This verse will hit first
Darlin' keep defenses up
Both feet deep beneath the mud
You clench your fists 'n' eat the dust

quick enough Wishin' I was
not so damn good at givin' up
Pricked the arm 'n' didn't feel a rush
Didn't hit a line Didn't get the push

Never is enough Couldn't give a f**k less
if I was seventeen chasin' dreams 'n' sunsets
If I've ever been clean it was brief 'n' sudden
It's no more runnin' just to glimpse what love is

Worlds filled up with these imps 'n' puppets
Everyone got a master they're scared to f**k with
One wants a sunray to stay warm under it
Another wants a storm 'n' they wait for thunderin'

Lightnin' strikes 'n' the f****n' shudders break
It might be right if you let me suffocate
Pirates life 'n' a treasure of mistakes
are frightening sights when the pleasure fades
